CALL FOR PAPERS

Aims and Scope

The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and technologists

to present new ideas and contributions in the domain of wireless networking employed

to support the needs of future wireless communication systems. To deal with the

increasing complexity of large-scale wireless networking systems, computers and

applications must learn to manage themselves in accordance with high-level guidance

from humans ¨C a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing.

Quality, reliability, security and robustness are specific demands to be provided

by future autonomic wireless networks. Cognitive radio has emerged as a promising

technology for maximizing the utilization of the limited radio bandwidth while

accommodating the increasing amount of services and applications in the wireless

networks. Similarly, cross-layer techniques exploit locally available information for

providing more robust and scalable wireless communication systems.

The purpose of the First International Workshop on Autonomic Wireless Networking

is to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing all aspects of

self-organization, adaptive management of available resources, cooperation and

detection of selfishness in wireless networks. In doing so, we hope to further build

and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale

autonomic wireless networks.

Papers are solicited in the broad range of wireless networking with focus on autonomic

communication. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Smart antenna technologies

- Cognitive and software defined radio

- Cooperative communications

- Incentive compatible and cooperative behavior

- Self-organization

- Cross-layer design and optimization

- Medium access control

- Quality of service

- Radio resource management

- Selfishness detection

- Jamming

- Security and privacy

- Modeling and simulation

- Testbeds and experimental platforms

Submission Guidelines

Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers not exceeding six pages

(hard limit), including text, figures, tables, and references. Papers must be written

in English and must be in standard IEEE conference format. All submissions will be

handled electronically through the EDAS system http://edas.info, and must be in PDF

format.

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings which will be included

in IEEE Digital Library (pending approval). Selected papers will be further considered

for possible publication in a special issue of the Wiley Journal of Wireless

Communications and Mobile Computing (WCMC), and International Journal of Autonomous

and Adaptive Communications Systems.
