WSensing 2023

Call for papers

Current wireless sensing networks are widely used in a range of applications, such as agriculture, healthcare, and smart cities. The evolution of new physical and virtual wireless networks brings new challenges with the emergence of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) and Cyber Human Systems (CHS), especially in the context of the industry 4.0 and 5.0 leverage, including environmental, power and motion monitoring. Such solutions generate massive amounts of different types of data through the sensing provided by the various systems, which need to be transmitted over the networks and their integrations, many of which support real-time decisions under dense environments. In this context, these systems need to be reliable and provide security and privacy in their services throughout all the parts that make up the resilient networks.

The WSensing Workshop aims to bring together leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry, to advance the state-of-the-art and to identify open challenges on Security, Privacy and Reliability in the range of the Wireless Sensing Networks.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Wireless Networks:

• Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)

• Internet of Things (IoT)

• Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET)

• Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

• Mobile Networks

• Opportunistic Networks

• Mobile Edge Computing

• 5G e B5G Networks and Services

Technicals/Approaches/Methods: 

• Security/Privacy Policies

• Blockchain and Distributed Ledgers

• Automated Driving Systems (ADS)

• Distributed Machine Learning

• Resilient Systems

• Threat Detection and Protection

• Trusted Execution Environments

• Low-energy Protocols

Applications:

• Smart Cities

• Smart Grids

• Industrial communication

• Habitat monitoring

• Health care

• Cybersecurity environments

• Integrated networks environment

Submission Guidelines

Papers must be original and unpublished, and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere concurrently. All paper submissions should follow the  ACM sigconf template (double column, \documentclass[sigconf]{acmart} for LaTeX). The submitted manuscripts may be either short or full papers, as follows: 

• Full papers: up to 6 pages (including references), with consistent results;

• Short papers: up to 4 pages (including references), presenting work in progress.

The submitted manuscripts should include author names and affiliations.

Authors are requested to first register their submissions and then submit their manuscripts in PDF format to the JEMS webpage (https://jems.sbc.org.br/ladc2023-wsensing)

Accepted contributions will be published by ACM Digital library.

We encourage in-person participation, but online presentations will also be possible. However, remote presenters will not be able to attend to the main track, keynotes and tutorial since these will not be streamed.

Important dates

• Manuscript submission: Tuesday, August 12th August 28th

• Notification of acceptance: Tuesday, September 5th Sunday, September 10th

• Camera-ready version: Tuesday, September 12th Wednesday, September 13th
