Heterogeneous
wireless ad hoc networking covers multi-hop scenarios (network nodes
communicating via other network nodes) such as conference, hospital,
battlefield, rescue, and monitoring scenarios. They operate in a
self-organized and decentralized manner and message communication
takes place via multi-hop spreading. Sensor
Networks, supported by recent technological advances in low power
wireless communications along with silicon integration of various
functionalities such as sensing, communications, intelligence and
actuation are emerging as a critically important disruptive computer
class. In ad hoc and sensor networks, communication and
computing techniques impact information routing in the network, and
vice versa. In the context of this theme, original contributions are
solicited in all relevant areas, including but not limited to:
TOPICS:
Scalable
architecture for heterogeneous wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
Energy

Network
interconnection provides fundamental structure for the function of a
variety of information networking applications at different levels in
all sorts of communication networks as diverse as wireline, wireless,
ad-hoc, mobile and sensor networks, satellite networks and the
Internet. On the other hand, graph theory and algorithm provide
efficient construction and routing protocols for the interconnection
networks. In the context of this theme, we solicited original
contributions in all relevant areas of Graphs and Networks, including
but not limit to:
TOPICS:
Network
structure and graph property, connectivity, transmission delay
(diameter, wide diameter) , and graph container.
Reliability
and fault tolerance, reconfigurebility, and rearrangebility.
Routing
and scheduling, graph algorithms, broadcasting and multicasting,
multipath and container routing, and load balancing.
Network
design and optimization.
Modeling
and measuring the Internet and WWW, and globe networking.

In
Information Technology decisions must typically be made before all
inputs are available. Whether it is setting up virtual circuits in
order to carry IP traffic over ATM networks, deciding whether to
leave a disk spinning in between accesses to data, or keeping cache
coherent in a multiprocessor architecture -- online algorithms play
a crucial role in such diverse areas as
machine learning, robotics, operating systems, network routing,
distributed systems, databases. Techniques from online algorithms are
beneficial in offline situations, when the underlying problems are
too hard to be solved optimally. This track thus seeks contributions
from both areas. Also interesting offline optimization
techniques and algorithmic innovations which can be useful in online
settings are considered.
