----------------------------------------------------------------------

Wireless multi-hop communication is envisioned in
multiple scenarios where network nodes communicate via
other network nodes: conferences, hospitals,
battlefields, rescue operations, environment control,
cars-to-cars, and monitoring scenarios. Wireless mesh
networks have been applied as alternatives for
providing Internet access in remote business and
residential areas. Wireless sensor networks are being
deployed for several industrial control processes and
for monitoring environment. This conference aims to
address multi-hop ad-hoc and sensor networks systems,
covering topics ranging from technology issues up to
the applications aspects.

Original contributions are solicited in all areas of
(mobile) ad hoc networking and sensor systems and
applications. Topics include, but not limited to:

- physical layer impact on higher level protocols
- MAC protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks
(802.11, 802.15.4, UWB)
- Provisioning of wireless QoS in terms of bandwidth
and delay assurance
- Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast,
geocast) and routing metrics
- Data transport in wireless ad hoc and sensor
networks
- Power-aware and energy-efficient design
- Topology construction and coverage maintenance
- Cross layer design and optimization
- Incentives and game theoretic approaches in wireless
ad-hoc networks
- Localization and synchronization in wireless sensor
networks
- Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in
wireless sensor
- Reliability, security, and trustworthiness issues in
ad hoc and sensor networks
- Operating system and middleware support
- Measurements and practical experience from
experimental systems and test-beds
- Modeling, analysis and performance evaluation
- Mesh networking
- Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking
- Handoff and mobility management and seamless
internetworking
- Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution
wireless ad hoc networks
