Scope
---------
The Extreme Conference on Communication (ExtremeCom) brings together
researchers and practitioners in areas related to communications in
rural and remote environments, in order to gain experience and insight
into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the
users. We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and
economical aspects, for example delay tolerant networks, mesh networks,
sensor networks and other networking paradigms, business and services
models, low power devices and protocols, distributed computing
paradigms, user experiences and web applications.
Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun
Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan
Expedition in Dharamsala, India, and ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon
Expedition in Manaus Brazil, we now offer ExtremeCom 2012 - The Swiss
Alps Winter Expedition. In this first winter edition, we aim to explore
the challenges of the Swiss Alps during winter.
Hosted by the ETH Zurich, the conference will start with 3 days of
snowshoe hike in the Swiss Alps backcountry where the conference
participants will be experimenting with solar-powered experiments.
The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and
user requirements of such an harsh environment, but it will also give
many opportunities for informal research discussions between the
participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios
like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to
test and demonstrate it within this environment.
Upon reaching the end of the "field experience", there will be two days
of paper presentations and demos in a high altitude hut with no
electricity. We will rely on solar-panels to power laptops and beamers.
Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that
the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the
topics in a new light.
