WUWNET is a premier venue for sharing the state-of-the-art research and development of underwater networks and systems, as it brings together leading scientists and entrepreneurs from all over the world. The conference will span three days, including keynote speeches, plenary talks, panel discussions, technical presentations, and poster/demo sessions. We invite academia and industry participants from a broad range of backgrounds relevant to underwater sensing, communications, networking, robotics, systems, and applications to participate in the conference. Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

    Underwater network and system architectures
    Underwater communications (including acoustic, optical, MI, RF, and wired)
    Underwater channel modeling and signal processing
    Cooperative underwater communications, including, PHY, MAC, routing, and data transfer
    Community data infrastructure and public datasets
    Networked underwater robotics and systems, such as localization, navigation, security, communication and coordination, or human operator interaction
    Coordinated energy-harvesting systems and power systems for underwater networks and systems
    Energy-efficient algorithms and protocol design for underwater networks as well as signal/image processing and communication systems
    Operating system and middleware support for underwater networks and systems
    Applications that broadly address underwater networks and systems, including coordinated underwater vehicles
    Modeling, simulation, testbeds, and standardization for underwater systems and platforms
    Experimental results from underwater networking, signal/image processing and communications field trials, especially in extreme environments
    Application requirements for underwater networks, signal/image processing and communication systems presented by end users
    Interaction and integration of underwater networked systems with terrestrial and aerial networking
    Ocean observing platforms, systems, and instrumentation
    Underwater sonar signal and image processing
    Underwater remote sensing
