CALL FOR PAPERS Third IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC 2009) June 15, 2009 - Island of Kos (Greece) http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2009/
jointly organized by the
SOCIALNETS project funded by the FET-IST Programme under the FET proactive initiative on Pervisive Adaptation (PerAda) http://www.social-nets.eu
ANA project funded by the FET-SAC Programme in the area Situated and Autonomic Communications (SAC) http://www.ana-project.org/
Fast Track on Computer Communications Journal http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom
**** Submission Deadline --- 5 February 2009 **** ---------------------------------------------------------------
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum between the autonomic and opportunistic communication communities to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. The synergies between autonomic and opportunistic communications & social networks studies and technologies are one of the primary interests of this year’s edition. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications and are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployments are welcome.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Architecture and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Economic, biological and social models used for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Social networking technologies applied to autonomic and opportunistic communications * Tools and techniques for designing, analysing and building autonomic and opportunistic networks * Adaptive security for self protection of networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networking * Novel management techniques for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Sensing, monitoring and measurements for self-managing networks * Advanced technologies for enabling autonomic and opportunistic communications * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements * Algorithmic aspects associated with autonomic communications environments and problems
PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2009/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present their work at the workshop. Extended versions of workshop selected papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier).
IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Full papers due: 5 February, 2009 Notification: 23 March, 2009
