AIMS AND SCOPE	
-----------------------------	
An essential feature of future wireless communications is efficient, flexible	
and dynamic spectrum utilization. A wireless network taking advantage of	
spectrum measurements is a new, promising approach among conventional dynamic	
spectrum access techniques capable of delivering such smart spectrum utilization.	
By analyzing real world spectrum utilization, it is possible to obtain information	
on the actual spectrum usage statistics which can be used to develop spectrum		
usage models that can enhance the performance of estimating and predicting	
the spectrum status, as well as improving spectrum resource management,	
sharing and allocation. 
	
IEEE WCNC 2017 International Workshop on Smart Spectrum aims to bring together	
researchers, industry practitioners as well as members of standardization bodies	
and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and future directions	
for smart spectrum utilization. The technical discussion will be focused on wireless	
network technology based on spectrum measurements, spectrum utilization modeling,		
and their applications for dynamic spectrum access.
