2008 International Workshop on Wireless Ad Hoc, Mesh and Sensor Networks (WAMSNet-08) will be held in conjunction with the 2nd International Conference on Future Generation Communication and Networking (FGCN 2008) on December 13th ~ 15th, 2008, in Hainan Island, China. http://www.sersc.org/FGCN2008/.

Scope

This workshop is intended to provide a high-quality forum for researchers and practitioners to present their latest theoretical and practical work in
this rapidly-changing area. Original papers are solicited in all aspects of Wireless Ad Hoc, Mesh and Sensor Networks.

Topics

This workshop covers the area of wireless ad hoc, mesh and sensor networks. This workshop intends to bring together researchers, engineers, and students to present new results, describe work in progress, and explore relationships among their diverse approaches. The topics of the workshop cover, but not limited to, the following:

• Network architectures and protocols
• Media access control
• Routing, multicasting, and broadcasting
• Scheduling and load balancing
• Congestion and admission control
• Topology control
• Mobility and location management
• Quality of service (QoS) issues
• Energy-efficient protocols
• Cross-layer designs
• Network management
• Security and privacy
• Applications and systems
• Pervasive and wearable computing
• Network planning and deployment
• Performance evaluation, modeling and simulation
• Fault resilience and fault isolation
• Data management issues, query processing and data delivery

Submission

Authors are invited to submit original papers: They must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have
submitted in parallel to any other conferences that have proceedings.

All accepted papers in WAMSNet-08 will be included in the conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society(IEEE CS), included in
IEEEXplore database and indexed by EI. Papers must be prepared with only PDF. Please use IEEE CS paper format (See website to download the template in MSWORD or LaTeX). Authors should submit paper with about 4 pages (short paper), 6 pages (regular paper) or 8 pages (full paper: 2 pages extra chage). Submissions must not exceed 8 pages, including tables, references and figures, with only PDF. Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present the paper at the workshop.

The submission should be done according to the guidelines on http://www.sersc.org/FGCN2008/. The extended versions of the accepted and presented selected papers will be published in one of the special issues below

• Springer Journal of Cluster Computing (SCIE), Special Issue on "Algorithm and Distributed Computing in Wireless Sensor Networks" 
• Inderscience International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems  (IJAACS), Special Issue on “Cognitive Radio Systems”
