nasser@cis.uoguelph.ca SCOPE Multi-hop wireless Ad Hoc and sensor networks
are self-organizing systems formed by co-operating nodes within
communication range of each other that form temporary networks. Ad hoc
wireless networks allow anywhere, anytime network connectivity with complete
lack of control, ownership, and regulatory influence. The last few years
have witnessed a wealth ofresearch ideas on ad hoc and sensor networks that
are moving rapidly into commercialization and standardization. Such networks
can be randomly and rapidly deployed and reconfigured and easily tailored to
specific applications including entertainment!
, civilian, military, etc. Moreover, an ad hoc architecture is highly
robust to node failure and can provide a high-level of fault tolerance due
to nodal redundancy and its distributed nature. Furthermore, energy
efficiency can be achieved through multi-hop routing communication.
Bandwidth reuse can also benefit from dividing the single long range hop to
multiple short hops with each hop having a shorter range. Several challenges
face are standing in the way to achieving ubiquitous deployment of ad hoc
and sensor networks. These include variable topology, device heterogeneity,
limited power supply and the lack of effective energy-efficient design, lack
of QoS and application support,etc. This symposium aims at providing a forum
for sharing ideas amongresearchers and practitioners working on
state-of-the-art solutions to the challenges above. We are seeking papers
that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various
aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks. S!
