[Tccc] CFP: 4th IEEE PerCom Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Networking (PWN08)

CALL FOR PAPERS
==============

------------------------------------------------------------------
4th IEEE PerCom Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Networking (PWN08)
<http://www.eecs.orst.edu/~benl/PWN08>

in conjunction with 6th Annual IEEE International Conference on Pervasive
Computing and Communications (PerCom 2008) <http://www.percom.org>

Hong Kong
March 17-21, 2008
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
-------------------
Wireless connectivity, mobility support, location awareness, and
integration of wireless networks to the Internet are key research
challenges inpervasive computing and communications. With the advent of
inexpensive wireless solutions such as WiFi, WiMAX, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and
RFID, a
number of challenges arise when these protocols are applied to wireless
PAN,
home networking, WLANs, wireless mesh networks, Wireless MANs, and
wireless broadband. This workshop seeks papers describing significant
research
contributions to the theory, practice, and evaluation of wireless networks
for pervasive computing. Exploitation of emerging wireless technologies
such as transmit power and rate control, spectral agility, adaptive
carrier sensing, cooperative communication as well as application of
existing
technologies to new applications such as wireless mesh networks and sensor
networks are especially welcomed. Technical papers describing original,
previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another
conference or journal, are solicited.

Workshop topics include (but not limited to):

Media access techniques and protocols
Cognitive and cooperative MAC
Mobility, location, and handoff management
Power management and energy aware protocols
Adaptive transmit and rate control
Spectral agility and cooperative communication
RFID systems and protocols
Cross-layer design in mobile networks
Mobile ad hoc and wireless mesh networks
Distributed wireless sensor networks
Wireless broadcast, multicast, and information diffusion
Integration and internetworking of wired and wireless networks
Wireless MANs and wireless broadband
Self-configuration and distributed algorithms
Quality-of-service issues and traffic management
Network architectures and testbeds
Modelling and performance evaluation
Emerging wireless and mobile applications

SUBMISSION
----------
Authors are requested to submit original papers of no more than 5 pages
(standard IEEE proceedings two-column format), including figures, tables,
and references in PDF format that include contact information of all the
authors to Prof. Ben Lee (benl@eecs.orst.edu). If you have any questions
regarding the submission process, please send e-mail to
benl@eecs.orst.edu.
Note that each accepted paper has to have one author registered as a full
(non-student) technical session attendee. The papers from this workshop
will be published in the proceedings of the 6th IEEE International
Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications by IEEE Press.
