Winter School on Underwater Network Simulations and experimentation
We are delighted to announce the third Winter School on Underwater Network Simulations and experimentation (UNWiS). As usual, the school will take place in Padova during the Venice carnival: given that Venice can be reached in 25 minutes by train, we warmly recommend you to stay one day longer and join the party.
The winter school will be held in February, 2025, and it is organized by the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padova, SubSeaPulse SRL and Wireless and More srl. UNWiS will last one week, and it will focus on the DESERT Underwater network simulation and experimentation framework. Every day will be split into two parts, a theoretical part where the students will attend classes on the concepts and procedures to perform network simulations and develop software modules. The second part is experimental, it will be focused on the implementation of the code, on running simulation experiments, and on analyzing the results.
Two tracks are available
➭ The basic track, warmly recommended for first year PhD students and professionals that are approaching the field of underwater networks for the first time. We will address the basics of communication networks analysis, linux bash and basics of C++, to then learn how to design, simulate and realize an underwater network simulation.
➭ The advanced track, for experienced attendees with basic knowledge of linux bash, communication networks, and underwater networks. Underwater multimodal networks most advanced elements will be addressed. There will be a simulation of a sea test, that will be implemented in the nearby river (Piovego) if the weather conditions are favorable.
