[Tccc] [ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiOpp 2010]: Call for Papers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile
Opportunistic Networking
MobiOpp 2010

February 22-23, 2010, Pisa, Italy

sponsored by ACM/SIGMOBILE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Opportunistic Networking is one of the emerging communication paradigms
in wireless mobile communications.
Opportunistic networks are commonly defined as a type of challenged
networks where communication opportunities
are based on sporadic and intermittent contacts, disconnections and
re-connections may frequently occur, and
the assumption on the existence of an end-to-end path between the source
and the destination is released.
As compared to the legacy MANETs, where an always-connected
infrastructure-less network is assumed, opportunistic
networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, where
devices (with sensing capabilities)
are carried while users move, and can connect and disconnect
continuously relying their communication chances
on a store-carry-and-forward approach. The aim of MobiOpp 2010 is to
bring together researchers working in this
emerging area, thus also providing a reference event for those working
on self-organizing wireless mobile
networks which usually exploit the opportunistic communication paradigm.
In this workshop we aim to explore
novel research issues related to all aspects of opportunistic networks.

Original contributions are solicited, being related to systems and
protocols design, development and analysis,
in all areas of Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:

* Novel architectures
* Routing protocols
* Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks
* Resource management techniques
* Dissemination and replication techniques
* Opportunistic networking in P2P systems
* Social-aware opportunisitc networking
* Middleware services in opportunistic networks
* Opportunistic networking applications
* Opportunistic networking in wireless sensor networks
* Multimodal urban sensing
* Security issues in opportunistic networks
* Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks
* Mobility models for opportunistic networks
* Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building
opportunistic networks
* Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements
* Opportunistic networks performance modeling

The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM. Extended versions of
workshop selected papers will
be considered for possible fast track publication in the Computer
Communications Journal (Elsevier)
