SAHNS 2009
The Second International Workshop on
Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems
Montreal, Canada, June 26, 2009
http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS2009/
In conjunction with the IEEE 29th International Conference
on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2009)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SCOPE
The Workshop provides a forum for engineers and scientists in
academia, industry and government to present their latest research
findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems.
As an alternative to one-size-fits-all general solutions in the area
of ad hoc networking and systems, we want to stimulate the
application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network
and system research. The goal is to provide sound and efficient
specialized ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS), suitable for
building solutions specific for well-defined classes of applications
or even individual applications.
We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized
ad hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc
networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of
specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad hoc
networks.
It should be emphasized that SAHNS is interested only in solutions
specific to specialized ad hoc networks and systems. The Workshop is
not interested in broad general-purpose solutions for all ad hoc
networks and systems, or in generic solutions for extremely broad
subclasses of ad hoc networks and systems. For example, the Workshop
is not interested in general-purpose solutions for all sensornets or
all P2P systems but is instead interested in specialized solutions
for their application-oriented subclasses.
One example of SAHNS targeted by this workshop are Incident Area
Networks (IANs), dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can
be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or
"nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for
an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or
a natural disaster. Another example are opportunistic resource
utilization networks (e.g., oppnets), in which the network reacts to
a lack of resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have
needed resources or services.
Areas and topics of particular interest include, but are not limited
to:
a) Design issues for SAHNS:
o Novel network and system architectures
o Economically-based models and solutions
o Operating systems and middleware
o Customized network protocols (incl. cross-layer protocols)
o Resource management solutions (incl. resource discovery)
o Algorithms and models for localization and mobility management
o Privacy, security, and trust
o Reliability and dependability
o Novel hardware platforms
b) Development issues for SAHNS:
o Development methodologies, models and tools
o Analytical and validation models
o Performance evaluation and modeling (incl. simulation tools)
c) Operation and management issues for SAHNS:
o Topology control and management
o Energy control and management
o Resource and service discovery and control
o QoS provisioning and management
o Data management, data aggregation, data dissemination, and
query processing
o Assuring survivability and reliability
o Controls for privacy, security, and trust management
d) Application issues for SAHNS:
o Best current and future applications for SAHNS
o Experience with SAHNS deployments and products
o Social and business impacts of SAHNS-based applications
2. PAPER SUBMISSION
Papers must be submitted in the PDF format, with numbered pages.
They should have no more than 6 pages following the IEEE Computer
Society proceedings format (8.5 by 11 inch sheets, double-column, 10
point or larger font, single-spaced).
The following information must be provided on the first page:
o Paper title
o Full names, affiliations and email addresses of all authors
o An abstract (up to 150 words)
o Five to ten keywords/phrases
o A footnote with the indication of the corresponding author,
plus the complete address, phone and fax numbers of the
corresponding author
Papers should be submitted by emailing them to:
llilien@cs.wmich.edu
Each received submission will be confirmed, usually within two
workdays.
3. PAPER REVIEW AND PUBLISHING
Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and their
comments will be provided to the authors.
If accepted, the paper will be published in the workshop proceedings
by the IEEE Computer Society Press, provided that at least one of
its authors registers for ICDCS (which includes SAHNS) by the early
registration deadline.
As all conferences published by the IEEE Computer Society's
Conference Publishing Services (CPS), ICDCS proceedings will be
indexed through INSPEC, the leading English-language bibliographic
information service for scientific and technical literature. ICDCS
proceedings will also be submitted for indexing to EI's Engineering
Information Index, Compendex, ISI Thomson's Scientific and
Technical Proceedings, ISTP/ISI Proceedings, and Current Contents
on Diskette (ISI Thomson).
We plan a special issue of an international journal with extended
versions of the selected SAHNS papers.
