Date of event: June 26, 2006
Submission deadline: January 23, 2006

Wireless networks represent a challenging and ever growing research area. In these systems the interactions among the different network layers are very complex and their effects on the overall performance are not easy to accurately identify. Experimental activities involving the development of systems and device prototypes and the collection and analysis of measurements from actual networks can provide an insight on the behaviour of such systems in realistic environments, which can be beneficial for understanding how cross-layer interactions impact in practice the overall performance, for deriving realistic simulation models, for analyzing particular phenomena and evaluating algorithms and protocols, and for exploring the design choices in building actual wireless networks. Such activities are pivotal for researchers, developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users involved in the evolution of these networks.

EXPONWIRELESS aims at bringing together all the aspects related to experimental achievements on wireless networks, creating a forum where researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, current requirements, and future visions, useful for the development of new protocols, algorithms, devices and systems.

High quality papers discussing original and innovative experimental activities on wireless networks are solicited for submission. The main topics of the workshop are (but are not limited to):
