CALL FOR PAPERS
IFIP/IEEE WONS 2009
The Sixth International Conference on Wireless
On-demand Network Systems and Services
(IEEE sponsorship pending)
February 2-4, 2009. Snowbird, Utah, USA
http://wons09.cs.ucla.edu
------------------------------------------------------------
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, 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 sixth 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 and performance evaluation, pricing
and profitability models, QoS models, practical
implementations, service level aspects and Internet
integration of wireless networks.
Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks, mesh networks,
vehicular networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not
limited to:
* Architecture and Design
* Analysis through simulation and experimental evaluation
* Modeling
* Internet integration
* Social and economic aspects
* Pervasive / ubiquitous computing
* Localization and mobility management
* Security
* Energy-efficient protocols and power management
* Applications and Service Support
* Data dissemination and Peer-to-Peer systems
* Middleware aspects
* Self-X and network management
Manuscript submission
---------------------
Submitted papers should not have been published before or
they should not be currently under review at another
conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit
double-column full (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages) in
PDF format. The font size should not be smaller than 10pt.
Short papers should present future research directions,
ongoing work, visionary and 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 if accepted. Conference
proceedings will be included in the IEEE Xplore library.
Further submission instructions will be published on the
conference web site.
