Dear Colleagues,

Please find our initial announcement for CHANTS 2010. This year it will be colocated with ACM MobiCom/MobiHoc 2010

Fifth Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS 2010)

September 2010, Chicago, USA

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 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, 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. The goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement systems for effective and efficient communication in this diverse range of conditions.

This workshop builds on the success of the four previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results in the field of challenged networks. The workshop solicits papers and demos 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 * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life

Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work are encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable.
