Recent research in a variety of
wireless ad hoc networks, such as mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless mesh networks,
wireless sensor networks, wireless personal area networks, vehicular networks, RFID
networks, and hybrid networks, raises a number of interesting, and difficult, theoretical
and algorithmic issues. This workshop is devoted to distributed algorithms and theoretical
methods in the context of mobile ad hoc and sensor networking and computing. The workshop
is intended to foster cooperation among researchers in mobile ad hoc and sensor networking
and theoreticians in algorithm and theory, and push the theoretical research forward for a
deeper understanding about ad hoc and sensor networking and computing.
This workshop covers the all areas of ad hoc and sensor networking and
computing, from physical issues up to applications, with a focus of theoretical and
algorithmic aspect. In particular, it will cover distributed algorithms, optimizations,
analysis and modeling, randomized algorithms, mechanism design, and theoretical methods in
ad hoc and sensor networking and computing. Specific topics include, but are not limited
to:
- Channel assignment and management
- Coding theory and network coding
- Cryptography, security and privacy
- Distributed algorithms
- Dynamic and random networks
- Dynamic graph algorithms
- Energy conservation methods and protocols
- Localization and location tracking
- Mechanism design and game theory
- Modeling and complexity analysis
- Routing, multicast and broadcast
- Scheduling
- Selfish behavior and cooperation
- Synchronization Protocol optimization
Proceedings will be
published by ACM. Authors should follow the instructions and web links provided on the paper submission page.
