style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:#660000'>Wireless multi-hop communication
is envisioned in multiple scenarios where network nodes communicate via other
network nodes: conferences, hospitals, battlefields, rescue operations,
environment control, cars-to-cars, and monitoring scenarios. Wireless mesh
networks have been applied as alternatives for providing Internet access in
remote business and residential areas. Wireless sensor networks are being
deployed for several industrial control processes and for monitoring
environment. This conference aims to address multi-hop ad-hoc and sensor
networks systems, covering topics ranging from technology issues up to the
applications aspects. Original manuscripts that focus on the analytical
modeling, protocol/algorithm design, and/or experimental studies of the
following topics of interest are sought:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
