Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library. A selected set of top submissions will be fast-tracked to a special issue in a reputed SCI/E journal.
We only accept PDF files, no greater than 6 pages in length (2 pages for the demos), including text, figures and references. Manuscripts should use the ACM templates (for LaTeX, please use Option 2 files), with 9pt fonts. Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to:
Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of moobile communication systems
Real deployments of networks in extreme environments
Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments
Delay tolerant networking
User experience research
Big data research such as mining and modeling of mobility and social network
Cloud computing for extreme scalability
Mesh networks and sensor networks
Low-power and intermittent-power protocols
Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications
Distributed computing for mobile environments
Networked applications and services
Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking
Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of extreme communications
Underwater networking
Robotic communications and mobile augmented reality
Due to logistics, the number of participants will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers and those who register first.
