WWASN 2012 - The Ninth Workshop on Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks

This workshop covers the area of wireless ad hoc and sensor 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. We also solicit papers that deal with recently introduced issues such as multi-hop scenarios, cognitive communications, energy efficiency and green networking. The workshop will address all issues related to sensor networks, vehicular access networks, and other emerging ad hoc wireless networks, including (but not limited to) the following:
Novel applications of ad hoc and sensor networks
Physical layer of ad hoc networks
Pervasive and wearable computing
Opportunistic spectrum access in ad hoc networks
IEEE 801.11x, 802.15.x and other types of medium access control
Methods and tools for ad hoc networks simulation
Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks
Hybrid networks and wireless internet
Security in ad hoc and sensor networks
Data management issues, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks
Routing, broadcasting and multicasting in ad hoc networks
Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks
Green communications in the context of ad hoc and sensor networks
Quality of service in medium access control and routing
Topology construction and maintenance
Information processing in sensor networks and systems
