The increasing complexity of the wireless ecosystem witnessed in recent years has prompted an increasing need of experimental validation of innovative wireless solutions and applications and their coexistence. The WiNTECH workshop has been created to deal with all those methodological, technical and policy issues to be faced when defining, running, controlling and benchmarking experiments on wireless solutions. The workshop, now in its 14th edition, intends to bring together academic researchers and industry players working on different aspects of experimental wireless communications and networking. As such, it serves as a forum for sharing experiences and results with real testbeds, experimental evaluation, prototyping and empirical characterization of wireless technologies.
The workshop will facilitate discussions on unresolved issues, including new laboratory methodologies, key real-life limitations of wireless technologies that have emerged over the past few years (e.g., mmWave, underwater, 5G, IoT, wearables, and SDN), as well as key challenges facing the wireless networking of the future. As WiNTECH concerns experimental communications and networking, it will feature a relatively large demo session as centerpiece, where real testbeds, deployments and prototypes can be demonstrated and discussed. A demo competition is planned.
This year's edition will particularly showcase developments, lesson-learned and new results obtained through platforms for at-scale wireless research such as those in the US NSF Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) program, the European 5G-PPP program under the coordination of EMPOWER, and similar programs focused on large-scale experimentation.
All the regular papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their manuscripts to Computer Networks.
In addition to the regular papers, the program of WiNTECH 2020 will also include:

ACM WiNTECH has advanced to its 14th anniversary as one consolidated tradition for bringing together an important number of researchers and industry players working in different aspects of experimental wireless communications and networking. The workshop will continue to serve as a forum for sharing new ideas and experiences gathered across all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, such as the methodological and technical issues that have to be faced for defining, running, controlling and benchmarking experiments on wireless solutions. The workshop will also facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges and emerging problems in the field, such as new laboratory methodologies, key real-life limitations of current and novel wireless technologies that have emerged over the past few years (including mmWave, 5G, IoT, VLC, wearables, underwater and aerial networking, and SDN), as well as key challenges facing the wireless networking of the future.
We are particularly interested in papers describing developments, lesson-learned and new results obtained through platforms for at-scale wireless research such as those in the US NSF Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) program, the European 5G-PPP program under the coordination of EMPOWER, and similar programs focused on large-scale experimentation.
We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers empirically addressing key issues and challenges in experimental wireless networking.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. All submissions will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to the workshop, based on reviews by the Technical Program Committee.
Manuscripts must be submitted by using the HOTCRP conference management system. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a single PDF file with all fonts embedded, using the ACM conference proceedings format (use the same PDF formatting guidelines as the main conference). Paper length is limited to eight (8) pages (in two-column, 10-point format), all-inclusive (references, figures, etc.). Papers must include author names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM WiNTECH proceedings and will be archived in the ACM Library. All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their manuscripts to Computer Networks.

.SUBMIT THE FINAL VERSION OF THE PAPER
WiNTECH continues its established tradition of hosting a demos and posters session. We welcome proposals for demonstrations of novel work in wireless network testbeds, measurement platforms and results, and innovative prototypes. The areas of interest overlap those listed in the workshop Call for Papers. The innovations showcased can be at any layer of the protocol stack, from physical to application. However, we particularly encourage demonstrations and posters that span over multiple layers. Wireless networking must be the key topic. Posters may describe work in progress, while the session will offer an excellent opportunity to receive feedback and discuss early research. We emphasize that the demos and posters session is not a forum to display commercial products.
As the workshop this year will happen virtually (online only) authors of accepted demos and posters will be requested to submit a video of their work that will be posted to the public on the workshop website.
Each submission must be a single PDF file no longer than two (2) pages in length (including figures, tables, and references), using two-column format, 10-point size or greater and in PDF format following the same formatting guidelines as the main conference. Submissions must include the author name and affiliation. All poster titles should begin with the keyword "Poster:" and all demo titles should start with "Demo:". Papers must include the authors’ name and affiliation. All submissions should be sent to posters-wintech20@googlegroups.com.

Using OpenAirInterface to Prototype Cloud-native 5G Networks
Dr. Raymond Knopp, Eurecom and OpenAirInterface Software Alliance
In this talk we provide an overview of the status of OpenAirInterface5g, a set of open-source code software packages which allow for experimenting with 4G and 5G real-time radio networks using off-the-shelf computing and radio equipment, including both access and core network functions. We will then show how these tools can be used in the context of cloud-native implementations and in particular methods for integrating OpenAirInterface5g with Kubernetes-based computing infrastructure and other open-source components such as ONAP. The talk will include details of deploying an experimental cloud-native infrastructure combining USRPs, high-end Intel-Architecture servers and modern switching fabric. We will also provide some information regarding ongoing experimentation at the EURECOM 5G site and in particular how it is integrated with the large-scale 5G-EVE experimental facility.
BioProf. Raymond Knopp received the B.Eng. (Honours) and the M.Eng. degrees in Electrical Engineering from McGill University, Montreal, Canada, in 1992 and 1993, respectively. From 1993-1997 he was a research assistant in the Mobile Communications Department at EURECOM working towards the PhD degree in Communication Systems from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne. From 1997-2000 he was a research associate in the Mobile Communications Laboratory (LCM) of the Communication Systems Department of EPFL. He joined EURECOM as a professor in 2000. His current research and teaching interests are in the area of digital communications, software radio architectures, and implementation aspects of signal processing systems and real-time wireless networking protocols. He is also president of the OpenAirInterface Software Alliance, an academia-industry consortium federating the OpenAirInterface development communities which promotes open-source tools for 3GPP-based systems.
The Network as a Programmable Platform: Realizing Verifiable Closed-Loop Control in 5G Networks
Watch the keynote
Dr. Larry Peterson, Open Networking Foundation
Networks are notoriously difficult to make verifiably robust and secure against failures, cyberattacks, and configuration errors. The emergence of 5G networks and applications will only exacerbate the situation. 5G networks will connect not only smart phones and people, but also everything from doorbells, to lights, refrigerators, self-driving cars, and drones. If we cannot secure these networks, we are at risk of cyber disasters much worse than anything we’ve experienced. The most critical capability for securing our networks is verifiability: the ability to ensure that every packet in the network follows an operator-specified path and encounters only a set of forwarding rules within every device that the operator intended. Nothing more and nothing less. Fortunately, we believe that creating and deploying a full-featured network—including 5G—under verifiable closed loop control is now within reach. This talk discusses how the confluence of disaggregation, deep programmability, and fine-grain measurements makes this possible. It also describes an operational deployment of such a network, called Aether, being built to demonstrate this capability.
BioLarry Peterson is the Robert E. Kahn Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus at Princeton University, where he served as Chair from 2003–2009. He is a co-author of the best-selling networking textbook Computer Networks: A Systems Approach (6e), which is now available as open source on GitHub. His research focuses on the design, implementation, and operation of Internet-scale distributed systems, including the widely used PlanetLab and MeasurementLab platforms. He is currently working on Aether, a 5G-enabled EdgeCloud-as-a-Service. Aether is an open source project of the Open Networking Foundation (ONF), where he serves as the CTO. Peterson is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the ACM and the IEEE, the 2010 recipient of the IEEE Kobayashi Computer and Communication Award, and the 2013 recipient of the ACM SIGCOMM Award. He received his Ph.D. from Purdue University in 1985.
