The Second ACM International Workshop on Foundations of Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking and Computing

The 2nd ACM International Workshop on Foundations of Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networking and Computing (FOWANC 2009) will be co-located with ACM MobiHoc 2009 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.

Wireless ad hoc networking and computing research has been concentrated on multi-hop scenarios, which have attracted much attention due to potential applications such as conference, hospital, battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios. Much work has been done in protocol and system design for networking and communication, simulation, and experimental study. Recent research in a variety of wireless ad hoc and sensor 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 wireless ad hoc and sensor networking and computing. The workshop is intended to foster cooperation among researchers in wireless ad hoc and sensor networking and theoreticians in algorithm and theory, and push the theoretical research forward for a deeper understanding about ad hoc networking and computing. The first FOWANC workshop was held in Hong Kong, China in conjunction with ACM Mobihoc 2008.
