WUWNET 2016 - 11th ACM International Conference on Underwater Networks & Systems

The conference will span three 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 relevant to underwater networks and network-related signal processing, communications, systems, and applications. 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.
Networked underwater robotics and systems, such as localization, navigation, security, communication & coordination, 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
