- Invited speakers talks are online

Ad-Hoc networks are wireless, self-organizing systems formed by
cooperating nodes within communication range of each other that form
temporary networks. Their topology is dynamic, decentralized, ever
changing and the nodes may move around arbitrarily. The last few years
have witnessed a wealth of research ideas on ad-hoc networking that
are moving rapidly into implemented standards. Following previous
Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless conferences in Morelia, Mexico (2007),
Ottawa, Canada (2006), Cancun, Mexico (2005), Vancouver, Canada
(2004), Montreal, Canada (2003), and Toronto, Canada (2002), the 7th
International Conference on Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless will take
place at INRIA Sophia Antipolis Mediterranee, Sophia Antipolis,
France, September 10-12, 2008.
