Workshop Program
The CORAL 2013 program includes 10 regular papers selected after a careful peer review process. The workshop has received 38 submissions, and the overall acceptance rate is 26%. In addition to a very interesting program of scientific papers, the Workshop program also includes a distinguished Keynote Speaker: Prof. Petri Mahonen, (director of the Institute for Networked Systems at RWTH Aachen University, Germany).
The CORAL 2012 final program (.pdf) is also available here for download.
