Call for Submissions
You may make one or more submissions under the following categories. In addition to submitting a talk, you may submit your topic to the Technical Proceedings of GRCon16, detailed below. You do not need to submit a full technical paper to the Proceedings in order to present at GRCon.

Presentations are 30 minutes long, including 5 minutes reserved for questions. Each presentation should be a slide-deck that can be shared publicly (PDF) after the conference. For presentations that are technical in nature, talks that present real-world development / testing will be favored over simulation-only work.

Tutorials are 40 minutes long, and should have an educational or “How-To” approach. If slides are used, they should be publicly shareable (PDF) after the conference. Demonstrations or “real-time examples” are welcome!

Posters can display any type of material that you believe is interesting to the community, and while most posters are technical, they don’t have to be. There is no poster template, so you can create whatever layout you would like. Poster easels will be provided.

To submit your presentation, please send us your presentation abstract by e-mail. Your abstract submission should include the following information:

Submission Type (Presentation, Tutorial, Poster)
Technical Description of Presentation(100 – 250 words)
Author(s) Names
Organization (if any)
Follow-Up Contact Information
If your submission is accepted, you must register for the conference. Please note that Student registrations are free. See the Pricing page for more details.

Please note that submitting a paper to the Technical Proceedings is not required to submit a Presentation, Tutorial, or Poster, but is strongly encouraged. You also do not need to attend the conference to publish in the Technical Proceedings.



Technical Proceedings Call For Participation
The GNU Radio Project is pleased to announce its first annual technical proceedings to accompany the GNU Radio Conference 2016. We are excited to offer a venue for publication of important technical contributions in the area of applied radio technology at the intersection of Academic, Commercial, Free & Open Source Software, and Government.

Participation in the Technical Proceedings is entirely optional for speakers, but highly recommended to provide a deeper and more complete written reference for your work, future users, and derivative works to refer to in the future!

Open Source, Open Access Radio Research
We are strong believers in open access to research and strongly encourage you to co-submit your paper to arxiv.org and to provide any relevant reference implementations, simulations, or other source code via online hosting (e.g., Github). Providing source code and reference implementations to allow others to independently reproduce the results of your paper is highly recommended.

Call for Papers
Unpublished papers focused on open, applied, radio technologies, especially those using or advancing GNU Radio, are welcomed for submission. Papers must conform to the author guidelines below. We will follow a single blind review cycle and provide rolling reviews upon submission.
