Technology,Nirwan.Ansari@njit.edu Prof. Nidal Nasser, University of
Guelph, 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and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and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!
