SCOPE:

Multihop networking has experienced rapid growth in the last decade
with applications ranging from battlefield and disaster area networking
to wireless LANs for the home and offices. Recent technological
developments have led to newer possibilities for applications such as
networking of large arrays of wireless sensors and development of
wireless community networks. However, design of multihop networks
continue to pose a myriad of challenging problems that exist across
multiple disciplines. These include issues in the physical layer,
network protocol development, operating system, low-power circuit
design, signal processing, and distributed algorithms.

The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers on
different aspects of the current issues on multihop wireless wireless
networks with special emphasis on performance modeling and protocol
development. We encourage submission of high-quality papers that report
original work in both theoretical and experimental research areas.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Physical layer design
- Medium Access Control
- Routing
- Network Control and Management
- Operating system and middleware
- Data storage and database
- Energy conservation techniques
- Distributed and collaborative algorithms for multihop networks
- Signal processing techniques
- Performance evaluation and modeling of multihop networks
- Security issues
- Network reliability/survivability
- Multimedia and QoS
- Testbed results
- Applications
