The fourth Med-Hoc-Net 2005 is a major annual international workshop in the Mediterranean region. It brings together researchers, technologists and visionaries from academia, research labs, and industry, engineers and students to exchange, discuss and share their experiences, new ideas and research about theoretical and practical aspects of ad-hoc networking. Med-Hoc-Net 2005 will include presentations of theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative ad-hoc systems, prototyping efforts, case studies, and advancements in technology directly affecting ad-hoc networking and communications infrastructures.

The papers solicited in Med-Hoc-Net 2005 cover a variety of topics including but not limited to:

- Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes, - Performance evaluation of ad-hoc network protocols through simulations, analysis, and measurements, - Metrology, Ad-Hoc network measurement Tools, - MAC protocols, scheduling, and radio resource sharing in ad hoc networks, - Power management and control, - Topology control, - Self-organization and network reconfiguration, - Unicast and multicast routing algorithms and protocols, - Energy-efficient communications in ad-hoc networks, - Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks, - Resource discovery and management, - Protocols for QoS support in ad-hoc networks, - Call admission and traffic shaping policies for ad-hoc networks, - Multimedia location services, - Security in ad-hoc networks, - Fault tolerance and error recovery, - Algorithmic challenges in ad-hoc networks, - Large scale ad-hoc networks, - Interconnection between ad hoc and wired networks, - Sensor networks: applications and protocols.

After Sardinia (Italy), Mahdia (Tunisia) and Bodrum (Turkey), this year the workshop will take place in another beautiful spot on the Mediterranean Sea: Ile de Porquerolles (France).
