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

[Dave Taht]

While I am *delighted* to see this... the june 19th deadline is awfully tight.

The CFP calls for "novelty", where when it comes to space, reality
triumphs, and there is little widely understood ground (space?) truth,
to leverage as starting points, as yet, IMHO, and few of those in that
part of the business willing or able to share. I do hope to see
submissions from companies that have succeeded and are willing to
share.

In terms of looking further out, I see LEO as too limiting - in the
context of the much larger and interesting problems of properly
supporting the earth-moon and earth-mars corridors, and ultimately,
better exploring the solar system.  Perhaps one day a GTO or sun-sync
conference would be ideal to have, and I would so love to have reports
back from the 8 spacex "Transporter" missions to date. 100s of
cubesats in those that far, far too few, know anything about!

Over here, back in 2014, I tried to explain the importance of getting
our space software more right, for that, in about 1 minute:

Lastly, if there is any one point, that I am always making, and
indeed, made in that talk, it is the need to have people at all layers
of the network stack, communicating. I would hope that at least some
folk, with more of an IEEE background, can be part of this conference.

> 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.
