				CALL FOR PAPERS

			First International Workshop on
			Mobile Opportunistic Networking
				 MobiOpp 2007
			http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07

			co-located with ACM MobiSys 2007

			     jointly organized by
				IIT-CNR, Italy
				   UCLA, USA

				June 11, 2007
			       Puerto Rico, USA

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 in disconnected environments, in which
island of connected devices appear, disappear, and reconfigure dynamically.
The network is thus extremely dynamic, and is formed by the evolving
contacts among mobile devices, and among connected clouds of devices. In
this view, 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 to real 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

PAPER 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, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for
submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be
smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of
8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingness
of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper.
For more information please refer to http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp07.

Extended versions of workshop selected papers will be considered for
possible fast track publication on the Pervasive and Mobile Computing
Journal (Elsevier).
