CALL FOR PAPERS

3rd Workshop on Multihop Wireless Network Testbeds and Experiments

in conjunction with IWCMC 2013

July 1-5, 2013, Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy

http://kunz-pc.sce.carleton.ca/iwcmc2013/TestbedWorkshop.htm





Scope:
======

This workshop, held in conjunction with the International Wireless
Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (http://iwcmc.org/2013/),
July 1-5, 2013 in Italy intends to bring together researchers working
in the broad area of experimental multihop wireless networking such as
MANETs, WSN,
VANETs, Wireless Mesh Networks, etc. While many conferences
and workshops provide a venue to present and discuss protocols or system
architectures in this space, most research work is typically done based
on analytical models and/or extensive simulations. The focus of this
workshop is to serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all
experimental aspects of multihop wireless networks and systems, and
facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. The
workshop values results and insights obtained from working implementations
more highly than those obtained solely from simulations, but papers
explicitly comparing tested results and simulation results are highly
solicited. Submitted papers should be original and previously unpublished.

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:
• Design & evaluation of wireless testbeds, prototypes and platforms
• Validation of existing
simulation models, and results across different
testbeds/evaluation methodologies
• Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments
• Wireless testbed case studies
• Industrial application and integrated innovation
• The use of multihop wireless testbeds in teaching and research
• Integration of diverse and distributed testbed infrastructures, testbed
federations
• Testbed management issues and monitoring support
• Configurable hardware/software platforms for testbeds
• Experimental evaluation of applications and protocols
• Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing
• Integrated tools/toolkits to ease transition between simulation and
deployment
• New measurement methodologies and infrastructures
• Measurement and characterization (modeling) of real-world aspects of
multihop wireless networks such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility
and channel
characteristics
• Innovative measurements methodologies & tools
• Testbed tools for interoperability, benchmarking and traffic measurements

Submission Guidelines:
======================

Authors are invited to submit original papers of up to 6 pages including
figures, tables, and references, in PDF format. Submission implies that at
least one of the authors will register and present the paper at the
conference. Electronic submission is accepted through the EDAS. Prospective
authors are invited to submit original technical papers—up to 6 pages of
length, using the EDAS link: https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=13371
for possible publication in the IWCMC 2013 Conference Proceedings, which
will be included
in IEEE Xplore. Selected papers will be further considered
for possible publication in special issues in the following Journals:

1. Wiley Journal of Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (WCMC)
