                        Call for Competitors

                  Dependability Competition at the
   Intl. Conf. on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN)

                February 14-15, 2016 in Graz, Austria

                     www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016


This year's International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems
and Networks (EWSN 2016) will host a dependability competition
that aims to compare the performance of WSN and IoT communication
protocols in environments rich with 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 be invited to participate in a two-days
dedicated competition session and asked to deploy their software
on several TelosB replicas spread in an environment with controlled
radio inteference.

Solutions will be evaluated based on the reliability of
transmissions, the end-to-end latency, and the energy-efficiency.
A detailed description of the evaluation scenario and metrics can
be found at http://www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016/cms/index.php?id=8.

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:
Abstract submission deadline: October 7, 2015 (EXTENDED)
Notificaton of acceptance: October 21, 2015
