**CALL FOR PAPERS**

SPECIAL SESSION on "Bio-inspired Wireless Networks" Part of 2008 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (SPECTS 2008)

June 16-18, 2008, Edinburgh, UK

http://atc.udg.edu/SPECTS2008/

SCOPE AND TOPICS:

With the increasing complexity of wireless networks, the task of network management is becoming more and more difficult to handle. Wireless networks are becoming too complex for even the most skilled system integrators to install, configure, and maintain. Therefore it is desirable that they would be fully autonomic -- able to manage themselves following high level objectives defined by network administrators. This goal implies a need for distributed computational environments that would function with often very limited resources such as bandwidth, energy, or processing capability of wireless devices.

Nature has demonstrated itself to be efficient in dealing with many of these limitations, often in a more efficient way than the human-designed counterparts. Therefore there has been significant interest in applying ideas based on natural systems in the wireless communications domain.

This special session aims at bringing together contributions that apply ideas inspired by natural systems to wireless networks. It will address leading edge research ranging from theory to experimental evaluation and tools. The topics include but are not limited to:

o Self-adaptive and self-tuning wireless networks. Autonomic networks.

o Learning algorithms inspired by neuro-physiology.

o Algorithms for securing wireless networks including approaches based on evolution or immunity.

o Network algorithms based on genetics.

o Network epidemics.

o Bio-inspired protocols design including bio-inspired routing or bio-inspired cognitive radio.

o Experimental case studies, test beds and tools.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Submission of papers: January 25, 2008 Notification of Acceptance: March 21, 2008 Final Camera-Ready Submission Due: April 18, 2008

The deadlines for paper submission and acceptance notification follow the deadlines set by the SPECTS conference.

SUBMISSION:

Authors are invited to submit technical papers through the conference web site. All submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Formatting details can be found under "Paper Submission" on the SPECTS 2008 web site. All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings.
