Although radar and sonar rely on two fundamentally different types of wave
transmission, Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR) and Sound Navigation and
Ranging (SONAR) both are remote sensing systems with important military,
scientific and commercial applications. RADAR sends out electromagnetic
waves, while active SONAR transmits acoustic (i.e., sound) waves. In both
systems, these waves return echoes from certain features or targets that
allow the determination of important properties and attributes of the target
(i.e., shape, size, speed, distance, etc.). Because electromagnetic waves
are strongly attenuated (diminished) in water, RADAR signals are mostly used
for ground or atmospheric observations. Because SONAR signals easily
penetrate water, they are ideal for navigation and measurement under water.
The networking of radars or sonars are two emerging research areas, known as
radar networks and underwater networks. The goal of the Workshop is to
publish the most recent results in the development of radar networks and
underwater networks. Researchers and practitioners working in this area are
expected to take this opportunity to discuss and express their views on the
current trends, challenges, and state of the art solutions addressing
various issues in radar and underwater networks. Review papers on radar
networks and/or underwater networks are also welcome. Topics to be covered
in this Workshop include but are not limited to:

 

*	Waveform design and diversity
*	UWB radar sensor networks
*	Radar networks
*	Interferences analysis
*	Co-existence with other sensor networks
*	Network capacity
*	MIMO radar
*	MIMO sonar
*	Medium Access Control (MAC)
*	Routing
*	Underwater channel modeling
*	Underwater communications
*	Underwater networks
*	Network coverage
*	Energy efficiency
*	Security and privacy
*	Navigation and positioning (localization)
*	Sensor fusion
*	In-network information processing
*	Target detection and tracking
*	Other applications

Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently
under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously
published. Paper length should not exceed 5 pages, but one additional page
will be allowed with additional publication fee. An accepted paper must be
registered before the registration deadline. An accepted paper must be
presented at the workshop. Failure to register before the deadline will
result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop proceedings
and the program. All accepted and presented papers will be included in the
IEEE Globecom proceedings and IEEE digital library. Globecom has the right
to remove an accepted and registered but not presented paper from the IEEE
digital library. Papers should be submitted in a PDF format through
<http://edas.info> EDAS.
