Call for Papers
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 2017 edition of EWSN is dependability in systems such as Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, industrial wireless control networks, smart vehicles, and robots. We specifically welcome contributions that aim at making these systems more reliable, predictable, safe, and secure to enable critical applications that require guaranteed performance. Topics not related to dependability are equally welcome as long as they fall into scope of the conference, as described below.
The conference solicits both full technical papers, and short papers describing validated early ideas. As it happened for EWSN 2016, we plan to make the proceedings appear in the ACM digital library. New this year is that a specialized committee will select a subset of the papers appearing at the conference to be fast-tracked to ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks.

Topics of Interest
EWSN 2017 welcomes contributions describing original ideas, promising new concepts, and practical experiences (experimental validation, rebuttal, and/or comparison of existing approaches) in all relevant areas of networked embedded systems such as Internet of Things, Cyber-Physical Systems, and Wireless Sensor Networks and their applications in domains such as Smart Cities, Industry 4.0 and Smart Factories, Smart Cars, and Smart Health. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Dependability (real-time, reliability, availability, safety, security)
- Embedded wireless networking from physical to application layer
- Wireless embedded computing platforms
- Operating systems, middleware, and services
- Programming paradigms, languages, and tools
- Distributed and embedded computing for networked systems
- Applications, deployment, management, and debugging
- Sensing and actuation
- Networked embedded sensing in robots and drones
- Mobility, localization, tracking
- Embedded data management and processing
- Interaction with humans
- Cloud, back-end integration, and analytics
Submission Instructions
EWSN 2017 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. 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. Papers that do not meet the size, formatting, and anonymization requirements may not be reviewed.
Formatting requirements. Full paper submissions must have at least 8 and at most 12 pages. Short paper submissions must have at least 4 and at most 6 pages. 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 inter-column spacing of .25". The page limits include figures, tables, and references. Authors may use the LaTex templates provided here.
Submission. Paper registration is closed
