------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS

ACM WiNTECH 2016 Workshop (in conjunction with MobiCom 2016). Deadline May 29 (Abstract), June 5 (Paper submission)

The 10th ACM International Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental evaluation & CHaracterization (ACM WiNTECH 2016) in conjuntion with ACM MobiCom 2016.

October 3, 2016 -- New York City, US ------------------------------------------------------------------------

We witnessed an increasing demand for high-speed, reliable and ubiquitous mobile wireless networks in recent years. Following this trend, challenging issues to satisfy the growing number of wireless users can be foreseen. Doubtlessly, thorough experimental analyses are of paramount importance to accurately identify the limitations of current technologies and to motivate innovative ideas to solve them. Moreover, realistic empirical evaluations of such a diverse set of solutions, and their mutual interactions, will play a major role to demonstrate their efficiency in everyday denser and more diverse networks, thus shaping future advances in wireless technology. In this context, sharing experiences, methodologies and experimental results is recognized as essential by the mobile and wireless research community.

WiNTECH will bring together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. This workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas and experiences gathered across all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in wireless networking.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.

All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. In order to celebrate the 10th edition of the workshop, one paper from its first five editions (2006-2010) will be selected to receive the Test of Time Award, recognizing its high impact on the experimental wireless networking research. Finally, Cisco Meraki will sponsor the WinCool Demo competition with $500.00 and an MR32 with a 3 year license for the first place prize and then just an MR32 with a 3 year license for the second place prize.

=================================================== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Design and evaluation of wireless testbeds, prototypes and platforms - Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments - Testbed management issues and monitoring support - Experimental evaluation of performance/energy consumption of applications and protocols, including the impact of cross-layer interactions - Large-scale and heterogeneous wireless network evaluations - Approaches for real-world evaluation of mobile networks (LTE, 5G) - Measurement and evaluation on large-scale smartphone based deployments - Studies on real-world white-space networks, interference and spectrum usage measurements - Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing - Measurement and characterization (modeling) of real-world aspects of wireless networks such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility and channel characteristics - Experiences with mmWave communications and networking - IoT, cyber-physical systems, wearable computing - Underwater/underground communications and networking - Practical studies on UAV, multi-robot and vehicular networks - Experimentation with Visible Light Communications (VLC) technology - Software Defined Networking (SDN) for mobile and wireless networks - Security and privacy mechanisms for mobile and wireless networks

=================================================== Important Dates:

- Paper Registration (extended): May 29, 2016, 23:59 EDT - Paper Submission (extended): June 5, 2016, 23:59 EDT - Poster/Demo Submission: June 19, 2016, 23:59 EDT - Acceptance Notification: June 29, 2016 - Camera Ready: July 15, 2016

============================================================ Paper submission instructions

Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than eight (8) pages in length (in two-column, 10-point format) including references, using the same formatting guidelines as the main conference. Papers must include the author name and affiliation for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. 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.

=================================================== 3 Awards: - Best Paper Award for papers accepted in this edition. - Test of Time Award for papers of first five editions 2006-2010 (to celebrate the 10th edition of the workshop). - WinCool Award for best demo sponsored by Cisco Meraki ($500.00 and an MR32 with a 3 year license for the first place prize, an MR32 with a 3 year license for the second place prize).
