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.
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.
Registration:
-------------
The registration fee is 800 EUR. This fee includes round-trip transport
between Reykjavik and the conference location, accommodation during the
conference, all meals during the conference, as well as all technical
sessions.
Program outline:
----------------
Participants are required to arrive in Iceland on August 23, as we will
leave from Reykjavik early in the morning on August 24. More details
about the exact meeting point and exact time will be provided later on
the workshop web page.
On the Saturday, August 24, participants will leave from Reykjavik early
in the morning, drive to Skgar. They will visit the Volcano Center,
walk on the glacier, and stay ovenight in Skgar. On Sunday, August 25,
participants will set out in the morning for a hike on the Fimmvruhls
trail, then will arrive in Bsar and spend the night there. On Monday,
August 26, they will hike in rsmrk (from Bsar to Volcano Huts), will
stay overnight in Volcano Huts and enjoy hot springs.Finally, the
technical sessions will take place in Volcano Huts from Tuesday 27th
August in the morning, until Thursday 29th August, when we will drive
back to Reykjavik in the afternoon.
