The 21st International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks
(EWSN 2024) -- Abu Dhabi, UAE -- December 10-13, 2024
https://ewsn24.tii.ae/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The International Conference on Embedded Wireless Systems and Networks (EWSN) is a highly selective single-track international conference focusing on the latest research in embedded systems and wireless networking and their role as key enablers for visionary scenarios such as the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems. Building on the past 20 years of success, the conference continues its aim for broad, world-wide impact, and will undertake several important initiatives in its 21st edition.


*** CALL FOR PAPERS (Summer deadline: June 24, 2024) ***

EWSN'24 encourages submissions focusing on the latest research trends in embedded systems and wireless networking, and their role as key enablers for visionary scenarios such as the Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems. The conference welcomes papers focusing on new platforms and software systems that enable sensing, wireless, as well as other embedded applications, and it will also include a feature topic on 'Intelligent and Resilient Networked Embedded Systems'.
Specific topics of interest include (but are not exclusively limited to):
- AI-operated wireless sensing, actuation, and control systems;
- Applications and opportunities for networked embedded systems in developing countries and emerging markets;
- Applications of wireless embedded networks in varied domains (e.g., health, automation, manufacturing, transportation, etc.);
- Architectures and infrastructures for edge-cloud continuum solutions that integrate networked embedded systems;
- Communication and networking for wireless and embedded systems;
- Computing architectures for networked embedded systems;
- Dependability in wireless systems, including reliability, availability, safety, and real-time guarantees;
- Edge intelligence paradigms, models, and techniques for ecosystems of networked embedded systems;
- Empirical studies, measurement, validation, deployment, and experience reports;
- Human-centric interaction with wireless and embedded systems;
- Localization and context-awareness for embedded wireless systems and networks;
- Machine learning and data mining of and for wireless and embedded networks;
- Modeling, simulation, and measurement tools for wireless systems and applications;
- Neuromorphic communication networks;
- Next generation wireless networks, including 6G;
- Operating systems, middleware, and services for networked embedded systems;
- Privacy and security in networked embedded systems and applications;
- Processing, storage, and management of data in embedded wireless networks;
- Programming paradigms, languages, and tools for creating networked embedded systems;
- Services and wireless networking for cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things;
- Sustainability of networked embedded systems (low-power operation, energy harvesting, etc.);
- Sustainability applications of networked embedded systems to broader sustainability challenges.

EWSN 2024 will have two submission deadlines, one in the winter and one in the summer:
- Winter paper submission deadline (extended): February 15, 2024 (AoE)
- Summer paper submission deadline: June 24, 2024 (AoE)
- Notification of reviews: March 25, 2024 / August 12, 2024
- Rebuttal deadline: April 7, 2024 / September 1, 2024
- Notification of acceptance: April 27, 2024 / September 16, 2024
- Camera-ready deadline: May 19, 2024 / October 6, 2024

Decisions will be: accept, reject, or one-shot revision; papers receiving a 'one-shot revision' for the winter deadline will be invited to submit a revised paper by the summer deadline.

EWSN 2024 will adopt a double-anonymous review process and will accept two types of papers: full papers (max 12 pages) and short papers (max 6 pages). Short papers are intended to present preliminary research results or advocate for new research directions. The submission process will take place via HotCRP: https://ewsn24.hotcrp.com/.

All accepted conference and workshop papers, as well as poster, demo, PhD school, and competition abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings.
The proceedings will be indexed in the ACM Digital Library, SCOPUS, and other prominent digital libraries (confirmation pending).

Additional details and the full CfP can be found at: https://ewsn24.tii.ae/calls-submission.html#cfp.


*** NEW THIS YEAR ***

- EWSN will be hosted outside Europe for the third time in its history: the 21st edition will be held in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the UAE.
- Two deadlines: a winter and summer deadline will provide more opportunities and flexibility for the community to submit their papers.
- One-shot revisions: papers receiving a 'one-shot revision' decision for the winter deadline will be invited to submit a revised paper by the summer deadline.
- A PhD School & Community Event will provide a forum in which PhD students and junior Faculty can share their experiences and discuss technical as well as non-technical challenges in an open and supportive way.
- The conference will include several satellite events, including workshops, tutorials, and a sustainability competition focusing on battery-free systems.
- The event will span 3.5 days of technical program (including several keynotes, poster & demo session, and an industrial panel), along with several social activities such as desert excursion as well as a traditional Emirati reception/banquet.
- Several grants for students and women that fully cover both conference fees and hotel costs will be available.
