Ad-Hoc networks are wireless, self-organizing systems formed by
cooperating nodes within communication range of each other that form
temporary networks. Their topology is dynamic, decentralized, ever
changing and the nodes may move around arbitrarily. The last few years
have witnessed a wealth of research ideas on ad-hoc networking that
are moving rapidly into implemented standards. Following previous
Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless conferences in Morelia, Mexico (2007),
Ottawa, Canada (2006), Cancun, Mexico (2005), Vancouver, Canada
(2004), Montreal, Canada (2003), and Toronto, Canada (2002), the 7th
International Conference on Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless will take
place at INRIA Sophia Antipolis Mediterranee, Sophia Antipolis,
France, September 10-12, 2008.

Proceedings
-----------
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag as
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) (pending approval). Papers
should have a length of up to 14 pages following the Springer LNCS
format; for more information contact the Springer website at
http://www.springeronline.com/lncs/

Selected papers will be invited to a special issue of Ad-Hoc and
Sensor Wireless Networks, an International Journal.
http://www.oldcitypublishing.com/AHSWN/AHSWN.html

Paper Submissions
-----------------
Papers should be submitted using EasyChair conference management
system http://www.easychair.org/ . We seek original contributions
which must not be submitted in parallel to any other conference.
Papers should be prepared according to the formatting instructions at
the LNCS website, which provides general formatting instructions and
templates/style files for many commonly used word processors (LaTeX,
Word, Framemaker, etc.). The manuscript should not exceed 14 LNCS
pages (including text, figures and references). Authors should submit
PDF version of their papers. Prepare your submission to include the
topic, three keywords and the name of a contact person with e-mail
address. All papers will be reviewed for technical merit. Accepted
papers will be published in the conference proceedings, provided at
least one author of the paper registers to present the paper at the
conference.

LNCS is published, in parallel to the printed books, in full-text
electronic form at http://www.springerlink.com . Authors of accepted
papers therefore need to submit all the electronic files, most
importantly the source files, of all parts of the manuscript as
advised in the instructions on the LNCS website. More instructions
will be sent to authors of accepted papers after the reviewing and
acceptance decisions are taken.


Call for demo
-------------
Ad HOC-NOW highly solicits demonstrations of ad hoc and wireless
systems showing real-systems prototypes at work, thus stimulating
discussions among the attendees. Demonstrations from both academia and
industry related to the topics included in the AD HOC - NOW conference
CFP are encouraged.  Demo proposals must be limited to 3 pages
(conference template) and should include the following:

Goals of the demo and the basic idea that it supports. Any related
publications or technical reports. Equipment to be used for the
demo. Space needed. Setup time required. Additional facilities needed
including power and Internet/wireless access. Indicate a URL with any
extra information, if needed.  Proposals should be sent via email as
PDF file to the Demo/poster session Co-chairs. Please indicate "AD
HOC-NOW 2008 Demo Proposal Submission" as the subject of the email.

All demo proposals will be reviewed by the AD HOC - NOW 2008 Poster
and Demo committee.
