As more and more users become increasingly dependent on wireless and
mobile communications, it is necessary to ensure reliable and dependable
connectivity and support for "on-demand" services through new-generation
wireless technologies such as personal networks, mesh networks, WiMax,
ad hoc networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, and their
integration with the Internet, the cloud, and with legacy wireless
technologies such as cellular and WiFi.

There are major challenges to be addressed, including integration of
infrastructure-based and ad hoc networks, development of robust and
lightweight algorithms for self-organization, reconfiguration at all
layers of the protocol stack, on-demand service models and their
provision in a highly-volatile interconnected environment, and smooth
interoperability of architectures.

WONS, now in its tenth edition, has established itself as a high-quality
forum to address these challenges in the context of a conference that is
rich in interactions and based on innovative contributions by experts in
the field.

Topics related to wireless on-demand networks comprise, but are not
limited to:

    * New architectures for on-demand wireless systems
    * Intra-body and biomedical on-demand systems
    * Performance evaluation through simulations and experiments
    * Modeling, optimization, and game theoretic aspects
    * Integration and co-existence of heterogeneous technologies
    * Social and economic aspects
    * Pervasive and ubiquitous computing
    * Localization and mobility management
    * Content Centric networking
    * Mobile social networks
    * Network coding and end to end coding
    * Security, privacy, and trust
    * Novel applications and services
    * Energy-efficient protocols and power management
    * Cross-layer design
    * Implementations and testbeds
    * Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols
    * Mobile peer-to-peer systems
    * Middleware aspects
    * Self-X and network management
    * Cognitive radio networks
    * Green wireless networks

Venue
-----

This year's conference will be held at the Banff Park Lodge.

The conference will be held in the hotels Castle Meeting Room, with a
reception on Sunday evening for all Conference attendees. During the
conference, coffee breaks, as well as dinner on Monday and Tuesday, will
be included.

The town of Banff is located in Banff National Park between Sulphur
Mountain and Mount Rundle. At an elevation of 1,463 m (4,800 ft), Banff
is popular with winter tourists looking to ski the slopes of Sunshine
Village, Ski Norquay and Lake Louise Mountain Resort.
