WMAN 2013 - 7th Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (WMAN 2013)

WMAN 2013 seeks to provide a platform for a broad discussion on Wireless and Mobile Ad-hoc Networks among researchers from such diverse fields as MANETs, VANETs, WSNs, or mesh networks. The focus should be on networked systems that communicate wirelessly in a spontaneous way. Providing such a platform should enhance awareness of new trends and approaches in other areas of ad-hoc networking that might be applicable to the own domain. According to this goal, submissions can present both original and novel works including work in progress. However, submissions may also provide a broader picture on the work of a working group or a specific community or raise new issues or challenges that the research community should discuss during the workshop.
Authors are invited to submit work on issues related to, but not limited by, the following list of topics:
Basic Technologies (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc.) and their suitability for ad-hoc net-works
Lower layer support for Ad-hoc Networks
Architectures and protocols
Routing mechanisms for ad-hoc networks
QoS in ad-hoc environments
Auto-configuration and inter-networking with other networks (like the Internet)
Security, privacy, and data protection in ad-hoc networks
Scalability and simulations of performance
Energy efficiency
Localization and location-based services in ad-hoc networks
Applications and application architectures (e.g., P2P) for ad-hoc networks
Software platforms and middleware for ad-hoc networks
Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)
Mesh networks
Ad-hoc in ubiquitous computing scenarios
Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA)
Design and management of ad-hoc networks
Methods, models, and tools for designing, testing, and analysing ad-hoc networks
Scalability and simulations
Architectures and protocols for large ad-hoc networks
Case-studies and experiences with production-use ad-hoc networks
New application scenarios for ad-hoc networks

Submissions
Submissions are expected in English, shall follow the IEEE transactions, 2 column, 11 pt format, A4 paper with a maximum of 3 pages extended abstracts that should clearly outline the content of the proposed talk. All submissions will undergo a relevancy check. If more submissions are received than presentation slots are available, workshop chairs will select submissions based on relevancy to the workshop and the potential to raise discussions among participants. During the event, each presenter will be given a 20 min. slot to present his/her topic followed by a 20 min. slot for discussions. This stresses that talks have the main purpose to stimulate discussions.
Accepted abstracts will be published online as a technical report of University of Ulm (Ulmer Informatik Berichte). Submissions in PDF format only and/or possible questions should be directed to the workshop co-chairs at wman2013-AT-cs.uni-bonn.de.
