The efficiency of message routing is critical to the performance of computer
and communication networks. The routing process involves moving data between
the various hosts of a given network. When such a process involves more than
one source and/or one destination, it is commonly referred to as a collective
communication process. The complexity of routing is further complicated by host
mobility in wireless networks (cellular, satellite and/or ad-hoc). It is clear
that the conventional routing algorithms are not suitable in networks whose
topology is dynamic, especially when real-time traffic has to be supported. The
goal of minitrack is to put together some of recent results on fault-tolerant
routing in networks. Researchers and practitioners working in this area have an
opportunity to discuss and expression their views on the current trends,
challenges, and state-of-art solutions to design routing protocol in wireless
and Internet Networks. Topics of interest include but are note limited to:
 
- Reliable routing (point-to-point, multicasting and broadcasting) 
- Network topologies and hardware support for efficient routing 
- Support for collective communication 
- Communication subsystems 
- Wireless Internet 
- Routing in the Internet 
- Routing in cellular and ad-hoc wireless networks 
- Intra-cluster and in-cluster routing 
- Performance evaluation and benchmarking 
- Randomized routing protocols in communication networks 
- Location-aware routing; Energy-aware routing 
- Location updates for efficient routing 
- Location management and connection rerouting in cellular networks
