First Call for Papers =====================
The IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi-Hop Wireless and Mobile Networks 2005 (IEEE MHWMN'05)
(http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~qzeng/MHWMN2005/CFP.html)
To be held in conjunction with the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2005) Washington DC, USA, November 7-11, 2005
AIM and SCOPE ------------- The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are based on single-hop architecture and rely on the existing fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Wireless PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available (e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks (e.g., cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks.
TOPICS ------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
-Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management -Quality of services (QoS) delivery in MHWMN -Robust and scalable routing protocols for MHWMN -MAC protocols for MHWMN -Self-configuration and synchronization for MHWMN -Security issues in MHWMN -Topology control and management for MHWMN -Mobility models and location management in MHWMN -Cross-layer design and interactions for MHWMN -Modeling and performance evaluation for MHWMN -Algorithms for localization and signal processing in MHWMN -Implementation testbeds for MHWMN -Operating systems and middleware for MHWMN
SUBMISSIONS ----------- Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The manuscript must follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is eight (8) pages. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format), contact addresses, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail addresses (text format) to the co-chairs Qing-An Zeng (qzeng@ececs.uc.edu) and Mieso Denko (denko@cis.uoguelph.ca) by July 1, 2005.
