About The Conference: CFP
The 22nd IFIP International Conference on Wireless On-demand Network
Systems and Services (WONS) provides a premier forum for researchers and
practitioners to exchange ideas and present advances in wireless
on-demand networking. WONS fosters in-depth discussions and close
interaction within a collaborative and stimulating environment.
Within this context, wireless on-demand networking has evolved from a niche Wi-Fi capability into a key enabler of modern technologies, including Bluetooth LE, LTE Direct, WLANs, and emerging 5G/6G systems. It is now central to diverse paradigms such as mesh and sensor networks, vehicular systems, cloud-edge infrastructures, and opportunistic and disruption-tolerant networks.
The field raises important challenges, including managing heterogeneous technologies, ensuring reliable performance in dynamic environments, and supporting resource-constrained devices. Designing lightweight, adaptive mechanisms for self-organization and resilience remains a key research direction.
We invite original, high-quality contributions on all aspects of wireless on-demand networks and systems, including protocol and network design, modeling and performance evaluation, energy efficiency, QoS mechanisms, practical implementations, applications, and the integration of multiple wireless technologies.
Topics of interest comprise, but are not limited to:

Manuscript Submission
Authors are invited to submit their work in one of the following categories:
Submissions must be in PDF format and follow the double-column IEEE conference style, with a font size no smaller than 10pt. Long and short papers must be written in English and be at least 5 and 3 pages in length, respectively. The mandatory IEEE templates (Microsoft Word and LaTeX) are available on the IEEE templates page. Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere and must not be under review by another conference or journal. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Submission implies that at least one author is willing to register and present the paper at the conference. Accepted works will be submitted for inclusion to IEEEXplore.
Manuscript submission is available via EDAS: https://edas.info/N35454.
- Long papers (up to 8 pages): These should describe novel research contributions.
- Short papers (up to 4 pages): These should present future research directions and ongoing work with visionary and innovative ideas.
- Posters (up to 2 pages): These should present preliminary results, work in progress, or ideas suitable for interactive discussion.
