==================================================================== MadCom: New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things ==================================================================== CFP link: http://bit.ly/MadCom2016
For the last two decades radio frequency (RF) has been at the core of the revolution enabling wireless communication for the Internet of Things (IoT). But RF communication has been a victim of its own success, the ever increasing number of devices joining the IoT are saturating the RF bandwidth. We need alternative ways to exploit RF technology and to use other means to transmit data wirelessly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities to discuss and explore novel wireless communication technologies for the IoT.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + backscatter communication + visible light communication + magnetic induction communication + infrared communication + laser communication + camera-based communication + thermal-based communication + acoustic communication + applications for novel wireless communication methods + new platforms + theoretical models + new communication methods with RF signals + new network stacks (MAC, Routing) for novel communication technologies

The hardware for networked embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) has evolved significantly over the last decades. During this time two major classes of platforms have emerged for network gathering and processing of sensor data: firstly so called "motes" that are based on a micro controller and well suited for prototyping and testing hypotheses and solutions in the field, and secondly smartphones as ubiquitous and powerful yet mobile communications and computing platforms already adopted by wide population. However, as the number of devices and applications continue growing in numbers and reducing in size, novel, superior platforms should emerge. Let us call these new platforms "NextMote". What will they be, and how to design them?
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + Modular, multi-core, multi-radio, and reconfigurable architectures for NextMote + Devices for novel communication: dense, sparse, and directional coverage + Pushing NextMote towards battery-less operation: energy harvesting, storage, and transfer + Pushing the size of NextMote towards "smart dust", ultra-thin, and stretchable + Unconventional form factors and packaging: wearable, on-body, printable NextMotes + Surviving extreme environments and leaving no trace: bio-degradable, digestible, disposable NextMotes + Robust and redundant design for NextMote health, reliability and self healing + Design, evaluation and profiling tools, and next level testbeds for NextMote + Hardware assisted security and privacy in resource constrained devices + Low-level software, firmware, operating systems for NextMote + Ultra low-cost hardware and deployments at large + Nature inspired (passive) mobility, NextMotes as seeds or pollen
Submission Instructions ==================================================================== The short papers can be of a technical nature, presenting preliminary technical results, or position papers presenting a thought-provoking view regarding methods or applications.
Formatting requirements. The papers will be published as part of the conference proceedings and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. We encourage submissions from academia and industry alike. The papers can have a maximum length of 6 pages (two column format).
Pages must have 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with an intercolumn spacing of .25". The page limits include figures, tables, and references. Authors may use the LaTeX templates provided here: http://bit.ly/ewsn-template2016
Key Dates ==================================================================== Paper submission deadline: November 9, 2015 - 23:59.59 UTC Paper notification: December 7, 2015 - 23:59.59 UTC
