The First Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop,Med-hoc-Net
2002, sponsored by IFIP, will take place in Hotel Chia Laguna (
http://www.hotelchialaguna.com ), Sardegna, Italy, Sept4-6,2002.
                       
The aim of the Med-hoc-Net Workshop is to bring together researchers
from both sides of the Atlantic (and Pacific) to the shores of the
Mediterranean sea. The Workshop will serve as a forum for ad hoc network
technologists and visionaries from academia, industry and research labs,
to present current research, advanced technology, ongoing prototyping
efforts, experience reports, case studies, and descriptions of
innovative ad hoc systems. 
Each offering of the Workshop will have a different theme. 
The specific theme this year will be “Quality of Service” in ad hoc
networks. 


The best papers will be published in a special issue of the ACM WINET
Journal  

Invited speaker: Leonard Kleinrock(UCLA) 


Topics will include (but are not limited to) : 

QoS-Oriented multi-hop mobile network architectures, Intserv, Diffserv,
MPLS etc. protocols   
over AdHoc networks 

QoS support in Bluetooth, HomeR, HIPERLAN, IEEE 802.11 etc. 

Multimedia applications Middleware for support in Ad Hoc networks and
real-time transports over Ad Hoc networks 

Unicast and multicast routing in ad hoc multi-hop wireless networks 

Resource discovery and network reconfiguration 

Multimedia location services 

Scheduling, radio resource sharing and MAC protocols for multi hop
networks 

Call admission and traffic control policies for ad hoc networks 

Power management and control algorithms 

Fault tolerance and error recovery 

Interconnection between Ad Hoc and wired networks 

Congestion control 

Ad Hoc TCP implementations 

Fair sharing between different traffic classes 

Performance evaluation of QoS-oriented protocols, middleware and
applications via measurement, analytical models or simulation 

QoS enabling ad hoc network prototypes 

Signal processing algorithms (coding, compression) for Ad Hoc networks 

Security in Ad Hoc networks
