[Starlink] [LEO-NET MOBICOM Workshop] CFP: 1st ACM Mobicom Workshop on LEO Networking and Communications (LEO-NET)

[Nitinder Mohan]

Dear Starlink bufferbloat community,  

We are organizing the first LEO communications and networking workshop which is inspired by the many wonderful discussions on this mailing list. In case you are working on characterising and understanding LEO operations and performance, please consider submitting your work to the workshop.  


The 1st ACM Workshop on LEO Networking and Communications (LEO-NET)


To be held in conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2023


October 2023, Madrid, Spain(x-apple-data-detectors://0)

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication and networking is a rapidly growing field with great potential for enabling new and innovative applications by providing low-latency, high-bandwidth Internet connectivity globally. Massive-scale LEO deployments from industrial players, such as Starlink, OneWeb, etc. have allowed wide-scale availability of LEO satellite network access globally but their network remains to operate as a black box. However, considering the state of LEO networking and constellation design is still in its infancy, we believe that the unique challenges posed by the inherently dynamic LEO satellite architectures, necessitate novel solutions in network architecture, protocol design, resource management, along with several other verticals.


LEO-NET 2023 invites submissions from researchers and practitioners in academia and industry who are exploring the latest developments and open challenges in LEO satellite networks and communications. We also welcome work-in-progress and position papers that present new directions, highly original ideas, or have the potential to provoke insightful discussions during the workshop. Whether you're an expert or a newcomer to the field, we encourage you to join us and contribute to this exciting area of research.
