The work-in-progress poster session will provide a forum for researchers to showcase new and emerging work and obtain feedback on ongoing research from workshop attendees. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Underwater network architectures
• Efficient underwater communications, with techniques from physical to application layers
• Cooperative underwater communications, including, PHY, MAC, routing, and data transfer
• Services for underwater systems, such as localization, time synchronization, reliable data transfer, and security
• Communicating underwater vehicles (gliders, submersibles, etc.)
• Coordination algorithms for underwater vehicles and sensor nodes
• Modeling, simulation, and testbeds for underwater systems
• Applications of underwater sensing and actuation
• Deployment experiences of underwater systems and testbeds

Please print your posters in advance. Foam boards (36" x 48" x 1/2") will be provided which can hold up to A0 size posters. The poster layout is usually portrait.
