EWSN Dependability Competition 2018
Differently from the 2016 and 2017 editions, this year's dependability competition is run remotely in the two months preceding the actual EWSN conference. The experiments carried out by the contestants and their results during the preparation phase can be followed here.
Scenario. In contrast to the past two editions (focused on a single source node and a single destination node), this year's evaluation scenario includes the reporting of multiple events from/to several nodes. A full description of this year's evaluation scenario and the call for competitors can be found here. Information about the logistics can be followed on the competition's blog.
Competing Teams. Since November 30, 2017, nine teams formed by 44 researchers and practitioners from China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom (22 from academia and 22 from industry) are competing to provide the most reliable, timely, and energy-efficient networking solution for low-power wireless systems operating in challenging RF environments:
Program during the main EWSN conference. The winners of the competition will be awarded during a dedicated plenary session on the first main conference day (February 15, 2018). After receiving the award, the top three teams must hold a 10-minutes presentation about their solution, followed by a short discussion session. Shortly afterwards, all competing teams will present their solution in a dedicated poster session and will have the possibility to engage in lively discussions with the other conference attendees.
The preliminary program for February 15, 2018, is the following:
