CALL FOR PAPERS

Med-Hoc-Net 2016 - The 15th IFIP Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop TCS by IFIP and IEEE

Manuscript submission deadline: January 31, 2016

Venue: Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona, Spain Date: June 20-22, 2016 Website: http://www.craax.upc.edu/medhocnet2016/

————————————————————————————————

OVERVIEW In the recent years the Internet evolution has undergone a remarkable and unstoppable change of trend, rooted on three main pillars, new technologies (cloud computing, SDN , NFV; etc), broad connectivity (3G/4G, VANET, etc.), and the wide deployment of smart edge devices (smart phones, sensors, wearables , etc., all setting the main concept for the Internet of Things (IoT), also encompassing scenarios such as smart cities, ITS (intelligent transportation systems), smart homes or e-health.

MED-HOC-NET 2016 extends its focus far beyond traditional networking concepts, highlighting new networking concepts related to the mentioned three main pillars developed for the future generation of network and cloud computing technologies.

Med-hoc-net 2016 is willing to accommodate contributions on smart mobile scenarios, focusing on highly relevant developments but also preliminary ideas and concepts on the ICT area, aiming at facilitating the development of new technologies and services with a high societal impact.

Following recent successful conferences in Sicily (2006), Corfu (2007), Palma de Mallorca (2008), Haifa (2009), Juan-les-pins (2010), Favignana Island (2011), Cyprus (2012), Corsica (2013), Slovenia (2014) and Algarve (2015), Med-Hoc-Net 2016 will be take place in the city of Vilanova i la Geltrú, located 30 km south from Barcelona right in front of the Mediterranean.

TOPICS Papers are solicited in a variety of topics related to IoT, ad hoc, wireless and sensor networks, green technologies, social networks, network protocols and algorithms, including but not limited to: -Cloud and fog computing -Internet of Things -Smart cities -Sensor network applications and protocols -Vehicular networks -Security and privacy -Participatory and urban sensing -Underwater wireless networks -Heterogeneous networks -Green networking -Cooperative schemes -Network localization -Networking virtualization -Services based, and enabled by Ad Hoc networks -Routing algorithms and protocols -MAC protocols, scheduling, power control, and resource allocation -Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks -Middleware for Ad Hoc networks -Application driven architectures and protocols -Cognitive radio networks -Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks -Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes -Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16, etc.) -Self organization and network reconfiguration -Resource and service discovery -Security and privacy -Delay tolerant networks -Exploitation of social and mobility patterns for opportunistic networking -Mobile social networks
