Scope: Underwater autonomous vehicle and sensor ad hoc networks imply<br>the deployment of elements over large and remote areas. Multiple<br>sensing nodes produce information, e.g., seabed or vertical line<br>hydrophone arrays, magnetometers, moored or surface–float suspended,<br>and mobile autonomous vehicles. The network elements operate<br>strategically throughout areas of interest. They need to communicate<br>with each other, to collect and route data to fusion centres or for<br>control purposes. Underwater conditions rule out the extensive use of<br>conventional electromagnetic and cabling communications. Wireless<br>acoustic communication networks are therefore required.<br>Topics of interest for this workshop include (but are not limited to):<br>* Modem and signalling protocol analysis, design and implementation<br>* Channel modelling and simulation<br>* Communication techniques and protocols (physical, data link and network)<br>* Medium access control<br>* Experimental results<br>* Routing algorithms<br>* Topology control<br>* Network management<br>* Detection, localization, classification and tracking of objects<br>of interest in the underwater environment<br>* Model of serviceable coverage ranges<br>* Data trustworthiness and data provenance<br>* Detection of counterfeit sensor outputs<br>
