ACM WiNTECH 2014

The 9th ACM International Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental Evaluation and Characterization

In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2014 Maui, Hawaii, September 7th, 2014

http://wintech.eng.buffalo.edu

We witnessed an increasing demand for high-speed, reliable and ubiquitous mobile wireless networks in recent years. Following this trend, many new challenges arise and need to be overcome to satisfy the growing number of wireless users. Doubtlessly, thorough experimental evaluation and analysis of wireless networking protocols and applications will increasingly be needed to identify the limitations of current technologies and to motivate innovative ideas to go beyond the state of the art. 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 networks, thus shaping future advances in wireless technology.

================ CALL FOR PAPERS ================

WiNTECH aims at bringing together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. The 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 We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in wireless networking.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.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Design and evaluation of wireless testbeds, prototypes and platforms - Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments - Hybrid experimentation approaches combining use of multiple evaluation methodologies - Integration of diverse and distributed testbed infrastructures - Testbed management issues and monitoring support - Wireless testbed case studies - Experimental evaluation 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 - Measurement and evaluation on large-scale smartphone based deployments - Studies on real-world white-space networks - Evaluation environments for sensor and satellite networks - Implementation approaches to ease transition between different evaluation methodologies - New measurement methodologies and infrastructures - 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 - Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different testbeds/evaluation methodologies - Testbeds and experiments in challenged wireless environments (e.g., underwater, underground)

All regular workshop paper submissions will be handled electronically via the HotCRP system and should conform to the following requirements: 1. A maximum of 8 (eight) 8.5" x 11" pages (including figures, tables, and references). 2. The paper must be in two-column format, using 10-point font size or greater and reasonable margins. 3. The paper must be submitted in PDF format.

Please submit papers by the May 30, 2014 deadline at the paper submission site: http://wintech14-submissions.cs.ucl.ac.uk
