               International IEEE Workshop on
    Specialized Ad Hoc Networks and Systems (SAHNS 2007)
               Toronto, Canada, June 29, 2007

                     In conjunction with
         the IEEE 27th International Conference on
         Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2007)
----------------------------------------------------------

The Workshop, held in conjunction with IEEE ICDCS 2007, provides a forum 
for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to 
present their latest research findings in specialized ad-hoc networks 
and systems.

Rather than looking for one-size-fits-all general solutions in the are 
of ad hoc networking and systems, maybe in vain, we want to stimulate 
the application-oriented divide-and-conquer approach to ad hoc network 
and system research. The goal is to provide sound, efficient specialized 
ad hoc networks and systems (SAHNS) suitable for building solutions 
specific for well-defined classes of applications or even individual 
applications.

Very popular MANETs, sensor networks, and P2P systems are perhaps the 
best known examples of extremely broad, though already specialized, 
subclasses of ad hoc networks. We prefer to include in the scope of this 
Workshop only more specialized varieties of MANETs, sensornets, and 
P2Ps, excluding their fully general kinds.

Examples of SAHNS that we want included are vehicular ad hoc networks 
(VANETs), incident area networks (IANs), and opportunistic networks 
(oppnets). VANETs enable vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside 
networking. IANs are dedicated to single incidents or events. An IAN can 
be pre-deployed for a planned event, such as a sporting or "nationally 
significant" event, or can be dynamically deployed for an unplanned 
incident, such as a local law enforcement situation or a natural 
disaster. Oppnets react to a lack of resources by finding and 
incorporating  "helpers" that have needed resources or services. They 
are suitable for many application scenarios, including but not limited 
to emergency response situations.

We want to consider both specialized ad hoc networks and specialized ad 
hoc systems. The latter can be built on top of specialized ad hoc 
networks. Alternatively, they can be constructed independently of 
specialized ad hoc networks, e.g., on top of general-purpose ad ho networks.
