IEEE Cognitive Communications for Aerospace Applications (CCAA) Workshop

Authors and attendees can register for this workshop and additional information for the workshop can be found on the main workshop site – http://ieee-ccaa.com.

NASA Glenn Research Center will host a two-day workshop: June 27-28, 2017 at Ohio Aerospace Institute (Cleveland, OH).

This is the first workshop on cognitive communications systems hosted by NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC), IEEE Cleveland Section, and the AIAA Communications System Technical Committee in Cleveland, OH. The aim of this workshop is to bring together Academia Researchers, Engineers, Technologists, Industry Personnel and Government agencies to discuss and present their recent advancements and future interest in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning with applications toward the development of cognitive communication systems for aerospace.
