The Handbook of Algorithms for Wireless Networking and Mobile Computing focuses on several aspects of mobile computing, particularly algorithmic methods and distributed computing with mobile communications capability. It provides the topics that are crucial for building the foundation for the design and construction of future generations of mobile and wireless networks, including cellular, wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks. Following an analysis of fundamental algorithms and protocols, the book offers a basic overview of wireless technologies and networks. Other topics include issues related to mobility, aspects of QoS provisioning in wireless networks, future applications, and much more.

"This Ebook brings together the latest developments and studies of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), which should provide a seedbed for new breakthroughs. It focuses on the most representative topics in MANETs and WSNs, s"

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First Annual International Conference on Wireless Algorithms, Systems, and Applications, WASA 2006, held in Xi'an, China in August 2006. The book presents 63 revised full papers together with 2 invited keynote speech abstracts, organized in topical sections on wireless PAN and wireless LAN, wireless MAN and pervasive computing, data management, mobility, localization and topology control, performance modeling and analysis, security and more.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third Annual International Conference on Wireless Algorithms, Systems, and Applications, WASA 2008, held in Dallas, TX, USA, in October 2008. The 35 revised full papers presented together with 3 keynote talks and 15 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. Providing a forum for researchers and practitioners, from the academic, industrial and governmental sectors, the papers address current research and development efforts of various issues in the area of algorithms, systems and applications for current and next generation infrastructure and infrastructureless wireless networks.

The huge and growing demand for wireless communication systems has spurred a massive effort on the parts of the computer science and electrical engineering communities to formulate ever-more efficient protocols and algorithms. Written by a respected figure in the field, Handbook of Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing is the first book to cover the subject from a computer scientist's perspective. It provides detailed practical coverage of an array of key topics, including cellular networks, channel assignment, queuing, routing, power optimization, and much more.

ALGOSENSORS, the International International Workshop on Algorithmic - pectsofWirelessSensorNetworks, isanannualforumforpresentationofresearch on all algorithmic aspects of sensor networks, including the theory, design, an- ysis, implementation, and application of algorithms for sensor networks. The 5th edition of ALGOSENSORS was held during July 10-11, 2009, on Rhodes, Greece. There were 41 extended abstracts submitted to ALGOSENSORS this year, and this volume contains the 21 contributions selected by the Program C- mittee. All submitted papers were read and evaluated by at least three Program Committeemembers, assistedbyexternalreviewers.The?naldecisionregarding every paper was taken following an electronic discussion. The proceedings also include two two-page-long Brief Announcements (BA). TheseBAsarepresentationsofongoingworksforwhichfullpapersarenotready yet, or of recent results whose full description will soon be presented or has been recently presented in other conferences. Researchers use the BA track to quickly draw the attention of the community to their experiences, insights and results from ongoing distributed computing research and projects. ALGOSENSORS 2009 was organized in cooperation with the EATCS and ICALP 2009.

The availability of cheaper, faster, and more reliable electronic components has stimulated important advances in computing and communication technologies. Theoretical and algorithmic approaches that address key issues in sensor networks, ad hoc wireless networks, and peer-to-peer networks play a central role in the development of emerging network paradigms. Filling the need for a comprehensive reference on recent developments, Handbook on Theoretical and Algorithmic Aspects of Sensor, Ad Hoc Wireless, and Peer-to-Peer Networks explores two questions: What are the central technical issues in these SAP networks? What are the possible solutions/tools available to address these issues? The editor brings together information from different research disciplines to initiate a comprehensive technical discussion on theoretical and algorithmic approaches to three related fields: sensor networks, ad hoc wireless networks, and peer-to-peer networks. With chapters written by authorities from Motorola, Bell Lab, and Honeywell, the book examines the theoretical and algorithmic aspects of recent developments and highlights future research challenges. The book's coverage includes theoretical and algorithmic methods and tools such as optimization, computational geometry, graph theory, and combinatorics. Although many books have emerged recently in this area, none of them address all three fields in terms of common issues.
