CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
*****************************************************************
The Second ACM International Workshop on Foundations of Wireless
Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking and Computing (FOWANC 2009)
New Orleans, LA, USA
May 18, 2009
In conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2009
Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE
*****************************************************************
CONFERENCE THEME
Recent research in a variety of wireless ad hoc networks, such as mobile ad hoc
networks (MANETs), wireless mesh networks, wireless sensor networks, wireless
personal area networks, vehicular networks, RFID networks, and hybrid networks,
raises a number of interesting, and difficult, theoretical and algorithmic issues.
This workshop is devoted to distributed algorithms and theoretical methods in the
context of mobile ad hoc and sensor networking and computing. The workshop is
intended to foster cooperation among researchers in mobile ad hoc and sensor
networking and theoreticians in algorithm and theory, and push the theoretical
research forward for a deeper understanding about ad hoc and sensor networking
and computing.
This workshop covers the all areas of ad hoc and sensor networking and computing,
from physical issues up to applications, with a focus of theoretical and algorithmic
aspect. In particular, it will cover distributed algorithms, optimizations, analysis
and modeling, randomized algorithms, mechanism design, and theoretical methods in
ad hoc and sensor networking and computing.
KEYNOTE SPEECH
On Self-Organization in MANETs (Prof. Jie Wu, Florida Atlantic University)
Abstract
The dynamic nature and network complexity of MANETs requires self organization
to reduce the administrative need and complexity in network installation,
maintenance, and management. We first show several network functions of MANETs
that can be designed in a self-organized way, including topology control and
the construction of connected dominating sets (CDS). An in-depth study of a
self-organized scheme for CDS construction and the use of CDS for efficient
broadcast in MANETs is presented. This scheme selects a small subset of nodes
locally to form a forward node set to carry out the broadcast process.
Various design options and trade-offs are also discussed. Finally, we show
that our design coincidentally meets the Prehofer and Bettstetter's four
design paradigms recently proposed for developing a self-organized network
function.
