Scope:

The 11th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2014) will be held in Philadelphia, USA,  2014. Wireless ad hoc communication and mobile networking/computing have applications in a variety of environments, such as conferences, hospitals, battlefields, and disaster-recovery/rescue operations, and are also being actively investigated as an alternative paradigm for Internet connectivity in both urban and rural areas. Wireless sensor and actuator networks are being deployed for enhancing industrial control processes and
supply-chains, and for various forms of environmental monitoring. IEEE MASS 2014 is a three-track conference sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. It aims at addressing research advances in (i) algorithms and theory, (ii) systems, protocol, and applications, and (iii) experimental evaluation and testbeds, in multi-hop wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, covering topics ranging from technology issues to applications and test-bed development.

Topics of Interest:

Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs) (including cyber-physical systems, Internet of Things), and mobile networking/computing, including theory, systems and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Algorithmic aspects of MANETs and WSNs
Application Layer Protocols
Architectures of wired/wireless networks
Capacity planning and admission control
Clustering, topology control, coverage, and connectivity
Cognitive networking
Cooperative and cognitive communication
Cooperative sensing in WSNs
Compressive sensing technologies
Crowd-sourcing techniques
Cross layer design and optimization
Cyber-physical systems
Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination
Data transport and management in WSNs
Delay tolerant networks
Experiences from real-world applications and long-term deployments
Handoff/mobility management and seamless internetworking
Internet/Cloud of Things
Key management and trust establishment
Localization and Location Based Services
MAC protocols, including 802.11, 802.15.4, UWB
MAC-layer design for ad hoc networks and WSNs
Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications
Measurements, experimental systems and test-beds
Mobile computing and networking Mobility management
Modeling, analysis and performance evaluation
Multi-channel, multi-radio and MIMO technologies
Network Layer protocols
Networked smart phone applications
Novel applications and architectures for WSNs
Operating systems and middleware support
Opportunistic networking
P2P, overlay, and content distribution
Power-aware architectures, algorithms, and protocols design
QoS and Resource management
Reliability, resiliency and fault tolerance techniques
Resource management and wireless QoS provisioning
Robotic networks
Routing protocols, including unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast
Security and privacy issues in ad hoc and sensor networks, and mobile networking
Smart grid

Smart transportation
Social networks using smart phones and sensors
Time synchronization
Topology control, coverage and connectivity issues
Vehicular networks and protocols
Wireless mesh networking

Paper  Submission and Review:

Authors are invited to submit technical papers presenting original, unpublished research, not currently under review elsewhere. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum length of 9 single-spaced, double-column pages using 10pt size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, with side-margin at least 1 inch, including all figures, tables, and references. All paper submission will be electronic, in PDF format. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by IEEE and will be presented at the conference. Based on reviews and TPC discussions, the TPC may choose to accept some papers as short papers (5 pages). For all papers, IEEE reserves the right to exclude the paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. The conference will also include a poster and demo session.
