CALL FOR PAPERS - WONS 2011
The Eighth International Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services
Technically sponsored by IEEE COMSOC, IFIP, TCCC, and Euro-NF
January 26-28, 2011 Bardonecchia, Italy
http://conferenze.dei.polimi.it/wons2011/
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, 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 eighth 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, pricing and profitability models, 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 * Future wireless Internet solutions * Mobile peer-to-peer systems * Middleware aspects * Self-X and network management
Manuscript submissions ----------------------
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 papers (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.
Paper submissions are handled by EDAS http://edas.info/N9111; further submission instructions will be published on the conference web site.
Important dates ---------------
* Full Paper Submission: September 20, 2010 (extended) * Acceptance notification: November 15, 2010 * Camera-ready due: December 13, 2010
