Workshop on Ad hoc and Sensor Networks

To be held in conjunction with

2004 International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP-2004)

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

August 15-18, 2004

 

Ad hoc networks are typically a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming temporary networks without the aid of any established infrastructure or centralized administration. As one of the most convincing application of ad hoc networks, sensor networks share the similar definition, but put more stringent resource conditions at each sensor node. Researches in ad hoc networks have led effective means to implement sensor networks and allow sensor nodes to enjoy greater mobility and connectivity. Sensor networks designed for different tasks, including surveillance and monitoring systems for commercial and military applications, are governed by various requirements. These requirements keep challenging researchers in the design of better architectures and protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks.

As more applications of sensor networks are found, we believe that the technological advances in ad hoc and sensor networks will play an important role in our modern civilization. The workshop intends to serve as a platform that brings together all researchers and developers in these fields all around the world to share their research results, to exchange ideas and to explore possible collaborations in academia and in industry. This workshop will focus on fundamental challenges and issues in the fields of ad hoc and sensor networks. Technical topics of the conference include but are definitely not limited to:
