WUWNet12: The 7th ACM International Conference on Underwater Networks and 
Systems

http://wuwnet.org/

November 5-6, 2012

Los Angeles, California, USA

Note that we are now The International Conference on Underwater Networks and 
Systems, but we are still WUWNet.

- CALL FOR PAPERS

The oceans cover 71% of the Earth's surface and represent one of the least 
explored frontiers; yet, the oceans are integral to climate regulation, 
nutrient production, oil retrieval, and transportation. Also, water systems in 
general are of vital importance to life on Earth and commerce. For these 
reasons, there is significant interest in monitoring aquatic environments for 
scientific, environmental, commercial, safety, and military purposes.  

WUWNet is the premier venue for research and development bringing real-time, 
in-situ sensing and actuation to this aquatic world. The goal of this 
conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas relevant 
to underwater networks and systems. Thus, many aspects of the networking 
protocol stack - from the physical layer to the application layer and the 
various system issues - will be represented at this conference. The objective 
is to serve as a forum for presenting state-of-the-art research and 
development, for exchanging ideas and experiences, and for facilitating 
interactions and collaborations.

The conference will span two days, including presentations of keynote speeches, 
plenary talks, technical papers, and posters/demos. The scope of the WUWNet 
conference covers a broad range of research directions related to underwater 
systems including communications, networking, system integration, and vehicle 
coordination. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Underwater network and system architectures

- Efficient underwater communications (including acoustic, optical, RF, and 
wired, etc.), with techniques from the physical layer to the application layer

- Underwater acoustic modeling and signal processing

- Cooperative underwater communications, including, PHY, MAC, routing, and data 
transfer, etc. 

- Services for underwater systems, such as localization, synchronization, 
navigation, security, etc.

- Communication & coordination for underwater vehicles and sensor nodes, or 
human operator interaction

- Coordinated energy harvesting systems and power systems for underwater 
networks and systems

- Energy-efficient algorithms, and protocol design for underwater networks, as 
well as signal/image processing and communication systems

- Operating system and middleware support for underwater networks and systems

- Applications that broadly address underwater networks and systems, including 
coordinated underwater vehicles

- Modeling, simulation, and testbeds for underwater systems and platforms

- Experimental results from underwater networking, signal/image processing and 
communications field trials

- Application requirements for underwater networks, signal/image processing and 
communication systems presented by end users


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions for technical papers must describe original research, not published 
or currently under review for other workshops, conferences, journals, or 
magazines.

All papers will be reviewed by the program committee for novelty and 
contribution. The workshop accepts full and short papers. Short papers may 
represent less mature work than full papers, or may contain new ideas for 
future research. Full papers should be more complete in their treatment of the 
topic. Paper submission will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare 
a PDF version of their papers. The page limit for full papers is 8 pages, and 
that for short papers is 5 pages in standard ACM conference format.

In addition, 2-page extended abstracts (in standard ACM conference format) can 
be submitted describing interesting intermediate results of undergoing 
research, promising progresses, educational overview on the state of the art in 
this field, and insightful analysis of the historical or futuristic 
developments on various topics.
Please see the conference website for definitive formatting guidelines and 
sample templates. All accepted papers and extended abstracts are subject to the 
deadlines specified below and will be included in the conference proceedings.
