Call for papers for the Ninth Workshop on Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks WWASN2012 (http://www.scs.ryerson.ca/~vmisic/WWASN2012.html) A full day workshop held on in conjunction with the ICDCS 2012 (http://icdcs-2012.org/) The 32nd International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems June 18-21, 2012 in Macau, China
This workshop covers the area of wireless ad hoc and sensor 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. We also solicit papers that deal with recently introduced issues such as multi-hop scenarios, cognitive communications, energy efficiency and green networking. The workshop will address all issues related to sensor networks, vehicular access networks, and other emerging ad hoc wireless networks, including (but not limited to) the following: - Novel applications of ad hoc and sensor 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 and sensor networks - Green communications in the context of ad hoc and sensor 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 Int. Journal of Parallel, Emergent, and Distributed Systems (Taylor & Francis).
Submission details Papers should be submitted via email to workshop co-chairs (wkui@ieee.org, vmisic@scs.ryerson.ca). Papers should be submitted as PDF files, using the IEEE Computer Society proceedings or equivalent format (two column, 10 point, single-spaced, US Letter, no margin smaller than one inch). Include an abstract, five to ten keywords, technical area(s) most relevant to your paper, and the corresponding author's e-mail address. Number each page in the manuscript. There are no page length restrictions on the length of submitted papers, but the paper length for accepted papers will be determined by IEEE. IMPORTANT: For each accepted paper, authors are required to submit at least one full registration for the ICDCS2012 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'2012 workshops.
Timetable Manuscript Submission December 24, 2011 Acceptance Notification February 07, 2012 Final Manuscript Due at IEEE (as per IEEE instructions)

Workshop Program TBD
History During ICDCS-2003 (Providence, RI), Ivan Stojmenovic and Jingyuan Zhang have organized a workshop called MWN (Workshop on Mobile and Wireless Networks). A total of 60 papers from 17 different countries had been submitted to the workshop. A total of 32 papers were selected for presentation. Approximately half of the papers were dealing with wireless ad hoc networks, which is why subsequent workshops were focusing specifically on wireless ad hoc networks. WWAN2004 was held during ICDCS-2004 (Tokyo, Japan); it was organized by David Simplot-Ryl and Ivan Stojmenovic. In response to the Call for Papers, 42 papers from 20 different countries had been submitted, 21 of which were selected for presentation at WWAN 2004. WWAN2005 was held during ICDCS-2005 (Columbus, OH); it was organized by David Simplot-Ryl and Ivan Stojmenovic. In response to the Call for Papers, thirty papers from twelve different countries had been submitted, and twelve best ones have been selected for inclusion in the workshop. WWASN2006 was held in conjunction with ICDCS2006 in Lisbon, Portugal, with 13 papers accepted out of 26 submitted; it added Sensor Networks as one of its main foci. In addition to the more traditional areas of routing, topology control, and coverage, the scope of the submissions has also included issues related to mobility, applications, and security. WWASN2007 was held in conjunction with ICDCS2007 in Toronto, ON, with 12 papers accepted out of 33 submissions. It also featured a keynote speech by Dr. Sharokh Valaee of University of Toronto. WWASN2008 was held during ICDCS2008 in Beijing, China, with 15 papers accepted out of 33 submissions. WWASN2009 was held during ICDCS2009 in Montreal, Canada, in June 2009, with 17 papers accepted out of 37 submissions. WWASN2010 was held during ICDCS2010 in Genoa, Italy, with 12 papers accepted out of 30+ submissions. WWASN2011 was held during ICDCS2011 in Minneapolis, MN, with 9 papers accepted from nearly 30 submissions, and a keynote speech by Dr. Tian He from University of Minnesota.
