Theme and Scope

A wireless ad hoc network comprises mobile hosts in a network bereft of base stations and covers multi-hop scenarios such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios. Wireless ad hoc networking is an emerging topic in computer networking and communication networks. Message communication takes place in terms of multi-hop spreading. Furthermore, a particular one of ad hoc network systems is wireless sensor network. Sensor networks may have a wide range of applications, including security and surveillance, control, actuation and maintenance of complex systems, and fine-grain monitoring of indoor and outdoor environments. They usually involve a large number of spatially distributed, energy-constrained, self-configuring, and self-aware nodes.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth based medium access control

  • Analytical, mobility, and validation models for ad hoc and sensor networks

  • Hybrid networks and wireless Internet

  • Routing protocols in ad hoc and sensor networks

  • Power-aware, low-power and energy-efficient designs, and energy-saving control

  • Quality of service in medium access control and routing

  • Data management issues, query processing etc.

  • Clustering and cooperative strategies for ad hoc and sensor networks

  • Target tracking and location-based services

  • Self-configuring and self-healing schemes

  • Modeling, performance evaluation, and simulation tools

  • Services and applications (e.g., in the area of automobile, battlefield, bio, construction, disaster, environment, medicine, military, recovery, security, etc.)
