-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Deadline is Approaching: IEEE Workshop on Delay Tolerant Mobile Networks (DTMN'06) Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2006 11:21:45 -0600 (CST) From: Dr. Hongyi Wu <wu(a)cacs.louisiana.edu> To: manet(a)ietf.org, <dtn-interest(a)mailman.dtnrg.org>, <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu>, <announce(a)tcos.org> ======================================================================== IEEE Workshop on Delay Tolerant Mobile Networks (DTMN'06) in conjunction with IEEE IWCMC 2006 ======================================================================== Objective: Mobile communication has experienced an explosive growth during the last few years. 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. Submission guideline: see details at IEEE IWCMC website http://www.iwcmc2006.cs.wmich.edu/.
