Proceedings of the 10th ACM MobiCom Workshop on Challenged Networks

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the Tenth ACM MobiCom Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS'15). Motivated by the need to provide connectivity in situations where communication is desired but traditional Internet technologies fail to provide it effectively, challenged networks continue to attract considerable attention from the networking community. Building on the tradition of previous editions, CHANTS 2015 provides a premier forum for networking researchers from academia and industry to discuss advances and new directions in challenged networks. The workshop features papers dealing with a variety of topics related to challenged network environments, ranging from system issues raised by disconnected operation, content distribution and data muling in device-to-device communication, performance studies, as well as analysis of social encounters and spatio-temporal features of challenged networks. Further, indoor localization as an enabling technology for mobile networks and applications such as disaster relief and emergency services are included. The call for papers attracted 23 full paper submissions and four demo submissions. Out of these submissions we accepted seven full papers (~30% of full paper submissions), three work-in-progress papers, and five demo papers. The program consists of one inspiring keynote presentation by Kevin Fall entitled "Coping with Communications Challenges," followed by a work-in-progress session, two full paper sessions, and a demonstration session.
