    First International Workshop on Advances in Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (AWSAN 2010)

    Wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs), as a research topic, are currently the subject of intensive world-wide research activities. The sensor technology promises multiple applications: from monitoring an environment in dangerous regions or enemy forces in a battlefield to controlling traffic in streets, inventory in storehouses and tracking patients in
    hospitals. On the one hand, small and cheap sensing devices create possibilities for gathering huge amounts of data in a non-intrusive way. On the other hand, actuators add a new network dimension and capabilities: the whole system can also react to the forthcoming events.

    The goal of the First International Workshop on Advances in WSANs is to gather people from academia and industry and discuss the most emerging issues and future challenges in this area.

    First Workshop on Cooperative Mobile Protocols and Applications (CMPA 2010)

    Cooperative communication has emerged as a promising technique for modern wireless communication systems. Certain characteristics of mobile environments create a natural need for nodes to cooperate among themselves to overcome certain limitations. These characteristics include (1) adverse channel conditions and lack of resources (in terms of bandwidth) which necessitate cooperation at the physical layer (2) lack of infrastructure which creates the need for nodes to cooperate in ad-hoc routing protocols for example. (3) limited-resource devices which might create a need to applications to cooperate and distribute computing tasks and share their excess of processing power. The workshop is seeking papers on on-going research that involves cooperation in mobile environments at any layer of the protocol stack.

    First International Workshop on the Performance Enhancements in MIMO-OFDM Systems (PEMOS 2010)

    Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising modulation technique for high data rate wireless transmission. OFDM combined with multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver (i.e., MIMO) to increase the diversity gain and/or to enhance the system’s performance on time-variant and frequency-selective fading channels, resulting in a MIMO-OFDM configuration. Combining both techniques enables to enhance the overall performance. This workshop brings together academics and active research and development professionals working in the field of wireless communication’s optimization to promote exchange of research ideas and possible collaboration. Audience will be exposed to many performance optimizations in MIMO-OFDM systems and will be able to recognize the impact of such enhancement on the reliability and the efficiency of the standard MIMO-OFDM communication system.

    PEMOS 2010 will introduce the research community (industry, academia, and Government) to the up-to-date research in the area of MIMO-OFDM wireless communication systems and promote team collaboration among organizations having relevant expertise to execute an advanced research in this area.

    Second International Workshop on Network Assurance and Security Services in Ubiquitous Environments (NASSUE 2010)

    This workshop is focused on network assurance and security (NAS) measure, which has become an important research issue in ubiquitous environments (UE). The objective of this workshop is to provide an effective forum for original scientific and engineering advances in NAS issues in UE. It will highlight the various aspects of NAS - especially on the crucial linkage between availability, compliance, and security. NASSUE 2010 aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, developers, and policy makers to share and exchange ideas and to learn about latest developments, problems and solutions related to NAS issues in UE.

    First International Workshop on VEhicular COmmunications and Networking (VECON 2010)

    The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the area of vehicular wireless communications and networking. Significant efforts are being carried out by industry, academia and government agencies to improve safety, decrease fuel consumption, and increase the capacity of existing roadways by exploiting vehicular communications and networking technologies. These technologies, which are generally referred to as VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks) or by the more general term VCS (Vehicular Communication Systems), include vehicle-to-infrastructure, vehicle-to-vehicle communications and can be based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems. The development and deployment of VCS are also considered one of the most critical issues for the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) industry.
