Various researches have been carried out for mesh-based mobile networks, where an end-to-end path from the source to the destination always exists. In many application scenarios, however, the connectivity between the mobile stations is poor, and thus it is difficult to form a well-connected mesh network for transmitting data through end-to-end connections. In this workshop we aim to explore novel designs for such delay tolerant mobile networks and bring together state-of-the-art contributions in this emerging area. Topic of Interests: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * New architecture of delay tolerant mobile networks * New design of protocol stack for delay tolerant mobile networks * Delay and fault tolerance in mobile peer-to-peer and sensor networks * Mobility management and modeling * Security and privacy * Localization and synchronization * System modeling and performance evaluation * Testbed implementation and experimental results Submission deadline: Jan. 15, 2006.
