EMNs 2009 CFP
The First International Workshop on Emerging Mobile Networks
(EMNs'2009)
19-21 August 2009, Indianapolis, USA
To be held in conjunction with:
The 12th International Conference on Network-Based Information Systems (NBiS 2009)
Scope
Mobility is rapidly turning out to be a critical component of many next generation systems. Chief among these include Mobile Vehicular Networks, Mobile Social Networks, Mobile Sensor Networks, Next Generation Cellular Networks among others. While mobility itself has been a well studied topic, the emphasis has for a long time centred around the theme of Mobile AdHoc Networks (MANETs). Unfortunately, many of the assumptions in traditional MANETs including mobility models, purpose/ scope of mobility, social aspects, network scale, and security do not hold in many emerging mobile networks. Consequently, existing theories, architectures and protocols in traditional MANETs for issues like mobility models, data delivery, data management, security, privacy etc. are clearly not enough for emerging mobile networks, and need a ground-up redesign. Furthermore, a vast number of newer problems are emerging in such networks like vehicular safety, fairness in content sharing, mobility centric threats and countermeasures, and newer application paradigms that have hitherto not been explored in sufficient detail.
The goal of this workshop is to provide a technical forum for researchers, practitioners and students to disseminate and exchange original research ideas on important topics in a wide class of emerging mobile networks.
Topics of interest
We are soliciting original and unpublished research papers on a broad spectrum of topics in the following areas including (but not limited to):
Mobility models for emerging mobile networks
Cross Layer Optimizations
Security and Privacy
Content Sharing and Management
Intra and Inter Vehicular Communications
Next generation Cellular Networks
Social aspects
Intelligent transportation systems
New Applications for mobile networking
Simulation, Emulation and testbeds for large-scale mobile networks
Performance, scalability, reliability and efficiency of mobile networks
Mobility Centric threats and countermeasures
Paper Submission Guideline
Submit a full paper with 6 pages (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. The papers will be carefully evaluated based on relevance, originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Authors can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at the following web page: URL: http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm
EMNs-09's submission web site can be accessed at: http://sun0.cs.uca.edu/~EMNs
Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance. The proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. At least one of the authors of accepted papers is required to register and present the work at the workshop; otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital library after the workshop.
