= WARP Workshop at Rice University - March 29-30, 2010 =
The tenth WARP workshop will be held at Rice University on March 29-30, 2010.

== Overview ==
The WARP Workshop is designed to introduce researchers to the tools and design flows used to build custom wireless networking designs on WARP. The materials cover the basics of the WARP hardware and introduce the platform's physical and MAC layer design flows. The workshop is composed of both technical presentations, delivered by the Rice students and staff working on WARP, and hands-on lab exercises using the WARP hardware and design flows.

The content and organization will be similar to our previous workshops, the materials for which are available [wiki:Workshops here].
