CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- The Second International Workshop on Ad Hoc Networks and Interoperability Issues (MANETII'05), 27-30 June 2005, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Held in conjunction with the International Conference on Wireless Networks (ICWN'05). Workshop Website: http://www.cis.uoguelph.ca/~denko/workshframe.html -------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE ----- 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 Heterogeneous wireless networks Hybrid routing in ad hoc networks SUBMISSION PROCEDURE -------------------- Authors are requested to submit draft papers not exceeding 5 pages (single-spaced font size of 10 or 11) in PDF format to Dr. Mieso Denko (denko@cis.uoguelph.ca).

CALL FOR PAPERS 
---------------
The Second International Workshop on Ad Hoc Networks and 
Interoperability Issues (MANETII'05), 27-30 June 2005, 
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA 

Held in conjunction with the International Conference on 
Wireless Networks (ICWN'05).

SCOPE
-----
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 
Heterogeneous wireless networks
Hybrid routing in ad hoc networks


SUBMISSION PROCEDURE 
--------------------
Authors are requested to submit draft papers not exceeding 5 pages (single-spaced 
font size of 10 or 11) in PDF format to Dr. Mieso Denko (denko@cis.uoguelph.ca).
The length of the cameral-ready papers will be limited to 7 IEEE style pages.

Conference on Wireless Networks (ICWN'05). After the conference, 
selected papers will be considered for journal publication. In 2004, a number of
authors from the MANETII workshop submitted extended versions of their paper to
a Special Issue on "Wireless Networks and Pervasive Computing" for the Journal
