CALL FOR PAPERS
The Sixth Workshop on Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks WWASN 2009 - in conjunction with The International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2009), June 22-26, 2009 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada
This workshop covers the area of ad hoc networking, from physical issues up to application aspects. In particular, it will cover physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as applications, security, simulation and power management issues in sensor, local area, personal, and mobile ad hoc networks. It is the goal of this workshop to review ad hoc protocols and models and to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks. It seeks to provide up to date information on research and development activities in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. The workshop will also address the rapidly growing field of sensor networks, including the issues related to their topology, routing, performance, data gathering and filtering, energy efficiency, and mobility. Topics of interest include (but no limited to):
* Applications and history of ad hoc networks * Physical layer of ad hoc networks * Pervasive and wearable computing * Opportunistic spectrum access in ad hoc networks * IEEE 801.11x, 802.15.x and other types of medium access control * Methods and tools for ad hoc networks simulation * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless internet * Security in ad hoc and sensor networks * Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance * Information processing in sensor networks and systems
Selected best papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks journal.
Submission details
Papers should be submitted via email (glxing@cse.msu.edu and vmisic@cs.umanitoba.ca). Papers should be submitted as PDF files, using either the IEEE Computer Society proceedings format (two column, 10 point, single-spaced, US Letter, all margins no smaller than one inch). Include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the technical area(s) most relevant to your paper, and the corresponding author's e-mail address. Number each page in the manuscript. While there are no page length restrictions on the length of submitted papers, please note that the paper length for accepted papers will be limited to six (6) pages with up to two (2) additional pages at $150 per page.
IMPORTANT: For each accepted paper, authors are required to submit at least one full registration for the ICDCS2009 conference. Accepted papers supported by at least one full registration will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press as part of the proceedings of ICDCS'2009 workshops.
