===== CALL FOR PAPERS ==== The Sixth Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS 2011) Co-located with ACM MobiCom 2011, 23 September 2011, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA http://chants2011.ee.ethz.ch/_____________________________________________ Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by intermittent connectivity, a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, underwater networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks may also be found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. We solicit papers addressing the following topics: - Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) - Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks - Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use - Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols - Applications in challenged networks (disaster relief and emergency management, vehicular networks, ...) - Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks - Security/Privacy concerns and solutions in challenged networks - Real-world mobility traces of challenged environments - Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems - Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Important dates: --------------------- Abstract Registration: 6 May 2011 Submission Deadline: 13 May 2011 Acceptance notification: 28 June 2011 We look forward to receiving your submission, -- Ahmed Helmy and Franck Legendre Chants'11 TPC Co-Chairs_____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
