Med-Hoc-Net 2018 - Call For Papers

17th Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop

20-22 June 2018 Capri, Italy

http://medhocnet18.cnit.it/

In recent years the Internet evolution has undergone a remarkable and unstoppable change of trend, rooted on three main pillars: New technologies (cloud computing, SDN, NFV, etc.), broad connectivity (4G/5G, VANET, FANET, etc.), and the wide deployment of smart edge devices (smart phones, sensors, wearables, etc.), all setting the main concept for the Internet of Things (IoT) and encompassing scenarios such as smart cities, ITS (intelligent transportation systems), smart grid, smart homes, or e-health.

Med-Hoc-Net 2018 extends its focus far beyond traditional networking concepts, highlighting new concepts related to the mentioned three main pillars developed for the future generation of network and cloud computing technologies. Med-Hoc-Net 2018 will accommodate contributions on smart mobile scenarios, focusing on highly relevant developments but also preliminary ideas and concepts in the ICT area, aiming at facilitating the development of new technologies and services with a high societal impact.

Following successful workshops at Sardinia Island (2002), Mahdia (2003), Bodrum (2004), Porquerolles Island (2005), Lipari Island (2006), Corfu Island (2007), Mallorca Island (2008), Haifa (2009), Juan-Les-Pins (2010), Favignana Island (2011), Ayia Napa (2012), Corsica Island (2013), Piran (2014), the Algarve (2015), Barcelona (2016), and Budva (2017), Med-Hoc-Net 2018 will take place on the island of Capri, Italy, in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea.

Topics of interest revolve around ad hoc and mesh networks; for example: * MAC, routing and transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks * Wireless sensor networking: Technologies, protocols, etc. * Vehicular networks * Smart grid networks * Cognitive radio networks * Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks * Implementations, testbeds, and field tests * Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc.) * Quality of Service * Optimization models and algorithms * Energy-efficient networking * Security and privacy * Localization and tracking in wireless networks * Novel communication techniques * Visible light communication (VLC) * Software defined networking (SDN) * Participatory and urban networks * Underwater wireless networks * UAVs and Flying ad hoc networks (FANETs) * Green networking

Manuscript submissions ----------------------

Submissions should be original, previously unpublished work not currently under review for publication elsewhere.

All paper submissions must be written in English and must be formatted in standard IEEE 2-column format. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format can be found at the IEEE templates page. Only Adobe PDF files will be accepted for the review process. All submissions must be made electronically using EDAS and strictly adhere to the respective page limit when typeset–including figures, tables, and references. Submissions that are not received by the stated deadlines or that do not conform to these rules will not be accepted, nor reviewed at all. We are providing a sample paper for download; please use this as a guide.

The EDAS link to upload papers will be published on http://medhocnet18.cnit.it/

Note that we will consider two different categories of papers: - Full papers should describe novel research contributions and are limited in length to eight (8) printed pages. - Short papers should be more visionary in nature and may report on work in progress without completed results. They are meant to present novel perspectives, so as to foster discussion about innovative directions and new points of view. They are limited to at most four (4) pages, but might in many cases be even shorter. Accepted short papers will be included in the proceedings and there will be given (a shorter) time for oral presentation at the workshop.

Please note that the full paper and short paper categories target different kinds of contributions. Papers submitted to a category will NOT be moved to a different category: A paper will either be accepted for the category where it has been submitted, or it will be rejected. Full papers will not be “downgraded” to short papers. Therefore, please be sure to carefully assess for yourself prior to submission which is the most suitable submission category for your paper, and to make sure that the presentation in the manuscript is well suited to the aims of this category.

No-show policy --------------

Submission to the workshop implies willingness to present. No-shows will be excluded from the proceedings. No-show papers are defined as papers submitted by authors who subsequently did not present the paper in-person (no videos, no remote cast) at the technical meeting. Presentations by proxies are not allowed. No refund of the paid fees can be claimed by the no-show author. Exceptions to this policy can only be made by the Technical Program Chairs of the workshop and only if there is evidence that the no-show occurred because of unanticipated events beyond the control of the authors, and every option available to the authors to present the paper was exhausted.

Important Dates for Attendees & Authors ---------------------------------------

* Paper submission deadline: Fri, 9 February 2018 * Author notifications sent: Fri, 13 April 2018 * Camera-ready papers due: Fri, 4 May 2018 * Workshop starts: Fri, 20 June 2018
