WWASN 2013 - The Tenth International Workshop on Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networking (WWASN 2013)

The Tenth Workshop on Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks WWASN2013
A full day workshop held in conjunction with the ICDCS 2013
The 33rd International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems
July 08 -11, 2013 in Philadelphia, PA
This workshop covers the area of ad hoc networking, from physical issues up to application aspects. In particular, it will cover physical, data link, network and transport layers, as well as applications, security, simulation and power management issues in sensor, local area, personal, and mobile ad hoc networks. It is the goal of this workshop to review ad hoc protocols and models and to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks. It seeks to provide up to date information on research and development activities in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. The workshop will also address the rapidly growing field of sensor networks, including (but not limited to) the issues related to their topology, routing, performance, data gathering and filtering, energy efficiency, and mobility.
The submitted articles will be carefully reviewed for quality and relevance. Each article will be reviewed by experts of the same topic. In the selection process, a comprehensive coverage will be sought, covering the most important topics such as (but not limited to):
Applications and history of ad hoc networks
Self-organization and self-management of ad hoc networks
Physical layer of ad hoc networks
Pervasive and wearable computing
Medium access control for ad hoc and sensor networks
Methods and tools for large scale ad hoc networks simulation
Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks
Hybrid networks and wireless internet
Security in ad hoc networks
Trust establishment and assessment in ad hoc networks
Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery
Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks
Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks
Quality of service in medium access control and routing
Topology construction, discovery and maintenance in ad hoc networks
Selected best papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks journal.
