*Overview*
Wireless ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research community in the last several years. Now, that some of the fundamental issues and challenges have been clearly assessed, the focus is partially shifting to new issues, which include application scenarios (road safety, disaster recovery, sensors and actuators, etc.), autonomous organization and operation, optimization and control, and service creation and support. Moreover, new and exciting challenges are posed by closely related networks such as wireless mesh networks, sensor networks, and vehicular networks.
Med-Hoc-Net is a major annual international workshop, aiming to serve as a platform for researchers and visionaries from academia, research labs, and industry. Following Sicily (2006), Corfu (2007), Palma de Mallorca (2008), and Haifa (2009), Med-Hoc-Net 2010 will take place in Juan-les-pins (FRANCE).
*AIM and SCOPE *
The solicited papers cover a variety of topics related to ad hoc, wireless, sensor, and mesh networks, including but not limited to:
• Routing algorithms and protocols
• MAC protocols, scheduling, power control, and resource allocation
• Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks
• Middleware for ad hoc networks
• Application driven architectures and protocols
• Sensor network applications and protocols
• Vehicular networks
• Cognitive radio networks
• Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks
• Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes
• Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, 16, 21, 22, Bluetooth, ZigBee)
• Self organization and network reconfiguration
• Optimization models and algorithms
• Resource and service discovery
• Use of advanced antenna technologies (MIMO, beam forming, etc.)
• Security and privacy
• Cross layer design mechanisms
