> Overview & Scope   
> ********************
> 
> Water covers 71% of the earth's surface with oceans, rivers and lakes.
> Water systems are of vital importance to climate regulation, 
> agriculture, nutrient production, oil retrieval and transportation, 
> etc., yet they represent one of the least explored frontiers. As such, 
> there is significant interest in real-time, in-situ monitoring of 
> aquatic environments for scientific, environmental, commercial, safety 
> and military applications.
> 
> Underwater networking has attracted strong attention in the recent a 
> few years. Although there is a long history of underwater acoustic 
> communication, many new applications requires networking of multiple 
> nodes, either static or mobile, and potentially over multiple hops.
> The physical challenges of acoustic channel and the complexity of 
> diverse aquatic environments require us to completely re-think network 
> design for underwater environments. Some major challenges at the 
> physical layer and higher layers include the severely limited 
> range-dependent bandwidth and attenuation, extensive time-varying 
> multi-path propagation, the low speed of sound in water that is 5 
> orders of magnitude less than that of radio waves in air. In addition, 
> underwater nodes are neither inexpensive nor easy to deploy. These 
> distinct features yield grand challenges to every layer of the protocol
suite in underwater networks.
> 
> The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and 
> practitioners in areas relevant to underwater networks. Thus, all 
> layers of the protocol stack, from the physical layer to application, 
> will be represented. Its objective is to serve as a forum for 
> presenting state of the art research, exchanging ideas and 
> experiences, and facilitating interaction and collaboration. The 
> workshop will span one day, including presentations of technical 
> papers, keynote speeches, and a poster/demo session. Submissions for 
> technical papers should describe original research, not published or 
> currently under review for other workshops, conferences, or journals.
>  
> Topics include, but are not limited to:
> 
> - Network architecture design
> - Efficient acoustic communications
> - Cooperative underwater communications
> - Medium access control
> - Routing and forwarding
> - Reliable data transfer
> - Security and robustness
> - In-network data storage
> - Resource management (energy, bandwidth)
> - Localization and time synchronization
> - Data fusion, dissemination, tracking
> - Network modeling and simulations
> - Network planning and deployment
> - New applications utilizing underwater networks
> - Testbed and systems: real-world experience
