Dates have changed compared to the preliminary CFP!
Water systems are of vital importance to life on earth and commerce, and
WUWNet is the premier venue for early work bringing real-time, in-situ sensing
and actuation to this aquatic world. The workshop will span one and a half
days, including presentations of technical papers, a keynote talk, and a
poster/demo session.
The scope of the WUWNet workshop covers a broad range of research directions
related to underwater systems, including communications, networking, system
integration, and vehicle coordination.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Underwater network architectures
- Efficient underwater communications, with techniques from physical
layer to application
- Cooperative underwater communications, including, PHY, MAC, routing,
and data transfer
- Services for underwater systems, such as localization, time synchronization,
reliable data transfer, security
- Subsea communication for underwater vehicles (gliders, submersibles,
etc.)
- Coordination algorithms for underwater vehicles and sensor nodes,
or human operator interaction
- Modeling, simulation, and testbeds for underwater systems
- Applications that broadly address subsea networks, including coordinated
vehicle systems
- Experimental results from underwater networking trials
- Application requirements for underwater networks presented by end
users
Submission Guidelines:
Submissions for technical papers must describe original research, not
published or currently under review for other workshops, conferences, or
journals.
All papers will be reviewed by the program committee for novelty and contribution.
The workshop accepts two types of papers: full and short. Short papers
can present new ideas or new visions that may influence the direction of
future research, yet they may be less mature than full papers. While an exhaustive
evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth
understanding of the issues is expected. Full papers should be more complete
in their evaluation and the maturity of the system and ideas. All
accepted papers, long and short, will be published in the workshop proceedings.
Paper submission will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare
a PDF version of their papers. The page limit for full papers is 8 pages,
and that for short papers is 4 pages in standard ACM conference format.
Please see the workshop website for definitive formatting guidelines and
sample templates.
A call for work-in-progress posters and demos will be announced separately.
