Wireless multi-hop
communication is envisioned in multiple scenarios where network nodes communicate
via other network nodes: conferences, hospitals, battlefields, rescue
operations, environment control, cars-to-cars, and monitoring scenarios.
Wireless mesh networks have been applied as alternatives for providing Internet
access in remote business and residential areas. Wireless sensor networks are
being deployed for several industrial control processes and for monitoring
environment. This conference aims to address multi-hop ad-hoc and sensor
networks systems, covering topics ranging from technology issues up to the
applications aspects. Original manuscripts that focus on the analytical
modeling, protocol/algorithm design, and/or experimental studies of the
following topics of interest are sought:
·
physical layer impact on higher level protocols
·
MAC protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks (802.11, 802.15.4,
UWB) Provisioning of wireless QoS in terms of bandwidth and delay assurance
·
Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast) and
routing metrics
·
Data transport in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
·
Power-aware and energy-efficient design
·
Topology
construction and coverage maintenance
·
Cross
layer design and optimization
·
Incentives and game theoretic approaches in wireless ad-hoc
networks
·
Localization and synchronization in wireless sensor networks
·
Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in wireless sensor
·
Reliability, security, and trustworthiness issues in ad hoc and
sensor networks
·
Operating
system and middleware support
·
Measurements and practical experience from experimental systems
and test-beds
·
Modeling,
analysis and performance evaluation
·
Mesh
networking
·
Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking
·
Handoff and mobility management and seamless internetworking
·
Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution wireless ad hoc
networks
·
Reliability, security, and trustworthiness issues in ad hoc and
sensor networks
