Workshop on Ubiquitous Wireless Communications
(in conjunction with Ubicomp 2005)

Tokyo, 11 September, 2005
Call for Position Papers

Papers

The goal of the workshop is to share understandings and experiences, to foster research communities, to learn from each other and to envision future directions for ubiquitous networking technologies.

Specific topics of interest include the following issues for ad hoc networks, sensor networks and other wireless networks :

Media access techniques
Power-aware, low-power and energy-efficient designs
Hardware and software platforms, systems and testbeds
Performance evaluation and QoS control
Timing synchronization

Please consult the program co-chairs Shiro Sakata <sakata@p08.itscom.net> and Albert Krohn <krohn@teco.edu> if you are uncertain whether your paper falls within the cope of the workshop.
