Call for Papers: The 15th International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and 
Sensor Networks (MSN 2019)

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong
December 11-13, 2019
https://conference.cs.cityu.edu.hk/msn2019

**** Scope and Objectives ****
Mobile ad-hoc and sensor networking is a key area of enabling 
technologies for the next-generation Internet of Things and 
Cyber-Physical Systems. Recent years have witnessed the increasing 
convergence of algorithms, protocols, and applications for mobile ad-hoc 
and sensor networks in a range of applications including connected 
vehicles, smart cities, and smart health. Building on the past 14 years 
of success, the 15th International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and 
Sensor Networks (MSN 2019) provides a forum for academic researchers and 
industry practitioners to exchange new research ideas, present their 
progress, and identify future directions in the field of mobile ad-hoc 
and sensor networks.

The conference solicits submissions from all areas relating to mobile 
sensing and networking as well as corresponding applications. 
Contributions must relate to at least one of the following topics of 
interest:

- Networking technologies and protocols for mobile ad hoc and sensor 
networks, such as 5G networks, cognitive radio, and low-power networking
- Applications of artificial intelligence in networking and 
communications
- Delay-tolerant and opportunistic networking
- System designs for mobile ad hoc and sensor networks
- Distributed computing technologies for mobile networks, such as edge 
and fog computing and smart networks
- Network security and privacy
- Novel applications and architectures of mobile ad-hoc and sensor 
networks in urban computing, smart city systems, or the Internet of 
Things
- Mobile social networks, crowdsensing and mobile computing
- Intelligent sensor and vehicular networks
- Practical experiences with mobile ad hoc and sensor networks

MSN 2019 is supported by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the City 
University of Hong Kong, and technically co-sponsored by IEEE (pending 
approval). It is on the CCF conference list.

****  Important Dates ****
- Deadline for paper submissions:   August  15, 2019
- Notification of paper acceptance: October 15, 2019
- Deadline for camera-ready papers: October 30, 2019

****  Paper Submission and Publication ****
Submitted manuscripts must be prepared according to IEEE Computer 
Society Proceedings Format (double column, 10pt font, letter paper) and 
submitted in PDF file format. The manuscript should be no longer than 6 
pages. Up to two additional pages are permitted if the authors are 
willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication 
(manuscripts cannot exceed 8 pages in total). Submitted manuscripts must 
not contain previously published material or be under consideration for 
publication in another conference or journal.

All submissions to MSN 2019 must be uploaded to EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=msn2019

Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings and 
published in the IEEE Xplore digital library (indexed by EI). At least 
one author of any accepted paper must register and present the paper at 
the conference. Selected papers of particular merit will be recommended 
for consideration of fast track publication in special issues of 
SCI-indexed journals. The best submission will receive the MSN 2019 best 
paper award.
