Overview
Wireless ad hoc networks have attracted considerable attention from the
research community in the last several years. Now that many of the
fundamental topics and challenges have been deeply investigated, the focus
is partially shifting to new issues, which include data-centric operations,
autonomous organization, service creation/support, continued operation under
intermittent connectivity, optimization, control, cross-layer design and
application scenarios (road safety, disaster recovery, smart cities, energy
efficient buildings, sensors, actuators, wearables, etc.). Moreover,
novel and exciting challenges are introduced by commercial systems adopting
the ad hoc paradigm, from mesh, sensor and vehicular networks, and by
associated delay-tolerant and opportunistic scenarios. Furthermore,
today's market explosion of smart phones is creating new opportunities for
wireless ad hoc social networks, the study of which requires the combination
of opportunistic ad hoc networking aspects with the understanding of social
behavior and mobility patterns.
MED-HOC-NET 2014 focuses on all the ramifications of ad hoc networking
research, not only the classic topics of location management,
security/privacy, topology optimization/control schemes and resource
allocation, but also paying attention to novel emerging areas such as green
networking, safety/surveillance, underwater communications, and coexistence
among heterogeneous devices.
The Workshop is endorsed by the IEEE Communication Society and its Technical
Committees for Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks, Information Infrastructure &
Networking, and Radio Communication, and by IFIP.
