Call for Papers
IEEE GLOBECOM 2005 Workshop
2nd IEEE International Workshop on Adaptive Wireless Networks (AWiN)
November 28th, 2005, St. Louis, Missouri, USA
http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2005//

Adaptation in mobile wireless networks is motivated
by several factors such as time-varying channel
conditions, network traffic, mobility,
resource constraints, vulnerability to attacks etc.
An adaptive algorithm/protocol makes decisions
for the future based solely on past and current
information. These decisions could be, for example,
choosing the transmission band in a spectrum
agile wireless network, user scheduling and/or
routing depending on link and traffic conditions,
wake-up/sleep decisions in a battery constrained
sensor network etc. Adaptive protocols have been
observed to improve the throughput, utilization
and other performance factors.

The intent of this workshop is to provide a forum
for researchers and practitioners to present their
ideas on using adaptive/online/real-time
algorithms for optimizing mobile wireless
computing and networking. The topics of interest
include (but not limited to):

Adaptive link layer error control
Dynamic spectrum access
Cognitive radio
Online algorithms and competitive analysis
Intelligent resource allocation (e.g., battery power-aware techniques)
Dynamic routing protocols
Mobility based adaptation
Wireless security
Application layer rate control (e.g., image/video streaming)
Ad hoc and sensor network applications
Adaptive scheduling algorithms
Adaptive cross-layer optimization
Middleware support
Test beds, experimentation and standards
