By now, some of the early fundamental issues and challenges of ad hoc networking have been clearly assessed, while new ones emerge as a result of the ever expanding application domain of ad hoc networking. Current emphasis of ad hoc networking includes application scenarios (road safety, disaster recovery, sensors and actuators, etc.), autonomous organization and operation, optimization and control, service creation and support and middleware. Moreover, wireless mesh networking is emerging as an "ad hoc spin-off" aimed at extending and integrating the multi-hop paradigm with more traditional networking, which poses new and exciting technical challenges. Med-Hoc-Net 2007 is an established annual international workshop aiming to serve as a forum where researchers from academia, research labs and the industry from all over the world, meet to share ideas, views, results, and experiences in the field of ad hoc networking. Anything from theoretical and experimental achievements, to innovative ad hoc systems, prototyping efforts, and case studies is of interest to the Med-Hoc-Net community. The papers solicited in Med-Hoc-Net 2007 cover a variety of topics related to ad hoc networks, including but not limited to: - Novel multi-hop wireless network architectures - Routing algorithms and protocols - MAC protocols, scheduling, power control and radio resource sharing - Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks - Middleware for ad hoc networks - Application driven architectures and protocols - Sensor network applications and protocols - Vehicular networks - Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks - Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes - Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16, IEEE 802.20, etc.) - Self organization and network reconfiguration - Optimization models and algorithms - Autonomic Communications: paradigms and algorithms - Resource and service discovery - Call admission and traffic shaping policies for ad-hoc networks - QoS support - Security and privacy PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================= The members of program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiOpp 2007]: Announcement and Call for Papers Datum: Wed, 14 Feb 2007 13:38:08 +0100 Von: Andrea Passarella <a.passarella(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Andrea Passarella <a.passarella(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Our apologies for possible duplicates of this message] ======================================================================== ====== CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking MobiOpp 2007 sponsored by ACM/SIGMOBILE in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2007 http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07 jointly organized by IIT-CNR, Italy UCLA, USA June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA Opportunistic Networks are one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of complete paths between data senders and receivers is released. Opportunistic Networks enable users' communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to- end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: INFOCOM 2007 High Speed Networks Workshop (Abstracts due March 5th) Datum: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 16:59:19 -0600 Von: Byrav Ramamurthy <byrav(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Dear Colleagues, Please find below the Call for Papers for the INFOCOM 2007 High-Speed Networks Workshop to be held on May 11, 2007 in Anchorage, Alaska. Thanks Nasir Ghani Byrav Ramamurthy TPC Co-chairs, High-Speed Networks Workshop ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE INFOCOM 2007 HIGH-SPEED NETWORKS WORKSHOP ============================================== Anchorage, Alaska, May 11th, 2007 http://iweb.tntech.edu/nghani/infocom/index.htm Sponsored by ------------ United States Department of Energy, Office of Science Technical Co-Sponsorship by --------------------------- IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on High-Speed Networking (TCHSN) IEEE ComSoc Optical Networking Technical Committee (ONTC) Several e-Science applications have already demonstrated the need for agile networks operating well beyond 100 Gbps. Moreover, current trends point towards the need for a sustained terabits/sec end-to-end throughput and unprecedented levels of scalability to accommodate the requirements of emerging applications in a broad range of domains, including entertainment, computational monitoring and steering, multi-scale simulation and combustion modeling, remote instrumentation, and network-based visualization. Several attempts have been made to address emergent bandwidth needs by deploying larger capacities in the network core. Increasing physical-layer transmission speeds, however, has not yielded dramatic increases in end-to-end user-level throughputs. Moreover, the limitations of current network protocols and traffic engineering frameworks have proven to be a serious impediment to large-scale deployment of distributed bandwidth-intensive applications. To overcome these limitations, there is a critical need for novel "clean-state" approaches which transcend the traditional methodologies, network architectures and protocols used today . This workshop is designed to provide a unique forum to explore new frontiers in the area of ultra high-speed and high-performance networks, not constrained by the features and limitations of current networks, with a particular focus on enabling large-scale distributed e-Science applications. The objective is to facilitate discussion and exchange of ideas among members research community centered on the design, validation and deployment of ultra-high speed network architectures and protocols to support the end-to-end requirements of bandwidth-intensive applications in a transparent and optimal manner. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Innovative "clean-slate" network architectures for next generation ultra-high speed networks * Switching technologies including packet, burst and circuit switching * Ultra high-speed transport protocols * Novel approaches and strategies for highly secure ultra-high speed networks, protocols and systems * Dynamic provisioning in ultra high-speed optical networks * Control and signaling plane technologies (GMPLS, UNI, NNI, etc.) * Application optimized network middleware * Novel protocols and mechanisms for large-volume data transfers over long distances * High-speed I/O and storage systems * Remote visualizations and instrumentation design and tools * Remote computational monitoring and steering tools and mechanisms Submission Guidelines Authors are encouraged to submit a two-page abstract in PDF format. All abstract submissions should be emailed to the TPC co-chairs at nghani(a)tntech.edu and byrav(a)cse.unl.edu and will be acknowledged. Authors will be notified about the selected abstracts and requested to provide final presentation slides and extended paper versions (up to 5 pages in length). These materials will be compiled on to CD format in advance of the event and distributed to the registered attendees. Additionally, the extended papers will also be published in the IEEE Xplore listings.

Symposium Datum: Sat, 10 Feb 2007 19:57:26 -0200 Von: Profa Mirela Sechi Moretti Annoni Notare <mirela(a)barddal.br> An: <researchers(a)mailman.ufsc.br> IEEE Globecom 2007 Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium - CALL FOR PAPERS 26-30 November 2007 Washington, DC, USA --------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Date: March 15th, 2007 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Co-Chairs Prof. Azzedine Boukerche, Email: boukerch(a)site.uottawa.ca Prof. Hussein Mouftah, Email: mouftah(a)site.uottawa.ca Prof. Hsiao-Hwa Chen, Email: hshwchen(a)ieee.org Scope Multi-hop wireless Ad Hoc and sensor networks are self-organizing systems formed by co-operating nodes within communication range of each other that form temporary networks. Ad hoc wireless networks allow anywhere, anytime network connectivity with complete lack of control, ownership, and regulatory influence. The last few years have witnessed a wealth of research ideas on ad hoc and sensor networks that are moving rapidly into commercialization and standardization. Such networks can be randomly and rapidly deployed and reconfigured and easily tailored to specific applications including entertainment, civilian, military, etc. Moreover, an ad hoc architecture is highly robust to node failure and can provide a high-level of fault tolerance due to nodal redundancy and its distributed nature. Furthermore, energy efficiency can be achieved through multi-hop routing communication. Bandwidth reuse can also benefit from dividing the single long range hop to multiple short hops with each hop having a shorter range. Several challenges face are standing in the way to achieving ubiquitous deployment of ad hoc and sensor networks. These include variable topology, device heterogeneity, limited power supply and the lack of effective energy-efficient design, lack of QoS and application support, etc. This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks. You are invited to submit original technical papers covering but not limited to the following topics.

New technologies are being used to provide improved support for elderly and home bound people in their homes and in assisted living environments. The overall goal of these initiatives is to improve the quality of life by providing customized support to people in need of assistance. The main challenge is to provide this support according to the user's own specific situation in a non-intrusive and respectful way. These new technologies enable the automation of the observation and support for elderly and home bound people through the use of sensors, actuators, distributed intelligence, databases, ubiquitous connectivity and friendly adaptive interfaces, all connected mainly via a variety of wireless networking technologies. The ultimate goal is a system that can adapt to the users needs, helping them get through their daily routine in a way that is effective in providing support where needed without making them feel humiliated by excessive attention. To provide such support, it will be necessary to combine efforts from many areas of computer science, including networking, distributed systems, security, data management, HCI, AI and middleware. Given the inherent use of mobile and wireless communication and the need for comprehensive distributed systems as well as the multi-disciplinary nature of solutions for healthcare and assisted living environments, the goal of HealthNet is to provide a forum for the cross-area interactions that will be necessary for successful systems and applications. The specific focus of HealthNet will be on understanding what it takes to provide effective systems and communication support for healthcare and assisted living environments. Although the systems and networking community is very good at providing effective solutions to satisfying application requirements, they require input from experts in other disciples, including HCI, middleware, security, privacy and social networking, to provide a more accurate understanding of the specific requirements for these environments. Therefore, HealthNet aims to attract researchers working on cross-disciplinary projects, with a focus on understanding and supporting the requirements of these complex applications. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the support of healthcare and assisted living environments. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Enabling technologies * Service and device discovery * Security and privacy * Reliability and fault tolerance * User and device localization * Resource management architecture * User data management * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Mobility and connectivity management * Cross-layer system architecture design * Human-centered Computing * Task and behavior analysis * Impact of user interface design on system design and management * Test-beds and simulations environments IMPORTANT DATES: ================ Paper submission deadline: March 23, 2007 (5PM US EST) Notification of acceptance: April 27, 2007 Camera ready version due: May 17, 2007 Workshop date: June 11, 2007 PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: =============================== All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 6 pages, double-column, with a font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. The first page of each paper should include the names and affiliations of the authors, i.e., the submissions should not be anonymous and reviewing is single-blind.

Opportunistic Networks enable users’ communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. For more information please refer to http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07.

These heterogeneous wireless communication architectures are mainly characterized by heterogeneous and resource-constrained nodes, restricted communication channels,highly dynamic environments,lack of any fixed infrastructure, and large scale network deployments that strongly vary in their density.These features and challenges,in turn, mandate intelligent, adaptive, autonomic,coordinated,self-organizing, and efficient processing and communication approaches to handle the complexity of these ambitious wireless systems. The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts. Natural biological systems intrinsically possess and exploit similar features by providing elegant and extremely efficient solutions for the challenges and tasks faced in their natural operation. It is of extreme importance to bridge the communication technologies with biological sciences and capture the analogy between these two distinct disciplines. To this end, solution strategies inspired by the biological systems have been recently proposed to address the challenges of many computing and communication systems. This special issue is dedicated to capture the state-of-the-art and the recent advances in the area of biologically-inspired computing and communication in heterogeneous wireless architectures such as wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor and actor networks. Papers describing mathematical models,algorithms, protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of computing and communication architectures that are inspired by and derived from biological systems are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools * Biological and bio-inspired computing, data processing algorithms * Joint bio-inspired data processing and communication * Embryonics-based fault-tolerant computing and communication * Bio-inspired network and communication algorithms and protocols * Novel applications and services inspired by biological systems * Experimental studies of bio-inspired computing and communications * Bio-inspired topology control and network reconfiguration methods * Bio-inspired localization, synchronization, mobility approaches * Evolution and self-healing of network architectures and protocols * Immune and self-healing network defense and information security * Bio-inspired nano-scale and molecular computing and communication * Bio-inspired distributed control and sensing of networked wearable and implantable medical devices Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective authors:Please submit the PDF of your paper, biographies and photos of the co-authors to http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc and choose Special Issue: Bio-Inspired Computing as the Article Type.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MobiOpp07]: Preliminary annoucement and call for papers Datum: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 17:45:28 +0100 Von: Chiara Boldrini <chiara.boldrini(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Chiara Boldrini <chiara.boldrini(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ================================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking MobiOpp 2007 http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07 co-located with ACM MobiSys 2007 jointly organized by IIT-CNR, Italy UCLA, USA June 11, 2007 Puerto Rico, USA Opportunistic Networks are one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy Mobile Ad hoc Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of complete paths between data senders and receivers is released. Opportunistic Networks enable users’ communication in disconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In this view, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks (DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures for opportunistic networks * (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks * Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CogNets @ ICC - 2007:Deadline Extended Datum: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 04:05:39 +0100 Von: <Vprasad(a)ewi.tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Referenzen: <D5D459C496383F4490DC103C3460200C5164A8(a)ewis05.ewi.local> *** We apologise if you receive multiple copies*** We received many requests for extending the deadline. We are extending the deadline though we already have a significant number of submissions. First IEEE CogNet Workshop "Towards Cognition in Wireless Networks", IEEE ICC 2007 Workshop 24 June 2007, Glasgow, Scotland, UK http://www.ieee-cognet.org <http://www.ieee-cognet.org/> Technical sponsorship: IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Technical Sub-committee on Cognitive Networks Important Dates: Full papers due: 13th February 2007, 11:59 PM EST (Hard Deadline) Acceptance notification: 5 March 2007 Camera ready version: 12 March 2007 Scope of the Workshop Recently we have been witnessing an unbounded growth in communication technology, in particular wireless devices have been proliferating. There is a serious demand for spectrum to support the communication needs of all these devices. At the same time, many researchers are developing methodologies to sieve the unused spectrum. There are already many solutions proposed under the 'Cognitive Radio' (CR) umbrella that address this issue. The efforts by IEEE 1900 Working Group and various researchers are blazing a trail in the direction of intelligently using the spectrum available locally for communication needs, making Cognitive Radio Networking (CRN) one of the promising candidates for future communication. They are usually in terms of architecture, sensing, optimization, resource allocation, cross layer issues, etc. However, an end user requires a system that is capable of intelligently finding and handling the available frequency band without compromising the QoS. Thus there is a need for the community to look at the whole issue holistically such that these solutions, results and proposals can lead to the rapid deployment of Cognitive Radio networking devices. CRN paradigm has been trying also to gain industrial relevance through the Cognitive Radio work done especially in the USA. The workshop aims to bring in together both long-term academic and shorter term industrial viewpoints. It is required to emphasize particular as well as general aspects towards CRN. The need is to bring together all the efforts resulting in a cohesive approach for CRN. This workshop aspires to provide a platform in this direction. We select, from the submissions, a set of papers discussing novel ideas that should not only analyze the issues in a CWN but also incorporate a clear direction towards the implementation of the CRN systems. This workshop brings together researchers, practitioners and the early proponents of CR. Since this workshop is held under the auspices of ICC, we expect many key persons in this field to be present. The workshop will be planned so as to allow more interactions amongst the participants rather than a conference would. Papers selected for publication will be published together with IEEE ICC 2007 proceedings and available on IEEE eXplore database. Topics of interest are (but not limited to): - Architectures for Hardware and Software defined CR; - Regulatory policies for non-centralized spectrum management; - Enforcement of policies for CR devices; - Pricing and billing for CR devices; - Authorization and authentication of CR devices; - Novel Dynamic/Opportunistic Spectrum Access techniques; - MAC and Network layer management in CR context; - Cross-layer optimization of CRWN; - End-to-End modeling of CRWN; - Security of CRWN; - Applications of CR, i.e., CR for Personal Area Networks; - Spectrum Sensing and Quality of Detection; - Signal Processing for CRWN; - Game Theoretical Analysis of CRWN - Error correction and coding for CR; - Test beds, Experiences of CR implementations. Submission Guidelines: IEEE CogNet Workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers in the area of Cognitive Radio and Networks. Prospective Authors are encouraged to submit a 5-page IEEE conference style paper (including all text, figures, and references) through EDAS submission system (http://www.edas.info <http://www.edas.info/> <http://www.edas.info/ <http://www.edas.info/> > ). (If you have any problems during submission, please contact: p.pawelczak at ewi.tudelft.nl <https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc> ). Accepted papers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors. The presenter must register for the workshop before the deadline given for author registration. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop proceedings and the program.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007)]
by Lars Wolf 01 Feb '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007) Datum: Wed, 31 Jan 2007 20:04:27 -0500 Von: Chunxiao (Tricia) Chigan <cchigan(a)mtu.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu (Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies.) ======================================================================= Call for Papers (deadline extended again till February 11) ---------------------------------------------------------- International IEEE Workshop on Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007) Toronto, Canada, June 29, 2007 In conjunction with the IEEE 27th International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2007) ---------------------------------------------------------- The Workshop, held in conjunction with IEEE ICDCS 2007, provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems. Rather than looking for one-size-fits-all general solutions in the are of ad hoc networking and systems, maybe in vain, we want to stimulate the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and system research. The goal is to provide sound, efficient specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS) suitable for building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual applications. Very popular MANETs, sensor networks, and P2P systems are perhaps the best known examples of extremely broad, though already specialized, subclasses of ad hoc networks. We prefer to include in the scope of this Workshop only more specialized varieties of MANETs, sensornets, and P2Ps, excluding their fully general kinds. Examples of SAHNS that we want included are vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), incident area networks (IANs), and opportunistic networks (oppnets). VANETs enable vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside networking. IANs are dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Oppnets react to a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed resources or services. They are suitable for many application scenarios, including but not limited to emergency response situations. We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad ho networks. For more details please visit the SAHNS web pages at: http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS/ or contact the Workshop Chair (llilien(a)cs.wmich.edu). We apologize for redundant messages. ======================================================================== _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
