AWASN 2012 - International Workshop on Applications of Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks (AWASN)

With the advancement of MEMS technologies, wireless ad hoc and sensor networks have opened up broad application prospects. For example, wireless sensor networks could provide fine granularity real-time physical world sensing, which is a critical enabler for new products and services in a range of commercial and government sectors. On the other hand, the challenges for the development of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks also encompass a broad spectrum of research topics including computing platform miniaturization, low-power radio and autonomous networking. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from different backgrounds to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experience.

The topics include but not limited to:

Cloud applications
VANET applications
Mobile P2P and overlay networks
Data dissemination
3G/4G
Middleware
Mobile data management (Schedule/Cache/Replica/Index/Query/etc)
Routing and messaging protocols
Privacy and security applications
Energy and resource management
Location based services
Resource management
Multiple access schemes
Localization and tracking
Fault tolerance and redundancy schemes
Multimedia/QoS communications
Novel applications of wireless, ad hoc, and sensor networks
