ADHOCNOW 2009

The Eigth International Conference on Ad hoc

Networks and Wireless

September 16-19, 2009

Murcia, Spain

http://libra.inf.um.es/~pedrom/adhocnow/

Since its creation in 2002, AD HOC NOW has become a well-established

and well-known international conference dedicated to wireless and

mobile computing. It serves as a forum for interesting discussions

on ongoing research and new contributions. The conference addresses

both experimental and theoretical research in the areas of ad hoc

networks, sensor networks, mesh networks and vehicular networks. It

focuses on all issues from link layer up to the application layer.

conference or journal. We are interested, but not limited to, research

papers in any of the following areas:

* Access Control

* Ad Hoc Networks of Autonomous Intelligent Systems

* Algorithmic Issues

* Analytic Methods and Modeling for Performance Evaluation

* Ad Hoc Network Applications and Architectures

* Delay-Tolerant Networking

* Distributed Algorithms for Ad Hoc Networks

* Energy Efficiency

* Geometric Graphs

* Location Discovery and Management

* Mobile Ad Hoc Computing Platforms, Systems and Testbeds

* Quality-of-Service

* Routing Protocols (Unicast, Multicast, etc.)

* Secure Services and Protocols

* Sensor Networks

* Self-Configuration

* Service Discovery

* Timing Synchronization

* Vehicular Networks

* Wireless Internet

* Wireless Mesh Networks

PROCEEDINGS

As in the past years, we plan to have the proceedings of Adhoc Now 2009

published by Springer-Verlag, as part of the Lecture Notes in

Computer Science (LNCS) series.

High-quality articles will be invited for an special issue of the Ad Hoc and

Sensor Wireless Networks Journal (AHSWN).

PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Authors are strongly encouraged to (but not required to)

submit a 150 word abstract of their paper along with three keywords

by the abstract submission deadline (March 22, 2009). Acceptable

formats for the abstracts are plain text, postscript (PS) and

portable document format (PDF).

Submissions should not exceed 14 pages (including a 150 word

abstract, all figures, tables and references) in Springer Verlag LNCS

format. Acceptable formats for papers are PS and PDF. Submissions

which are not in the appropriate format will be rejected without review.

All papers will be reviewed for technical merit. Each accepted paper

will be published in the conference proceedings, provided at least

one author of the paper registers to present the paper at the

conference.

All abstract and paper submissions will be handled electronically

at http://s01.inf.um.es/openconf/openconf.php

WORKSHOPS

Several workshops are expected to be co-located with the main conference. The

themes of the workshops are expected to be related to the technical areas of

mobile and wireless computing. They will provide a platform for presenting

novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference

itself.

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit workshop proposals to

ADHOCNOW Workshop Co-chairs, Miguel Labrador (labradorcse .usf.edu) and Ivan

Stojmenovic (stojmenovicstorm.ca), no later than March 1, 2009. Submissions

should be sent by e-mail to both co-chairs including the following information:

1. Name of the workshop

2. Description of goals, scope, previous history (if any), and why it is

important in mobile and wireless networking.

3. Name and complete contact address of the organizers, including key workshop

volunteers such as workshop chair, program chair, and tentative program

committee members.

4. Description of the workshop requirements (projector, poster facilities,...).

Preference will be given to those requiring a single meeting room (for

simplified logistics).

For additional information, please contact the Workshop Co-chairs: Miguel

Labrador (labradorcse.usf.edu) and Ivan Stojmenovic (stojmenovicstorm.ca).

SYSTEM DEMONSTRATIONS

Proposals for Panels and System demonstrations are also solicited. Proposals

should not exceed 3 pages in LNCS format and should include a description of

theme and panelists in the case of panels and a description of the demo and the

equipment to be used in the case of demos.

Potential demonstrators and panel organizers are requested to submit a proposal

in PS or PDF format both Panel and Demo Co-Chairs (Carolina Pinart, cpgtid.es

and Juan A. Sanchez, jlagunaum.es) by May 3, 2009. Please include contact

information (postal address, email address, phone and fax numbers) in the

submission.

Accepted proposals for system demonstrations and panels will be allotted

three pages in the proceedings, provided at least one author

registers to present the demo/panel at the conference.
