Scope: Underwater autonomous vehicle and sensor ad hoc networks imply
the deployment of elements over large and remote areas. Multiple
sensing nodes produce information, e.g., seabed or vertical line
hydrophone arrays, magnetometers, moored or surface-float suspended,
and mobile autonomous vehicles. The network elements operate
strategically throughout areas of interest. They need to communicate
with each other, to collect and route data to fusion centres or for
control purposes. Underwater conditions rule out the extensive use of
conventional electromagnetic and cabling communications. Wireless
acoustic communication networks are therefore required.

Topics of interest for this workshop include (but are not limited to):

* Modem and signalling protocol analysis, design and implementation
* Channel modelling and simulation
* Communication techniques and protocols (physical, data link and network)
* Medium access control
* Experimental results
* Routing algorithms
* Topology control
* Network management
* Detection, localization, classification and tracking of objects
of interest in the underwater environment
* Model of serviceable coverage ranges
* Data trustworthiness and data provenance
* Detection of counterfeit sensor outputs
