Preliminary Call for Competitors

2nd Dependability Competition at the Intl. Conf. on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN)

February 18-19, 2017 in Uppsala, Sweden

http://www.ewsn2017.org/

Following the success of last year's edition, the International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN 2017) will host also this year a dependability competition to compare the performance of WSN and IoT communication protocols in environments rich of radio interference.

The competition rules and evaluation scenario will resemble the ones of last year's edition (for further information please visit http://www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016/cms/index.php?id=8 http://www.iti.tugraz.at/EWSN2016/cms/index.php?id=8). Contestants must first submit an abstract describing their approach in detail by the contest registration deadline. The authors of the selected abstracts will be invited to participate in a two-days dedicated competition session and asked to deploy their software on Zolertia Z1 nodes deployed in an environment with controlled radio interference. Solutions will be evaluated based on the reliability of transmissions, the end-to-end latency, and the energy-efficiency. A complete description of this year's evaluation scenario will be published on September 15, 2016. CATEGORIES AND PRIZE: Depending on the nature and number of submissions, multiple categories may be defined and cash awards will be given to the winners in each category. Accepted abstract will appear in the ACM digital library (upon approval of the authors) and the top-classified contestants in each category will also be invited to present their approach in a dedicated session at the conference.

ELIGIBILITY: Both academia and industry submissions are encouraged. All communication protocols used in low-power wireless sensor networks are welcome, and there is no restriction on the operating system used to program the sensor nodes.

IMPORTANT DATES: Contest Registration and Abstract Deadline: November 20, 2016 Notification of acceptance: December 1, 2016 Competition: February 18-19, 2017
