The First ACM/SIGMOBILE International
Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking
Preliminary CALL FOR PAPERS
Opportunistic Networks are one of the most exciting evolutions of the legacy Mobile Ad hoc
Networking (MANET) paradigm, in which the assumption of complete paths between data
senders and receivers is released. Opportunistic Networks enable users communication indisconnected environments, in which island of connected devices appear, disappear, andreconfigure dynamically. The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by theevolving contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In thisview, legacy-Internet connectivity is just a particular connectivity opportunity. Opportunistic
Networks thus encompass the features and methods of delay or disruption tolerant networks(DTN). They are very suitable to support the pervasive networking scenario, in which a huge
number of devices carried by users and embedded in the environment communicate
wirelessly without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure. By enabling end-to-end
communication without requiring complete paths, Opportunistic Networks are much closer toreal pervasive networking scenarios, with respect to the legacy MANET paradigm.
Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols design, development
and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:* Architectures for opportunistic networks* (Killer) applications for opportunistic networks* Middleware services in opportunistic networks* Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks* Resource management techniques for opportunistic networks* Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks* Routing issues in opportunistic networks* Wireless link design and optimisation for opportunistic networks* Opportunistic Networking in Wireless Sensor Networks* Security issues in opportunistic networks* Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks* Mobility models for opportunistic networks* Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opp. networks* Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements* Opportunistic networks performance modeling
Papers Submission and Publication
Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions
for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, andappendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the textof your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding themaximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingnessof at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. Please check out theworkshop website for the complete instructions.
