CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

 

Conference Scope
 

Recent Research on wireless networks and mobile computing has concentrated on single-hop networks, where network nodes communicating directly to a fixed infrastructure such as cellular or satellite systems. While in Ad-hoc and sensor networks multi-hop scenarios such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue and monitoring scenarios are covered, where network nodes communicate via other network nodes. This conference covers the area of ad-hoc and sensor systems, from physical issues to applications aspects.

 

Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to
 

  • MAC protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks (801.11, Bluetooth, etc)

  • Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast, etc)

  • Power-aware and energy-efficient design

  • Directional and smart antennas for ad-hoc networks

  • QoS, security, and fault-tolerant issues

  • Location and mobility management

  • Topology construction and coverage maintenance

  • Distributed Algorithms (self-configuration, scheduling, synchronization, etc)

  • Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination

  • Operating system and middleware support

  • Complexity analysis of algorithms

  • Analytical, mobility, and validation models

  • Applications of ad-hoc and sensor networks

 
Paper submission
 

All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF or PS of their full papers and submit them through EDAS by April 22, 2004. Papers must not exceed 10 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 * 11 inches pages. See style files and instructions for details.

Authors will have to submit a "Copyright Release" with the final manuscript for all papers accepted for inclusion in the proceedings. For further information see submission guidelines...
Tutorials
 

Proposals for half and full day tutorials are solicited. The selection criteria include the expertise and experience of the instructors and relevance to the central themes of the conference. Proposals of at most 4 pages, including 1-page biographical sketch, should be submitted to the Tutorials Chair, Stephan Olariu (olariu@cs.odu.edu), by April 30, 2004.
