Minitrack on Wireless Networks
Software Technology Track, 47th Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS 47)

January 6-9, 2014, Hilton Waikoloa, Big Island, Hawaii

CALL FOR PAPERS
Submission deadline: June 15, 2013 (firm)

This minitrack is focused on the issues that arise in designing and building wireless networks, and on the applications of wireless networks in solving real-world challenges and connecting people and devices.

Technical issues are found in the protocol stack from the physical layer to the application layer, and include greater efficiency, security, scalability, the design and motivation of new systems, novel applications, better use of existing technology, energy efficiency of communications and use, regulatory issues, and in general, issues that are of concern when designing or building wireless networks.

Often, technical solutions must be accompanied by relevant social, environmental, or economic considerations that may be essential to the success of the technology.

In general, this minitrack is expansive in welcoming submissions in any area related to wireless networks. Prospective authors are invited to contact the minitrack chairs if they seek more detailed guidance.

The following is a partial list of research topics of particular interest for this minitrack:

- networking issues, including physical, MAC, routing, transport, application, or cross-layer protocols and algorithms

- theoretical issues of interest in the design or implementation of wireless networks, including communications, scalability, coordination, access control, and other advances in the field

- mobile broadband wireless networks

- ad hoc wireless networks including mesh networks

- wireless sensor networks

- mixed wired and wireless networks

- embedded systems using wireless networks

- security in wireless networks

- network management and localization or dealing with approximate location

- novel applications of wireless networks

- social and environmental benefits and consequences of increased use of wireless networks and new applications.

This minitrack will be complemented at HICSS-47 by a tutorial on Wireless Ad-Hoc Network Fundamentals.
