We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - LOCAN 2005 1st International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks
in conjunction with MASS-2005 (www.mass05.wpi.edu) Washington, DC, USA, November 7-10, 2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission deadline extended to July 7th.
SUBJECT AND SCOPE ----------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. The design of data communication techniques in multi-hop ad hoc networks has challenges at all layers of communication. This workshop concentrates on the network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.).
Additionally, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas by NSF. The area of sensor networking is gaining momentum within the researh community. This workshop will address ongoing research on this field, including problems such as: physical properties, sensor training, security through intelligent node cooperation, medium access, sensor area coverage with random and deterministic placement, object location, sensor position determination, energy efficient broadcasting and activity scheduling, routing, connectivity, data dissemination and gathering, sensor centric quality of routing, temporal message ordering, path exposure, tree reconfiguration, topology construction, and transport layer.
The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behaviour achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes.
The main objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *Medium access control *Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks *Hybrid networks and wireless Internet *Security in ad hoc networks *Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery *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 in ad hoc networks *Neighborhood discovery and mobility management
