Scope

Mobility is rapidly turning out to be a critical component of many next generation systems. Chief among these include Mobile Vehicular Networks, Mobile Social Networks, Mobile Sensor Networks, Next Generation Cellular Networks among others. While mobility itself has been a well studied topic, the emphasis has for a long time centered around the theme of Mobile AdHoc Networks (MANETs). Unfortunately, many of the assumptions in traditional MANETs including mobility models, purpose/ scope of mobility, social aspects, network scale, and security do not hold in many emerging mobile networks. Consequently, existing theories, architectures and protocols in traditional MANETs for issues like mobility models, data delivery, data management, security, privacy etc. are clearly not enough for emerging mobile networks, and need a ground-up redesign. Furthermore, a vast number of newer problems are emerging in such networks like vehicular safety, fairness in content sharing, mobility centric threats and countermeasures, and newer application paradigms that have hitherto not been explored in sufficient detail.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a technical forum for researchers, practitioners and students to disseminate and exchange original research ideas on important topics in a wide class of emerging mobile networks.

 

Topics of interest

We are soliciting original and unpublished research papers on a broad spectrum of topics in the following areas including (but not limited to):

Mobility models for emerging mobile networks
Cross Layer Optimizations
Security and Privacy
Content Sharing and Management
Intra and Inter Vehicular Communications

Next generation Cellular Networks
Social aspects
Intelligent transportation systems
New Applications for mobile networking
Simulation, Emulation and testbeds for large-scale mobile networks
Performance, scalability, reliability and efficiency of mobile networks
Mobility Centric threats and countermeasures


Paper Submission

Authors are invited to submit original research papers following the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using minimum font size 10. You can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at one of the following web pages:

http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm  OR
http://www.tinmith.net/tabletop2006/IEEE/Format/instruct.htm 

The papers should be at most 6 pages long. They will be carefully evaluated based on relevance, originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. The papers should be submitted electronically here.

Paper submission must include contact addresses of all authors, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses. All papers will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that, if the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the conference. Proceedings of the Workshops will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
