Scope
---------
The Extreme Conference on Communication (ExtremeCom) brings together
researchers and practitioners in areas related to communications in
rural, remote or other extreme 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 wireless
communication, mobile computing, low power devices and protocols, delay
tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, distributed computing
paradigms, business and services models, user experiences and web
applications. Researches addressing computing challenges in general
mobile environments (even not completely extreme) are also welcomed by
the conference.
Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun
Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan
Expedition in Dharamsala, India, ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition
in Manaus Brazil, ExtremeCom 2012 - The Alpine Expedition, we now offer
ExtremeCom 2013 The Volcanic Expedition in the Eyjafjallajkull
Volcano region Iceland. The conference will start with 3-4 days of
hiking in the volcanic landscape of Iceland, leading up to the
Eyjafjallajkull Volcano. Along the way, participants will get to see
and experience breathtaking views over a harsh landscape and understand
the challenges involved in networking in this region. 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 hike, there will
be two days of paper presentations and demos. 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.
Submission Guidelines
-------------------------------
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.
Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to:
Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of mobile communication
systems
Real deployments of networks in extreme environments
Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other
challenging environments
User experience research
Delay tolerant networking
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
Mining and modeling of mobility and social network
Due to logistics, the number of participants will be limited. Priority
will be given to authors of papers and those who register first.
