MobiHoc 2013 "Workshop on Airborne Networks and Communications"

Airborne networks are mobile ad hoc networks consisting of manned and
unmanned air vehicles as well as ground
vehicles. The ability of air vehicles to communicate voice, video, and data
offers enhanced safety and
efficiency for Next Generation airborne networks. Airborne networks can
benefit many civilian applications
such as air-traffic control, border patrol, and search and rescue missions.
This workshop is an opportunity
for researchers engaged in airborne networking to discuss state-of-the-art,
share their research with their
peers, and develop directions for future research in this emerging field.
The topics of interest include, but
are not limited to the following:

Communication and information foundations and fundamental limits
Models for mobility, connectivity, and coverage
Cyber-Physical System perspective of airborne networks
Airborne/Satellite Communication and networking platforms and strategies
Ad hoc routing protocols
Security protocols (authentication, and integrity verification of
communicating agents)
Swarming, collaboration, and self-organization
Network trials, test-beds, experiments, and measurements
Applications of airborne networking to real world domains such as border
patrol, air-traffic control, search
and rescue missions, and unmanned cargo

**Submission Guidelines**
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers to the
workshop via EasyChair. In contrast to
the main conference, this workshop is a platform to report results with
shorter turn-around time and work-in-
progress. All paper submissions are limited to five pages and must follow
the standard alternate ACM double
column format with at least 10-pt font.
