RESEARCH SUMMARY
Ad-Hoc networks are wireless, self-organizing systems formed by
co-operating nodes within communication range of each other that
form temporary networks. Their topology is dynamic, decentralized,
ever-changing and the nodes may move around arbitrarily. The last
few years have wittnessed a wealth of research ideas on ad hoc
networking that are moving rapidly into implemented standards,

SCOPE:
We are interested in work in progress, experimental and theoretical research
in Ad-Hoc, Mobile and Wireless Networks. Of interest are, but are not limited, 
to papers describing research in any of the following areas in Mobile and 
Ad-Hoc Networks: Architectures
Access Control and Discovery
Multicasting Protocols
Performance
Quality-of-Service
Routing Protocols
Scalability
Secure Services
Self-Configuration

BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD:
Offered to the best paper co-authored by a student.
