Scope of the conference

WONS, now in its nineth edition, has established itself as a high-quality forum to address these challenges in the context of a workshop that is rich in intense interactions and based on innovative contributions by experts in the field.

This announcement solicits original submissions of high-quality research papers on "wireless on-demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling, performance evaluation, profitability models, energy efficiency, QoS models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, and Internet integration of wireless networks.

Topics related to all kinds of wireless on-demand networks comprise, but are not limited to:

* Architecture and design * Evaluation through simulations and experiments * Modeling * Integration and co-existence * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security, privacy, and trust * Novel applications and services * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Implementations and testbeds * Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols * Mobile peer-to-peer systems * Middleware aspects * Self-X and network management

*** This year, WONS will include the following special sessions: - Cognitive Radio and White Space: design and implementation of cognitive networks, spectrum access, usage of white spaces, regulation issues and use cases, network identification, security - Machine-to-Machine Inter-networking: strategic and technical challenges (architecture design, access layer, mobility, networking, security, services), role/interest of the industry, integration in future networks (vehicular networks, Psycho-Physical Systems, LTE-A)

*** Best Paper Award *** IEEE/IFIP WONS 2012 features Best Paper Award to award authors with superior quality paper submission to the conference. The award includes a framed certificate. The authors of Best Paper Award will be recognized in the conference.

Manuscript submissions

Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere and must not be currently under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit double-column full (up to 8 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages) as a PDF file in IEEE format with a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions and ongoing work with visionary, innovative ideas; accepted short papers will populate poster sessions at the conference and will be included in the conference proceedings. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Papers (including those destined to special sessions) must be submitted through the EDAS system. Conference proceedings will be included in the IEEE Xplore library.

Further submission instructions will be published on the conference web site.
