********* 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

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.
