NEtwork MObility (NEMO) support mechanisms has been researched for some years. The purpose of network mobility support is to manage the change of the point of attachment of the mobile router connecting an entire network to the Internet topology. This would allow such a network, known as a "mobile network" (or a NEMO), to migrate in the IP topology. With such an approach to mobility management, anything could potentially be connected to the Internet, particularly PANs (Personal Area Networks, i.e. small networks attached to people and composed of Internet appliances like PDAs, mobile phones, digital cameras, etc.), networks of sensors deployed in vehicles (aircrafts, boats, buses, trains), and access networks deployed in public transportation (taxis, trains, aircrafts, trucks and personal cars) to provide Internet access to devices carried by their passengers (laptop, camera, mobile phone, and even PANs, therefore exhibiting what is referred to as a nested NEMO).

The solution NEMO Basic Support specified by the IETF brings an answer to immediate needs, i.e. maintaining existing connections open, while optmization issues are left for later once research in this topic has reached maturity.

The complexity of the configurations enabled by network mobility (nested mobility, multihomed NEMO, split NEMO) causes new issues, particularly on the routing optimization side. It does also challenge existing mechanisms for security, access control, multicast and quality of service.

The goal of the workshop is to gather researchers in network mobility, to share the experience in implementations, experimentations, and to explore the deployment, usages, and research issues of NEMO-like networks.

The workshop strongly encourages the submission of papers that challenge the research community with revolutionary new approaches, technologies, or usages in the field of NEMO. These "challenge papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues of far-reaching future research. Descriptions of new products or simple evolution of existing work are not appropriate. We solicit full-length papers presenting original and unpublished work including, but not limited to the following topics:

• Routing optimization in nested and non-nested NEMO
• NEMO multihomed issues (multiple MRs, multiple prefixes,multiple interfaces)
• Performance and scalability issues
• Security and Access control mechanisms for nested and non-nested NEMO
• Applications and usages of NEMO Basic Support
• Auto-configuration for NEMO
• Interaction between NEMO and ad-hoc networks (MANEMO)
• Simulation of network mobility (protocols and usages)
• Description of actual implementations/experimentations of NEMO
• Multicast in nested and non-nested NEMO
• Simulation models and tools for network mobility

Workshop papers should be within 4 pages, no extra page is allowed.

The Proceedings of the Symposium and the Workshops will be published, in separated volumes, by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Please follow the instructions on the web page http://infonet.cse.kyutech.ac.jp/conf/saint07/ for preparing your Workshop papers. Author's Kit etc.

Papers should be sent to the Organizers (send your paper to wonemo@nautilus6.org) no later than September 22, 2006. After a review process by Organizers and Program Committee of the Workshop, authors of accepted papers will be requested to send its final manuscript to IEEE-CS press no later than November 1, 2006. So, authors are kindly requested to submit papers as early as possible to facilitate a review process.

It is the IEEE policy that accepted papers can be published only when IEEE recognized that at least one author has registered for presentation. So, authors will be requested to register along with the final manuscript. SAINT Conference Registration fees include a copy of the Conference proceedings, a copy of the Workshop proceedings, admission to the Conference/Workshop sessions.

The date and length (a full or half day) of the Workshop will be decided by SAINT2007 Organizing Committee taking account of the number submitted of papers, and be notified on the SAINT2007 web. Please also note that, according to the SAINT2007 Organizing Committee, the Workshop is subject to cancellation when the number submitted of papers will not be enough.
