3rd Multihop
Wireless Network Testbeds and Experiments
Workshop
International Wireless Communications &
Mobile Computing Conference
Scope | Submission Guidelines | Important Dates | Workshop Chairs | TPC Members
This workshop intends to bring together researchers working in
the broad area of experimental multihop wireless
networking such as MANETs, WSN, VANETs, Wireless Mesh Networks, etc. While many
conferences and workshops provide a venue to present and discuss multihop wireless network protocols or system
architectures, most research work is typically done based on analytical models
and/or extensive simulations. The focus of this workshop is to serve as a forum
to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of multihop wireless networks and systems, and facilitate
discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. The workshop values results and
insights obtained from working implementations more highly than those obtained
solely from simulations, but papers explicitly comparing tested results and
simulation results are highly solicited. Submitted
papers should be original and previously unpublished. The list of topics
includes, but is not limited to:
·
Design & evaluation of wireless testbeds,
prototypes and platforms
·
Validation of existing simulation models, and results across
different testbeds/evaluation methodologies
·
Experiences/lessons from recent testbed
deployments
·
Wireless testbed case studies
·
Industrial application and integrated innovation
·
The use of multihop wireless testbeds in teaching and research
·
Integration of diverse and distributed testbed
infrastructures, testbed federations
·
Testbed
management issues and monitoring support
·
Configurable hardware/software platforms for testbeds
·
Experimental evaluation of applications and protocols
·
Techniques for improving reproducibility of real-world testing
·
Integrated tools/toolkits to ease transition between simulation
and deployment
·
New measurement methodologies and infrastructures
·
Measurement and characterization (modeling) of real-world
aspects of multihop wireless networks such as usage
patterns, traffic, mobility and channel characteristics
·
Innovative measurements methodologies & tools
·
Testbed
tools for interoperability, benchmarking and traffic measurements
Authors are invited to submit original papers of up to
6 pages including figures, tables, and references, in PDF format. Submission
implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper at the conference. Electronic submission
is accepted through the EDAS. Prospective authors are invited to submit
original technical papers—up to 6 pages of length, using the EDAS link: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=13371
for
possible publication in the IWCMC 2012 Conference Proceedings, which will be included
in IEEE Xplore. Selected papers will be further
considered for possible publication in special issues in the following
