Scope of the Workshop
The International Workshop on Distributed, Autonomic and Robust Wireless Networks (DARWiN) aims to gather researchers interested on wireless communications. They will have the opportunity to discuss on ongoing research and new contributions. DARWiN invites interesting contributions in both theoritical (modelisation, algorithmic) and experimental (simulation, emulation, real experimentation) fields. The main application domains are ad hoc networks, sensor networks, mesh networks and vehicular networks, but they can be extended to other types of wireless networks (especially low-resources networks).

Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
- Wireless sensor networks, vehicular ad hoc networks
- Wireless Software-Defined Networking
- MAC, routing and transport protocols
- Resource allocation and management
- Quality of service
- Network scalability and capacity
- Reliability and fault tolerance algorithms
- Security and privacy
- Applications of wireless ad hoc networks
- Performance modeling and analysis
- Tools/platform for designing, implementing and evaluating wireless communication protocols
- Distributed algorithms issues for wireless networks
- Autonomic computing
- Wireless networks optimization
- Secure Services and Protocols
- Indoor/outdoor Positioning methods based on distributed wireless networks
- Smart cities
- Internet of Things

Important dates:
----------------
- Submission deadline: August 27, 2017
- Acceptance/Reject notification: October 3, 2017
- Camera-ready:  October 17, 2017
- Author Registration:  October 19, 2017

Submission and publication:
---------------------------
Each submission should be at most 8 pages in total including bibliography and well-marked appendices, and must follow the IEEE double columns publication format.

All the papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the conference proceedings. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society. Content will be submitted to the indexing companies for possible indexing. They will be available at the conference.

Registration:
-------------
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop. Workshop registration fee is determined by SITIS. A single registration for the workshop or the conference allows attending both events.
