----------------------------------------------------------------------------- International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN'21)

https://ewsn2021.ewi.tudelft.nl/

Delft, The Netherlands. February 17-19, 2021 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

*** Call for PhD Forum Contributions ***

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 Agriculture, Smart Cities, and Connected Cars.

As part of the conference program, the PhD forum at EWSN 2021 provides an opportunity for PhD students to present their work-in-progress to the scientific community and to obtain feedback from leading researchers in the field.

The PhD forum will be structured as a series of presentations by the students, followed by a discussion with experts in the field to obtain individual feedback and advice. In addition, a poster session will provide an opportunity for more technical, in-depth discussions. The expert panelists will also share their experience and advice on how to carry out a successful PhD and start a career as a researcher.

Current PhD students in all stages of their career are encouraged to submit a 2-page abstract about their ongoing research to be considered for the PhD forum. The abstract shall also include a one-paragraph bio, along with brief information on how long the student has been enrolled in the PhD program and the expected time until graduation. The student should be the sole author, although contributions of the adviser and others should be acknowledged.

Submissions will be reviewed by the PhD forum committee to ensure quality, relevance, and potential benefit from attendance to the forum. All accepted submissions will be published as part of the main conference proceedings. Authors of accepted submissions are expected to participate in the forum on 17 February 2021 and to present a poster both at the forum and at the main conference. There will be no separate registration fee for the PhD forum; that is, participating students will only need to register to the main EWSN conference. For any questions, please contact the PhD forum co-chair Akshay Nambi (akshayn@microsoft.com) or Marco Zimmerling (marco.zimmerling@tu-dresden.de).

*** Topics of Interest ***

The areas of interest for the PhD forum are the same as for full research papers:

- Communication and networking for wireless and embedded systems - Sensing, actuation, and control - Operating systems, middleware, and services - Processing, storage, and management of data - Programming paradigms, languages, and tools - Time and location management - Dependability (real-time, reliability, availability, safety) - Privacy and security in applications and systems - Human-machine interaction with wireless and embedded systems - Design and implementation of real-world applications and systems - Measurement studies and deployment experiences - Green IoT (low-power, harvesting, energy management) - Challenges of ultra-dense networks - Heterogeneous networks - Applications and problems from developing countries and emerging markets

Feel free to ask the PhD forum co-chairs if you are uncertain about the fit of your topic.
