CALL FOR PAPERS: The 2004 International Workshop on Ad Hoc Networks and 
Interoperability Issues (MANETII04), 21-24 June 2004, Las Vegas, Navda, USA

=========================================================================

A mobile ad hoc network is a multihop wireless network that can be formed 
without the need for any pre-existing infrastructure. Unlike other 
wireless networking technologies, which rely mainly on existing 
communication infrastructure and favor urban areas, ad hoc networks can 
be deployed to remote geographical locations with minimum setup and 
administration costs. Moreover, the integration of ad hoc networks with 
the Internet and wireless infrastructure networks increases the network 
capacity, coverage area and application domain. Although ad hoc networks 
provide many opportunities and new applications areas by realizing 
ubiquitous communication, they introduce new and fundamental challenges 
on the design of communication and networking protocols. This is due to 
the lack of central administration, limited network resources and dynamic 
network topology. 

The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and 
researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for 
discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future 
research opportunities. We are seeking original research papers 
describing algorithmic solutions, experimental results and application 
scenarios for mobile ad hoc networks and integrated ad hoc and 
infrastructure networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited 
to: 

Distributed algorithms 
Quality of Services (QoS) 
Security issues 
Denial of Services (DoS) 
Cross layer protocol design 
Mobility management 
Data management 
Ad hoc sensor networks 
Simulation and implementation test-beds 
MAC protocols 
Fault tolerance and load balancing 
Interoperability of ad hoc and wired/wireless networks 
Performance evaluation 
Service and resource discovery 
Middleware for ad hoc networks 
Mobility models 
Resource management 

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE 
======================

All submissions  (maximum 7 pages) should be made electronically (in word 
or pdf format) to the Chair at denko@cis.uoguelph.ca.   Authors should 
provide the full contact information (full name, postal address, email 
address and telephone number) of at least one author, the category of 
their submission, an abstract and list of keywords in a separate message.
