CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE VTC (Vehicular Technology Conference)  Fall 2003
http://www.vtc2003.org/

October 4-9, 2003
Hyatt Orlando Hotel
Orlando, Florida, USA

Symposium on: "Scalable autonomous networking for self-configuring and
QoS based Ad Hoc Wireless Networks."

Symposium Chair:  Professor Izhak Rubin, Electrical Engineering
Department, UCLA

Original papers are solicited in the area of scalable autonomous and QoS
based ad hoc wireless networks, and UV based C4ISR autonomous networked
intelligent systems (AINS).

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Use of Unmanned Vehicles (UVs), including UAVs and UGVs, for wireless
networking
- Multi tier backbone network oriented architectures
- Mechanisms for supporting quality of service (QoS)
- Scalable routing
- QoS routing
- Power control and spatial reuse Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols
- Network-centric C4ISR systems
- Power aware networking
- Integrated routing and MAC operations
- Cross-layer schemes
- Mobility control
- Robust and survivable ad hoc networks
- Integrated wireless and wireline architectures
