The fifth annual workshop on "WIreless Systems: Advanced Research and Development" (WISARD 2011) will provide a platform for researchers from both academia and industry to present and discuss high quality research and development in the area of wireless systems. It will be held as a part of COMSNETS 2011 in Chancery Pavilion Hotel, Bangalore, India. 

A key goal of the workshop is to expose research students in India to front line research in wireless systems, and provide a platform for them to interact with leading researchers from India and abroad. 

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research covering all layers of the protocol stack: physical to application. Submissions must be unpublished, original, and not more than 6 pages in length.

They should not be currently under review for publication in any other venue. We especially encourage submissions on wireless/network systems targeted for the developing world. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 
  • Wireless applications and services
  • Mobility and location management
  • Network topology and architecture
  • Security, privacy, anonymity
  • Transport, routing, MAC layer issues
  • PHY layer techniques for wireless
  • Information theory applied to wireless networks
  • Cross-layer interactions and optimizations
  • Power management, especially for rural systems
  • Wireless test-beds or real-world deployments
  • Performance analysis and measurements
  • Sensor networks, especially application centric
  • Novel systems and applications for emerging markets
  • Green communications

Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings published by IEEE.
