CALL FOR PAPERS




CALL FOR PAPERS - WONS 2012

The 9th International Conference on Wireless On-demand Network
Systems and Services

January 9-11, 2012.
Courmayeur, Italy

http://wons2012.tlc.polito.it



SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE

As more and more users become increasingly dependent on wireless and
mobile communications, it is necessary to secure a reliable and
dependable technology support for "on-demand" services through any of
the wireless architectures that have been in development recently,
such as mesh networks, WiMax, WiFi, ad hoc networks, sensor networks,
vehicular networks, machine-2-machine networks, etc.

However, there are serious challenges to overcome, such as the
integration of infrastructure-based and ad hoc networks, robust
algorithms for self-organizing, reconfigurable wireless networks,
on-demand service models and their provision in a highly-volatile
interconnection environment, and smooth interoperability of
architectures.

WONS, now in its nineth edition, has established itself as a
high-quality forum to address these challenges in the context of a
workshop that is rich in intense interactions and based on innovative
contributions by experts in the field.

This announcement solicits original submissions of high-quality
research papers on "wireless on-demand networks" that provide novel
insights on protocol and network design, modeling, performance
evaluation, profitability models, energy efficiency, QoS models and
mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, and
Internet integration of wireless networks.

Topics related to all kinds of wireless on-demand networks comprise,
but are not limited to:

* Architecture and design
* Evaluation through simulations and experiments
* Modeling
* Integration and co-existence
* Social and economic aspects
* Pervasive and ubiquitous computing
* Localization and mobility management
* Security, privacy, and trust
* Novel applications and services
* Energy-efficient protocols and power management
* Implementations and testbeds
* Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols
* Mobile peer-to-peer systems
* Middleware aspects
* Self-X and network management



MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION

Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere and must not be
currently under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited
to submit double-column full (up to 8 pages) and short papers (up to 4
pages)
as a PDF file in IEEE format with a font size no smaller than 10pt.
Short papers should present future research directions and ongoing work
with visionary, innovative ideas; accepted short papers will populate poster
sessions at the conference and will be included in the conference
proceedings.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to
register
and present the paper. Conference proceedings will be included in the
IEEE Xplore library.

FOR MORE INFORMATION about the conference, organizing committee,
submission instructions, and venue please see the conference
