[Tccc] CFP: LOCALGOS 2010, Papers Due March 21st

Following three successful events in 2007, 2008 and 2009,
the 4th International Workshop on Localized Algorithms and
Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (LOCALGOS 2010) aims
to cover comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot
area of ad hoc and sensor networking.

This workshop concentrates on such network layer problems as
data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting,
multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control
(neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination,
etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or
greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring
global information. Localized algorithms are distributed
approaches where simple local node behavior achieves a
desired global objective. Localized protocols provide
scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks
with an arbitrary number of nodes. The objective of the
workshop is to present state of the art research results on
various aspects of localized algorithms and protocols in
this rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks.
