CALL FOR PAPERS

The Sixth Workshop on Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks WWASN 2009
- in conjunction with The International Conference on Distributed =
Computing Systems (ICDCS 2009),
June 22-26, 2009 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada

This workshop covers the area of ad hoc networking, from physical issues =
up to application aspects. In particular, it will cover physical, data =
link, network and transport layers, as well as applications, security, =
simulation and power management issues in sensor, local area, personal, =
and mobile ad hoc networks. It is the goal of this workshop to review ad =
hoc protocols and models and to reflect the latest in the state of the =
art in ad hoc networks. It seeks to provide up to date information on =
research and development activities in the rapidly growing area of ad =
hoc networks. The workshop will also address the rapidly growing field =
of sensor networks, including the issues related to their topology, =
routing, performance, data gathering and filtering, energy efficiency, =
and mobility. Topics of interest include (but no limited to):

* Applications and history of ad hoc networks
* Physical layer of ad hoc networks
* Pervasive and wearable computing
* Opportunistic spectrum access in ad hoc networks
* IEEE 801.11x, 802.15.x and other types of medium access control
* Methods and tools for ad hoc networks simulation
* Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks
* Hybrid networks and wireless internet
* Security in ad hoc and sensor networks
* Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery in sensor =
networks
* Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks
* Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks
* Quality of service in medium access control and routing
* Topology construction and maintenance
* Information processing in sensor networks and systems

Selected best papers will be invited for publication in a special issue =
of Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks journal.

Submission details

Papers should be submitted via email (glxing@cse.msu.edu and =
vmisic@cs.umanitoba.ca). Papers should be submitted as PDF files, using =
either the IEEE Computer Society proceedings format (two column, 10 =
point, single-spaced, US Letter, all margins no smaller than one inch). =
Include an abstract, five to ten keywords, the technical area(s) most =
relevant to your paper, and the corresponding author’s e-mail address. =
Number each page in the manuscript. While there are no page length =
restrictions on the length of submitted papers, please note that the =
paper length for accepted papers will be limited to six (6) pages with =
up to two (2) additional pages at $150 per page.

IMPORTANT: For each accepted paper, authors are required to submit at =
least one full registration for the ICDCS2009 conference. Accepted =
papers supported by at least one full registration will be published by =
IEEE Computer Society Press as part of the proceedings of ICDCS’2009 =
workshops.
