                      Call for Competitors

              2nd Dependability Competition at the

  Intl. Conf. on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN)

              February 18-19, 2017  -  Uppsala, Sweden

       http://www.ewsn2017.org/dependability-competition.html

Following the success of last year's edition, the International 

Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN 2017) 

will host also this year a dependability competition to compare 

the performance of WSN and IoT communication protocols in 

environments rich of radio interference.

Contestants must first submit an abstract describing their 

approach in detail by the contest registration deadline. 

The authors of the selected abstracts will then be invited to 

participate in a two-days dedicated competition session and asked 

to deploy their software on TelosB replicas deployed in an 

environment with controlled radio interference.

EVALUATION SCENARIO:

The competition rules and evaluation scenario will hence resemble 

the ones of last year's edition. A complete description can be 

found on: http://www.ewsn2017.org/dependability-competition.html

Please notice that, due to several requests, and in order to allow 

the contestants to prepare by testing their protocols on most public 

WSN testbeds, also this year the EWSN dependability competition will 

be carried out using TelosB-like nodes.

CATEGORIES AND PRIZE:

Depending on the nature and number of submissions, multiple

categories may be defined and cash awards will be given to the

winners in each category. Accepted abstract will appear in the

ACM digital library (upon approval of the authors) and the

top-classified contestants in each category will also be invited to

present their approach in a dedicated session at the conference.

ELIGIBILITY

Both academia and industry submissions are encouraged. All

communication protocols used in low-power wireless sensor networks

are welcome, and there is no restriction on the operating system

used to program the sensor nodes.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Contest Registration and Abstract Deadline: November 20, 2016.

Notificaton of acceptance: December 1, 2016.

Competition: February 18-19, 2017.

ORGANIZERS:

Carlo Alberto Boano, TU Graz

Markus Schuss, TU Graz
