Special Session on "Delay Tolerant, Mobile and Sensor Networks"
16th Euromicro International Conference on
Parallel, Distributed and
network-based Processing
(PDP 2008)
Special Session on
"Delay Tolerant, Mobile and Sensor Networks"
Paper submission deadline: August 1, 2007
Mobile communicating terminals are more and more widely spread. These
include laptops, PDAs, mobile phones, sensors, etc. Most of them
support communication technologies such as Bluetooth, WI-FI or
specific radio systems.
They self organize into networks that exhibit strong mobility and
volatility. Any terminal can appear or disappear from the network at
any time because it has been switched on or off or because it has been
damaged. Radio communication is not reliable either because of
possible interferences and also simply because the users and thus
their equipments move, what can cause sudden ruptures of communication
links. Event when the links do not break, unpredictable delays can
appear.
These characteristics have to be taken into account at all
levels when developing applications for such networks, so as to ensure
delay, rupture and mobility tolerance. The goal of
this special session is to bring together researchers and
practitioners that have experimented on these problems and/or that
have build solutions to help support them.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- applications (including situation management and data fusion)
- middleware
- security
- local computations, P2P and other paradigms
- algorithms
- routing
- simulation
- formal models
- etc.

Submission guidelines
Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 5000 words in length and including a 150-200 word abstract. To facilitate an anonymous reviewing process, the first page of the paper should contain only the title and abstract. Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.
Paper Submission
Papers must be submitted through the conference submission system with
an indication of the name of the special session. Papers must
adhere to the formatting rules of the conference and will undergo the
same review process as other papers submitted to the conference.
