IEEE MASS is a premier, annual forum for sharing original, novel ideas
 in mobile ad hoc networks and wireless sensor networks, defined
 broadly. Continuing this tradition, the 15th IEEE International
 Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) will be held in
 Chengdu, China, on Oct. 9-12, 2018. Wireless ad hoc communications,
 Internet of Things, and mobile computing are increasingly being used
 in civilian and military applications in homes and businesses, cities
 and rural areas, sea and space. Wireless sensor and actuator networks
 are being widely deployed for enhancing industrial processes and
 management, for various forms of environmental monitoring and
 control, and for improving quality of life. Sponsored by the IEEE
 Computer Society, IEEE MASS 2018 aims at bringing together
 researchers, developers, and practitioners to address recent advances
 in mobile ad-hoc and sensor-actuator systems, covering algorithms,
 theories, systems, protocols, applications, experiments , and
 testbeds.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers
that are 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 fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch paper, including
all figures, tables, and references, in 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 TPC reviews and
discussions, some papers may be accepted as 5-page short papers, in
addition to the regular 9 page papers. 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. Note that the conference will also include a poster and
demo session. Paper Submission Link: https://edas.info/N24517
