Welcome to the ACM SIGCOMM 2005 Workshops!This year we are pleased to present a program of four excellent workshops: (1) Workshop on experimental approaches to wireless network design and analysis (E-WIND), (2) Workshops on economics of peer-to-peer systems (P2PECON), (3) Workshop on mining data networks (MineNet), and (4) Workshop on delay tolerant networking and related networks (WDTN).Workshops are becoming an integral part of the ACM SIGCOMM week-long Data Communications Festival and their goal is to enhance the ACM SIGCOMM conference technical program and promote cross-disciplinary interactions. In response to the call for proposals, we received a record of 12 workshop proposals, 4 of which were accepted after a review by the SIGCOMM 2005 organizing committee. Reaching out to other communities was probably one of the key factors in our selection process. E-WIND brings together the wireless and data networking communities; P2PECON has been successfully organized in the past two years as an independent workshop and brings together researchers from economics, distributed systems, and data networking; MineNet focuses on the analysis of the vast amount of data that can be extracted from the network and crosses the boundaries of networking, data mining, statistics, and machine learning. WDTN was selected as an emerging topic in data networking that could benefit from a focused workshop that will update researchers on the latest results in the ar.There is a significant amount of logistics and co-ordination required between the four workshops and the ACM SIGCOMM 2005 conference and I would like to thank all the members of the SIGCOMM 2005 organizing committee and several volunteers who made it possible. First, I would like to thank Roch Guerin, Joe Touch, and Jennifer Rexford, for all their guidance during the workshop organization process and for being ready to assist at any time. Jaudelice C. de Oliveira and Honghui Lu managed the local arrangements. Steve Weber was always available to update the web-site with the workshop information, and Andreas Terzis and Christos Papadopoulos handled the registration and financial issues. Saswati Sarkar, and Lisa Tolles at Sheridan Printing led the difficult task of producing the combined proceedings.Last but not least, I would like to thank the organizers of the four workshops: Ed Knightly, Christophe Diot, Emin Gun Sirer, Eric Friedman, Shubhabrata Sen, Chuanyi Ji, Debanjan Saha, Joe McCloskey, S. Keshav, and Kevin Fall. Their hard work together with the excellent contributions of all authors were key in making these workshops successful.

Erasure-coding based routing for opportunistic networks
Routing in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) with unpredictable node mobility is a challenging problem because disconnections are prevalent and lack of knowledge about network dynamics hinders good decision making. Current approaches are primarily based on ...
Practical routing in delay-tolerant networks
Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) have the potential to connect devices and areas of the world that are under-served by current networks. A critical challenge for DTNs is determining routes through the network without ever having an end-to-end connection, ...
Pocket switched networks and human mobility in conference environments
Pocket Switched Networks (PSN) make use of both human mobility and local/global connectivity in order to transfer data between mobile users' devices. This falls under the Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) space, focusing on the use of opportunistic ...
Spray and wait: an efficient routing scheme for intermittently connected mobile networks
Intermittently connected mobile networks are sparse wireless networks where most of the time there does not exist a complete path from the source to the destination. These networks fall into the general category of Delay Tolerant Networks. There are ...
Resource and performance tradeoffs in delay-tolerant wireless networks
Wireless and mobile network technologies often impose severe limitations on the availability of resources, resulting in poor and often unsatisfactory performance of the commonly used wireless networking protocols. For instance, power and memory/storage ...
Multicasting in delay tolerant networks: semantic models and routing algorithms
Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are a class of emerging networks that experience frequent and long-duration partitions. These networks have a variety of applications in situations such as crisis environments and deep-space communication. In this paper, ...
DTN routing in a mobility pattern space
Routing in delay tolerant networks (DTNs) benefits considerably if one can take advantage of knowledge concerning node mobility. The main contribution of this paper is the definition of a generic routing scheme for DTNs using a high-dimensional ...
Network coding for efficient communication in extreme networks
Some forms of ad-hoc networks need to operate in extremely performance-challenged environments where end-to-end connectivity is rare. Such environments can be found for example in very sparse mobile networks where nodes "meet" only occasionally and are ...
