        Submission Deadline: ***Extended*** May 9th, 2005.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

After almost a decade of research into ad hoc networking, 
off-the-shelf MANET technology has not yet affected our way 
of using wireless networks. To consolidate the field, 
it is now the time to constructing and experiencing with realistic 
and complete MANET solutions. Prototypes and measurements 
on real test-beds provide insights in the ad hoc technology behavior 
and fundamental information for a realistic tuning of simulation models 
(mobility models, link-level models, etc.). 
This workshop constitutes a unique forum for presenting and discussing 
experiences based on real ad hoc networks test-beds and prototypes.

Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols 
development and testing, in all areas related to ad hoc networking. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Ad hoc networks applications
* System prototypes and experiences
* Software technologies and systems
* Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
* Sensor Networks
* Vehicular Networks
* Mesh Networks
* Routing and Transport protocols
* Security and cooperation protocols
* Middleware platforms for ad hoc networks
* Ad Hoc Networking for ambient intelligence and pervasive environments
* Situated and Autonomic Communications
* Location services
* Positioning and Tracking Technologies
* Measurement studies
* Mobility Models
* Enabling Technologies Models (802.11, 802.15, etc.)
* Experiment-based Social and/or Economic Analysis of Mobile Ad hoc Networks

DEMO SESSION
A demo session will be held during the workshop, showing ad hoc and sensor
network prototypes at work. Demo proposals are highly welcome, and will be
evaluated ty the Program Committee. Please submit one-page demo proposal to
the program chair (realman@iit.cnr.it) before May 1, 2005. The
proposal should briefly summarize the research framework of the proposed
demo.
Please also state clearly what equipments will be required to set up the
experiments. As a general rule, demo proposers will be in charge for all the
equipment material required for the experiments. Please contact the program
chair for particular needs in this regard.

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Please submit your short paper via e-mail (PDF format is mandatory) 
to the program chair (realman@iit.cnr.it). 
We encourage the authors to format their papers according to the 
IEEE double-column standard format,  except the font size, which 
must be Times Roman 11pt (or greater). Paper length must not exceed 
8 pages, including figures, appendixes, bibliography, etc.
Format templates and detailed instructions can be found at
