[DMANET] AdHoc-Now 2012 - Call for Papers

Call for Papers
ADHOC-NOW 2012
The 11th International Conference on Ad Hoc Networks and Wireless
Belgrade, Serbia, July 9-11, 2012
http://www.adhocnow.com/

Since its creation in 2002, the International Conference on Ad Hoc
Networks and Wireless (ADHOC-NOW) has become a well-established and
well known event dedicated to wireless and mobile computing. In the
ERA Conference Ranking Exercise, ADHOC-NOW is considered as a B
conference (same ranking as IEEE conferences ICC, Globecom, MASS,
DCOSS, etc.) ADHOC-NOW serves as a forum for interesting discussions
on ongoing research and new contributions. The conference addresses
both experimental and theoretical research in the areas of ad hoc
networks, sensor networks, mesh networks and vehicular networks. It
focuses on all issues from link layer up to the application layer.
The eleventh edition of this series will take place in Belgrade, Serbia,
from the 9th to the 11th of July, 2012.

We seek original contributions as work in progress, experimental and
theoretical research in Wireless Sensor, Ad-Hoc, Mobile and Wireless
Networks. Submissions must not be published or under review for another
conference or journal. We are interested, but not limited to, research
papers in any of the following areas:
* Access Control
* Algorithmic Issues
* Analytic Methods and Modeling for Performance Evaluation
* Applications and Architectures
* Autonomous Intelligent Systems
* Computing Platforms, Systems and Testbeds
* Data Communication Protocols
* Delay-Tolerant Networking
* Distributed Algorithms
* Energy Efficiency
* Geometric Graphs
* Location Discovery and Management
* Mobility Handling and Utilization
* Mobile Ad Hoc Computing Platforms
* Mobile Social Networking
* Quality-of-Service
* Robot Networks
* Secure Services and Protocols
* Self-Configuration
* Sensor Networks
* Service Discovery
* Timing Synchronization
* Vehicular Networks
* Wireless Mesh Networks
* Wireless Internet

IMPORTANT DATES
Paper Submission: February 17, 2012
Author Notification: March 30, 2012
Final Submission: April 13, 2012

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag, as part
of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series (pending). Each
accepted paper will be included in the conference proceedings, provided
at least one author of the paper registers to present the paper at the
conference. High-quality articles will be invited for submission to a
special issue of Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks: An International
Journal (AHSWN), SCIE-indexed.
