WiNTECH 2018 - 12th International Workshop on Wireless Network Testbeds, Experimental evaluation & Characterization (WiNTECH 2018)

ACM WiNTECH workshop is purposely tailored to disseminate research activities related to novel methods and techniques to manage experimental testbeds, innovative wireless communication applications and plat-forms. WiNTECH, which will celebrate its 12th edition this year, stands out as one of the most long-lasting workshops co-located with ACM MobiCom. WiNTECH offers a consolidated experience to academics and industrial practitioners that seek to bridge the gap between fundamental models/algorithms and practical communication systems and experimental platforms. The workshop will serve as a forum for sharing experiences and results with real testbeds, experimental evaluation, prototyping and empirical characterization of wireless technologies.
We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in wireless networking. All submissions will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to the workshop, based on a thorough review process by the Technical Program Committee.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Designing and evaluation of wireless testbeds and prototyping platforms for:
mmWave and Terahertz communications and networking
Long-Range/Low-Power Wide-Area Wireless Networking
Mobile/Wireless Research & Edge / Cloud Computing
Mobile Data Science & Analysis
