Scope -------

The Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Symposium cover all topics related to ad hoc networks and sensor networks. A wireless sensor network is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed nodes with limited resources that can cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions at different locations. Each node is capable of computation, sensing, and communication. Challenges may be exacerbated by the presence of mobile nodes in the network. Such networks may consist of independent and isolated fixed devices that gather environmental data, which may be embedded in urban environments in order to facilitate actuation over managed resources, or may be fixed to and move with the object of interest. Ad hoc networks may exist in environments where there is no pre-existing communications infrastructure, and thereby organize to create their own. Ad hoc networks have been attracting great attention from the research and engineering communities, motivated by applicati! ons like digital battlefield, asset tracking, air-borne safety, situational awareness, and border protection. As we move towards a world that connects all things, these issues become ever more relevant. Dynamic topologies, bandwidth constraints, energy constrained operations, wireless vulnerabilities, and limited physical security are among the characteristics that differentiate mobile ad hoc networks from fixed multi-hop networks.

This symposium aims to provide a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. We solicit papers that present original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks. Topics include but are not limited to,

Applications and Evolutions of Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Implementation Challenges Novel Measurement Techniques Physical Layer Design of Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Frequency and Channel Allocation Algorithms Topology Control and Management Opportunistic or delay-tolerant communications Algorithms and Modeling for Localization, Target Tracking, and Mobility Management Time Synchronization in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Architectures of Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks MAC Protocols for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks QoS Provisioning in MAC and Routing for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Analytical, Mobility, and Validation Models for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Performance Evaluation and Modeling Integrated Simulation and Measurement based Evaluation of Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems New Simulation Languages, Methodologies, and Tools for Wireless Systems Analysis of Correctness and Efficiency of Protocols Data Management, Data Aggregation, Data Dissemination, and Query Processing Distributed Algorithms in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Pricing Modeling and Solutions Pervasive and Wearable Computing Co-existence Issues of Hybrid Networks Energy Saving and Power Control Protocols for Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Resource Management Algorithms in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Real-world Measurements or Test beds Cross-layer Design and Infrastructure Energy Efficiency Considerations on the Design or Implementation of Ad Hoc and Sensor Internet of things Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks Cognition in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Participatory sensing Crowdsourcing
