--- CALL FOR POSTERS & DEMOS ---

The International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) is a highly selective single-track international conference focusing on premier research results at the intersection of embedded systems and wireless networking - an area of highest relevance for visionary technologies such as the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems as well as applications such as Industry 4.0, Smart Production, Smart Cities, and Connected Cars.

In addition to full research papers, EWSN solicits submissions of poster and demo abstracts. The poster session at EWSN will provide a forum for researchers to present their work in progress and to receive early feedback from leading experts attending the conference. In parallel to the poster session, the demo session will offer a unique opportunity to showcase real prototypes, tools, and systems to the conference attendees.

--- TOPICS OF INTEREST ---

The areas of interest for both poster and demo abstracts are the same as for full research papers:

-    Embedded wireless networking, from physical to application layers
-    Dependability (real-time, reliability, availability, safety)
-    Sustainability (low-power operation, energy management, energy harvesting)
-    Wireless embedded computing platforms
-    Operating systems, middleware, and services
-    Programming paradigms, languages, and tools
-    Distributed and embedded computing for networked systems
-    Applications, deployment, and management
-    Security
-    Sensing, actuation, and control
-    Networked embedded sensing in robots and drones
-    Mobility, localization, tracking
-    Embedded data management and processing
-    Human-machine interaction
-    Cloud, back-end integration, and analytics

Please ask the poster and demo co-chairs if you are uncertain if your topic fits. 


--- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS AND FORMATTING REQUIREMENTS ---
  
Each submission will be reviewed by members of the poster and demo committee and evaluated based on its quality and potential to stimulate lively discussions during the conference. Accepted poster and demo abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings, which will be available in the ACM Digital Library.

We adopt a single-blind review process for poster and demo abstracts. Please do not anonymize your submission and include name, affiliation, and contact information of all authors on the first page. A short abstract must be provided on the first page before the main body of the paper. Submission titles must start with "Poster: ..." or "Demo: ...", depending on the type of submission. 

Poster and demo abstracts must be submitted as a single PDF containing no more than 2 pages, including figures, tables, and references. Demos must include one additional page describing the setup of the demo (hardware used, space needed, special equipment, etc.). Pages must have 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-­column format, using 10-point font on a minimum 11-point interline spacing. All text must be kept within a print area of at most 7" wide by 9" high, with an inter­column spacing of 0.25". Authors are recommended to use the LaTeX template provided at https://ewsn2018.networks.imdea.org/ewsn-template.zip. Submissions that do not meet these formatting requirements may not be reviewed.

Poster or demo contributions to EWSN 2018 must be submitted via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ewsn2018. We particularly encourage and welcome contributions from students submitting first results and early stage work.
