Dear Colleagues,

of ??Ad-Hoc, Mobile and Wireless Networks?? (ADHOC-NOW 2015), June 29 - July 2, 2015, Athens, Greece.

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS
**********************************************************************************************************************
Special Track on Distributed Computing with Mobile Agents
Part of Ad-Hoc, Mobile and Wireless Networks (ADHOC-NOW 2015)
June 29 ? July 02, 2015, Athens, Greece
http://www.netmode.ntua.gr/adhocnow2015/Track3-index.html
**********************************************************************************************************************
SCOPE OF THE SPECIAL TRACK
The concept of Mobile Agents in Distributed Computing has been studied a lot, especially during the last 15 years. A mobile agent is an autonomous, goal-oriented software entity that can migrate from one host to the next, while executing its orders and interacting with the environment. Mobile agents have proved to be a powerful tool for designing and analyzing distributed algorithms for applications in network maintenance, electronic commerce, robotic exploration, wireless mobile ad-hoc networks, and networks of mobile sensors. Although many applications one has in mind for mobile agents can generally be solved by more traditional distributed computing approaches (i.e., message passing), often the use of mobile agents offers a number of advantages including efficiency, fault-tolerance, flexibility and ease of use. Many algorithmic models for the agents (usually modelled as automata) and their working environment have appeared in the literature in an effort to study and evalu!
ate theoretically and also practically the above claims in the exploration of an unknown and possibly hostile environment. The complexity and computability of more basic tasks have also been studied, like the gathering of agents at a point, the discovering of harmful nodes or agents, building a map or verifying some global property of the environment etc.
The goal of this session is to bring together researchers working in this area in order to present their work and exchange new ideas and results, to identify new outstanding open problems and to foster new collaborations. Apart from regular submissions and presentations we plan to have a couple of invited talks on current research topics and open problems. We encourage the participation of PhD students and post-doctoral fellows willing to be exposed to important problems in this growing field.
**********************************************************************************************************************
TOPICS OF INTEREST
The topics of the session focus on the algorithmic aspects in mobile agent computing and include (but are not limited to):
- Distributed algorithms, computability and complexity
- Fault tolerance, reliability and security
- Game-theoretic approaches to distributed computing
- Cryptographic techniques in distributed computing
- Distributed computing issues in social networks
- Autonomous robots in terrains
- Graph searching

researchers from Computer Science, Economics, Physics, Biology and
Mathematics to present and discuss original research at the intersection
of Computation and Game Theory.
SUBMISSIONS

Authors are invited to submit contributions for possible presentation at
the conference. Foundational work is solicited on topics including but
not limited to:
- Solution Concepts in Game Theory
- Efficiency of Equilibria and Price of Anarchy
- Complexity Classes in Game Theory
- Computational Aspects of Equilibria
- Computational Aspects of Fixed-Point Theorems
- Algorithmic Mechanism Design

- Cost-Sharing Algorithms and Analysis
- Economic Aspects of Distributed Computing
- Internet Economics and Computational Advertising
Industrial application works and position papers presenting novel ideas,
issues, challenges and directions are also welcome.
Submissions can take the form of regular papers or brief announcements.
Regular Submissions
-------------------
Regular submissions should take the form of an extended abstract of no
more than 12 pages (including title page and references) presenting
original research. They will be evaluated on significance, originality,
technical quality, and exposition. They should clearly establish the
research contribution, its relevance, and its relation to prior
research. The abstract must be prepared with Springer LNCS-style. If
necessary, the submission may be supplemented with a clearly marked
appendix, which will be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee.
The symposium proceedings shall be published by Springer in its LNCS
series. Accepted regular papers are presented in at most 12 pages. In
order to accommodate the publishing traditions of different fields,
authors of accepted papers can publish only a one page abstract in the
proceedings, along with a URL pointing to the full paper. This option is
available to accommodate subsequent publication in journals that would
not consider results that have been published in preliminary form in a
conference proceedings.
Simultaneous submission of regular papers to another conference with
published proceedings is not allowed. Results previously published or
presented at another archival conference prior to SAGT, or published (or
accepted for publication) at a journal prior to the submission deadline,
will not be considered for regular papers. Simultaneous submission of
results to a journal is allowed only if the author intends to publish
the paper as a one page abstract in SAGT'14. Papers that are accepted
and appear as a one page abstract can be subsequently submitted for
publication in a journal but may not be submitted to any other
conference that has published proceedings.
Brief Announcements
-------------------
Brief announcements present research that is original and unpublished,
or published, or currently submitted for publication in another
conference or journal. Submissions for brief announcement must be
prepared in LNCS-style, limited to at most 2 pages, and start their
title with "Brief Announcement:". Accepted brief announcements are
presented in at most 2 pages in the proceedings and by a short
presentation at the conference. Every rejected regular submission will
also be considered for invitation as brief announcement.
It is expected that all accepted contributions, regular papers and brief
announcements, are presented by one of the authors at the conference.
Additional information will be available on the conference webpage at
http://sagt2015.mpi-inf.mpg.de
Submission is done via Easychair:
