Call for Papers
Scope and Aim of MiSeNet 2014 Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such as energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements.
MiSeNet 2014 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. MiSeNet 2014 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications.
MiSeNet 2014 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications.
The topics of interest to MiSeNet 2014 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications

Submission Guidelines MiSeNet 2014 Workshop will consider only original papers that are not currently under review by other workshops, conferences, or journals, and have not been published. All papers submitted to MiSeNet 2014 will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on their suitability (i.e., within the workshop scope), novelty, and merit. Submitted papers are limited to 6 pages.
All submissions should be formatted in standard IEEE conference style for publication in the conference Proceedings. They must be single-spaced, double-column, with each column 9.25" by 3.33", 0.33" space between columns, use at least a 10pt font, and be correctly formatted to be printed on Letter-sized (8.5" by 11") paper. It is required that at least one author of each accepted paper register and attend the MiSeNet 2014 workshop to present their work to ensure its publication in the IEEE MASS 2014 workshop Proceedings.
We strongly encourage people from both of the industry and academia to submit their fine work to MiSeNet 2014.
