Comms Connect Melbourne 2016 — call for papers

Organisers are now calling for expressions of interest to present case studies and technology papers at the 2016 Comms Connect Melbourne conference.

The event will take place from 22–24 November this year and will once again return to the Melbourne Exhibition and Conference Centre.

Case studies may target a specific end-user group (eg, mining or public safety) or may be a more general paper with broader audience appeal.

Training workshops may have multiple presenters from different organisations and you may be asked to work with industry colleagues to deliver a training workshop. Topics for consideration for workshops include but are not limited to:

• Applications — innovations for business and mission-critical users
• Cybersecurity —protecting your critical systems and networks
• Next-generation networks — what does the future look like?
• Future technologies and their use — from UAVs to wearables
• Biometrics — their use in public safety environments for the benefit of all
• Disruptive technologies — what do you need to know?
• Software-defined networking
• Geospatial and situational awareness
• Connected vehicles — utilising for maximum advantage — where and when?
• Social media — its use and application in emergency management
• Control rooms — data, its use and how to handle the influx

Technology papers, however, must not be vendor-specific or sales-oriented.

Abstract submissions close on 1 July 2016. If successful, you will be contacted sometime in August. Material must be submitted by 1 November 2016.
