Mobility and Dynamic Networks

Chair: Eric Fleury

Program Committee Members

In wireless, mobile computing, and communications devices, such as portable phones, MP3, Personal Digital Assistants, sensors are becoming increasingly capable of creating and sharing content, and will have an enormous impact on all of us over the next several decades. This track is dedicated to addressing challenges emerging from mobile networking and dynamic computing. The main aim of this track is to explore the dynamics on proliferation, diffusion, rumor, cascade, and self-organization of such kind of networks. With its highly selective technical program, the track will bring together researchers and practitioners from a broad spectrum of research at the interface of networks and information. We are interested in fundamental aspects of network formation and evolution, their algorithmic, modeling, and applications to various real world problems, from social to communication networks. The focus of this track is on distributed computing issues in large-scale dynamic network systems, and not restricted only to the pure wireless context.

This track is devoted to algorithms, theory, and modeling in the context of mobile and dynamic computing and networking. It will cover contributions in both the design and analysis of discrete and distributed algorithms, and the system modeling in the context of mobile, wireless, ad-hoc, sensor networks, and dynamic networking. In particular, it aims at bringing together the practitioners and theoreticians of the field, and is intended to foster cooperation among researchers in mobile computing and researchers in discrete and distributed algorithms.

Papers are solicited in all research and applied areas related to mobile and dynamic computing and networking where discrete algorithms and methods are used, including, but not limited to:

• Approximation Algorithms.
• Attacks on Dynamic Network.
• Distributive Tolerant Network.
• Dynamic Graph Models Algorithms.
• Evolution of the network.
• Localization and Location Tracking.
• Measurement and Data Analysis.
• Modeling and Performance Evaluation (Stochastic Analysis).
• Proliferation, Spreading, and Diffusion in networks.
• Resource Assignment, Management, and Scheduling.
• Robustness and Stability of Networks.
• Security and Fault-Tolerance Issues.
• Selfish behavior and cooperation.
• Wireless Networks (Ad Hoc and Sensor).
