ACM WiNTECH 2014

The 9th ACM International Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, 
Experimental Evaluation and Characterization

In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2014
Maui, Hawaii, September 7th, 2014

http://wintech.eng.buffalo.edu

We witnessed an increasing demand for high-speed, reliable and 
ubiquitous mobile wireless networks in recent years. Following this 
trend, many new challenges arise and need to be overcome to satisfy the 
growing number of wireless users. Doubtlessly, thorough experimental 
evaluation and analysis of wireless networking protocols and 
applications will increasingly be  needed to identify the limitations of 
current technologies and to motivate innovative ideas to go beyond the 
state of the art. Moreover, realistic empirical evaluations of such a 
diverse set of solutions, and their mutual
interactions, will play a 
major role to demonstrate their efficiency in everyday denser networks, 
thus shaping future advances in wireless technology.

CALL FOR PAPERS
================

WiNTECH aims at bringing together researchers working in the broad area 
of experimental wireless networking. The workshop will serve as a forum 
to share new ideas and experiences gathered across all experimental 
aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of 
key unresolved challenges in this area. We are seeking original, 
previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and 
challenges in wireless networking. All submissions will be judged by 
their technical merit and relevance to the workshop, based on a thorough 
review process by the Technical Program Committee.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Design and
evaluation of wireless testbeds, prototypes and platforms
- Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments
- Hybrid experimentation approaches combining use of multiple evaluation 
methodologies
- Integration of diverse and distributed testbed infrastructures
- Testbed management issues and monitoring support
- Wireless testbed case studies
- Experimental evaluation of applications and protocols, including the 
impact of cross-layer interactions
- Large-scale and heterogeneous wireless network evaluations
- Approaches for real-world evaluation of mobile networks
- Measurement and evaluation on large-scale smartphone based deployments
- Studies on real-world white-space networks
- Evaluation environments for sensor and satellite networks
- Implementation approaches to ease transition between different 
evaluation methodologies
- New measurement methodologies and infrastructures
- Interference
and spectrum usage measurements
- Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing
- Measurement and characterization (modeling) of real-world aspects of 
wireless networks such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility and channel 
characteristics
- Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different 
testbeds/evaluation methodologies
- Testbeds and experiments in challenged wireless environments (e.g., 
underwater, underground)



All regular workshop paper submissions will be handled electronically 
via the HotCRP system and should conform to the following requirements:
1. A maximum of 8 (eight) 8.5" x 11" pages (including figures, tables, 
and references).
2. The paper must be in two-column format, using 10-point font size or 
greater and reasonable margins.
3. The paper must be submitted in PDF format.

Please submit papers by the May 30, 2014 deadline
