First IEEE International Workshop on Autonomic Wireless Networking (AWN 2009)
Aims and Scope
The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and technologists to present new ideas and contributions in the domain of wireless networking employed to support the needs of future wireless communication systems. To deal with the increasing complexity of large-scale wireless networking systems, computers and applications must learn to manage themselves in accordance with high-level guidance from humans - a vision that has been referred to as autonomic computing.
Quality, reliability, security and robustness are specific demands to be provided by future autonomic wireless networks. Cognitive radio has emerged as a promising technology for maximizing the utilization of the limited radio bandwidth while accommodating the increasing amount of services and applications in the wireless networks. Similarly, cross-layer techniques exploit locally available information for providing more robust and scalable wireless communication systems.
The purpose of the First International Workshop on Autonomic Wireless Networking is to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing all aspects of self-organization, adaptive management of available resources, cooperation and detection of selfishness in wireless networks. In doing so, we hope to further build and nurture a community that can work together to realize the vision of large-scale autonomic wireless networks.
