About SAWN2001

The IEEE Symposium on Ad-Hoc Wireless Networks (SAWN2001) is a new
and high quality technical meeting (to be held as part of GLOBECOM
2001) for researchers to present their latest research work related
to the fast evolving field of ad hoc (multihop, adaptive, and
self-organizing) wireless networks and pervasive communications. Such
networks could have strong potential impact on our daily lives (for
example at home and on-the-road) and the way we work. They are also
particularly attractive for military and emergency operations due to
their fast deployable and self-organizing characteristics. Future ad
hoc networks are also capable of supporting multimedia. High quality
papers are invited from researchers in academia and industries who
are involved in this area of work.


Topics of Interest Include (but not are limited
to):

- Ad Hoc Routing Protocols/Algorithms 
- Ad Hoc Multicasting Protocols/Algorithms 
- Ad Hoc Transport Issues 
- Service Discovery Algorithms 
- Media Access Techniques/Protocols
- Low Power Algorithms and Protocols 
- Sensor & Data Fusion Ad Hoc Networks 
- Quality of Service Issues 
- Ad hoc network architectures 
- Mobile IP with Ad Hoc 
- Error & Link Control Tecniques 
- Performance of Bluetooth Networks 
- Access & Session Support 
- Integration Issues




Instructions for Authors

Technical papers should be submitted to the Globecom Committee following the general Globecom submission process and
instructions ( AUTHOR KIT). In order to ensure that your paper is properly routed to this Symposium, it is VERY
IMPORTANT that you explicitly identify Symposium on Ad Hoc Wireless Networks as the intended symposium to which you are
submitting the paper. Failure to do so may result in your paper being forwarded to another symposium. All submissions
will be made electronically and accepted papers will be published with GLOBECOM proceedings. Papers of particular merit
may be considered for journal publications. Submission deadline is 31st March 2001. All inquires should be directed to
the symposium chairman at cktoh@ece.gatech.edu



International Technical Program Committee

Members of this committee are selected based on their expertise, professional practice, and contributions to IEEE
activities. They are responsible for reviewing papers, ensuring fairness, and maintaining a high quality and
