The ever increasing market penetration of smart-phones, tablets, and
netbooks, along with the ubiquitous availability of wireless networks
are deeply influencing the way people live, work, interact, and
socialize. However, the broad popularity and diffusion of innovative
services and applications tailored at mobile users is also raising
challenging research issues that require us to rethink available
mobile technology solutions to meet the emerging needs of a broader
and ever growing user base.

The goal of iCOST'2012 is to bring together researchers and
scientists to present and discuss advances on selected topics in
Mobile & Wireless Networking. The conference aims to address recent
research results and to present their methodologies, models,
technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experiences.

    CALL FOR PAPERS
    ---------------

    MED-HOC-NET 2012
11th Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop
Ayia Napa, Cyprus, 19 - 22 June 2012

http://medhocnet2012.cs.ucy.ac.cy

Wireless ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research
community in the last several years, mostly because of the growing
interest in a connected world, where people are
– virtually – omnipresent. Next generation wireless networks,
heterogeneous access technologies, ad-hoc and sensor networks, and new
Internet technologies are part of this
pervasive environment.
MED-HOC-NET 2012, as its previous 10 predecessors focuses on
communication networking research, especially on new issues in
Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks, which include Application Scenarios,
Data-centric Operation, Autonomous Organization, Optimization and
Control, Operation under Intermittent Connectivity, and Service
Creation and Support. The scope of the workshop also includes new and
exciting challenges in wireless mesh networks,
sensor networks, vehicular networks, delay tolerant and opportunistic
networks, and the opportunities provided or stemming from the social
networks paradigm. As a major annual international workshop, the 11th
MED-HOC-NET aims to serve as a
platform for researchers and visionaries from the academia, the
research laboratories, and the industry to present their latest work.
Following recent successful conferences in Sicily (2006), Corfu
(2007), Palma de Mallorca (2008), Haifa (2009), Juan-les-pins (2010),
and Favignana Island (2011), Med-Hoc-Net 2012
will take place in Ayia Napa (CYPRUS).

Workshop Topics
---------------
The papers solicited cover a variety of topics related to ad hoc,
wireless, sensor, mesh, delay tolerant, and opportunistic networks,
including but not limited to:

*       Routing algorithms and protocols
*       MAC protocols, scheduling, power control, and resource allocation
*       Transport layer protocols for multi-hop networks
*       Middleware for ad hoc networks
*       Application driven architectures and protocols
*       Sensor network applications and protocols
*       Vehicular networks
*       Cognitive radio networks
*       Integration of ad hoc networks with wireless access networks
*       Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes
*       Technology related issues (IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth, ZigBee,
IEEE 802.16, etc.)
*       Self-organization and network (re)configuration
*       Optimization models and algorithms
*       Resource and service discovery
