IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Submission Deadline: May 1st, 2005 Notification of Acceptance: July 10th, 2005 Camera-ready versions due: July 24th, 2005 Panel and demo proposals due: August 1st, 2005

SCOPE ----- Ad hoc networks are self-organising, wireless systems, formed by co-operating nodes equiped with wireless interfaces. Communications among nodes which are not directly reachable, are carried out through multihop paths. Their topology is dynamic, decentralized and ever changing due to the arbritarily movement of ad hoc nodes.

We are interested in work in progress, experimental and theoretical research in Ad-hoc, Mobile and Wireless Networks. Topics of interest for which we are soliciting papers include, but are not limited to, the following: *Access control, scheduling *Ad hoc and sensor networks *Analytic methods and modelling for performance evaluation, optimization... *Auto-configuration *Incentives and pricing *Location awareness, discovery, dependence, and management *Mesh networks *New applications *Power management, power control, and energy-efficiency *Quality-of-service, resource allocation, multimedia *Routing (unicast, multicast, etc.) *Security and privacy *Service discovery *Systems and testbeds *Wireless Internet, and data management

PROCEEDINGS ----------- The proceedings of Ad hoc Now 2005 will be published by Springer-Verlag, as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LCNS) series. The best papers with a clear algorithmic content will be selected for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Discrete Algorithms.

PAPER SUBMISION INSTRUCTIONS ---------------------------- Authors should prepare a full paper not to exceed 14 pages in Springer Verlag LNCS format. This page budget must contain all figures, tables, and references. The paper should also include a brief abstract of up to 150 words, three keywords, and full contact information for the corresponding author. Submissions not in the appropriate format will be rejected without review.

All paper submissions will be handled electronically at the conference website.

PANELS AND DEMONSTRATIONS ------------------------- Proposals for panels that examine controversial or otherwise provocative issues are solicited. Panel proposals should not exceed 3 pages, including biographical sketches of the panelists. Potential panel organizers should contact the Panel Chair, S.S. Ravi (mailto:ravi@cs.albany.edu).

Proposals for demonstrations are solicited. Proposals should not exceed 3 pages and should include a description of the demo and equipment to be used. Potentialdemonstrators are requested to submit a proposal to the Demo Chair, Antonio Garcia Macias (mailto:jagm@cicese.mx).
