Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of the CFP. -------------------------------------------------------- The First ACM International Workshop on Foundations of Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking and Computing (FOWANC 2008)
In conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2008 May 26 or 30, 2008 Hong Kong SAR, CHINA
IMPORTANT DATES Submission of Papers: 10 February 2008 Notification of Acceptance: 18 March 2008 Final version: 28 March 2008
CONFERENCE THEME Recent research in a variety of wireless ad hoc networks, such as mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless mesh networks, wireless sensor networks, wireless personal area networks, vehicular networks, RFID networks, and hybrid networks, raises a number of interesting, and difficult, theoretical and algorithmic issues. This workshop is devoted to distributed algorithms and theoretical methods
in the context of mobile ad hoc and sensor networking and computing. The workshop is intended to foster cooperation among researchers in mobile ad hoc and sensor networking and theoreticians in algorithm and theory, and push the theoretical research forward for a deeper understanding about ad hoc and sensor networking and computing.
This workshop covers the all areas of ad hoc and sensor networking and computing, from physical issues up to applications, with a focus of theoretical and algorithmic aspect. In particular, it will cover distributed algorithms, optimizations, analysis and modeling, randomized algorithms, mechanism design, and theoretical methods in ad hoc and sensor networking and computing.
Typical topics include (but not limited to):
Channel assignment and management Coding theory and network coding Cryptography, security and privacy Distributed algorithms Dynamic and random networks Dynamic graph algorithms Energy conservation methods and protocols Localization and location tracking Mechanism design and game theory Modeling and complexity analysis Routing, multicast and broadcast Scheduling Selfish behavior and cooperation Synchronization Protocol optimization
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS FOWANC 2008 will only accept electronic on-line submissions. Detailed instructions can be found in the workshop web page. Accepted papers will be published by ACM. Simultaneous submissions to other conferences with published proceedings are not allowed.
