Call For Papers - CFP

2nd Workshop on Multihop Wireless Network Testbeds and Experiments

in conjunction with

IWCMC 2012

August 27, 2012, Cyprus

http://kunz-pc.sce.carleton.ca/iwcmc2012/TestbedWorkshop.htm

Scope:

This workshop, held in conjunction with the International Wireless

Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (http://iwcmc.org/),

August 27-31, 2012 in Cyprus intends to bring together researchers working

in the broad area of experimental multihop wireless networking such as MANETs,

WSN, VANETs, Wireless Mesh Networks, etc. While many conferences and workshops

provide a venue to present and discuss protocols or system architectures in

this space, most research work is typically done based on analytical models

and/or extensive simulations. The focus of this workshop is to serve as a forum

to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of multihop wireless

networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges

in this area. The workshop values results and insights obtained from working

implementations more highly than those obtained solely from simulations, but

papers explicitly comparing tested results and simulation results are highly

solicited. Submitted papers should be original and previously unpublished.

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:

? Design & evaluation of wireless testbeds, prototypes and platforms

? Validation of existing simulation models, and results across different

testbeds/evaluation methodologies

? Experiences/lessons from recent testbed deployments

? Wireless testbed case studies

? Industrial application and integrated innovation

? The use of multihop wireless testbeds in teaching and research

? Integration of diverse and distributed testbed infrastructures, testbed

federations

? Testbed management issues and monitoring support

? Configurable hardware/software platforms for testbeds

? Experimental evaluation of applications and protocols

? Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing

? Integrated tools/toolkits to ease transition between simulation and

deployment

? New measurement methodologies and infrastructures

? Measurement and characterization (modeling) of real-world aspects of

multihop wireless networks such as usage patterns, traffic, mobility

and channel characteristics

? Innovative measurements methodologies & tools

? Testbed tools for interoperability, benchmarking and traffic measurements

Workshop Co-Chairs:

Thomas Kunz, Carleton University

Marc St-Hilaire, Carleton University

Submission Guidelines:

Authors are invited to submit original papers of up to 6 pages including

figures, tables, and references, in PDF format. Submission implies that at

least one of the authors will register and present the paper at the conference.

Electronic submission is accepted through the EDAS. Prospective authors are

invited to submit original technical papers?up to 6 pages of length, using the

EDAS link: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=11197 for possible publication in

the IWCMC 2012 Conference Proceedings, which will be included in IEEE Xplore.

Selected papers will be further considered for possible publication in special

issues in the following Journals:
