XtremeSys 2017 - First ACM International Workshop on Wireless Sensing Systems for Extreme Conditions (XtremeSys 2017)

Conventional wireless sensor networks are slowly but surely transforming into the Internet of Things (IoT). The capability of sensing and communication in extreme operating conditions and environments is one of the last frontiers yet to be conquered to enable a wider variety of machine-machine and large-scale sensing and communication systems in realistic settings for applications in smart cities and smart industry. Examples of extreme conditions faced by real applications of smart sensing and communication include, but are not limited to, deep underground, deep underwater, in presence of extreme dynamic geometry, high-speed vibrating equipment, energy constraints, extremely large-scale systems, extreme data quantities, and extreme noise. This workshop is an initiative to allow better understanding and solving the daunting challenges those extreme conditions and environments pose for sensing, communication, and entire system operation.
