SAHNS 2011
The Third International Workshop on
Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems
Minneapolis, USA, June 23, 2011
http://www.cs.wmich.edu/~alfuqaha/SAHNS2011/
In conjunction with the IEEE 31st International Conference
on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2011)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SCOPE
The Workshop provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia,
industry and government to present their latest research findings in
specialized ad hoc networks and systems.
As an alternative to one-size-fits-all general solutions in the area of
ad hoc networking and systems, we want to stimulate the
application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network and
system research. The goal is to provide sound and efficient specialized
ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS), suitable for building solutions
specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual
applications.
We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad
hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc
networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of
specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad hoc
networks.
It should be emphasized that SAHNS is interested only in solutions
specific to specialized ad hoc networks and systems. The Workshop is not
interested in broad general-purpose solutions for all ad hoc networks
and systems, or in generic solutions for extremely broad subclasses of
ad hoc networks and systems. For example, the Workshop is not interested
in general-purpose solutions for all sensornets or all P2P systems but
is instead interested in specialized solutions for their
application-oriented subclasses.
One example of SAHNS targeted by this workshop are Incident Area
Networks (IANs), dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be
pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally
significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned
incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural
disaster. Another example are opportunistic resource utilization
networks (e.g., oppnets), in which the network reacts to a lack of
resources by finding and incorporating "helpers" that have needed
resources or services.
Areas and topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
a) Design issues for SAHNS:
o Novel network and system architectures
o Economically-based models and solutions (incl. incentive-based
techniques)
o Operating systems and middleware
o Customized network protocols (incl. cross-layer and Layer 2.5
protocols)
o Resource management solutions (incl. discovery and integration of
resources)
o Algorithms and models for localization and mobility management
o Privacy, security, and trust
o Reliability and dependability
o Novel hardware platforms
b) Development issues for SAHNS:
o Development methodologies, models and tools
o Analytical and validation models
o Performance evaluation and modeling (incl. simulation tools)
c) Operation and management issues for SAHNS:
o Topology control and management
o Energy control and management
o Resource and service discovery and control
o QoS provisioning and management
o Data management, data aggregation, data dissemination, and
query processing
o Assuring survivability and reliability
o Controls for privacy, security, and trust management
d) Application issues for SAHNS:
o Best current and future applications for SAHNS
o Experience with SAHNS deployments and products
o Social and business impacts of SAHNS-based applications
2. PAPER SUBMISSION
Papers must be submitted in the PDF format, with numbered pages. They
should have no more than 6 pages following the IEEE Computer Society
proceedings format (8.5 by 11 inch sheets, double-column, 10 point or
larger font, single-spaced).
The following information must be provided on the first page:
o Paper title
o Full names, affiliations and email addresses of all authors
o An abstract (up to 150 words)
o Five to ten keywords/phrases
o A footnote with the indication of the corresponding author,
plus the complete address, phone and fax numbers of the
corresponding author
Papers should be submitted by emailing them to:
llilien@wmich.edu
Each received submission will be confirmed, usually within no more than
two workdays.
3. PAPER REVIEW AND PUBLISHING
Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers and their
comments will be provided to the authors.
If accepted, the paper will be published in the workshop proceedings by
the IEEE Computer Society Press, provided that at least one of its
authors registers for ICDCS (which includes SAHNS) by the early
registration deadline.
Information on indexing publications for the events of the IEEE Computer
Society is available at:
http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/benefits#indexing
We plan a special issue of an international journal with extended
versions of the selected SAHNS papers.
