Of interest, but not limited to, are research papers in any of the following areas: * Access Control * Ad Hoc Networks of Autonomous Intelligent Systems * Analytic Methods and Modeling for Performance Evaluation * Application for Ad Hoc Networks * Architectures of Ad-Hoc Networks * Distributed Algorithms for Ad Hoc Networks * Location Discovery and Management * Low Power and Energy-Efficient Designs * Mobile Ad Hoc Computing Platforms, Systems and Testbeds * Quality-of-Service * Routing Protocols (Unicast, Multicast, etc.) * Secure Services and Protocols * Sensor Networks * Self-Configuration * Service Discovery * Timing Synchronization * Wireless Internet PROCEEDINGS ----------- The proceedings of Adhoc Now 2006 will be 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.
