WONS 2017 - 13th Annual Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services

The 13th Annual Conference on
Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services
21-24 February 2017
Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA

Keynote Speakers:
Nick Bambos (Stanford)
Jean Walrand (UC Berkeley)
Wireless on-demand network systems and services have become pivotal in
shaping our future networked world. Starting as a niche application
over Wi-Fi, they can now be found in mainstream technologies like
Bluetooth LE, LTE Direct and Wireless LANs, and have become the
cornerstone of upcoming networking paradigms including mesh and sensor
networks, the Internet of Things, cloud networks, vehicular networks,
disruption tolerant and opportunistic networks, underwater and
intra-body networks.
The challenges of this exciting research field are numerous. Examples
include how to make smart use of these novel technologies when
multiple technologies or a mix of permanent services and on-demand
networking opportunities are available to a network node, how to
provide robust services in highly dynamic environments, how to
efficiently employ and operate heavily resource-constrained devices,
and how to develop robust and lightweight algorithms for
self-organization and adaptation. Finally, there are many
application-specific challenges.
WONS, now in its thirteenth edition, is a high quality forum to
address these challenges. WONS aims to provide a global platform for
rich interactions between experts in their fields, discussing
innovative contributions in a stimulating environment.
This announcement solicits original contributions of high-quality
research providing novel insights on all aspects of wireless on-demand
networks and systems; from protocol and network design, modeling,
performance evaluation, energy efficiency, QoS models and mechanisms,
practical implementations, service level aspects, application
use-cases, to the integration of multiple wireless network
technologies.
Topics of interest comprise, but are not limited to:
Cognitive radio networks
Cross-layer design
Energy-efficient protocols and power management
Heterogeneous wireless networks
Implementations and testbeds
Integration and co-existence of heterogeneous technologies
Intra-body and biomedical on-demand systems
Green wireless networks
Localization and mobility management
MAC and advanced PHY technologies
Middleware aspects
Mobile peer-to-peer systems
Mobile computing and services
Modeling and optimization
Network management
New architectures for on-demand wireless systems
Novel applications and services
Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols
Performance evaluation through simulations and experiments

Security, privacy, and trust
Social and economic aspects
Underwater on-demand networked systems
Manuscript submissions
---
Authors are invited to submit double-column long papers (up to 8 pages)
and short papers (up to 4 pages) as a PDF file in IEEE format with a
font size no smaller than 10pt. All paper submissions must be written in
English. The mandatory IEEE template in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format
can be found at the IEEE templates page. All submitted manuscripts must
be at least 3 pages in length. Short papers should present future
research directions and ongoing work with visionary, innovative ideas;
accepted short papers will populate poster sessions at the conference
and will be included in the conference proceedings. Submitted papers
must not have been published elsewhere and must not be currently under
review by another conference or journal. Submission implies the
willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the
paper. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will
appear in the conference proceedings and will be submitted to the IEEE
Xplore Digital Library.
Manuscripts will be collected via EDAS. You can submit your
contribution using the following link:
