* Paper Submission Deadline: May 15, 2017 * Acceptance Notification: June 12, 2017 * Camera Ready Version: June 30, 2017

========================================================================

Scope: Underwater autonomous vehicle and sensor ad hoc networks imply the deployment of elements over large and remote areas. Multiple sensing nodes produce information, e.g., seabed or vertical line hydrophone arrays, magnetometers, moored or surface-float suspended, and mobile autonomous vehicles. The network elements operate strategically throughout areas of interest. They need to communicate with each other, to collect and route data to fusion centres or for control purposes. Underwater conditions rule out the extensive use of conventional electromagnetic and cabling communications. Wireless acoustic communication networks are therefore required.

Topics of interest for this workshop include (but are not limited to):

* Modem and signalling protocol analysis, design and implementation * Channel modelling and simulation * Communication techniques and protocols (physical, data link and network) * Medium access control * Experimental results * Routing algorithms * Topology control * Network management * Detection, localization, classification and tracking of objects of interest in the underwater environment * Model of serviceable coverage ranges * Data trustworthiness and data provenance * Detection of counterfeit sensor outputs

========================================================================

Highlights:

The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a leading community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of ICT.

Accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries.

Proceedings are submitted for inclusion to the leading indexing services: EI, ISI Thomson's Scientific and Technical Proceedings at Web of Science, Scopus, CrossRef, Google Scholar, DBLP, as well as EAI's own EU Digital Library (EUDL).

Accepted Authors will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to Special Issue in EAI Endorsed Transactions on Mobile Communications and Applications.
