11th Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop

Ayia Napa, Cyprus, 19 - 22 June 2012

http://medhocnet2012.cs.ucy.ac.cy

Wireless ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research

community in the last several years, mostly because of the growing

interest in a connected world, where people are ? virtually ?

omnipresent. Next generation wireless networks, heterogeneous access

technologies, ad-hoc and sensor networks, and new Internet technologies

are part of this pervasive environment.

MED-HOC-NET 2012, as its previous 10 predecessors focuses on

communication networking research, especially on new issues in Wireless

Ad-Hoc Networks, which include Application Scenarios, Data-centric

Operation, Autonomous Organization, Optimization and Control, Operation

under Intermittent Connectivity, and Service Creation and Support. The

scope of the workshop also includes new and exciting challenges in

wireless mesh networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, delay

tolerant and opportunistic networks, and the opportunities provided or

stemming from the social networks paradigm.

As a major annual international workshop, the 11^th MED-HOC-NET aims to

serve as a platform for researchers and visionaries from the academia,

the research laboratories, and the industry to present their latest work.

Following recent successful conferences in Sicily (2006), Corfu (2007),

Palma de Mallorca (2008), Haifa (2009), Juan-les-pins (2010), and

Favignana Island (2011), Med-Hoc-Net 2012 will take place in Ayia Napa

(CYPRUS).

Workshop Topics

The papers solicited cover a variety of topics related to ad hoc,

wireless, sensor, mesh, delay tolerant, and opportunistic networks,

including but not limited to:

?Routing algorithms and protocols

?MAC protocols, scheduling, power control, and resource allocation

?Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks

?Middleware for ad hoc networks

?Application driven architectures and protocols

?Sensor network applications and protocols

?Vehicular networks

?Cognitive radio networks

?Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks

?Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes

?Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, IEEE 802.16,

etc.)

?Self-organization and network (re)configuration

?Optimization models and algorithms

?Resource and service discovery

?Energy-efficient networking

?Exploitation of social and mobility patterns for opportunistic networking

?Mobile social networks

?Security and privacy

?Positioning and localization

?Participatory and urban sensing

?Underwater wireless networks

?Green networking

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will

appear in IEEExplore.
