About The Conference: CFP
Wireless on-demand network systems and services have become pivotal in
shaping our future networked world. Starting as a niche application
over Wi-Fi, they can now be found in mainstream technologies like
Bluetooth LE, LTE Direct and Wireless LANs, and have become the
cornerstone of upcoming networking paradigms including mesh and sensor
networks, the Internet of Things, cloud networks, vehicular networks,
disruption tolerant and opportunistic networks, underwater and
intra-body networks.
The challenges of this exciting research field are numerous. Examples include how to make smart use of these novel technologies when multiple technologies or a mix of permanent services and on-demand networking opportunities are available to a network node, how to provide robust services in highly dynamic environments, how to efficiently employ and operate heavily resource-constrained devices, and how to develop robust and lightweight algorithms for self-organization and adaptation. Finally, there are many application-specific challenges.
WONS, now in its thirteenth edition, is a high quality forum to address these challenges. WONS aims to provide a global platform for rich interactions between experts in their fields, discussing innovative contributions in a stimulating environment.
This announcement solicits original contributions of high-quality research providing novel insights on all aspects of wireless on-demand networks and systems; from protocol and network design, modeling, performance evaluation, energy efficiency, QoS models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, application use-cases, to the integration of multiple wireless network technologies.
Topics of interest comprise, but are not limited to:
