The abstract must NOT contain any ITAR-related, classified, or proprietary information.
Abstracts will only be used to help define the sessions. The Unclassified Author’s Kit provides instructions to authors for preparation of the full and final manuscripts and the required forms. Full papers will be reviewed for acceptance only when all appropriate forms have been completed and received.
Classified Technical Program Submission Process:
All persons wishing to attend and/or participate in the Classified Technical Program must, at a minimum, possess a current Secret personnel security clearance and be a U.S. citizen. Non-U.S. originated papers will NOT be accepted for the Classified Technical Program. All abstracts for the Classified Technical Program must be unclassified. Please submit a title and a brief unclassified abstract (up to 2000 characters) of your intended paper via email to: casto.milcom2007(a)harris.com. Each submission requires author name, affiliation, citizenship, address, phone and fax numbers, email address, and the applicable area.

5th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks
April 16-20, 2007, Limassol, Cyprus
www.wiopt.org
Last day to reserve hotel room at Workshop's low prices: March 16, 2007.
Scope of the Symposium:
The design of wireless networks offers challenges not present in fixed networks: both the offered traffic and the network capacity depend on the mobility of the nodes. The designs should not only be functioning correctly, they are also expected to optimize the performance with respect to many criteria, such as energy efficiency, quality of service, and capacity utilization. This symposium intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working on optimization of wireless network design and operations. It welcomes different perspectives, including performance analysis, protocol design, wireless communication, and optimization theory.
Conference Program: Visit the conference website www.wiopt.org for the conference program as well as travel information.
Keynote Speaker: Prof. R. Srikant, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Adjunct Workshops:
Five one-day workshops will accompany the main WiOpt Symposium. Please check the conference website for more details:
* WiNMee/WiTNeMo 2007 : International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements
* RAWNET 2007 : Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks
* SPASWIN 2007: Spatial Stochastic Models for Wireless Networks
* CONCOM 2007 : Control over Communication Channels
* WNC3 2007 : Wireless Networks: Communication, Cooperation and Competition

Second IEEE Workshop on Networking Technologies for
Software Defined Radio (SDR) Networks
(Held in Conjunction with IEEE SECON 2007)
June 18, 2007, San Diego, California, USA
http://www.winlab.rutgers.edu/~wenyuan/sdr07/index.htm
Wireless systems have historically operated in relatively static frequency bands allocated to a single type of service. This compartmentalization of spectrum offered few incentives for common designs across frequency bands and limited opportunities for dynamic spectrum sharing. More recently, there has been a push to make more spectrum available, and in response there has been significant research towards developing new classes of cognitive radios and their associated protocols. Cognitive radios (CRs), or more generally software defined radios (SDRs), can tune their communication stack to take advantage of spectrum opportunities, adapt to a wide variety of radio interference conditions, and employ protocols that allow for collaboration between previously incompatible technologies. Dynamic physical layer adaptation is achieved by scanning available spectrum, selection from a wide range of operating frequencies, rapid adjustment of modulation waveforms and adaptive power co!
ntrol. A suitably designed cognitive radio with a software-defined physical layer would be capable of collaborating with neighboring radios to ameliorate interference using higher-layer protocols. These higher layer coordination protocols could range from etiquette mechanisms to fully collaborative multi-hop forwarding. The potential impact of cognitive radios upon both commercial and military wireless communications is great as they cou
allow for improved spectrum utilization and improved interoperability between wireless data standards.
The workshop builds upon the success of the First IEEE Workshop on Networking Technologies for Software Defined Radio (SDR) Networks. Although the potential for CR/SDR platforms is great, there remains a need for developing, testing, and prototyping the protocols that will allow the CR platforms to achieve their promise. The purpose of this workshop is to facilitate the exchange of cutting-edge research in cognitive radio and software defined radio technologies. The focus of this workshop is to explore the underlying networking and communication protocols needed to facilitate the interconnection of CR/SDR platforms. Since CR/SDR research is taking place across multiple communities, ranging from academic to government to industry, from physical layer to networking to hardware researchers, we intend for this workshop to serve as a forum for cross-pollination and collaboration that will accelerate the deployment and eventual success of CR/SDR platforms.
PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
All submissions must be full papers in PDF format. Papers should be sent by email to SDRWorkshop07(a)winlab.rutgers.edu. Papers must not exceed 8 single-spaced, two-column pages using at least 11 point size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages.

communication aspects of wireless mesh and sensor
networks
* Mechanisms for authenticated, secure communication and
data dissemination in sensor and mesh networks
* Algorithms and protocols to support quality of service
in mesh and sensor networks, including admission
control, resource allocation and fairness, and
capacity planning
* Integration of sensors into engineered systems,
including novel techniques for on-sensor renewable
power sources, mechanisms for on-sensor
self-calibration and self-testing, and efficient
schemes to maximize accuracy and minimize false alarms
* Hardware platforms incorporating multiple sensors,
computation, actuation, and wireless interfaces
* Software platforms, middleware, and tools for mesh and
sensor network applications development, deployment,
and management
Submissions should be in the form of an abstract describing the main
contributions of the poster/demo. If available, preliminary results
can also be included. Abstracts will be evaluated mainly based on
their potential to stimulate interesting discussions, exchange of
ideas and promote collaborations. Accepted abstracts will be
published in IEEE Xplore.
Up to three best posters will be given the opportunity to be presented
at the main conference. There will also be a best demo award and
a best poster award judged by a panel of academic and/or venture
capital participants.
Submissions should not be more than three pages (preferably IEEE
conference format, 2-column) in length. Demonstration submissions
should include the space requirements and/or any other
equipment-specific requirements. The documents must contain the
authors' names, affiliations, and contact information and the
designated corresponding author.
Accepted authors of posters/demos will have a space in the poster/demo
session room to display their posters or exhibit their demos and
describe their work in discussions with interested attendees.
IEEE Communications Society policy states that all accepted SECON 2007
posters/demos must have at least one registration at the regular
rate. For authors co-authoring multiple posters/demos, one regular
registration is valid for up to three presentations.
Submission will be accepted until 3/29/2007, 5 pm EDT for
demos and for posters. Please send the submission material to the
poster/demo chairs in pdf format, and make sure to include the first
author name and either POSTER or DEMO in the name of the pdf file:
