*The 13th IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Local Networks (WLNs) *
Held in conjunction with the *38th IEEE Conference on Local Computer
Networks (LCN)*, 21-24 October, 2013, Citigate Central, Sydney, Australia
Wireless Local Networks (WLNs) play a key role in a plethora of domains.
>>From smart phones to smart cities, applications spanning our engaging
planet boost the impact of IT on
our daily lives. WLNs present many unique and dynamic challenges, yet their
utilization is on a rapid rise. As a technology, the combination of
relatively low costs and ease of deploy-ment has led many communities to
rely on local wireless infrastructures. Those encompassing the Internet of
Things (IoT), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) networks, Clouds of
Sensing (CoS), and Software Defined Networks (SDNs), which form a
significant evolution towards Next Generation Networks (NGNs) in its global
scope. However, the rapid pace of
their deployment and utilization have rarely adequately addressed up front
caveats; including planning and ongoing support requirements. This can
manifest in degraded levels of
service and significant sustainability exposures, dramatically increasing
failure rates of user adoption and seamless usage. In its 13th year, the
WLN workshop will focus on how such
wireless networks can be resilient, while maintaining the promised high
levels of service quality in NGNs. We consider design and implementation
dimensions in WLNs that will ena-ble change phase towards NGNs and
demonstrate added utility in providing sustainable global communication
networks. WLN this year will feature multiple special sessions with
the following list of non-exclusive topics of interest:
- *RFID networks in the IoT.*
- Planning of RFID networks.
- RFID scalable anti-collision protocols.
- Localization of RFID-tagged objects.
- *Software Defined Networks (SDN) in Dynamically Changing Environments.
*
- Integration and coexistence issues towards NGNs.
- New paradigms like Information Centric Networks (ICN) and their
relation with SDN.
- Practical experiments on SDN based testbeds.
- *QoS constrained Clouds of sensors over WLNs: Do they scale?*
- Wireless multihop networks, including mesh, ad hoc and sensor networks.
- Locally distributed sensor networks towards a global CoS.
- Protocol design, including cross-layer and opportunistic approaches.
- *Resource management in M2M communications.*
- Resource management functionalities (CAC, reservation, scheduling,
etc.)
- Cognitive radios and dynamic spectrum assignments.
- Performance evaluation, including analytical and simulation
approaches.
*Important Dates*
Paper Submission - May 12th, 2013
Notification of acceptance - June 30th, 2013
Camera-ready copy due - July 30th, 2013
*Submission Guidelines*
We seek original contributions that have neither been previously published
or currently under review. Authors can submit in any of the aforementioned
special sessions a full paper
(up to 8 pages) that describes complete works in a self-contained manner
with the intent to give an oral presentation. All accepted submissions will
be published in the LCN13 proceedings and the ieee:Xplore portal.
