CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE ICPS Workshop on Multi-hop Ad hoc Networks: from theory to reality REALMAN 2005
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/realman
jointly organized by: MobileMAN EC FET-IST Project University of Cambridge, UK CNR-Institute for Informatics and Telematics, I
in conjunction with ICPS 2005 http://icps2005.cs.ucr.edu/
July 14, 2005 Santorini, Greece
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submission Deadline: ***Extended*** May 9th, 2005. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
After almost a decade of research into ad hoc networking, off-the-shelf MANET technology has not yet affected our way of using wireless networks. To consolidate the field, it is now the time to constructing and experiencing with realistic and complete MANET solutions. Prototypes and measurements on real test-beds provide insights in the ad hoc technology behavior and fundamental information for a realistic tuning of simulation models (mobility models, link-level models, etc.). This workshop constitutes a unique forum for presenting and discussing experiences based on real ad hoc networks test-beds and prototypes.
Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols development and testing, in all areas related to ad hoc networking.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Ad hoc networks applications * System prototypes and experiences * Software technologies and systems * Mobile Ad Hoc Networks * Sensor Networks * Vehicular Networks * Mesh Networks * Routing and Transport protocols * Security and cooperation protocols * Middleware platforms for ad hoc networks * Ad Hoc Networking for ambient intelligence and pervasive environments * Situated and Autonomic Communications * Location services * Positioning and Tracking Technologies * Measurement studies * Mobility Models * Enabling Technologies Models (802.11, 802.15, etc.) * Experiment-based Social and/or Economic Analysis of Mobile Ad hoc Networks
DEMO SESSION A demo session will be held during the workshop, showing ad hoc and sensor network prototypes at work. Demo proposals are highly welcome, and will be evaluated ty the Program Committee. Please submit one-page demo proposal to the program chair (realman@iit.cnr.it) before May 1, 2005. The proposal should briefly summarize the research framework of the proposed demo. Please also state clearly what equipments will be required to set up the experiments. As a general rule, demo proposers will be in charge for all the equipment material required for the experiments. Please contact the program chair for particular needs in this regard.
PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Please submit your short paper via e-mail (PDF format is mandatory) to the program chair (realman@iit.cnr.it). We encourage the authors to format their papers according to the IEEE double-column standard format, except the font size, which must be Times Roman 11pt (or greater). Paper length must not exceed 8 pages, including figures, appendixes, bibliography, etc. Format templates and detailed instructions can be found at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/realman/authors.html ****************************************************************** High quality papers will be selected for possible publication on "Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks Journal (AHSWN)" http://www.oldcitypublishing.com/AHSWN/AHSWN.html ******************************************************************
