CSP - UComms 2016 Conference (Underwater Communications Networking)
Abstract
UComms 2016 Conference (Underwater Communications Networking) Underwater Communications Networking Conference 2016 (UComms 2016) is a multi-year international event organised by the NATO STO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) and co-chaired by João Alves & John Potter. This conference aims to bring together key people in UW communications networking to review the state-of-the-art and share understanding of performance constraints and trade-offs with a view to catalysing consensus on standards for interoperability. Thus, the scope of UComms to invest on leveraging on the breakthrough of underwater communications research to promote a near-to-long plan for interoperability standards meets the Naval S&T Strategy “To discover, develop and deliver decisive naval capabilities, near- to long-term, by investing in a balanced portfolio of breakthrough scientific research, innovative technology and talented people””. Namely, UComms 2016 addresses the following Focus Areas identified in the Naval S&T Strategy : a) “Information Dominance –Cyber”” Focus Area and specifically the “Communications and Networks” Objectives Category, b) “Assure Access to Maritime Battlespace” Focus Area relating to the Ocean acoustics S&T Research Area. In addition, UComms 2016 scope is in line with the Ocean Acoustics National Naval Responsibilities (NNR). UComms 2016 technical sessions will foster technical and scientific research work in the above identified areas that will be delivered under the conference proceedings and future journal articles. Namely, the conference papers may also be expanded into a full paper for submission to the IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering for publication in a Special Collection after the event.
