CALL FOR PAPERS

The 12th ACM International Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental evaluation & CHaracterization (ACM WiNTECH 2018)

https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/2018/workshops/wintech/index.html

October 29, 2018 / New Delhi, India

======================================================================

SCOPE

ACM WiNTECH workshop is purposely tailored to disseminate research activities related to novel methods and techniques to manage experimental testbeds, innovative wireless communication applications and plat-forms. WiNTECH, which will celebrate its 12th edition this year, stands out as one of the most long-lasting workshops co-located with ACM MobiCom. WiNTECH offers a consolidated experience to academics and industrial practitioners that seek to bridge the gap between fundamental models/algorithms and practical communication systems and experimental platforms. The workshop will serve as a forum for sharing experiences and results with real testbeds, experimental evaluation, prototyping and empirical characterization of wireless technologies.

We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in wireless networking. All submissions will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to the workshop, based on a thorough review process by the Technical Program Committee.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Designing and evaluation of wireless testbeds and prototyping platforms for: ** mmWave and Terahertz communications and networking ** Long-Range/Low-Power Wide-Area Wireless Networking ** Mobile/Wireless Research & Edge / Cloud Computing ** Mobile Data Science & Analysis ** Mobile Web ** Communications for Embedded and Energy-Harvesting Systems ** Sensing with Radio, Light, Sound, and Vibration ** Emerging PHY implemented on Software defined radio (SDR) ** IoT and wearable computing ** Visible Light Communications (VLC) ** UAV, multi-robot and vehicular networks ** Underwater/underground networks ** Software Defined Networking (SDN) for wireless networks ** Cellular networks (LTE, 5G) ** Innovative protocols on sensor nodes ** Innovative protocols on Wi-Fi nodes ** Other wireless networks, mobile computing, cyber-physical systems

* Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments * Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing * Testbed control and management issues * Evaluation of large-scale and heterogeneous wireless networks * Experimental evaluation of performance/energy consumption of applications and protocols, including the impact of cross-layer interactions * Measurement and evaluation on large-scale smartphone based deployments * Real-world evaluation of cellular networks * Studies on real-world white-space networks, interference and spectrum usage measurements * Coexistence in unlicensed bands, including LTE/WiFi coexistence * Measurement and characterization (modeling) of real-world aspects of wireless networks such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility and channel characteristics * Security and privacy mechanisms for mobile and wireless networks

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Submission instructions can be found on the workshop website https://sigmobile.org/mobicom/2018/workshops/wintech/index.html. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a single PDF file with all font embedded, using the ACM conference proceedings format (use the same PDF formatting guidelines https://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2018/cfp.php as the main conference). Paper length is limited to eight (8) pages (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, figures and everything. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM WiNTECH proceedings and will be archived in the ACM Library. All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award and will be fast-tracked to Elsevier Computer Communications https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-communications/ (COMCOM) journal.
