ACM CoRoNet 2009 has recieved an outstanding number of paper registrations so far. However we got many requests from the authors that submission deadline extension by one week would be very helpful. Therefore for the last time we extend the submission deadlines for ACM CoRoNet 2009. This is the final extension so please hurry!

Submission Deadlines Extended

Call for Papers

04.11.09

Spurred by recent advances in software defined radios and cognitive radios, cognitive wireless networking has emerged as a promising approach to address several challenges affecting the networks of today, including spectrum efficiency, interference management, coexistence and interoperability. Cognitive networks are agile and adaptive to users'demand and characteristics of the wireless medium. Wireless devices in cognitive networks are capable of learning and predicting the state and behavior of coexisting network components and adversary devices, and capable of dynamically sharing the spectrum and computational resources in temporal, spatial, and frequency domains.

Original papers describing both experimental and theoretical results in cognitive networking are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Models and fundamental limits of cognitive networking;
  • Connectivity, capacity, and scalability of heterogeneous systems via cognitive networking;
  • Impact of traffic pattern, topology, mobility, and interference tolerance on cognitive networking;
  • Statistical inference and cognition from measurements that are inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and delayed;
  • Sensing and feedback mechanism in cognitive networking and the associated cost;
  • Cognitive MAC, multicast, and routing protocols for heterogeneous networks with highly dynamic topology;
  • Transient behavior and stability analysis in cognitive networking;
  • Security and robustness issues in cognitive networking;
  • Cognitive spectrum sharing, coexistence, and interoperability
  • Auction and pricing models for dynamic spectrum sharing;
  • Cognitive radio test-beds and hardware prototypes.
