Bridging the Digital Divide – Quality, Reliability and Secure Access for All
For the 2021 edition, the workshop will identify problems and solutions to bring quality, reliable, and secure access to the under-served in rural and urban areas. The problems and solutions will be discussed from three perspectives – Reachability, Equity and Extensibility.
The IEEE CQR International Workshop is held annually with the purpose of bringing together industry and academic experts to present and discuss communications quality, reliability and security issues as they relate to real world issues. The output from the workshops adds to the community’s body of knowledge and serves to inform, help form opinions, and to assist in the development of best practices and relevant standards.
At the annual workshop, participants gather to present research results, share visions and ideas, obtain updates on latest technologies and expand professional and social networks. These activities are realized through IEEE CQR’s multiple diversified and exciting programs. The event includes several keynote speeches by distinguished speakers from industry, academia and government sectors; panels; technical content presentation and discussion sessions; paper sessions featuring technical papers extensively reviewed by peers; social and networking events; and an awards and recognition banquet.
