SCOPE

The 13th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor 
Systems (IEEE MASS 2016) will be held in Brasilia, Brazil, October 
10-13, 2016. Wireless ad hoc communications, 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 2016 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.

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Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of 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:

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

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unpublished research, not currently under review elsewhere.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. Authors must use the 
Manuscript Templates for IEEE Conference Proceedings. 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.
