The New deadline IS ******** J U L Y 15th ************* NEW WEB SITE ********************* http://www-rp.lip6.fr/medhocnet/ ********************* The First Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop,Med-hoc-Net 2002, sponsored by IFIP, will take place in Hotel Chia Laguna ( http://www.hotelchialaguna.com ), Sardegna, Italy, Sept4-6,2002. The aim of the Med-hoc-Net Workshop is to bring together researchers from both sides of the Atlantic (and Pacific) to the shores of the Mediterranean sea. The Workshop will serve as a forum for ad hoc network technologists and visionaries from academia, industry and research labs, to present current research, advanced technology, ongoing prototyping efforts, experience reports, case studies, and descriptions of innovative ad hoc systems. Each offering of the Workshop will have a different theme. The specific theme this year will be “Quality of Service” in ad hoc networks. The best papers will be published in a special issue of the ACM WINET Journal Invited speaker: Leonard Kleinrock(UCLA) Topics will include (but are not limited to) : QoS-Oriented multi-hop mobile network architectures, Intserv, Diffserv, MPLS etc. protocols over AdHoc networks QoS support in Bluetooth, HomeR, HIPERLAN, IEEE 802.11 etc. Multimedia applications Middleware for support in Ad Hoc networks and real-time transports over Ad Hoc networks Unicast and multicast routing in ad hoc multi-hop wireless networks Resource discovery and network reconfiguration Multimedia location services Scheduling, radio resource sharing and MAC protocols for multi hop networks Call admission and traffic control policies for ad hoc networks Power management and control algorithms Fault tolerance and error recovery Interconnection between Ad Hoc and wired networks Congestion control Ad Hoc TCP implementations Fair sharing between different traffic classes Performance evaluation of QoS-oriented protocols, middleware and applications via measurement, analytical models or simulation QoS enabling ad hoc network prototypes Signal processing algorithms (coding, compression) for Ad Hoc networks Security in Ad Hoc networks General Chairs : Mario Gerla and Guy Pujolle Technical Program Chair : Khaldoun Al Agha (LRI, France) Technical Program Committee : Arve Aagesen Norvegian University, Norway) Hossam Afifi (INT, France) Ian Akyildiz (Georgia Tech, USA) Khaldoun Al Agha(LRI, France) Hamid Aghvami (King's College London, UK) Roberto Battiti (University of Trento, Italy) Elizabeth Belding-Royer (UCSB, USA) Raouf Boutaba (Waterloo, Canada) Otto Duarte (UFRJ, Brazil) Anne Fladenmuller (LIP6, France) Jean-Pierre Hubaux (EPFL, Switzerland) Philippe Jacquet (INRIA, France) Farouk Kamoun (ENSI, Tunis, Tunisia) Parviz Kermani (IBM, USA) Ulf Körner(Lund University, Sweden) Gérard Le Lann (INRIA, France) Daniela Maniezzo (UCLA, USA) Gianluca Mazzini (University of Ferrara, Italy) Lazaros Merakos (University of Athens, Greece) Guy Omidyar (CWC, Singapure) Sergio Palazzo (University of Catania, Italy) Giovanni Pau (UCLA, USA) Kimmo Raatikainen (Univ. of Helsinki, Finland) Tomas Robles (Univ. of Madrid – DIM, Spain) Jan Slavik (Testcom,CZ) Sami Tabbabe (Sup Com) Samir Tohmé (ENST, France) Franco Vatalaro (University of Rome) Bernhard Walke (Univ of Aachen, Germany)
