********* CALL FOR PAPERS - WONS 2012 *********
The Nineth International Conference on Wireless On-demand
Network Systems and Services
Technical sponsorship: IEEE, IEEE ComSoc, IFIP, EURO-NF,
TREND
http://wons2012.tlc.polito.it
January 9-11, 2012, Courmayeur, Italy
Scope of the conference
As more and more users become increasingly dependent on
wireless and mobile communications,
it is necessary to secure a reliable and dependable
technology support for "on-demand" services
through any of the wireless architectures that have been
in development recently, such as mesh
networks, WiMax, WiFi, ad hoc networks, sensor networks,
vehicular networks, machine-2-machine
networks, etc.
However, there are serious challenges to overcome, such as
the integration of infrastructure-based
and ad hoc networks, robust algorithms for
self-organizing, reconfigurable wireless networks,
on-demand service models and their provision in a
highly-volatile interconnection environment,
and smooth interoperability of architectures.
WONS, now in its nineth edition, has established itself as
a high-quality forum to address these
challenges in the context of a workshop that is rich in
intense interactions and based on
innovative contributions by experts in the field.
This announcement solicits original submissions of
high-quality research papers on "wireless on-demand
networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and
network design, modeling, performance
evaluation, profitability models, energy efficiency, QoS
models and mechanisms, practical implementations,
service level aspects, and Internet integration of
wireless networks.
Topics related to all kinds of wireless on-demand networks
comprise, but are not limited to:
* Architecture and design
* Evaluation through simulations and experiments
* Modeling
* Integration and co-existence
* Social and economic aspects
* Pervasive and ubiquitous computing
* Localization and mobility management
* Security, privacy, and trust
* Novel applications and services
* Energy-efficient protocols and power management
* Implementations and testbeds
* Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and
dissemination-based protocols
* Mobile peer-to-peer systems
* Middleware aspects
* Self-X and network management
Manuscript submissions
Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere
and must not be currently under review
by another conference or journal.
Authors are invited to submit double-column full (up to 8
pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages)
as a PDF file in IEEE format with a font size no smaller
than 10pt.
Short papers should present future research directions and
ongoing work with visionary, innovative
ideas; accepted short papers will populate poster sessions
at the conference and will be included
in the conference proceedings.
Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the
authors to register and present the paper.
Conference proceedings will be included in the IEEE Xplore
library.
Further submission instructions will be published on the
conference web site.
