An ad-hoc network is a small network, especially one with wireless or temporary plug-in connections. Typically, some of the network devices are part of the network only for the duration of a communications session or, in the case of mobile or portable devices, while in some close proximity to the rest of the network. These networks can range from small and static systems with constrained power resources to larger-scale dynamic and mobile environments. Wireless ad hoc networks facilitate numerous and diverse applications for establishing survivable dynamic systems in emergency and rescue operations, disaster relief and intelligent home settings.

 Principles of Ad Hoc Networking:

Principles of Ad Hoc Networking will prove essential reading for graduate students in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics and Physics as well as researchers in the field of ad hoc networking, professionals in wireless telecoms, and networking system developers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on Algorithmics of Wireless Networks, ALGOWIN 2023, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, during September 7–8, 2023.

The 10 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: design and analysis of algorithms, models of computation and experimental analysis.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereedpost-conference proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Foundationsand Practice of Security, FPS 2015, held in Clermont-Ferrand, France, inOctober 2015.

The 12 revised full papers presented together with 8short papers and 2 keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 58submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on RFID, sensors andsecure computation; security policies and biometrics; evaluation of protocolsand obfuscation security; spam emails, botnets and malware.

As well as highlighting potentially useful applications for network analysis, this volume identifies new targets for mathematical research that promise to provide insights into network systems theory as well as facilitating the cross-fertilization of ideas between sectors. Focusing on financial, security and social aspects of networking, the volume adds to the growing body of evidence showing that network analysis has applications to transportation, communication, health, finance, and social policy more broadly. It provides powerful models for understanding the behavior of complex systems that, in turn, will impact numerous cutting-edge sectors in science and engineering, such as wireless communication, network security, distributed computing and social networking, financial analysis, and cyber warfare.

The volume offers an insider’s view of cutting-edge research in network systems, including methodologies with immense potential for interdisciplinary application. The contributors have all presented material at a series of workshops organized on behalf of Canada’s MITACS initiative, which funds projects and study grants in ‘mathematics for information technology and complex systems’. These proceedings include papers from workshops on financial networks, network security and cryptography, and social networks. MITACS has shown that the partly ghettoized nature of network systems research has led to duplicated work in discrete fields, and thus this initiative has the potential to save time and accelerate the pace of research in a number of areas of network systems research.
