We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ********************************************************************
*PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS*
First IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on
*AUTONOMIC and OPPORTUNISTIC COMMUNICATIONS - AOC 2007* June 18, 2007 - Helsinki, Finland http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2007/
organized by *ANA and HAGGLE projects* funded by the FET-IST Programme in the area Situated and Autonomic Communications (SAC)
**** *Deadline --- January 21, 2007* ****
********************************************************************
We are faced with an era where the widespread use of small portable wireless devices and wireless technologies are building the pervasive vision. This pervaded world has generated new communication paradigms: autonomic and opportunistic communications. Communication among devices in a pervasive environment can happen if the devices can communicate autonomously, and manage their own evolution and configuration changes in the network, without explicit user or administrator action. In a pervasive world, even in the absence of any connectivity infrastructure mobile devices can communicate using the connection "opportunities" that arise due to mobility. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between the autonomic and opportunistic communication communities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic communications and computing are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment are particularly welcome.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Architecture and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks Adaptive security for self protection of networks Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic and opportunistic communications Mobility models for opportunistic networking Novel management techniques for autonomic and opportunistic communications Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing networks Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements
PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================= Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2007/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE.
