The 12th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems
(IEEE MASS 2015)
Dallas, Texas, USA, October 19 – 22, 2015.

http://mass2015.eecs.utk.edu

Wireless ad hoc communication, Internet of Things, and mobile computing
have applications in a variety of environments, such as smart homes,
hospitals, battlefields, and disaster-recovery operations. 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 2015 is a three-track conference sponsored by the
IEEE Computer Society. It aims at addressing research advances in mobile
ad-hoc and sensor systems related to (i) algorithms and theory, (ii)
systems, protocols, and applications, and (iii) experimental evaluation and
testbeds, covering topics ranging from
theoretical foundations to
applications and testbed development.

*Paper Submission and Review*

The submission deadline is: April 10, 2015!

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unpublished research, not currently under review elsewhere.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 a
side margin of at least 1 inch, including all figures, tables, and
references, in the PDF format. Accepted papers will appear in theconference
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.
