The NSF 2018 workshop on underwater wireless communications and networking invites contributions in the form of ten-minute presentations on new ideas and recent results. You are encouraged to present your work in a poster, in addition to the presentation. All participants are invited to contribute to discussions following the presentations. Contributions are sought in the following general areas:
- Theory and concepts: Physical layer (modulation/coding/signal processing/arrays, channel modeling/prediction, receiver feedback/transmitter adaptivity)
- Theory and concepts: Networks (channel sharing under high latency, routing protocols, application-specific system level optimization)
- Implementation: (software-defined acoustics, integration of sensors, next generation platforms)
- Deployments and applications: (Arctic, oil&gas/smart aqua/agriculture, testbeds)
You can participate in the workshop in one of two ways:
Presenters:
We ask you to submit a short abstract that outlines your ideas and results, for your ten-minute presentation and/or poster. Please visit the Abstract submission page to submit. After screening, we will organize your contributions in proper topic categories. Presenters do not need to register online.
Non-presenters:
You can also participate as a non-presenter, by taking part in the discussions. In this case, we ask you to register at the Registration page.
We will provide meals during the two-day workshop at no cost to the participants. Workshop participants can follow the link here to get a special room rate, $229.00 per night, for reservations of their rooms at Crystal City Marriott (workshop venue). We will reimburse participants for their transportation and lodging costs upon request, for the first fifty requests. The reimbursement limit is $800 per request. Presenters are eligible for travel cost reimbursement. Non-presenters need to register online on or prior to Feb 19, 2018 to qualify for travel cost reimbursement.
