CALL FOR PAPERS
ADHOCNOW 2009 The Eigth International Conference on Ad hoc Networks and Wireless
September 16-19, 2009 Murcia, Spain http://libra.inf.um.es/~pedrom/adhocnow/
Since its creation in 2002, AD HOC NOW has become a well-established and well-known international conference dedicated to wireless and mobile computing. It serves as a forum for interesting discussions on ongoing research and new contributions. The conference addresses both experimental and theoretical research in the areas of ad hoc networks, sensor networks, mesh networks and vehicular networks. It focuses on all issues from link layer up to the application layer.
IMPORTANT DATES ---------------
Paper Submission : March 27, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: May 20, 2009 Camera-ready versions due: June 7, 2009 Demo proposals due: May 3, 2009
SCOPE -----
We seek original contributions as work in progress, experimental and theoretical research in Wireless Sensor, Ad-Hoc, Mobile and Wireless Networks. Submissions must not be published or under review for another conference or journal. We are interested, but not limited to, research papers in any of the following areas:
* Access Control * Ad Hoc Networks of Autonomous Intelligent Systems * Algorithmic Issues * Analytic Methods and Modeling for Performance Evaluation * Ad Hoc Network Applications and Architectures * Delay-Tolerant Networking * Distributed Algorithms for Ad Hoc Networks * Energy Efficiency * Geometric Graphs * Location Discovery and Management * Mobile Ad Hoc Computing Platforms, Systems and Testbeds * Quality-of-Service * Routing Protocols (Unicast, Multicast, etc.) * Secure Services and Protocols * Sensor Networks * Self-Configuration * Service Discovery * Timing Synchronization * Vehicular Networks * Wireless Internet * Wireless Mesh Networks
PROCEEDINGS ----------- It is confirmed that the proceedings of Adhoc Now 2009 will be published by Springer-Verlag, as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
High-quality articles will be invited for an special issue of the Ad Hoc and Sensor Wireless Networks Journal (AHSWN).
PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ---------------------------- Authors are strongly encouraged to (but not required to) submit a 150 word abstract of their paper along with three keywords by the abstract submission deadline (March 22, 2009). Acceptable formats for the abstracts are plain text, postscript (PS) and portable document format (PDF).
Submissions should not exceed 14 pages (including a 150 word abstract, all figures, tables and references) in Springer Verlag LNCS format. Acceptable formats for papers are PS and PDF. Submissions which are not in the appropriate format will be rejected without review.
All papers will be reviewed for technical merit. Each accepted paper will be published in the conference proceedings, provided at least one author of the paper registers to present the paper at the conference.
All abstract and paper submissions will be handled electronically at http://senldogo0039.springer-sbm.com/AdHocNow2009/servlet/Conference/
WORKSHOPS --------- Several workshops are expected to be co-located with the main conference. The themes of the workshops are expected to be related to the technical areas of mobile and wireless computing. They will provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself.
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit workshop proposals to ADHOCNOW Workshop Co-chairs, Miguel Labrador (labrador@cse.usf.edu) and Ivan Stojmenovic (stojmenovic@storm.ca), no later than March 1, 2009. Submissions should be sent by e-mail to both co-chairs including the following information:
1. Name of the workshop 2. Description of goals, scope, previous history (if any), and why it is important in mobile and wireless networking. 3. Name and complete contact address of the organizers, including key workshop volunteers such as workshop chair, program chair, and tentative program committee members. 4. Description of the workshop requirements (projector, poster facilities,...). Preference will be given to those requiring a single meeting room (for simplified logistics).
For additional information, please contact the Workshop Co-chairs: Miguel Labrador (labrador@cse.usf.edu) and Ivan Stojmenovic (stojmenovic@storm.ca ).
SYSTEM DEMONSTRATIONS --------------------- Proposals for Panels and System demonstrations are also solicited. Proposals should not exceed 3 pages in LNCS format and should include a description of theme and panelists in the case of panels and a description of the demo and the equipment to be used in the case of demos.
Potential demonstrators and panel organizers are requested to submit a proposal in PS or PDF format both Panel and Demo Co-Chairs (Carolina Pinart, cpg@tid.es and Juan A. Sanchez, jlaguna@um.es) by May 3, 2009. Please include contact information (postal address, email address, phone and fax numbers) in the submission.
Accepted proposals for system demonstrations and panels will be allotted three pages in the proceedings, provided at least one author registers to present the demo/panel at the conference.
