    2nd IEEE International Workshop on Heterogeneous Multi-Hop Wireless and
    Mobile Networks 2006 (IEEE MHWMN'06)
   Website: http://www.ececs.uc.edu/~qzeng/MHWMN2006/CFP.htm

In conjunction with IEEE MASS 2006 (www.ieee-mass.org), Vancouver,
Canada, October 9-12, 2006
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AIM and SCOPE

The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks
are based on single-hop architecture and rely on the existing fixed
infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation
and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless
LANs, and Wireless PANs with distinguishing characteristics of data rate,
coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need
for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an
integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular
network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access
networks (RANs) available (e.g., cellular network, ad hoc, WLAN, WPAN
etc). The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the
other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but
introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The
design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless
and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue
to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is
necessary to investigate a global heterogeneous architecture and services
that together provide seamless integration of single-hop networks (e.g.,
cellular, WLAN, WWAN) and multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together practitioners and
researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for
discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future
research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile
networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research
papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous
multi-hop wireless mobile networks.

TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management
Quality of services (QoS) delivery in MHWMN
Seamless Mobility, Vertical Handoff
Robust and scalable routing protocols for MHWMN
MAC protocols for MHWMN
Self-configuration and synchronization for MHWMN
Security issues in MHWMN
Topology control and management for MHWMN
Mobility models and location management in MHWMN
Cross-layer design and interactions for MHWMN
Modeling and performance evaluation for MHWMN
Algorithms for localization and signal processing in MHWMN
Implementation testbeds for MHWMN
Operating systems and middleware for MHWMN
Mesh networks

SUBMISSIONS

Submissions will be judged on correctness, originality,
technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The
manuscript must follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced,
ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is eight (8)
pages. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format), contact
addresses, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail addresses (text
format) to the co-chairs, Qing-An Zeng (qzeng at ececs.uc.edu) and Mieso
Denko (denko at cis.uoguelph.ca) by June 15, 2006.

SPECIAL ISSUE

Some selected high quality papers from the workshop will be
published in the Journal of Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligence (JUCI))
(http://www.juci.org/) as Special Issue on Heterogeneous Mobile and
Wireless Networks. For this purpose, the authors of selected high quality
papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers.
