Call for Papers IEEE GLOBECOM 2005 Workshop 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Adaptive Wireless Networks (AWiN) November 28th, 2005, St. Louis, Missouri, USA http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2005//

Adaptation in mobile wireless networks is motivated by several factors such as time-varying channel conditions, network traffic, mobility, resource constraints, vulnerability to attacks etc. An adaptive algorithm/protocol makes decisions for the future based solely on past and current information. These decisions could be, for example, choosing the transmission band in a spectrum agile wireless network, user scheduling and/or routing depending on link and traffic conditions, wake-up/sleep decisions in a battery constrained sensor network etc. Adaptive protocols have been observed to improve the throughput, utilization and other performance factors.

The intent of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present their ideas on using adaptive/online/real-time algorithms for optimizing mobile wireless computing and networking. The topics of interest include (but not limited to):

Adaptive link layer error control Dynamic spectrum access Cognitive radio Online algorithms and competitive analysis Intelligent resource allocation (e.g., battery power-aware techniques) Dynamic routing protocols Mobility based adaptation Wireless security Application layer rate control (e.g., image/video streaming) Ad hoc and sensor network applications Adaptive scheduling algorithms Adaptive cross-layer optimization Middleware support Test beds, experimentation and standards
