2nd ACM MobiSys Workshop on Integrated Sensing and Communications for Metaverse

2023 Helsinki, Finland

CALL FOR PAPERS

To enable people to live and socialize in an online 3-D virtual environment with an immersive experience, the Metaverse poses unprecedented challenges to the future sixth generation (6G) system. Thereinto, real-time sensing is critical for collecting up-to-data information of the real world and digitally replicating a real-world in the virtual plane. To achieve this, wireless sensing could be suitable candidate owing to its ubiquitous and flexible characteristics. However, though contactless sensors embedded in the environment could fulfil such raising requirements, a more efficient solution is integrating wireless sensing functionality into current communication devices, in terms of same hardware, same spectrum, and even unified transmitting waveform. Thus, ubiquitous and high accuracy sensing services in Metaverse provide a natural (yet untapped) opportunity to co-design sensing and communications in the future mobile computing devices. This theme is typically referred to as Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) systems, which has been widely recognized to trigger a paradigm shift to the digital world, and drive the implementation of the Metaverse.

To endow the Metaverse a real-time and immersive experience, recent studies have suggested various new key enablers that span all aspects for integrating intelligent sensing with communications, ranging from advanced beamforming and precoding methods, new networking and protocols, novel system architectures, more powerful computing and recognizing algorithms. The 2th ACM MobiSys Workshop on Integrated Sensing and Communications for Metaverse will bring ISAC researchers in academia, industry and national research labs, funding agencies and policy makers under one venue — to present their latest research findings and to discuss and brainstorm on the future challenges when conquering integration between communications and sensing for Metaverse. We look forward to meeting you either virtually or in person in Helsinki, Finland.

It is intended that this workshop will show the state-of-the-art in ISAC original research contributions, tutorials and review for Metaverse, including (but not limited to):

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Integrated human activity recognition and communications for Metaverse
  • Network architectures/transmission protocols in ISAC for Metaverse
  • Precoding/waveform/receiver design for ISAC in Metaverse
  • Security and privacy issues in ISAC for Metaverse
  • Millimeter wave/THz technologies for ISAC in Metaverse
  • 6G vehicular-to-everything (V2X) network for Metaverse
  • Precoding/waveform/receiver design for ISAC for Metaverse
  • ISAC based biomedical information extraction and eHealth for Metaverse
  • Edge computing/intelligence for ISAC in Metaverse
  • Integrated sensing, communication, and computing for Metaverse
  • Experimental demonstrations and prototypes for ISAC in Metaverse

The submitted papers will follow a single blind review.

Instructions for Authors

Submission Instructions

Papers should contain original material, namely, material that has not been previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. 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 six (6) pages (two-column, 10-point format) including references, figures, etc. Papers must include the 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 ISACom proceedings and will be archived in the ACM Digital Library.

Template

This LaTeX template should be useful in complying with the above requirements, but as an author you bear the final responsibility to verify that your submission is format-compliant.
