Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission: September 8, 2008 Acceptance Notification: January 15, 2009 Camera-Ready Papers: March 1, 2009

Description ----------- Ad-hoc and sensor networks (AHSNET) are self-organizing systems formed by co-operating nodes that create a temporary network infrastructure. The key advantages of these networks include allowing anywhere, anytime network connectivity with lack of centralized control, ownership, and regulatory influence; their ability to operate unattended in harsh environments in which contemporary human-in-the-loop monitoring schemes are risky, inefficient and sometimes infeasible; and ease of reconfiguration to fit specific application needs. However, the resource-constrained nature of the employed devices and the self-organization of the network, coupled with an often unattended deployment of a large population of nodes, pose non-conventional challenges and motivate the need for special techniques for dependable design and management of AHSNET. The last few years have witnessed a growing interest in the application of AHSNET in fields such as emergency search-and-rescue operations, decision making during combat, data acquisition operations in inhospitable terrains, dangerous battlefields, outer space, or deep oceans, among others. Such interest has fueled a wealth of research ideas that are moving rapidly into commercialization and standardization. The ICC Symposium on AHSNET opts to bring together researcher and practitioners from academia and industry and foster a forum for discussing and presenting recent research results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
