> Apologizes for multiple copies. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Call for Competitors > > 5th Dependability Competition at the > Intl. Conf. on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) > > February 17-19, 2020 - Lyon, France > > http://ewsn2020.conf.citi-lab.fr/competition.html > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Following the success of the previous four editions, the International > Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks will host also > this year a dependability competition to benchmark the performance > of state-of-the-art low-power wireless protocols under the same > settings and in harsh RF environments. > > > ******** SCENARIO AND CATEGORIES ******** > > The competition scenario will emulate the operation of a wireless > sensor network where several co-existing devices are crowding the RF > spectrum. In particular, the messages generated by several source > nodes need to be collected at a single destination in a reliable, > timely, and energy-efficient way despite the presence of interference. > > In contrast to the previous editions, this year's competition will make > use of nRF52840-DK wireless nodes. Contestants are free to use any of > the technologies and physical modes supported by this platform. > > Two categories are planned for this year's edition: > > 1) Single-hop data collection. In this category, up to 20 source nodes > generate raw sensor values of different length, which should be sent to > the same destination. The latter is located in proximity of all source > nodes and can be reached directly, i.e., in normal conditions, the sink > can be reached by every source node within a single hop. > > 2) Multi-hop data collection. In this category, up to 60 source nodes > generate raw sensor values of different length, which should be sent to > the same destination. The latter may be located several hops away from > a source node, even when making use of the coded PHY layers available > on the nRF52. > > A detailed description of the scenario and evaluation procedure can be > found on: http://ewsn2020.conf.citi-lab.fr/competition.html). > > > > ******** FORMAT ******** > > The competition will take place remotely and the final results will be > announced during EWSN 2020 in Lyon. > > Contestants willing to participate to the competition must submit a > short entry abstract describing their solution by the competition entry > deadline. The entry abstracts will be used to pre-select the teams > participating to the competition. > > Accepted contestants will participate to a remote preparation phase > during which they can test and optimize their solution on the competition > infrastructure. At the end of this phase, all contestants will be asked > to provide a single binary file for the final evaluation phase. > > Each competing team will have the possibility to publish a competition > abstract as part of the EWSN proceedings that will appear in the ACM > Digital Library. Furthermore, a poster session dedicated to the > dependability competition will take place during the main conference. > > The winners of each competition's category will be awarded during a > dedicated plenary session of the main conference and will be able to > hold a plenary short presentation about their solution. > > > > ******** ELIGIBILITY ******** > > Both academia and industry submissions are encouraged. Any low-power > wireless protocol is eligible and there is no restriction on the operating > system used to program the sensor nodes, nor on the wireless technology > used. There is also no requirement on the originality of the competing > solutions, which can be based on well-known protocols or previously > published material. The same team can participate in multiple categories. > The EWSN 2020 dependability competition will take place if at least six > teams competing in the same category respond to this preliminary call. > > > > ******** SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ******** > > Contestants must submit a short entry abstract describing their approach > by the competition entry deadline. This entry abstract should prominently > include the name of all members of the team, as well as their affiliation > and contact information. Furthermore, the entry abstract should clearly > state the categories for which the solution is intended. All submissions > will be treated as confidential until the camera-ready deadline. > > Detailed information about the submission instructions can be found on: > http://ewsn2020.conf.citi-lab.fr/competition.html. > > > > ******** IMPORTANT DATES ******** > > - Competition entry deadline: September 27, 2019 (23:59, AoE) > - Notification of acceptance: October 11, 2019 > - Remote preparation phase: from October 28, 2019 to December 19, 2019 > - Submission of the final binary file: December 20, 2019 (23:59, AoE) > - Evaluation phase: from December 21, 2019 to February 16, 2020 > - Camera-ready abstract: December 20, 2019 (23:59, AoE) > - Awards and poster session: February 17-19, 2020 > > > > ******** ORGANIZERS ******** > > - Carlo Alberto Boano and Markus Schuß (TU Graz, Austria) > - Nathalie Mitton (Inria, France) > > > > An extended PDF version of this call for competitors can be found at: > https://tinyurl.com/y6otsd9c. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Our sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of the call > ---------------------------------------------------------------------
