OVERVIEW: Ad hoc networks, which cover a variety of network paradigms for specific purposes, such as mobile ad hoc networks,sensor networks, vehicular networks, underwater networks, underground networks, local area networks, personal area networks, home networks, etc., promise a broad range of applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas.

The aim of the annual International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (AdHocNets) is to provide a forum that brings together researchers from academia as well as practitioners from industry to meet and exchange ideas and recent research work on all aspects of ad hoc networks. AdHocNets¡¯09 is the first edition of this event, which will be held in Niagara Falls, Canada, in September 2009. The conference will consist of technical sessions, panels, and workshops. The technical sessions will present original and fundamental research advances while the panels and workshops focus on development and application issues in this hot field.

HIGHLIGHTS:

* Prof. Ian F. Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology, will deliver a keynote address. * The best papers will be considered for publication in Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal.

TOPICS: The conference solicits original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

* Mobile Ad Hoc networks * Sensor networks * Vehicular networks * Underwater networks * Underground networks * Local area networks * Personal area networks * Body area networks * Home networks * Network architectural design * Network protocol design * Cross-layer design * MAC, routing, and transport protocols * Resource allocation and management * Network control and management * Power control and management * Topology control and management * Quality of service provisioning * OFDM techniques * MIMO techniques * Service discovery techniques * Node localization techniques * Data aggregation techniques * Time synchronization techniques * Network scalability issues * Reliability and fault tolerance issues * Security and privacy issues * Applications for ad hoc networks * Performance modeling and analysis * Experimental prototypes and testbeds

PANELS AND WORKSHOPS: We solicit panel and workshop proposals on hot and controversial topics in ad hoc networks. Proposals should be submitted to the panel and workshop co-chairs, respectively. Please visit the conference website for detailed instructions.

PAPER SUBMISSION: Please visit the conference website (http://www.adhocnets.org) for detailed instructions.

Paper Publication: All submitted papers will go through a peer-review process. All accepted papers will be included in the Proceedings of AdHocNets 2009. The best papers will be considered for publication in Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal.
