MED-HOC-NET 2012
11th Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop
Ayia Napa, Cyprus, 19 - 22 June 2012
http://medhocnet2012.cs.ucy.ac.cy
Wireless ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of the research community
in the last several years, mostly because of the growing interest in a
connected world, where people are
virtually omnipresent. Next generation wireless networks, heterogeneous
access technologies, ad-hoc and sensor networks, and new Internet technologies
are part of this
pervasive environment.
MED-HOC-NET 2012, as its previous 10 predecessors focuses on communication
networking research, especially on new issues in Wireless Ad-Hoc Networks,
which include Application Scenarios, Data-centric Operation, Autonomous
Organization, Optimization and
Control, Operation under Intermittent Connectivity, and Service Creation and
Support. The scope of the workshop also includes new and exciting challenges in
wireless mesh networks,
sensor networks, vehicular networks, delay tolerant and opportunistic networks,
and the opportunities provided or stemming from the social networks paradigm.
As a major annual international workshop, the 11th MED-HOC-NET aims to serve as
a
platform for researchers and visionaries from the academia, the research
laboratories, and the industry to present their latest work.
Following recent successful conferences in Sicily (2006), Corfu (2007), Palma
de Mallorca (2008), Haifa (2009), Juan-les-pins (2010), and Favignana Island
(2011), Med-Hoc-Net 2012
will take place in Ayia Napa (CYPRUS).
