CALL FOR PAPERS AND DEMOS
4th Extreme Conference on Communication - The Alpine Expedition
ExtremeCom 2012
March 10-14, Zurich, Switzerland
http://www.extremecom.org/

*****************************************************************************

Important dates
---------------
Submission deadline: January 7, 2011
Notification of acceptance: January 30, 2012
Registration deadline: March 1, 2012 (early registration before February 15, 2012)

*****************************************************************************

Scope
---------
The Extreme Conference on Communication (ExtremeCom) brings together researchers and practitioners in areas related to communications in rural and remote environments, in order to gain experience and insight into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the users. We welcome a broad range of topics concerning both technical and economical aspects, for example delay tolerant networks and other networking paradigms, business and services models, low power devices and protocols, user experiences and web applications.
Following on from the success of ExtremeCom 2009 - The Midnight Sun Expedition in Laponia, Sweden, ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition in Dharamsala, India, and ExtremeCom 2011 - The Amazon Expedition in Manaus Brazil, we now offer ExtremeCom 2012 - The Swiss Alps Winter Expedition. In this first winter edition, we aim to explore the challenges of the Swiss Alps during winter.
Hosted by the ETH Zurich, the conference will start with 3 days of snowshoe hike in the Swiss Alps backcountry where the conference participants will be experimenting with solar-powered experiments.
The immersion will not only give a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of such an harsh environment, but it will also give many opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants that have their own software for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment.
Upon reaching the end of the "field experience", there will be two days of paper presentations and demos in a high altitude hut with no electricity. We will rely on solar-panels to power laptops and beamers. Focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the field experience will give participants the ability to discuss the topics in a new light.

Submission Guidelines
-------------------------------
Participants should submit 6 page papers about ideas and visions about the topics of the conference or demo proposals to be shown during the conference. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the conference are especially solicited. The aim of the conference is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. We also hope to have a demo session where participants can show their implementations and systems. If you want to show a demo, please submit a 2 page demo proposal using the same submission system as for conference papers. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
Topics for the conference include, but are not limited to:
• Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of DTN systems
• Real deployments of networks in extreme environments
• Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments
• User experience research
• Delay tolerant networking
• Low-power and intermittent-power protocols
• Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications
• Networked applications and services
Due to logistics, the number of participants will be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers and those who register first.
