LOCALGOS 2011 - 5th International Workshop on Localized Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (LOCALGOS)

The 5th International Workshop on Localized Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (LOCALGOS 2011) aims to cover comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking.

This workshop concentrates on such network layer problems as data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed approaches where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on various aspects of localized algorithms and protocols in this rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks.
