Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble Mobile Ubiquitous System (ADAMUS'08) Datum: Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:43:30 +0100 Von: Luca Foschini <lfoschini(a)deis.unibo.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers ________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: Second IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble Mobile Ubiquitous System ADAMUS 2008 In conjunction with the 8th Int. Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM'08) Newport Beach, CA, USA, 23rd June, 2008 ---- WoWMoM web site : http://wowmom08.ics.uci.edu/ ADAMUS web site : http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/ ADAMUS'08 cfp pdf : http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/CFP_adamus08.pdf WORKSHOP SCOPE ---------------------------------------------------------------- A truly extended use of mobile computing technologies asks for effective software engineering techniques to design, develop and maintain novel ubiquitous services with challenging dependa- bility requirements in highly heterogeneous and error-prone mobile environments. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and environments, a variety of research studies have produced methods and proof-of-concept prototypes for sup- porting non-critical applications. However, it is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the challenging adapta- bility and dependability requirements of the emerging mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile commerce, wireless control of robots, healthcare computing, and video-surveillance. Hence, it is becoming increasingly important: to devise con- ceptual models and paradigms for change tolerance; to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop adaptive and dependable systems; to provide analytical and simulation tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable, maintainable, cost- effective middleware infrastructures able to support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous services. Building on the success of the last year event, this workshop aims at fostering exchange of ideas and lively discussions in order to reduce the gap between research achievements and industrial applications in the field of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose original and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable applications over mobile environments. The main topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Dependability and adaptation requirements and open issues for mobile ubiquitous systems; * Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependable and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems; * Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based infrastructures; * Human-machine interaction and usability; * Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems; * Cross-layer adaptation techniques; * End-to-end approaches to the quality of experience of mobile services; * Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability; * Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and mechanisms for heterogeneous wireless networks; * Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiqui- tous systems; * Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adapta- tion to networks conditions; * Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services. PAPER SUBMISSION ---------------------------------------------------------------- ADAMUS 2008 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in IEEE proceedings style. All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site (http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/).

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine on Practical Aspects of Mobility in Wireless Self-Organizing Networks]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine on Practical Aspects of Mobility in Wireless Self-Organizing Networks Datum: Wed, 05 Dec 2007 11:54:46 +0100 Von: Marcelo Dias de Amorim <Marcelo.Amorim(a)lip6.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please apologize for multiple copies. ********************* CALL FOR PAPERS ******************** IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on "Practical aspects of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks" ********************************************************** Wireless and mobile computing advanced significantly in the last decade. In particular, we now face the possibility to spontaneously establish wireless self- organizing networks, such as ad hoc, disruption-tolerant, sensor, and wireless mesh networks. These spontaneous self-organizing networks have been the focus of intensive research activity in recent years. Spontaneous networks arise from the cooperation of mobile devices in an ad hoc fashion requiring no previous infrastructure in place. A key point to couple research and real-life applications in this context is to understand how mobility (of devices, users, and applications) impacts practical networking aspects. The knowledge accumulated so far in the area of wireless self-organizing networks is in general supported by either simulation or theoretical analysis relying on strong assumptions. The research community needs a step forward and should definitely consider real aspects of mobility in their protocols and algorithms. Such a situation is to be compared with the one found for infrastructure-based networks (e.g., cellular networks), in which mobility has been thoroughly investigated (both theoretically and through measurements) and properly incorporated in their management architecture. In wireless self-organizing networks, contrary to common belief, much is still to be done in this domain, and definitive solutions are still to emerge. Mobility can no longer be seen as an issue to be hidden from higher layers of the protocol stack, but as an expected characteristic of today's communication systems. In this context, it is of utmost importance to address issues related to the impact of mobility as seen in practice, covering characterization, modeling, and applications of mobility in modern wireless networks. The research community working on wireless self-organizing networks has recently started giving more attention to the practical mobility issues in this area. This may be attested by the increasing number of initiatives worldwide like the many measurement campaigns and the considerable body of developed theoretical background work supported by practical arguments (e.g., mobility models, mobility increasing network capacity, relationship between node mobility and wireless channel conditions). The goal of this special issue is to help filling this gap by presenting contributions ranging from the impact of mobility on self-organizing networks to mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. As we intend to focus on the practical impacts of mobility in wireless self-organizing networks, papers presenting insights from the applicability of mobility measurements and realistic mobility models in this context are also expected. We will be particularly interested in contributions that explore mobility to improve the behavior of network protocols and algorithms. We are soliciting papers covering, but not limited to, the following topics: * Mobility-aware architectures for self-organizing networks. * Impact of mobility on self-organizing networks. * Practical applicability of wireless testbeds and mobility measurements. * Realistic mobility models for self-organizing networks. * Mobility-centric killer applications. MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors must follow the IEEE Wireless Communications guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/sub_guidelines.html. Submitted papers must be original and must not be under current consideration for publication in other venues.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 3rd IEEE Workshop on advanced EXPerimental activities ON WIRELESS networks & systems --- EXPONWIRELESS 2008 Datum: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 08:55:33 -0600 Von: Yonghe Liu <yonghe(a)cse.uta.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> 3rd IEEE Workshop on advanced EXPerimental activities ON WIRELESS networks & systems --- EXPONWIRELESS 2008 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/EXPONWIRELESS08 23 June, Newport Beach, CA, USA in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2008 (http://wowmom08.ics.uci.edu/) CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- Wireless networks represent a challenging and ever growing research area. In these systems the interactions among the different network layers are very complex and their effects on the overall performance are not easy to accurately identify. Additionally, many simplifying assumptions considered in analytical studies do not hold in practise. Experimental activities involving the development of systems and device prototypes and the collection and analysis of measurements from actual networks can provide insight on the behaviour of such systems in realistic environments, which can be beneficial for understanding how cross-layer interactions impact in practise the overall performance, for deriving realistic simulation models, for analyzing particular phenomena and evaluating algorithms and protocols, and for exploring the design choices in building actual wireless networks. Such activities are pivotal for researchers, developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users involved in the evolution of these networks. After successful events in the last years, EXPONWIRELESS 2008 aims to again bring together all the aspects related to experimental activities on wireless networks, creating a forum where researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, current requirements, and future visions, that are important for the development of new protocols, algorithms, devices and systems. High quality papers discussing original and innovative experimental activities on wireless networks are solicited for submission. The main topics of the workshop are (but are not limited to): * Algorithms for self-configuration and self-management of beyond-3G systems * Deployment and experience with multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks * Device prototypes for wireless BANs, PANs, LANs, and MANs * Differentiated services in wireless multimedia networks * Energy-efficient protocols and power management algorithms * Experiences/lessons from recent wireless testbed deployments * Handoff and mobility management in beyond-3G systems * Location-aware services * Middleware platforms for wireless/mobile environments * Mobility models of wireless/mobile networks and systems * Positioning and tracking technologies * Power control and channel assignment * Prototype implementation of wireless/mobile networks and systems * QoS for real-time voice/video in wireless networks * Seamless internetworking and architectures for beyond 3G systems * Systems and methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in wireless networks * Security and privacy issues in wireless networks * Wireless/Mobile applications and services (e.g., vehicular networks, underwater networks, opportunistic networks, etc.) PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Submitted manuscripts should adhere to the IEEE double-column standard format with 10pt font size for texts. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e., Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica, or equivalent. The maximum length of the manuscript is 5 pages. This limit includes figures, appendix, bibliography, etc. Papers significantly exceeding this limit will be automatically rejected. All papers must be submitted in PDF format using the ISAS Conference Manager http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/EXPONWIRELESS08/ISAS/ . Any question can be submitted to exponwireless08(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2008 workshop proceedings.

ICME serves as a forum for the dissemination of state-of-the-art research, development, and implementations of multimedia systems, technologies and applications. The exhibition aims at an exchange of knowledge and ideas between researchers triggered by appealing demonstrations of multimedia technology. Each selected demonstration (see below) will be entitled to have 2 pages in the final proceedings and the CD of the conference. Prospective authors are invited to contribute to the "E" in ICME. Demos and exhibits are solicited in all areas of multimedia from industries, universities, and vendors. *Scope and Format* There are three categories of exhibits: 1. Live Demonstrations will include leading edge work in every area of multimedia technology and its application. We encourage demonstrating the "process" rather than the ÔÇ£resultsÔÇØ as this would make the demos more live and entertaining. 2. Video Demonstrations allow researchers and artists to demonstrate their tool, system or application without having to bring the equipment for a "live" demo. 3.

Interest has been fueled by advances that promise exponential gains in the error performance of networks with reduced structure, little central oversight, and limited computational capabilities. The research area's utility and challenging nature is demonstrated both by the contributions from a variety of disciplines, such as information theory, discrete mathematics, game theory and finance, as well as from the effort to unify the above and to bring forth the inherent complexities of multi-terminal communication and interaction. In pace with the above challenges, the workshop will promote new results which explore the theoretical limitations of network communications, propose novel network coding schemes, present relaying methods and cooperation protocols, and investigate fundamental tradeoffs between cooperation and competition for resource allocation. The aim being to provide the participants with an in-depth and unifying exposition to the complex nature of analyzing, coding, cooperating and competing in wireless networks, the workshop will seek to expose the intricacies of multi-terminal network theory and the advanced mathematical structures that support network communication and interactions. KEYNOTE SPEAKER Hashem El-Gamal TOPICS OF INTEREST In the framework of communication, cooperation and competition over wireless networks, papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following directions. ? Cooperative diversity ? Network coding techniques ? Information theoretic bounds ? Stochastic network optimization ? Queueing theoretic aspects ? Application of game theory tools ?

Call for Papers symposium issue of Simulation & Gaming: An International Journal of Theory, Practice, and Research Theme: Emergent characteristics of global gaming networks Guest Editor Jan H.G. Klabbers, jklabbers AT kmpc.nl Following the Symposium issues “State of the Art and Science of Simulation/Gaming”, Volume 32, Number 4, December 2001, “Simulation and Gaming: The art & science of design”, Volume 34, Number 4, December 2003, and “Artifact assessment versus theory testing”, Volume 37, Number 2, June 2006, I am preparing a special issue of the Journal Simulation & Gaming on “Emergent characteristics of global gaming networks.” Current gaming associations such as, ISAGA, NASAGA, SAGSET, ABSEL, JASAG, SAGSAGA, DiGRA, SAGANET, IGDA, and SSAGSG provide a home base for scholars and practitioners from a great variety of disciplines, having distinct perspectives of and interests in gaming. They form nodes in the global gaming networks. Moreover, game design is a science, an art, and a craft, tapping off distinct abilities and motivations. Those involved speak different languages, and as a consequence the terminology used provokes ambiguity, confusion and often misunderstanding among “the communities of gamers”. Thus, covering more than forty years of research and practice, it is worthwhile to review the field from those various perspectives, to wrap up achievements and lessons learned, and to offer a vision of the near future. On the one hand the study of games relates to their design qualities, on the other hand to their context of use and their social and cultural impact. The aim of this special issue is to reflect on and review the gaming landscape from the perspective of the associations mentioned above, and to address emerging characteristics. Can we speak of a common inheritance, a common future, and common achievements? Which goals do these gaming associations and membership pursue? What are/were the main issues to be addressed? What topics are being discussed at the various discussion forums? Which challenges and puzzles need further attention to advance the field? Authors should survey the field of gaming and simulation, review current qualities of the different gaming networks, covering the whole spectrum from face-to-face role- play to computer games and simulations, and games for learning to digital games for entertainment. They are invited to pay attention to (terminological) questions to enhance communication among fellow gamers. That presumes that the authors will exceed the level of purely instrumental reasoning, prevalent in the supporting disciplines, and offer a coherent and recognizable frame-of-reference. My intention is to engage in a constructive dialogue with the authors so that the final product will reflect the highest standards for work in the gaming and simulation tradition. Please send a one- to two-page outline containing the following items: • A working title. • Your name(s), address, phone, e-mail, etc. • An abstract, with a set of objectives and an outline for the proposed paper. • A working plan and time schedule. • Possibly one or two off-prints of previous papers that might be relevant. The outline should not exceed 750 words, including the paper’s title, full name(s) of author(s), and should be emailed to Jan Klabbers by January 1, 2008 at jklabbers(a)kmpc.nl preferably as a Microsoft Word document email attachment.

CfP: OMNeT++ 2008 - Deadline extended to Dec 16
by Isabel Dietrich 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Due to several requests, we extended the submission deadline to December 16, 2007. Please note that this is now a firm deadline. No further extensions will be granted. CALL FOR PAPERS 1st International OMNeT++ Workshop <www.omnet-workshop.org> held in conjunction with SIMUTools 2008 <http://www.simutools.org> Marseille, France, March 3, 2008 Sponsored by: ICST, ACM SIGSIM, IEEE France, INRIA, SCS OMNeT++ is a public-source, component-based, modular and open-architecture simulation environment with strong GUI support and an embeddable simulation kernel. Its primary application area is the simulation of communication networks. Because of its generic and flexible architecture it has been successfully used in other areas like the simulation of IT systems, queuing networks, hardware architectures, and business processes. OMNeT++ is rapidly becoming a popular simulation platform in the scientific community as well as in industrial settings. Several open source simulation models have been published, in the field of Internet simulations (IP, IPv6, MPLS, etc), mobility and ad-hoc simulations and other areas. However, such a growing community faces also growing challenges and problems: Integration of different simulation tools, porting of simulation models between different platforms, testing and comparison of applications. Different initiatives were started in the last years for unifying and integrating the already existing simulation models, which involves however also organization and coordination among the different user groups. An important task is making the existing tools and applications easily available. The goal of this workshop is to bring together OMNeT++ users and their tools, applications and ideas. It intends to provide a forum for presentations of recent developments and novel ideas in the broad context of network simulation with focus on OMNeT++. It will bring together researchers to focus on the important topics of integrating simulation models, coupling different simulation tools, providing better modeling approaches, and contributing to the active modeling and simulation community with respect to identifying some of the most promising candidate solution methods, architectures and techniques to address the various challenges of network simulation. The benefits are two-fold: On the one hand OMNeT++ users get into direct discussion and on the other hand they can meet with developers. Furthermore, the developers can pick up ideas for the future development. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Parallel simulation * Simulation control * Result interpretation and analysis * Debugging * Simulation in the loop * Modeling techniques * Coupling with other simulation/emulation tools * Integration of hardware-specific code * Cross-layer protocol design methodologies * Mobility models * Simulation of wireless networks * Industrial applications * Use of OMNeT++ in other domains Submission Instructions: Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 8 pages, or short papers of up to 3 pages, in ACM conference proceedings format. All accepted papers will be made available in ACM Digital Library, as well as indexed by EI and ISI Index. Detailed submission instructions, together with format files, are available on the website.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFPs: ICDCS'08 Workshop on Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Mobile Networks]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFPs: ICDCS'08 Workshop on Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Mobile Networks Datum: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 16:41:00 -0600 (CST) Von: Dr. Hongyi Wu <wu(a)cacs.louisiana.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS The 3rd International Workshop on Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Mobile Networks (In conjunction with ICDCS 2008), Beijing, China, June 20, 2008. http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~wu/DTMN08/. Mobile communication has experienced an explosive growth since close to quarter of a century. In particular, the mobile ad hoc network technology has attracted significant attention in the last decade or so due its challenging research problems, and span off such new research areas as mesh-based mobile networks and sensor networks. What characterizes nearly all of those mobile technologies is that during the exchange of information between the source and destination terminals, there exists a set of links which constitutes an end-to-end path over which the information is communicated. In some application scenarios, however, the connectivity between the mobile stations is poor due to very sparse network conditions (low node density) or due to unstable connectivity conditions (interference, fading, etc), and thus it is difficult to form a well-connected mesh network for transmitting data through end-to-end connections. In fact, even if there temporarily exists a path in the network for some portion of the communication, it is likely that the terminals will only be intermittently connected due to mobility. As a result, data are delivered in a store-carry and forward paradigm in such networks. Examples include vehicular networks, mobile sensor networks, deep space communications, etc. In this workshop we aim to explore novel research issues related to Delay (or Disruption)-Tolerant Mobile Networks (DTMN) and bringing together state-of-the-art contributions in this emerging area. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - New Network Architectures and Applications * Mobile sensor networks * Vehicular networks * Heterogeneous mobile networks * Delay-tolerant applications - Protocol Design and Optimization * Delay-tolerant transport protocols * Mobility/disruption-aware routing protocols * Reliability and fault tolerance * Energy, processing power and storage requirement * Mobility modeling and mobility management * Localization and location management * Nodal synchronization * Security, privacy and incentives for co-operation * Resource allocation and QoS support - Performance Analysis and Evaluation - Testbed Implementation and Experimental Results Important Dates: - Paper Submissions: Dec. 15, 2007 - Notification: Feb. 11, 2008 - Final Version: March 9, 2008 - Workshop date: June 20, 2008 Submission Instructions: Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to eight (8) pages.

Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Mobility and handover aspects * Security for mobile multimedia * (evolved) MBMS and security * Standards enhacements and upcoming technologies (3GPP/2, IEEE, IETF) * Middleware support for mobile multimedia * Mobile content distribution and authorization * Presence-awareness and multimedia signaling in provider networks * Service creation and provisioning for mobile applications * Broadcast/Multicast based applications and architectures * Power control and energy-efficient systems for pervasive communication * RFID/sensor applications in enterprise and provider networks * Innovative methods for charging/billing * Fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) systems * Network simulation and validation tools The Industry Session track is intended to specially highlight system experiences and proofs-of-concept in the areas of wireless communication and multimedia applications. Like regular papers, the "industry session" papers will undergo a review process by an international TPC and will appear in the conference proceedings. However, the selection criteria for "industry session" papers are slightly different. In particular, papers should describe applications, prototypes or experiences of clear industry relevance. Papers with narrow algorithmic focus or only high-level design details are discouraged. A key goal of these sessions is to present systems-oriented research that exposes the academic and research communities to "real-life" issues and problems being faced in industry. Accordingly, papers will be evaluated, less on the novelty of specific algorithmic content, but by the originality and general applicability of insights that can be inferred from the authors' implementation experience. Papers must be submitted in PDF format via the Easy Chair Website: http://www.easychair.org/wowmom08/. Papers should be double-column, 10pt IEEE format and no longer than 8 pages.

[Tccc] CfP - IEEE Workshop on Autonomic Communications and Network Management (ACNM'08)
by Stefan Schmid 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

(Please accept our apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 2nd IEEE Workshop on Autonomic Communications and Network Management (ACNM 2008) April 11, 2008 - Salvador, Brazil http://www.netlab.nec.de/acnm08/ In conjunction with the IEEE/IFIP Network Operations and Management Symposium (NOMS 2008) The purpose of this workshop is to present and to discuss new theories, mechanisms and applications of Autonomic Communication - a new paradigm for forthcoming networks in the fixed as well as the mobile world. The focus of ACNM is on intelligent communication, network control and management paradigms based on smart network and service elements that are capable to automatically configure and organize themselves. Autonomic networks will be able to sense their environment to perceive these changes, to understand the meaning of these changes, and to react in an intelligent manner through adaptation. This facilitates new ways to perform network control, management, service creation, etc. Autonomic networking naturally also applies to mission critical distributed systems, since autonomic behavior allows for immediate reaction to changes in the networking environment or context, and correction of any (predicted) problems. Such behavior also facilitates fault-tolerance and resilience. ACNM offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange their research ideas and findings. The workshop will be held in conjunction with NOMS'08, which draws many leading researchers in the field of Network and Systems Management. It is co-sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc) and the EU IST Project ANA. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following (the full CFP can be found at http://www.netlab.nec.de/acnm08/): *** TOPICS *** - Autonomic network architectures and principles - Paradigms, tools and techniques autonomic communication systems - Control and management in dynamic/mobile network environments - Self-management of communication systems and networks (e.g., based on peer-to-peer principles) - Policy control for autonomic networks & systems - Sensing, monitoring and measurements for autonomic networks - Advances in and application of control theory - Self-co-operating peer-to-peer networks - Self-organizing network elements, and administrative domains - Self-* technologies - Fault-tolerance and resilience - Cognitive networking - Plug and play networking components - Knowledge based network control - Bio-inspired networks and systems - Experiences with self-* solutions - Application of autonomic management to mobile and wireless networking including 3GPP evolved UTRAN, SAE networks, etc. *** IMPORTANT DATES *** - Submission deadline: January 11th, 2008 - Notification of acceptance: February 22nd, 2008 - Camera ready version: March 21st, 2008 *** PAPER SUBMISSION *** Papers must be original material, not currently be under review, and not have been previously published by another conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP WiMAN 2008 Datum: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 10:46:09 +0100 Von: Frank Reichenbach <frank.reichenbach(a)uni-rostock.de> An: multicomm(a)comsoc.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Second IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN'08) Beijing, China, June 20, 2008 in conjunction with ICDCS 2008 http://www.cs.iusb.edu/~liqzhang/WiMAN2008/index.htm Submission Deadline: December 7, 2007 **************************************************************************************** Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade's research effort in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless networks. It also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: Multi-radio and �multi-channel wireless mesh networking Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols Quality of Services provisioning Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks Network deployment, localization, and synchronization Topology construction and maintenance Modeling and performance evaluations Cross layer optimizations Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks Testbed, prototype, and practical systems Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks Vehicular mesh and ad hoc networks Wireless sensor networks Self-adaptive and self-organizing wireless networking systems Important Dates --------------- Paper submission due: December 7, 2007 Acceptance notification: February 11, 2008 Camera-ready due: March 9, 2008 Workshop: June 20, 2008 Submissions and Publications ---------------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.
