The diffusion  of lightweight, powerful  portable devices, also enriched  with a
variety of sensing capabilities, is  enabling new ways for users to communicate,
and is  laying the  foundation for  the ubiquitous networking  idea to  become a
reality.  Risen from the ashes of  traditional MANETs, which failed to cope with
the variability  of a  network solely made  up from mobile  users, opportunistic
communications have recently  stood out and gained a  lot of research attention.
Opportunistic networking is the enabling strategy for communications in a mobile
network.  The  idea of  opportunistically exploiting extemporary  contacts among
the  users  of the  network  poses  new and  challenging  problems,  as well  as
providing  with novel and  promising opportunities,  to the  networking research
community.  The AOC 2011 workshop will  be a meeting point for people working in
the area  and it will constitute  a forum to exchange  ideas, discuss solutions,
and  share   experiences  among  researchers,   professionals,  and  application
developers, both from industry and academia.   The AOC 2011 workshop will have a
primary  interest   in  the  new  directions   of  opportunistic  communications
represented  by  mobile   social  networking,  content-centric  networking,  and
participatory  sensing.  More  in  general, papers  tackling  issues related  to
opportunistic networking and computing  are welcome.  Original papers addressing
both  theoretical   and  practical   aspects  of  autonomic   and  opportunistic
communications   are  solicited,   as  well   as  papers   describing  prototype
implementations and deployments.


Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

*  Architectures and models for autonomic and opportunistic communications
*  Advanced  technologies  for  enabling  autonomic  and  opportunistic
   communications
*  Tools and techniques for designing, analysing and building autonomic and
   opportunistic networks
*  Scaling laws and fundamental limits in autonomic and opportunistic
   communications
*  Performance modeling of autonomic and opportunistic communications
*  Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and measurements
*  Algorithms, models, and architectures for opportunistic computing
*  Mechanisms, algorithms and testbeds for service provisioning in autonomic
   and opportunistic networks
*  Algorithms, models, and architectures for content centric autonomic and
   opportunistic networks
*  Mobile social networking in autonomic and opportunistic communications
*  Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks
*  Resource management techniques applied to autonomic and opportunistic
   communications
*  Context and social awareness in autonomic and opportunistic networks
*  Routing, transport, and reliability issues in autonomic and opportunistic
   communications
*  Techniques for data dissemination and replication in autonomic and
   opportunistic networks
*  Applications and middleware support for autonomic and opportunistic
   communications
*  Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces
*  Trust, security, and reputation in autonomic and opportunistic
   communications
*  Socio-economic models for  autonomic and opportunistic communications


PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
--------------------------------

Papers should neither have been published elsewhere  nor being currently under
review  by another conference or journal.  Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages,
single  spacing,  double  column,  and  must  strictly  adhere to the template
format.  Guidelines  on  paper  submission  and  formatting  are available  at
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2011/.

Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. At
least  one author of  each accepted paper  is required to register and present
his/her  work at  the workshop.  There  will be no  separate  registration for
workshop, but one single registration will cover both conference and workshops
participation.

Extended versions  of workshop selected papers will be considered for possible
fast  track publication  on  the  Computer Communications  Journal (Elsevier).
