Med-Hoc-Net 2016 - The 15th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop 
TCS by IFIP and IEEE

Manuscript submission deadline: January 31, 2016

Venue: Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona, Spain

OVERVIEW                         
In the recent years the Internet evolution has undergone a remarkable and unstoppable 
change of trend, rooted on three main pillars,  new technologies (cloud computing, SDN , NFV; etc),
broad connectivity (3G/4G, VANET, etc.), and the
wide deployment of smart edge devices 
(smart phones, sensors, wearables , etc., all setting the main concept for the Internet of Things (IoT),
also encompassing scenarios such as smart cities, ITS (intelligent transportation systems), smart homes or e-health. 

MED-HOC-NET 2016 extends its focus far beyond traditional networking concepts, highlighting new networking concepts 
related  to the mentioned three main pillars developed for the future generation of network and cloud computing technologies. 

Med-hoc-net 2016 is willing to accommodate contributions on smart mobile scenarios, focusing on highly relevant developments 
but also preliminary ideas and concepts on the ICT area, aiming at facilitating the development of new technologies and services with a high societal impact.

Following recent successful conferences in Sicily (2006), Corfu (2007), Palma de Mallorca (2008), 
Haifa (2009), Juan-les-pins (2010), Favignana
Island (2011), Cyprus (2012), Corsica (2013), Slovenia (2014) 
and Algarve (2015), Med-Hoc-Net 2016 will be take place in the city of Vilanova i la Geltrú, 
located 30 km south from Barcelona right in front of the Mediterranean.
