WONS 2013 - 10th IEEE/IFIP Conference on Wireless On demand Network Systems and Services

As more and more users become increasingly dependent on wireless and mobile communications, it is necessary to ensure reliable and dependable connectivity and support for “on-demand” services through new-generation wireless technologies such as mesh networks, WiMax, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, and their integration with the Internet, the cloud, and with legacy wireless technologies such as cellular and WiFi.
There are major challenges to be addressed, including integration of infrastructure-based and ad hoc networks, development of robust and lightweight algorithms for self-organization, reconfiguration at all layers of the protocol stack, on-demand service models and their provision in a highly-volatile interconnected environment, and smooth interoperability of architectures.
WONS, now in its tenth edition, has established itself as a high-quality forum to address these challenges in the context of a conference that is rich in interactions and based on innovative contributions by experts in the field.
This announcement solicits original submissions of high-quality research papers on “wireless on-demand networks” that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling, performance evaluation, profitability models, energy efficiency, QoS models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, and Internet integration of wireless networks.
Topics related to all kinds of wireless on-demand networks comprise, but are not limited to:
New architectures for on-demand wireless systems
Intra-body and biomedical on-demand systems
Performance evaluation through simulations and experiments
Modeling, optimization, and game theoretic aspects
Integration and co-existence of heterogeneous technologies
Social and economic aspects
Pervasive and ubiquitous computing
Localization and mobility management
Security, privacy, and trust
Novel applications and services
Energy-efficient protocols and power management
Cross-layer design
Implementations and testbeds
Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols
Mobile peer-to-peer systems
Middleware aspects
Self-X and network management
Cognitive radio networks
Green wireless networks
Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere and must not be currently under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit double-column full (up to 8 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages) as a PDF file in IEEE format with a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions and ongoing work with visionary, innovative ideas; accepted short papers and posters will be included in the conference proceedings. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Conference proceedings will be included in the IEEE Xplore library.
Papers (including those destined to special sessions) must be submitted through the EDAS system. The following link will bring you directly to registration page.
The IEEE/IFIP WONS 2013′s Best Paper Award will recognize the authors of superior quality papers submitted to the 2013 conference. The authors of Best Paper Award will be recognized in the conference.
Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the IEEE Communications society will take action against any author who has engaged in either practice.

PLEASE NOTE: To be published in the IEEE WONS 2013 Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore®, at least one author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference and must present the paper at the conference. Non-refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication-ready version of the paper. For authors with multiple accepted papers, an additional fee is required for each additional paper. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE WONS 2013 Conference Proceedings and in IEEE Xplore®.
