CALL FOR PAPERS
DIWANS 2006
2nd Workshop on Dependability Issues in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks and Sensor Networks
URL: http://www.iit.cnr.it/~diwans06/
Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE
In participation with IEEE Technical Committee on Fault-Tolerant Computing
To be held in conjunction with MobiCom 2006 (12th ACM International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking)
September 25, 2006
Los Angeles, California USA

MOTIVATION AND THEME
Widespread proliferation of wireless RF technology has brought the possibility of infrastructureless networking to the forefront. Infrastructureless networks include both wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks as important classes. Dependability issues such as reliability, availability, quality of service and security are made more challenging by the wireless and infrastructureless environment. Reliability and availability challenges include the varying characteristics of a wireless channel, which is subject to interference, fading, and multipath effects. General quality of service mechanisms become even more important due to bandwidth and other resource limitations. Challanges such as dealing with partitioned operation have led to new research areas such as delay-tolerant networking. The presence of mobile nodes in many of these settings complicates further the dependability issues. Clearly, these dependability challenges must be met before the full promise of ad hoc and sensor networks can be realized.
GOAL AND TOPICS
The main goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers to focus exclusively on the important topic of dependability issues in ad hoc and sensor networks, to outline its specific and unique research challenges, and to identify some of the most promising candidate solution methods and techniques to address those challenges.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Adaptive network protocols - Distributed algorithms for dependability - Network lifetime modeling and evaluation - Impact of mobility on dependability - Dependability case studies - QoS adaptation - Fault-tolerant and/or secure routing - Dependability techniques for resource constrained environments - Space-time routing - Network-level techniques for mitigating unreliable wireless links - Countering denial of service and energy-draining attacks - Dependable and secure services - Coverage and connectivity problems - Security against physical attacks - Data availability and consistency - Error-tolerant data aggregation in sensor networks - Handling network partitions - Delay-tolerant networking - Mobility-assisted routing
SUBMISSIONS
Papers should be written in English, must conform to the proceedings publication format (ACM Conference Style) and should not exceed eight pages, including text, references, figures and appendices. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. The paper must be submitted electronically in .pdf format through the EDAS submission system. Accepted papers will be published in the official workshop proceedings.
