CALL FOR PAPER

The Second ACM International Workshop on Foundations of Wireless Ad Hoc and
Sensor Networking and Computing (FOWANC 2009)

In conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2009

Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE



CONFERENCE THEME

Recent research in a variety of wireless ad hoc networks, such as mobile ad
hoc networks (MANETs),
wireless mesh networks, wireless sensor networks, wireless personal area
networks, vehicular networks,
RFID networks, and hybrid networks, raises a number of interesting, and
difficult, theoretical and
algorithmic issues. This workshop is devoted to distributed algorithms and
theoretical methods in the
context of mobile ad hoc and sensor networking and computing. The workshop
is intended to foster
cooperation among researchers in mobile ad hoc and sensor networking and
theoreticians in algorithm
and theory, and push the theoretical research forward for a deeper
understanding about ad hoc and
sensor networking and computing.

This workshop covers the all areas of ad hoc and sensor networking and
computing, from physical
issues up to applications, with a focus of theoretical and algorithmic
aspect. In particular, it will
cover distributed algorithms, optimizations, analysis and modeling,
randomized algorithms, mechanism
design, and theoretical methods in ad hoc and sensor networking and
computing.



TYPICAL TOPICS INCLUDE (but not limited to):

Channel assignment and management

Coding theory and network coding

Cryptography, security and privacy

Distributed algorithms

Dynamic and random networks

Dynamic graph algorithms

Energy conservation methods and protocols

Localization and location tracking

Mechanism design and game theory
