Abstract

The recent growth of high speed wired/wireless access and LANs, functional wireless terminals such as smart phones and tablets, and cost&#8211;effective sensor/tag devices increasingly stimulate the emergence of user&#8211;centric network services collecting and exploiting user&#8211;provided data&#046; Monitoring and notification system of children or elderly people using sensor data is such an example&#046; In order that the networks support these services in the flexible and scalable manners, multihop/relay technique involving user terminals will play a key role&#046; From this perspective, mobile ad hoc and mesh networks, sensor networks and P2P networks have been attracting much attention&#046; These networks typically consist of autonomous nodes without any central control and they should be self&#8211;organizing to handle the growing complexity of the upcoming networks and to adapt to unpredictable change of the network environments&#046; Distributed topology management, resource management and routing are common research challenges in all these networks&#046; The objective of this Workshop is to discuss new approaches and technologies in the field of ad hoc and mesh networks, sensor networks and P2P networks through papers&#046; Particularly, we welcome papers describing protocol designs or performance evaluations both from theoretical and practical aspects, or describing observations and findings from practical experiments&#046;<br>Suggested topics include but are not limited to the followings:<br>&#8211; Network configuration and topology management<br>&#8211; Cross&#8211;layer design and interaction<br>&#8211; Energy efficiency<br>&#8211; Location management, location based services<br>&#8211; Distributed sensing<br>&#8211; Network coding<br>&#8211; Vehicular networks<br>&#8211; Measurement from experimental test&#8211;beds<br>&#8211; Cognitive radio networks<br>&#8211; Medium access control for resource management<br>&#8211; Scalable and robust routing<br><div>with respect to autonomous self&#8211;organizing networks including ad hoc networks/sensor networks/P2P networks&#046;<br></div><div><br></div>
