    * Routing Protocols (Unicast, Multicast, etc.)
    * Secure Services and Protocols
    * Sensor Networks
    * Self-Configuration
    * Service Discovery
    * Timing Synchronization
    * Wireless Internet

PROCEEDINGS
-----------
As in the past years, we plan to have the proceedings of Adhoc Now 2006
published by Springer-Verlag, as part of the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series.

PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
----------------------------
Authors are strongly encouraged to (but not required to)
submit a 150 word abstract of their paper along with three keywords
by the abstract submission deadline (February 24, 2006). Acceptable
formats for the abstracts are plain text, postscript (PS) and
portable document format (PDF).

Submissions should not exceed 14 pages (including a 150 word
abstract, all figures, tables and references) in Springer Verlag LNCS
format. Acceptable formats for papers are PS and PDF. Submissions
which are not in the appropriate format will be rejected without review.

   All papers will be reviewed for technical merit. Each accepted paper
will be published in the conference proceedings, provided at least
one author of the paper registers to present the paper at the
conference.

All abstract and paper submissions will be handled electronically
at the conference website.

SYSTEM DEMONSTRATIONS
---------------------
Proposals for system demonstrations related to wireless networks
are also solicited. Proposals should not exceed 3 pages in LNCS format
and should include a description of the demo and the equipment to be used.
Potential demonstrators are requested to submit a proposal in PS or PDF
format to one of the Co-Chairs of the Technical Program Committee
(Thomas Kunz -- tkunz@sce.carleton.ca or S. S. Ravi -- ravi@cs.albany.edu)
by May 1, 2006. Please include contact information (postal address, email
address, phone and fax numbers) in the submission.

   Accepted proposals for system demonstrations will be allotted
three pages in the proceedings, provided at least one author
registers to present the demo at the conference.
