**** PAPER REGISTRATION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 6, 2017 ******* **** FULL MANUSCRIPT DUE: SEPTEMBER 11, 2017 *******

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Cities, and Connected Cars.

The featured topic of the 2018 edition of EWSN is "Sustainable Embedded Wireless Systems", with contributions that aim to contain the energy cost and the carbon footprint of embedded wireless systems. This builds on top of the successful EWSN 2016 and EWSN 2017 editions featuring the topic of "Dependability". Sustainable embedded wireless systems will operate on top of reliable, safe, and secure systems studied in past editions. Topics such as energy-efficient wireless networking tech- nologies and architectures, backscatter communication, adaptation of embedded systems supplied by variable renewable energy sources, wireless power transfer as well as application of embedded wireless systems to increase the energy efficiency of smart homes, smart buildings, and smart cities are welcome. Topics not related to "Sustainable Embedded Wireless Systems" are equally welcome as long as they fall into the scope of the conference, as described below. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Embedded wireless networking, from physical to application layers - Dependability (real-time, reliability, availability, safety) - Sustainability (low-power operation, energy management, energy har- vesting) - Wireless embedded computing platforms - Operating systems, middleware, and services - Programming paradigms, languages, and tools - Distributed and embedded computing for networked systems - Applications, deployment, and management - Security - Sensing, actuation, and control - Networked embedded sensing in robots and drones - Mobility, localization, tracking - Embedded data management and processing - Human-machine interaction - Cloud, back-end integration, and analytics

AWARDS AND EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Papers presented at the Conference will be considered for a Best Paper Award, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Simulation (TCSIM). Papers of particular merit will be selected to be fast-tracked to ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks.

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EWSN 2018 is a highly selective conference. We will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by any other conference or journal. The conference solicits both full technical papers, and short papers describing validated early ideas. We will adopt a double-blind review process, where the names of authors and their affiliations are unknown to reviewers until the end of the review process. We will also provide authors the possibility of a rebuttal before final decisions are made. Authors must make a good faith effort to anonymize their submissions such that the author identities are not disclosed to the reviewers. You can find detailed submission instructions at: https://ewsn2018.networks.imdea.org/call-for-papers.html

************************************************************************ *Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend * *the conference and present the paper. Accepted papers will be included* *in the proceedings of EWSN 2018 and indexed in the ACM digital library* ************************************************************************

IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Paper registration: September 6, 2017 - Paper submission: September 11, 2017 - Authors rebuttal deadline: November 13, 2017 - Notification of acceptance: December 1, 2017 WORKSHOPS AND AFFILIATED EVENTS: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EWSN 2018 will also host a competition, two workshops, and a Poster and Demo Session.
