		ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS 
		================================                    Symposium on Ad Hoc Networks           http://adhoc-symposium.site.uottawa.ca/                   (part of WirelessCom 2005)    http://www.ece.queensu.ca/hpages/faculty/safwat/wirelesscom/05/           Sheraton Maui Resort, Kaanapali Beach, Maui, Hawaii, USA                     http://www.sheraton-maui.com/                             June 13-16, 2005           Technical Sponsorship: IEEE TCCC, TCPC, and SSCTC                             Call for PapersWireless ad hoc networks are formed of nodes with wireless communicationcapability without relying on a pre-existing infrastructure. For mostscenarios, the nodes are assumed to be mobile and because of limitedsingle-hop wireless communication range most scenarios require a multi-hopad hoc network. This means they operate in a self-organized anddecentralized manner and message communication takes place via multi-hopspreading. A packet is sent to its target node through a set of intermediatenodes that act as routers. Particular ad hoc network systems include packetradio networks, sensor networks, personal communication systems, rooftopnetworks, inter-vehicle networks and wireless local area networks. Wireless ad hoc networks research concentrates recently on the followingaspects, i)   technical aspects like efficient multi-hop communication,reliability, group communication, power management, and security just tomention some of them,ii)  interworking between ad hoc networks and traditional fixedinfrastructure networks like the Internet andiii) application aspects like rescue scenarios or the emerging field ofvehicular ad hoc networks. This workshop covers the area of ad hoc networking, from physical layer upto applications aspects. In particular, it will cover physical, data link,network and transport layers, as well as applications, security, powermanagement, modeling, simulation and analysis methods in ad hoc networks. It is the goal of this symposium to review ad hoc protocols and models andto reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks. It seeksto provide up to date information on research and development activities inthe rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. Topics of Interest:Submissions must describe original, previously unpublished work that has notbeen simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. Topics of interestinclude, but are not limited to: ·  Physical layer of ad hoc networks,·  IEEE 802.11, Bluetooth and UWB based medium access control,·  MIMO concepts in ad hoc networks,·  Interworking, hybrid networks and wireless internet,·  Security in ad hoc networks,·  Data management issues, query processing, data delivery,·  Routing, broadcasting, multicasting, and geocasting in ad hoc networks,·  Energy-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks,·  Context-aware protocols for ad hoc networks,·  Quality of service in medium access control and routing,·  Applications, Platforms, Frameworks, and history of ad hoc networks,·  Protocols and applications for special-purpose ad hoc networks   like vehicular ad hoc network (e.g. regarding 802.11p, safety applications),·  Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks,·  Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks,·  Methods and tools for ad hoc networks simulation. Submission Guidelines:All papers are limited to 6 pages (IEEE Computer Society proceedingsManuscripts: two column, single-spaced,http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm), including figures and references,using 10 font size, and number each page. Accepted papers will be publishedin the conference proceedings. Prepare your paper in PDF only (Adobe format), paper title, authors' names,affiliations, postal address, phone, fax, and e-mail address of the authors,about 200-250 word abstract, and five keywords. Submissions will be handledelectronically through a conference management system. Further details willbe announced on the website (http://adhoc-symposium.site.uottawa.ca/).
