Dear Colleagues,
We are very pleased to announce that the *1st IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Communications and Networking in Extreme Environments (IEEE WCNEE) *will be held on *May 1, 2017*, in Atlanta, GA, USA (with *IEEE INFOCOM 2017*). The workshop website is available at http://infocom2017.ieee-infocom.org/workshop/wcnee- wireless-communications-and-networking-extreme-environments
--------------------------------------------------- *Scope and Topics of Interest* ---------------------------------------------------
Extreme communication environments such as underwater, underground, and intrabody have been attracting growing interest from both academia and industry in an effort to conquer the last wireless communications frontiers. Novel wireless communication architectures and networking protocols for extreme communication environments enable a rich body of applications with unprecedented societal impact.
The goal of the workshop is to unveil the latest wireless technology developments, from the physical layer all the way to the application layer in realizing underwater, underground, and intrabody communication networks with a focus on bridging the gaps between theory, algorithms, and practical system implementations.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- *Communications and Networking Protocols* - Energy efficient protocols and routing techniques - Cognitive networking - Cooperative communications - Cross-layer protocol designs - Multiple-access and medium access control and sharing - Low-power wireless communications - Ad-hoc, mesh, and linear sensor networks - Distributed sensing
- *Systems and Applications* - Modeling, simulation, and experimental studies - Tools, testbeds, and deployment issues - Software defined systems and testbed designs - Transceiver designs - Internet of (underwater, underground, and intrabody) things - Autonomous mobile or static (implantable in a living tissue or in a reservoir) transceiver and system designs - Health and environmental concerns for next-generation applications - Future arising challenges
- *Signal Processing and Channel Modeling* - Signal models - Sensor-array processing - Physical layer communication schemes - Modulation and coding techniques - Receiver design - Signal filtering and detection - Signal propagation and attenuation models (absorption, scattering, fading, multipath) - Measurement and characterization (modeling) of real-world aspects of wireless (underwater, intrabody, underground) networks
--------------------------------------------------- *Submission Instructions* ---------------------------------------------------
Manuscripts must be limited to *6 pages* in IEEE 8.5x11 format. Accepted papers will be published in the combined INFOCOM 2017 Workshop proceedings and will be submitted to IEEE Xplore. Submitted papers may not have been previously published in or under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The reviews will be single blind. Manuscripts should be submitted as PDF files via EDAS.
--------------------------------------------------- *Important Dates* ---------------------------------------------------
Submission Deadline: *January 10th, 2017* Author Notification: February 22nd, 2017 Final Manuscript Due: March 12th, 2017
