PISCATAWAY, N.J.: The IEEE’s Broadcast Technology Society issued a Call for Papers for its fall symposium. The event, in its 60th year, will be held at the Westin Hotel in Alexandria, Va., Oct. 20-22. Abstracts are due May 15. Sought-after topics include technical issues associated with the end of analog broadcast; repurposing analog transmitters; cable, terrestrial, satellite, Internet and wireless TV and radio systems; streaming media, wireless broadband; and broadcast signal distribution.

The BTS is also soliciting proposals for half-day tutorials on the same topics, listed in more detail on the abstract deadline announcement. A concomitant call for panelists is also proffered. Submission abstracts should be between 500 and 1,000 words, and sent by e-mail to bts@ieee.org.
