IEEE Golbecom 2007: Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium - CALL FOR PAPERS

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 of research 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 among researchers 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and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks. 
You are invited to submit original technical papers covering but not limited to the following topics.
