General information:

Welcome to the Workshop on Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks! Based on the success

of the preceding WMAN workshops of 2007 back to 2002, the workshop will

also be organised for 2009. For the upcoming workshop, we are very

happy to introduce WMAN 2009 for the second time being hosted in the

context of the bi-annual ITG/GI conference on communication in

distributed systems (German: ITG/GI - Fachtagung "Kommunikation in

Verteilten Systemen") - see http://www.kivs09.de/.

Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) show a large interest in application

and protocol research. While the basic organization of the routing

tasks has been addressed for quite some time, the emerging areas

include auto-configuration, security and data privacy, or an efficient

use of various resources, such as bandwidth, energy, or memory.

Especially driven by the hand-held or mobile devices restrictions,

the lack of centralized managers, and a high dynamicity of users,

devices, and applications, known solutions to wire-line protocols,

mechanisms, and systems cannot be applied directly to MANETs.

Therefore, this workshop WMAN?09 combines in a coherent manner

questions from the lower radio transmission layer all the way up

to the application layer relevant in MANETs. Furthermore, dedicated

application scenarios, such as vehicle-to-vehicle communications or

submarine communications are of high interest.

Workshop paper topics include, but are not limited to:

? Basic Technologies (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth)

? Architectures and protocols

? Routing mechanisms

? Scalability and simulations of performance

? Energy efficiency

? QoS for ad-hoc networks

? Auto-configuration and addressing

? Security and data privacy in ad-hoc networks

? Software platforms (middleware) for mobile applications

? Applications for ad-hoc network

? Location-based services and their deployment

? Context management for ad-hoc services

? Pricing models for commercial ad-hoc services

? Accounting schemes for ad-hoc services

? Management mechanisms of ad-hoc networks

? Self-configuration and self-organization in ad-hoc networks

Addressees of the workshop:

Goal of the WMAN workshop is to enable an effective interchange of

results and ideas among researchers, users, and product developers on an

international level - under the umbrella of research topics on wireless

mobile ad-hoc networks.

We encourage you to submit original papers describing research results

or practical solutions, as well as ongoing work or challenging new

research issues in the area of ad-hoc networks.

Important dates:

- November 10, 2008: Deadline for submissions.

All papers have to be registered by November 6, 2008.

- November 30, 2008: Notification of acceptance.

- December 20, 2008: Camera ready version.

- March 2-6, 2009: Conference KiVS in Kassel

- March 5+6, 2009: Workshop days, WMAN 2009 and others

Submission of papers:

Papers are solicited as full papers (in English language), each of which

will be subject to a full peer review process. Submissions have to

follow the author guidelines and must include: title, authors,

affiliations, and 100-word abstract. The corresponding author should be

identified clearly, including name, position, mailing address, telephone

and fax numbers, and e-mail address. An electronic, PDF-based submission

of papers is mandatory.

Information on the paper length and formatting instructions for the

papers will be published on the workshop web page as soon as available.

All workshop papers of the KiVS conference will be published in a common

workshop publication (details are currently under negotiation - as of

July 18).

Details on electronic paper submission will also be published on the

workshop web page.
