CALL FOR PAPERS
In recent years, some wireless technologies (e.g., WiFi, sensor
networks) have matured to the point of finding wide acceptance in the
real-world and leading to many new and interesting applications.
At the same time, several new networking and radio technologies (e.g.,
dynamic spectrum access, UWB) are emerging to address the performance
limitations of existing technologies and make wireless networking more
ubiquitous. Realistic evaluation of such diverse set of technologies
and their mutual interactions will play a major role in identifying
the key performance bottlenecks, thus shape future advances in
wireless technology. The importance of testbed-based evaluation of
wireless network protocols/applications as well as characterization of
real world aspects using traces from operational networks is gaining
wider recognition in the mobile and wireless networking research
community.
WiNTECH intends to bring together researchers working in the broad
area of experimental wireless networking. WiNTECH will serve as a
forum to share new ideas/experiences in 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previously unpublished papers addressing experimental wireless
networking issues. 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
- Evaluation environments for sensor and satellite networks
- Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing
- Implementation approaches to ease transition between different
evaluation methodologies
- New measurement methodologies and infrastructures
- Measurement and characterization (modeling) of real-world aspects
of wireless
- Networks such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility and channel
characteristics
- Interference and spectrum usage measurements
- Validation of existing simulation models, and results across
different testbeds/evaluation methodologies
- Software tools in support of measurements, trace/data collection and
management
Apart from regular paper presentations, the workshop program will
include an interactive session with demos and posters.
We welcome demonstrations of novel wireless network testbed capabilities
and measurement results. The posters may describe work in progress and
offers an excellent opportunity for feedback and discussions on early
research.
DEMO COMPETITION: WINCOOL (aka the Next Big Thing in Wireless)
This year, we are challenging the community to show us their latest,
coolest, chair-rocking and mind-blowing innovation in an operational
demonstration. Go beyond the theoretical limitations and shed off
the numerous assumptions about wireless system and present an
operational
prototype that has the potential to revolutionize wireless networking.
Innovations can be at any layer, from physical to application. However,
we particularly encourage innovations that span over multiple layers.
The innovations must have wireless networking as its key topic.
The demo must be presented live, i.e. a presentation of a demo
(powerpoint,
video, etc) only is not allowed. Also, we emphasize that the demo
contest is not a forum to display commercial products. The demo contest
will be judged by a panel from industry and academia based on the
technical
merit and relevance to the workshop.
CALL FOR POSTERS
WiNTECH 2008 is seeking proposals for posters describing novel work in
wireless network testbeds, measurements and characterizations. The
areas of interest are the same as those listed in the technical call for
papers. The posters may describe work in progress and offers an
excellent
opportunity for feedback and discussions on early research.
All submissions will be reviewed by the technical program committee
and will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to workshop.
The extended abstract of the accepted posters will be published in the
workshop proceedings and will be available at the ACM digital library.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Paper submission instructions:
All regular paper submissions will be handled electronically via the
EDAS system (http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7747) and should
conform
to the following requirements:
- A maximum of 8 (eight) 8.5"x11" pages (including figures, tables,
and references)
- The paper must be in two-column format, using 10-point size or
greater and reasonable margins
- the paper must be submitted in PDF format
Poster/Demo submission instructions:
Poster/Demo submissions will be handled by emailing the writeup to
WiNTECH09 (at) winlab (dot) rutgers (dot) edu with the following
requirements:
- A maximum of TWO 8.5"x11" pages (including figures, tables, and
references)
- The write-up must be in two-column format, using 10-point size or
greater and reasonable margins and must use PDF format
- For demos, a third page should be included that lists the
requirements for the demo at the workshop
venue if the demo is selected.
