Dear Colleagues,

Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this email, but I just
wanted to update you on some IWWAN 2006 issues (more details below):

- the website, http://www.ctr.kcl.ac.uk/IWWAN2006/, is fully
operational;
- we have secured two first class tutorials by Taieb & Muriel, which are
included in the registration fee;
- best papers will most likely go in extended form into a JWCN special
issue on sensor nets (tbc!);
- deadline is a couple of weeks away, but there is no need to panic.

Also, if you wish to be part of the TPC please let me know.

Kind regards and have a nice weekend,
Mischa.

The 2006 International Workshop on Wireless Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks
(IWWAN 2006) is an ideal opportunity to network and present latest
results in the vibrant area of ad hoc and sensor networks. The workshop
will be held in New York from Wednesday 28th - Friday 30th June 2006 and
is hosted by Bell Laboratories Lucent Technologies. 

Developing from the first event in Oulu in 2004
(http://www.cwc.oulu.fi/iwwan2004/) and the second event in London last
year (http://www.ctr.kcl.ac.uk/iwwan2005/), IWWAN 2006 will highlight
the growing applications and power of ad-hoc and sensor networks in
achieving ubiquitous, pervasive communications in next generation
networks. The workshop will focus on the increasing importance of these
type of architectures in next generation networks including
interoperation with fixed and cellular networks. The list of topics will
include (but is not limited to):

Theory:
- Information theory for wireless ad-hoc networks
- Performance bounds, capacity limits
- Multiple access and capacity analysis
- Capacity of multi-hop networks
- Routing strategies in multi-hop networks
- Throughput and delay analysis
- Heterogeneous wireless networks
- Clustering and cooperative strategies
- Networks for survivability
- Power optimisation strategies
- Sensor network architectures
- Antenna & propagation issues

Applications:
- Positioning and location estimation
- Performance of Mobile IPV6
- 802.11 and Bluetooth networks
- Interoperation with fixed / cellular networks
- Ad-hoc wireless extensions to the Internet
- UWB networks
- Test-bed performance
- Tools for system analysis
- Pervasive / ubiquitous systems
- Implementation issues
- "Value added" services

The schedule is as follows:
- Wednesday 28th June:   Tutorials (no extra fee)
- Thursday 29th June:    Regular Sessions
- Friday 30th June:      Regular Sessions

Important dates are:
- Submission deadline:   15 March 2006
- Notification:          15 April 2006
- Event start:           28 June 2006

Submission procedures are specified at
http://www.ctr.kcl.ac.uk/IWWAN2006/.
