For the last 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, 
and 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 identify and explore novel wireless communication 
technologies, and debate on and discuss priorities and challenges in 
the research agenda.

The workshop will consist of a keynote and presentations of research papers. 
The keynote will be given by Xia Zhou, Dartmouth College, USA.
Full papers can have a maximum length of 6 pages.
The workshop also accepts short papers of a maximum length of two pages,
presenting preliminary technical results. The topics of interest include, 
but are not limited to:

backscatter communication
visible light communication
mm-wave communication
magnetic induction communication
terahertz communication
camera-based communication
thermal-based communication
molecular communication
communication through physical vibration
acoustic communication
new platforms
new communication methods with RF signals
new network stacks for novel communication technologies
applications for novel wireless communication methods

topic fits, email: domenico.giustiniano (at) imdea.org
