WONS 2014 - 11th Annual Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services

Increasingly more people become dependent on wireless and mobile communications. It is therefore necessary to ensure that they get connectivity and service support on demand. This may be provided by a new generation of wireless technologies such as mesh networks, ad hoc delay tolerant and opportunistic networks, sensor networks, and vehicular networks. The technologies will be integrated with the Internet, the cloud, and with legacy wireless technologies such as 3G and 4G cellular and WiFi.
There are many 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, as well as on-demand service models and their provision in a highly dynamic environments with mobile users.
WONS, now in its eleventh edition, has established itself as a high-quality forum to address these challenges based on innovative contributions by experts in the field who meet in the context of a conference that is rich in interactions.
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, application use cases and Internet integration of wireless networks.
Topics related to all kinds of wireless on-demand networks comprise, but are not limited to:
