CALL FOR PAPERS

The 9th International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks and Wireless (ADHOC-NOW 2010)

August 20th-22nd 2010, Edmonton, Canada
http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/adhocnow10


Since its creation in 2002, ADHOC-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. Following previous ADHOC-NOW conferences in Murcia, Spain (2009), Sophia Antipolis, France (2008), Morelia, Mexico (2007), Ottawa, Canada (2006), Cancun, Mexico (2005), Vancouver, Canada (2004), Montreal, Canada (2003), and Toronto, Canada (2002), the ninth ADHOC-NOW conference will take place in Edmonton, Canada, from August the 20th to August the 22nd, 2010.

SCOPE: We seek original contributions as work in progress, experimental and theoretical research in Wireless Sensor, Ad-Hoc, Mobile and Wireless Networks. Submissions must not be published or under review for another conference or journal.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

* Mobile Social Networking
* Quality-of-Service
* Routing Protocols (Unicast, Multicast, etc.)
* Secure Services and Protocols
* Sensor Networks
* Self-Configuration
* Service Discovery
* Timing Synchronization
* Vehicular Networks
* Wireless Internet

PAPER SUBMISSIONS: Papers should not exceed 14 pages (including a 150 word abstract, all figures, tables and references) in Springer Verlag LNCS format. Submissions which are not in the appropriate format will be rejected without review. Papers will be handled electronically at https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=adhocnow2010
All papers will be reviewed for technical merit. Each accepted paper will be published in the conference proceedings as a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS), provided at least one author of the paper registers to present the paper at the conference.

PANELS & DEMONSTRATIONS: Proposals for panels and system demonstrations are also solicited. Proposals should be sent to the Program Co-Chairs in PDF format by May 3rd, 2010. Proposals should not exceed 3 pages in LNCS format. In the case of panel proposals, they should include a description of theme and the names of the panelists. In the case of demo proposals, they should include the equipment to be used and any other relevant requirements. 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.
