   CFP: IEEE  MHWMN'2005

The IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi-Hop Wireless and
Mobile Networks 2005 (IEEE MHWMN'05)

 (http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~qzeng/MHWMN2005/CFP.html)

To be held in conjunction with the 2nd IEEE International Conference
on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2005) Washington DC, USA,
November 7-11, 2005

=========================================================================

AIM and SCOPE
-------------
The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are based on
single-hop architecture and rely on the existing fixed infrastructure
such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment
of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, and Wireless
PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range,power,
mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous
access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous
environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the
application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available
(e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop
wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility
and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic
network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing
multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc
networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack.
Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture
and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks
 (e.g., cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and researchers
from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and
technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions
in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking
original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical
and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks.

SUBMISSIONS
-----------
Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength,
significance and quality of presentation. The manuscript must follow IEEE
two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text.
The maximum manuscript length is eight (8) pages. Authors are requested
to submit their papers (PDF format), contact addresses, telephone number,
fax number, and e-mail addresses (text format) to the co-chairs Qing-An Zeng
