IEEE MASS 2007 (http://www.ieee-mass.org)
The Fourth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems
Call For Papers
Wireless multi-hop communication is envisioned in multiple scenarios where network nodes communicate via other network nodes: conferences, hospitals, battlefields, rescue operations, environment control, cars-to-cars, and monitoring scenarios. Wireless mesh networks have been applied as alternatives for providing Internet access in remote business and residential areas. Wireless sensor networks are being deployed for several industrial control processes and for monitoring environment. This conference aims to address multi-hop ad-hoc and sensor networks systems, covering topics ranging from technology issues up to the applications aspects. Original manuscripts that focus on the analytical modeling, protocol/algorithm design, and/or experimental studies of the following topics of interest are sought:
· physical layer impact on higher level protocols
· MAC protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks (802.11, 802.15.4, UWB) Provisioning of wireless QoS in terms of bandwidth and delay assurance
· Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast) and routing metrics
· Data transport in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
· Power-aware and energy-efficient design
· Topology construction and coverage maintenance
· Cross layer design and optimization
· Incentives and game theoretic approaches in wireless ad-hoc networks
· Localization and synchronization in wireless sensor networks
· Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in wireless sensor
· Reliability, security, and trustworthiness issues in ad hoc and sensor networks
· Operating system and middleware support
· Measurements and practical experience from experimental systems and test-beds
· Modeling, analysis and performance evaluation
· Mesh networking
· Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking
· Handoff and mobility management and seamless internetworking
· Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution wireless ad hoc networks
· Reliability, security, and trustworthiness issues in ad hoc and sensor networks
