Communications in Extreme Conditions Workshop (ComExCon) aims to bring together academicians and practitioners in areas related to communications in disaster, remote or other extreme environments and in extreme operating conditions such as dangerous temperatures or radiation levels and critical energy constraints. It will serve as a platform for presenting and discussing in the areas of physical layer design, networking and related topics, facilitating communication system development as well as cooperation among the key players.
Regarding extreme conditions, some examples are,
? Disaster situations, e.g. fires, floods, including post-disaster search and rescue/recovery
? Networks which are deployed in remote and possibly hazardous locations, such as, volcanoes, polluted and radioactive areas
? Situations where wireless interference that may be detrimental/hazardous to the surrounding, such as, ICUs / medical instrumentation, industrial plant
Workshop will be held in beautiful Doha Qatar in conjunction with WCNC 2016 and welcome a broad range of topics including communication system design, mobile computing, low power devices and protocols, delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, distributed computing paradigms, big data, distributed systems, cloud computing and user experience. Researches addressing communication challenges in general mobile environments (even not completely extreme) are also welcomed by the workshop.
Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to:
? Emergency and urgent communication networks
? Chanel measurements and channel modeling for extreme environments
? Mesh networks and sensor networks
? Low-power and intermittent-power protocols
? Underwater networking
? Communications for mining, oil and gas production and transfer networks
? Distributed computing for mobile environments
? Networked applications and services
? Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of mobile communication systems
? Real deployments of networks in extreme environments
? Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of extreme communications
? Robotic communications and mobile augmented reality
