Sponsored by: IEEE, Air Force, and NSF

Technical demonstrations showing innovative and original research are solicited. In general this conference is interested in demonstrations of technology that validate important research issues or showcase realistic applications in mobile ad-hoc systems and sensor networks. Specific topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

Network protocols for mobile ad-hoc/sensor networks
Operating system and middleware for mobile ad-hoc/sensor networks
Network testbed measurements and benchmarks
Distributed algorithms for energy/topology management, in mobile ad-hoc/sensor networks
Localization in time and space
Novel hardware and software platforms
Simulation and optimization tools
Security and robustness in mobile ad-hoc/sensor networks
Programming and validation methodology
Application of mobile ad-hoc/sensor networks in health care
Social and business impacts of mobile ad-hoc/sensor networks
Novel network architectures

All the demos that are selected will be included in the conference proceedings in the form of 4-page short papers. Please consult the technical co-chair, Jennifer Hou, at jhou@cs.uiuc.edu, if you are uncertain whether your demo falls within the scope of the conference.
