====================================================

ACM MobiHoc is the premier international symposium dedicated to addressing challenges emerging from the design and applications of wireless communication networks. This symposium will be held in Hong Kong during the week of May 26, 2008. It will bring together researchers and practitioners from a broad spectrum of wireless networking research to present the most up-to-date results and achievements in the field. The symposium will include a highly selective technical program, hands-on research demonstrations, a distinguished keynote address, panels, and tutorials.

We invite paper, poster, and demonstration submissions on a variety of wireless ad hoc networks such as mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless mesh networks, wireless sensor networks, wireless personal area networks, vehicular networks, RFID networks, and hybrid networks including unmanned aerial vehicles and underwater unmanned vehicles.

The symposium solicits high-quality theoretical as well as practical works on a broad range of issues important to the design, performance control, and security of wireless ad hoc networks. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

- Transport, Network, and MAC protocol design - Cross-Layer Design and Control - Energy Efficiency - Modeling and Performance Analysis - Network control - Distributed algorithms - Computational Complexity and Approximability - Scaling Laws and Fundamental Limits - Network Coding - Optimization based techniques - Location Discovery - Functional Computation and Data Aggregation - Distributed Sensing, Coordination, and Control - Network Security, Privacy, and Trust - Resiliency, Fault tolerance, and Reliability - Quality of Service - System design and Testbeds - Measurements and Data Collection

The symposium especially encourages the submission of exploratory studies that identify new challenges in the network design, innovative services, and applications that may stimulate far-reaching future research.

This year's symposium will introduce a Best Paper Award among all the papers submitted to the conference.

=========================================================== SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All submissions will be handled electronically and must be in PDF format. Papers must not exceed 10 pages (US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. The font size must be at least 10 points. Accepted papers will be published in the symposium proceedings. All submitted papers would be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names must NOT appear in the paper or in the PDF file. Submitted papers must not be currently under review for any other publication. Instructions on paper submission and formatting are available on the symposium webpage. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs.
