Call for Papers
Workshop on Real-Time Wireless Networking for Industrial Applications
-> RealWiN 2012 <-
http://www.performance.rwth-aachen.de/realwin
April 16th 2012, Beijing, China
as part of CPS Week 2012
Submission Deadline: January 9th 2012
#### Scope: ##########
During the last 20 years the development of wireless networks has been
driven mainly by the demand for more bandwidth. This demand has been
necessitated by the human desire for information and communication. Hence,
wireless networks have been designed to serve mainly Internet best-effort
traffic as well as delay-sensitive voice and video applications. Besides
this, we have also witnessed research into new network paradigms like
Mobile Ad hoc Networks and Wireless Mesh Networks which serve the same
types of traffic in general.
Recently, the vision of an Internet of Things has become more and more a
reality. Wireless sensor networks and Machine-to-Machine networking connect
resource-constrained and likely battery-powered devices such as sensors and
actuators with each other and with control units. For example, recent years
have witnessed the adoption of wireless sensor-actuator networks as a
communication infrastructure for industrial applications such as process
monitoring and control. Open industrial standards such as WirelessHART have
shown promise through commercial products and system deployments in
real-world industrial environments.However, industrial applications impose
new challenges to wireless network design such as stringent requirements on
reliability, real-time performance, latency of the communication, security,
and networked control, even more stringent than time-critical best-effort
applications like voice over IP. Despite the already high requirements, the
desire is growing to use wireless communication in even more demanding
industrial applications such as factory automation and motion control.
This workshop will provide an open forum for academic and industrial
researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in this important area. The
focus is on ’soft’ real time requirements as well as on ’hard’ real-time
requirements potentially with very low latencies. The workshop cross-cuts
the diverse areas associated with CPS Week including real-time systems
(RTAS), wireless sensor networks (IPSN), control (HSCC), and the
integration of them in cyber-physical systems (ICCPS). We are also
soliciting contributions form industrial partners highlighting case
studies, measurements, experiences from applications etc.
In particular, the following topics are of interest (not limiting other
contributions in the considered direction):
- Physical layer design
- Medium access control and interference management
- Real-time scheduling algorithms and analysis
- Routing and transport for guaranteed delay networking
- Theoretical bounds, performance models and evaluation
- Prototypes/ testbeds and implementation aspects of real-time operation
- Application scenarios and requirements
- Challenges, vision and architecture for real-time wireless networks
- Software stacks for hard real-time wireless networking
- Fault-tolerance and redundancy issues
- Control over wireless sensor-actuator networks
- Control and wireless network co-design for cyber-physical systems
- Case studies, measurements and experiences from industrial deployments
#### Dates: ##########
Paper submission deadline: January 9th, 2012
Notification: February 13th, 2012
Camera-Ready Version: February 29th, 2012
#### Submissions and Review Process: ##########
We solicit novel, unpublished papers on all technical areas as described
above.
Each submitted paper has a strict page length of eight, double-column,
single-spaced pages following the IEEE conference style. Papers should be
submitted as PDF via EasyChair:
