Call for Papers
The Workshop, held in conjunction with IEEE ICDCS 2007, provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in specialized ad-hoc networks and systems. Specialized ad hoc systems can be built on top of specialized ad hoc networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad hoc networks. The concept of SAHNS might not have been explicit but the practice of building SAHNS is not new. Very popular sensor networks and P2P systems are perhaps the best known examples of SAHNS. However, since general-purpose sensornets and P2Ps are extremely broad classes of SAHNS, we want to include in the scope of this Workshop only their specialized varieties, excluding the general-purpose sensornets and P2Ps. Other examples of SAHNS are Incident Area Networks (IANs), dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural disaster. Opportunistic networks (oppnets), in which the network reacts to a lack of resources by looking for "helpers" that have needed resources, are yet another example of SAHNS. They are suitable for many application scenarios, including but not limited to emergency response situations. The specific technical issues of particular interest for include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) Design Issues for Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems:
2) Operation and Management Issues for Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems:
3) Application Issues for Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems:
