[p2prg] [ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiOpp 2010]: Announcement and Call for Papers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ANNOUNCEMENT and CALL FOR PAPERS
The Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile
Opportunistic Networking
MobiOpp 2010
February 22-23, 2010, Pisa, Italy
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp2010
sponsored by ACM/SIGMOBILE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Opportunistic Networking is one of the emerging communication paradigms
in wireless mobile communications. Opportunistic networks are commonly
defined as a type of challenged networks where communication
opportunities are based on sporadic and intermittent contacts,
disconnections and re-connections may frequently occur, and the
assumption on the existence of an end-to-end path between the source and
the destination is released. As compared to the legacy MANETs, where an
always-connected infrastructure-less network is assumed, opportunistic
networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, where
devices (with sensing capabilities) are carried while users move, and
can connect and disconnect continuously relying their communication
chances on a store-carry-and-forward approach. The aim of MobiOpp 2010
is to bring together researchers working in this emerging area, thus
also providing a reference event for those working on self-organizing
wireless mobile networks which usually exploit the opportunistic
communication paradigm. In this workshop we aim to explore novel
research issues related to all aspects of opportunistic networks.
Original contributions are solicited, being related to systems and
protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas of
Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
* Novel architectures
* Routing protocols
* Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks
* Resource management techniques
* Dissemination and replication techniques
* Opportunistic networking in P2P systems
* Social-aware opportunisitc networking
* Middleware services in opportunistic networks
* Opportunistic networking applications
* Opportunistic networking in wireless sensor networks
* Multimodal urban sensing
* Security issues in opportunistic networks
* Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks
* Mobility models for opportunistic networks
* Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building
opportunistic networks
* Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements
* Opportunistic networks performance modeling
The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM. Extended versions of
workshop selected papers will be considered for possible fast track
publication in the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier)
