Wireless ad hoc and sensor networks are important and challenging research
areas that emerge from the integration among personal computing, distributed
computing, and wireless technology. A number of interesting and difficult
issues arise in this area, such as energy consumption, location management,
resource allocation, network connectivity, and reliability and security.
This track is intended to cover contributions in design and analysis of
algorithms, system modeling, performance evaluation, implementation issues,
and applications in the context of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks.

This track also covers the security aspects of communication networks.
The volume of the network attacks is increasing rapidly and the
vulnerabilities are getting exploited more quickly. Distributed
Denial-of-Service is still posing a great threat and it is rather
