                              xCOM 2013
                 The First International Workshop on
             Communication Systems with Extreme Contexts

                     http://www.ieee-xcom.org/

                          co-located with

   IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC 2013)

                           April 7, 2013
                           Shanghai, China

Aims and Scope
With the advances of the hardware/software capabilities and application
needs, communication systems are used or expected to be used in extreme
situations, such as deep-ground, deep-water, deep-space, or deeply-
embedded systems.  Such extreme scenarios may require transformative
techniques to realize communication systems for them.  For example,
deep-ground applications may need communication systems working in
extremely low frequency channels while the size and the energy
consumption of such systems are challenging factors.  Another example
is that research on satellite communications leads to innovations in
Terahertz communication systems.  There also exists a good amount of
work that focuses on reducing energy consumption of communication
systems to extremely-low levels.

Topics of interest include, but not limited to, wireless communications
systems operating in extremely challenging environments, such as:
- Underground communications in deep earth;
- Underwater communications in deep sea;
- Air-borne communications in deep space;
- Communications in extremely remote areas;
- Communications in extremely low power in highly noisy environments;

and/or requiring new approaches in:
- Spectrum utilization in very/extremely low or high frequencies, e.g.
Terahertz wireless communication and radio resource management;
- System architecture design and realization, e.g. form factor
miniaturization and energy efficiency maximization; and
- Protocol design and system applications.

Call for Papers
The maximum length of papers to be submitted in IEEE paper templates is
 five pages.  Papers must be submitted via the EDAS Paper Processing 
System.
 

Important Dates:
- Paper Submission: October 29, 2012;
- Notification of Acceptance: December 8, 2012;
- Final Paper: January 8, 2013.
