CALL FOR PAPERS
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):
- Device prototypes for wireless BANs, PANs, LANs, and MANs
- QoS for real-time voice and video in wireless networks
- Differentiated services in wireless multimedia networks
- IP-based multimedia services over wireless networks
- Multi-hop Multi-radio wireless mesh networks
- Handoff and mobility management in beyond-3G systems
- Seamless internetworking
- Systems and methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in wireless networks
- Architectures for beyond-3G systems
- Energy-efficient protocols and power management algorithms
- Wireless security
- Wireless ad-hoc networks
- Wireless sensor networks
- Wireless vehicular networks
- Prototype implementation of wireless/mobile networks and systems
- Wireless/Mobile applications
- Middleware platforms for wireless/mobile environments
- Software technologies and systems
- Location services
- Positioning and Tracking Technologies
