MadCom: New Wireless Communication Paradigms for the Internet of Things
The workshop is hosted by the International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN)
February 20, 2017
February 20, 2017
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
- mm-wave communication
- magnetic induction communication
- terahertz communication
- camera-based communication
- thermal-based communication
- molecular communication
- communication through physical vibration
- acoustic communication
- new platforms
- new communication methods with RF signals
- new network stacks for novel communication technologies
- applications for novel wireless communication method
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 here.
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 link.
