The First IEEE International Workshop on Next Generation Wireless Networks 2005 (IEEE WoNGeN '05), Dec 21, 2005. URL: http://www.wongen.org Paper submission deadline (extended): September 7, 2005. Held in conjunction with IEEE International conference on High Performance Computing 2005 (IEEE HiPC 05), Goa, India, December 18-21, 2005. The focus theme of this workshop is "Design of Wireless Networks for Reliability, Availability, and Emergency Response". Wireless networks play an increasingly critical role in handling emergency situations where wired and wireless communication networks may face partial or full destruction. With the recent innovations in Wi-Fi systems, wireless mesh networking, ad hoc wireless networking, and wireless sensor networking, many new applications such as Wireless Internet, Mobile Commerce, and Smart environment are becoming realities. In such an environment, it is important to answer the questions on these networks' ability to deliver on reliability, availability, and handle emergency situations. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit theoretical and experimental results on topics of interest included but not limited to the following: * Design of wireless networks for emergency handling * Fault tolerance and recovery in wireless systems * Intelligent wireless messaging system for aiding crises handling * Application of artificial intelligence for protocols and system design in wireless networks * Automated crises management systems for next generation wireless networks * Studies on the impact of crises or emergency situations to wireless network crises * Data gathering, analysis, and utilization of information to aid crises mitigation in next generation wireless networks * Design of distributed wireless network control centers for aiding emergency situation handling * Experimental results on solutions for wireless network centric crises mitigation * Human communication behavior modeling to prevent impending wireless network emergencies * Protocol design for implicit emergency response in next generation wireless networks * Protocol design and deployment issues of ad hoc wireless and wireless mesh networks * Heterogeneous wireless access networks and bandwidth aggregation * Always-Best Connected communication paradigm * Artificial Intelligence paradigms for wireless communication and protocol design * Context aware wireless communication infrastructure Author Guidelines: ------------------- Authors should submit an electronic version of the manuscript either in Postscript or PDF format as an email attachment to General Co-Chair (B. S. Manoj, Email:bsmanoj@ucsd.edu). Authors must follow the formatting guidelines provided by the IEEE 2-column style. The page limit is 8 pages for full papers and 5 pages for short papers, including figures, tables and references. The minimum font size to be used is 10. All submissions will undergo a thorough review by the program committee. Each accepted paper must be presented at the workshop and all the accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be chosen to be published in a special issue of ACM/Kluwer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal.

The First IEEE International Workshop on Next Generation
Wireless Networks 2005 (IEEE WoNGeN '05), Dec 21, 2005.
URL: http://www.wongen.org
Paper submission deadline (extended): September 7, 2005.

Held in conjunction with IEEE International conference on
High Performance Computing 2005 (IEEE HiPC 05), Goa, India,
December 18-21, 2005.

The focus theme of this workshop is "Design of Wireless
Networks for Reliability, Availability, and Emergency
Response". Wireless networks play an increasingly critical
role in handling emergency situations where wired and
wireless communication networks may face partial or full
destruction. With the recent innovations in Wi-Fi systems,
wireless mesh networking, ad hoc wireless networking, and
wireless sensor networking, many new applications such as
Wireless Internet, Mobile Commerce, and Smart environment
are becoming realities. In such an environment, it is
important to answer the questions on these networks'
ability to deliver on reliability, availability, and
handle emergency situations. We invite researchers and
practitioners to submit theoretical and experimental
results on topics of interest included but not limited to
the following:

* Design of wireless networks for emergency handling
* Fault tolerance and recovery in wireless systems
* Intelligent wireless messaging system for aiding crises
  handling
* Application of artificial intelligence for protocols and
  system design in wireless networks
* Automated crises management systems for next generation
  wireless networks
* Studies on the impact of crises or emergency situations to
  wireless network crises
* Data gathering, analysis, and utilization of information
  to aid crises mitigation in next generation wireless
  networks
* Design of distributed wireless network control centers for
  aiding emergency situation handling
* Experimental results on solutions for wireless network
  centric crises mitigation
* Human communication behavior modeling to prevent impending
  wireless network emergencies
* Protocol design for implicit emergency response in next
  generation wireless networks
* Protocol design and deployment issues of ad hoc wireless
  and wireless mesh networks
* Heterogeneous wireless access networks and bandwidth
  aggregation
* Always-Best Connected communication paradigm
* Artificial Intelligence paradigms for wireless
  communication and protocol design
* Context aware wireless communication infrastructure

Author Guidelines:
-------------------
Authors should submit an electronic version of the
manuscript either in Postscript or PDF format as an email
attachment to General Co-Chair (B. S. Manoj,
Email:bsmanoj@ucsd.edu). Authors must follow the
formatting guidelines provided by the IEEE 2-column style.
The page limit is 8 pages for full papers and 5 pages for
short papers, including figures, tables and references.
The minimum font size to be used is 10. All submissions
will undergo a thorough review by the program committee.
Each accepted paper must be presented at the workshop and
all the accepted papers will be published in the workshop
proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be chosen to
be published in a special issue of ACM/Kluwer Mobile
Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal.
