28 August 2015T Kari Laitinen3 The Seminar on Wireless Future provides a forum for the students to practice preparing and presenting a paper in a scientific or engineering conference. Each student will prepare first an abstract and later a manuscript on a selected subject related to wireless technologies, and present it on the agreed date. The subject of the paper can be related to the subject of the Master’s Thesis of the student. In addition, each student will act as an opponent of another student’s presentation.
