CALL FOR PAPERS

Wireless networks have experienced an explosive growth during the last
few years. The development of cellular and wireless local area
networks gradually makes the notion of ubiquitous computing a reality.
As one of the most advanced applications of wireless networks, sensor
networks share a similar definition, but put more stringent resource
conditions at each node. Researchers in the field are kept challenged
to design better architectures and protocols, and apply them to
industrial, consumer, medical, and military needs.

This workshop intends to bring together leading researchers and
practitioners to identify the fundamental challenges and future
prospects of wireless networks, especially cellular networks, local
and metropolitan networks, and sensor networks.

Technical topics include but are definitely not limited to the
following:

      Wireless Local and Metropolitan Area Networks
      Wireless Sensor Networks
      IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.16
      Bluetooth, ZigBee and UWB
      Network Planning and Deployment
      Performance Evaluation and Analysis
      Roaming and Interoperability
      Resource Management
      Multiple Access Schemes
      Scalability and Capacity
      Power-aware Protocols
      Routing, Broadcasting and Multicasting
      Topology Control
      Middleware for Wireless or Sensor Networks
      Localization and Synchronization
      Location-based Services
      Mobile Security and Device Security
      Mobile Agents
      Industrial Applications
      Case Studies
