NEW PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 3, 2011


OVERVIEW:

Ad hoc networks, which cover a variety of network paradigms for
specific purposes, such as mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks,
vehicular networks, underwater networks, underground networks,
personal area networks, and home networks, promise a broad range of
applications in civilian, commercial, and military areas. The aim of
the annual International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (AdHocNets)
is to provide a forum that brings together researchers from academia
as well as practitioners from industry to meet and exchange ideas
and recent research work on all aspects of ad hoc networks. With the
great success of AdHocNets'09 held in Niagara Falls, Canada, on
Sept. 23-25, 2009 and the second edition of the event, AdHocNets'10,
held in Victoria, Canada, on August 18-20, 2010, we are happy to
launch the third edition to be held in Paris, France, on September
20-23, 2011. The conference will consist of technical sessions and
a tutorial given by a renowned researcher. The different sessions
will present original, fundamental and applied research advances
in such a hot field.


HIGHLIGHTS:

* All accepted papers will be published in Springer LNICST and
will be considered for indexing by Engineering Information (EI).
* The best papers (after extension) will be recommended for
consideration of publication in ICST Transactions on Mobile
Communications and Applications.
