It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 14th Workshop on Challenged Networks - CHANTS'19 co-located with ACM Mobicom 2019.
CHANTS'19 aims at bringing researchers together to have a platform for discussing the challenges emerging with new use cases and real-life applications, such as edge computing or autonomous driving, and corresponding innovative approaches in tackling the limitations of the challenged networks. Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional Internet architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes with diverse capabilities, frequent nodal churn, unpredicted humans' behavior, partial information availability, and widely varying network conditions.
Moreover, CHANTS'19 aims at providing another perspective to the broader audience by listing a subset of problems that communication networks, despite the advances on many fronts, still have to tackle. The expected outcomes of CHANTS'19 have the potential to influence industrial thinking about the technologies of next-generation challenged networks.

Enabling Seamless Container Migration in Edge Platforms
Fog and cloud computing are becoming increasingly popular as computational offloading platforms. However, many areas throughout the world either do not have a stable enough network connection to effectively use cloud computing, or do not have the ...
Redundant Multipath-TCP Scheduling with Desired Packet Latency
Several network transport protocols have been developed to provide reliable connection-oriented multipath concurrent data transmission. One of their advantages is reducing end-to-end latency by redundantly transmitting data through multiple network ...
Towards a Programmable World: Lua-based Dynamic Local Orchestration of Networked Microcontrollers
Microcontrollers execute much of the logic that makes the appliances and infrastructure around us work. Recent years have seen a significant increase in the microcontroller capabilities, with modern designs including multiple 32-bit processor cores and ...
Spectrum Measurement and Management for Future Spectrum-sharing Networks
Mobile wireless networks are at a tipping point. While traditionally they have been a key enabler of distributed Internet applications, in recent years they have become throttled by heterogeneous and bandwidth-hungry applications such as immersive ...
Satisfaction-aware Data Offloading in Surveillance Systems
In this paper, we exploit the capabilities of Fully Autonomous Aerial Systems' (FAAS) and the Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) to introduce a novel data offloading framework and support the energy and time efficient video processing in surveillance systems ...
Towards Exploiting Wi-Fi Signals From Low Density Infrastructure for Crowd Estimation
The ubiquity of wireless devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops, has enabled sensing large crowds. This was made possible with numerous methods available that mostly listen to Bluetooth or Wi-Fi channels to observe traffic diversity, sources, ...
Monitoring Food Storage with the Help of a LoRa-based DTWSN
Food such as grain, potatoes, onions and other vegetables as well as fruits is stored in warehouses after harvesting which ensures availability throughout the year. Good storage conditions are crucial to avoid loss due to wrong conditions such as ...
