Wireless Algorithms, Systems, and Applications

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third Annual International Conference on Wireless Algorithms, Systems, and Applications, WASA 2008, held in Dallas, TX, USA, in October 2008. The 35 revised full papers presented together with 3 keynote talks and 15 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. Providing a forum for researchers and practitioners, from the academic, industrial and governmental sectors, the papers address current research and development efforts of various issues in the area of algorithms, systems and applications for current and next generation infrastructure and infrastructureless wireless networks.
