-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [NewNets 2020] Last Call for Papers - Deadline April 30!!! Datum: Tue, 28 Apr 2020 10:09:31 +0200 Von: oana iova <oana.iova(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: oana iova <oana.iova(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG 2nd Workshop on Emerging Technologies and Trends in Engineering Low-Power Networks (NewNets - co-located with WoWMoM) August 31 - September 3, 2020 - Cork, Ireland https://newnets2020.github.io/ AIMS AND SCOPE A founding pillar of the IoT concept is the availability of low-cost low-power devices with wireless technologies providing sensing, communication, and actuation. In the past decade, the research community have produced proven solutions to build low-power mesh networks. Traditionally, the focus has been on short-range radio communication (e.g., ZigBee, Bluetooth, and ZWave.). An appealing alternative that have gained momentum in the IoT landscape, is to equip the nodes with long-range low power radio modules. As a result, long-range radio communication technologies (e.g., SigFox, LoRa, NB-IoT, and 802.15.4g) are considered as candidate technologies for many low-power wide area network (LPWAN) applications, especially those that require extended coverage such as citywide sensing, environmental monitoring, or remote infrastructure monitoring. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the field of IoT from both academia and industry, to discuss and explore short- and long-range solutions, the tradeoffs between these two paradigms, as well as how they can be used in synergy. In order to push the state of the art, several points need to be addressed: new features for the long-range technologies (i.e., over-the-air updates, roaming), radio resource management, regulations and policies on spectrum usage and sharing, business case analysis that are more well suited for certain vertical markets.
