Wireless networks, be it Wi-Fi access, mobile ad hoc as well as sensor networks, aim at providing ubiquitous connectivity and network centric services to the masses and to massively networked systems. An important attribute of such networks is that they can be deployed "on demand" with minimal planning and management effort as well as with little dependency on existing network infrastructures. Concepts like ambient intelligence and disappearing computers that are part of a global and fully self-organized Internet hint at the scope of this vision, but also at the formidable challenges that come with it.
For this conference we request submissions of high quality research papers on "wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modelling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models, practical implementations, service level aspects and Internet integration of wireless networks.
Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to:
| Full Paper Due | Monday, August 2, 2004 |

| Camera Ready Due | Monday, October 18, 2004 |
Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor
currently be under review by another conference or journal.
For paper submission, a web page with detailed information
will be activated in few days.
All papers will be reviewed by the program committee.
Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings.
Proceedings are planned to be published by IEEE
COMputer SOCiety and will be accessible through IEEE Xplore.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended
version of their papers for possible publication in
special issues of ACM/Kluwer MONET and IEEE Communication Magazine.
