The Fifth Workshop on Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks WWASN2008 http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~softart/WWASN2008.html
A full day workshop held on June 20, 2008 in conjunction with the ICDCS 2008, The International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems June 17-20, 2008 in Beijing, China

SUBJECT Wireless ad-hoc networks are formed by a set of hosts or nodes that communicate with each other over a wireless channel. They operate in a self-organized and decentralized manner and message communication takes place via multi-hop spreading, wherein a packet is sent to its target node through a set of intermediate nodes that act as routers. Wireless networks and mobile computing research has until recently concentrated on single-hop networks such as cellular or satellite systems. However, multi-hop scenarios in which network nodes communicate via other network nodes, for example conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios, are rapidly becoming prevalent in practice. This workshop covers the area of ad hoc networking in single- and multi-hop scenarios, 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. It is the goal of this workshop to review ad hoc protocols and models and to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks. It seeks to provide up to date information on research and development activities in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. The workshop will also address the rapidly growing field of sensor networks, including (but not limited to) the issues related to their topology, routing, performance, data gathering and filtering, energy efficiency, and mobility.
The submitted articles will be carefully reviewed for quality and relevance. Each article will be reviewed by experts of the same topic. In the selection process, a comprehensive coverage will be sought, covering the most important topics such as (but not limited to):
- Key communication abstractions for ad hoc and sensor networks - Topology construction and maintenance - Physical, media access, and routing layers - Routing, broadcasting and multicasting - Energy-efficient protocols - Quality of service in medium access control and routing - Fault tolerance and redundancy schemes - IEEE 802.11 and 802.15.x-based medium access control - Hybrid networks and wireless internet - Models for analysis, performance assessment, mobility, and validation models - Methods and tools for ad hoc and sensor networks simulation - Heterogeneous networks and challenges in analyzing and designing them - Pervasive and wearable computing - Security, trust, and other security-related issues - Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery - Applications and history of ad hoc and sensor networks _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc@lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
