Call for Papers -- MadCom 2018

"New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things"

In-conjunction with EWSN 2018 Proceedings appear in ACM Digital Library

February 14, 2018 in Madrid, Spain

https://ewsn2018.networks.imdea.org/madcom.html

Keynote speech: Petri Mähönen, Professor and the head of the Institute for Networked Systems, RWTH Aachen University.

Aim

For the last decades, radio frequency (RF) has been at the core of the revolution enabling wireless communication for the Internet of Things (IoT). But RF communication has been a victim of its own success, and the ever increasing number of devices joining the IoT are saturating the RF bandwidth. We need alternative ways to exploit RF technology and to use other means to transmit data wirelessly. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from different communities to identify and explore novel wireless communication technologies, and debate on and discuss priorities and challenges in the research agenda.

Scope

The workshop will consist of a keynote and presentations of short papers. The short papers can be of a technical nature, presenting preliminary technical results, or position papers presenting a thought-provoking view regarding methods or applications for novel wireless communication technologies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- backscatter communication - visible light communication - magnetic induction communication - terahertz communication - camera-based communication - thermal-based communication - molecular communication - communication through physical vibration - acoustic communication - services piggybacked on wireless communication (e.g. gesture recognition/radar) - mobile RF networks and drone-enabled communication - new platforms - new communication methods with RF signals - new network stacks for novel communication technologies - applications for novel wireless communication method

Please ask the workshop chairs if you are uncertain if your topic fits, david.malone (at) nuim.iehttp://nuim.ie and ccanobs (at) uoc.eduhttp://uoc.edu.

Submission Instructions

Formatting requirements. The papers will be published as part of the conference proceedings and will appear in the ACM Digital Library. We encourage submissions from academia and industry alike. Full papers can have a maximum length of 6 pages (two column format). The workshop also accepts short position papers of a maximum length of two pages in the same format.

Pages must have 8.5" x 11" (letter) two-column format, using 10-point type on 11-point leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with an intercolumn spacing of .25". The page limits include figures, tables, and references. Authors may use the LaTex template ewsn-workshops.tex provided at https://ewsn2018.networks.imdea.org/ewsn-template.zip.

All submitted papers will be judged through single-blind reviewing. Please include author names and affiliations along with the title.

Submission system. Submissions will be handled through EasyChair. Please submit your papers using this https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=madcom2018.
