IEEE/IFIP WONS 2008 - For Authors: Call for Paper, Paper Submission, Camera Ready Instructions

Camera-ready Papers - Final Paper Format and Submission

Authors of accepted papers should prepare and submit the final camera-ready paper by final paper submission deadline (i.e. December 7th). Total paper length (including illustrations and references) should be 4 pages for short papers and 8 pages for full papers respectively.

Authors must submit their papers in Portable Document Format (PDF), via the EDAS conference system. The document must not be encrypted, locked, or otherwise write-protected.

For the camery ready versions of papers it is mendatory to use the (unaltered) templates provided on this site:

Template for Microsoft Word.
Template for LaTeX. For easy formatting, please include your paper in the source file
```
bare_conf.tex
```
provided in the archive.

PDF Conformance

To facilitate the PDF conformance checking or to create a PDF file conforming IEEE demands out of your source, we have registered WONS 2008 at IEEE PDF eXpress. In order to check your manuscript for PDF conformance, please create an account at the IEEE PDF eXpress site using the conference ID WONS08 and upload your file(s). After your manuscript has successfully been checked, upload the respective PDF file on the EDAS conference system.

Copyright

IEEE policy requires that, prior to publication, all authors or their employers must transfer to the IEEE in writing any copyright they hold for their individual papers. Transferring copyright is a necessary requirement for publication, except for material in the public domain or which is reprinted with permission from a previously published, copyrighted publication.

The Copyright Form can be downloaded from this site as PDF and MS Word files. You need to include your paper's EDAS number, paper title and all authors in the relevant sections. Please return the Copyright Form by December 10th 2007. Any forms not received by this date will mean the paper will not be included in the Proceedings or in IEEE Xplore. The Form must include the EDAS Paper Number in the top right corner. It can be faxed to: +49 721 608-6789 or sent via email (signed versions only) to killat@tm.uni-karlsruhe.de. If emailing your form, please ensure that the signature can be clearly seen when the form is printed.

             CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE/IFIP WONS 2008 
             The Fifth International Conference on Wireless 
             On-demand Network Systems and Services 

             January 23-25, 2008. Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
             http://www.tm.uka.de/wons2008
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Scope of the conference
-----------------------
With the increasing variety of wireless technologies, ubiquitous connectivity
and service provisioning more and more complements traditional,
infrastructure-based cellular networks. WLANs, WiMax, Mobile Ad-hoc networks as
well as vehicular networks and sensor networks are popular examples. The goal
is to provide services "on demand" with minimal planning and management
effort as well as with little dependency on existing network infrastructures.

On-demand provisioning of services in such infrastructure-less environments is
a challenge in itself. Methods for self-organisation are strongly required to
enable this vision. Other challenges are posed by the architectures suited for
different networks and applications (e.g., specialized architectures for sensor
networks) also raising issues with respect to interoperability.

WONS is now at its fifth edition and is still confronted with new technical
challenges and new application demands. As such it provides a premier forum for
high quality paper presentations and lively discussions.

For this conference we request submissions of high quality research papers on
"wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and
network design, modeling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability
models, QoS models, practical implementations, service level aspects and
Internet integration of wireless networks.

Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks, mesh networks, vehicular networks
and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to:
   * Architecture and Design
   * Analysis through simulation and experimental evaluation
   * Modeling 
   * Internet integration
   * Social and economic aspects
   * Pervasive / ubiquitous computing
   * Localization and mobility management
   * Security
   * Energy-efficient protocols and power management
   * Applications and Service Support 
   * Data dissemination and Peer-to-Peer systems
   * Middleware aspects
   * Self-X and network management


Manuscript submissions
----------------------
Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under
review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit
double-column full (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages) in PDF format having a
font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research
directions, ongoing work, visionary, innovative ideas. Further submission
instructions will be published on the conference web site.
