CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE MASS 2012 The 9th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems

October 8-11, 2012 Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

http://edas.info/web/ieeemass2012/index.html

Paper Submission: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=11677

Scope:

The 9th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2012) will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, in October 2012. Wireless ad hoc communication has applications in a variety of environments, such as conferences, hospitals, battlefields, and disaster-recovery/rescue operations, and is also being actively investigated as an alternative paradigm for Internet connectivity in both urban and rural areas. Wireless sensor and actuator networks are also being deployed for enhancing industrial control processes and supply-chains, and for various forms of environmental monitoring. IEEE MASS 2012, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, aims at addressing advances in research on multihop ad hoc and sensor networks, covering topics ranging from technology issues to applications and test-bed development.

Topics of Interest:

Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) including systems and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Algorithmic aspects of MANETs and WSNs Application Layer Protocols Architectures of wired/wireless networks Capacity planning and admission control Clustering, topology control, coverage, and connectivity Cognitive networking Cooperative and cognitive communication Cooperative sensing in WSNs Cross layer design and optimization Cyber-physical systems Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination Data transport and management in WSNs Delay tolerant networks Experiences from real-world applications and long-term deployments Handoff/mobility management and seamless internetworking Internet/Cloud of Things Key management and trust establishment Key management and trust establishment in wireless networks Localization and synchronization MAC protocols, including 802.11, 802.15.4, UWB MAC-layer design for ad hoc networks and WSNs Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications Measurements, experimental systems and test-beds Mobile computing and networking Mobility management Modeling, analysis and performance evaluation Multi-channel, multi-radio and MIMO technologies Network Layer protocols Networked smartphone applications Novel applications and architectures for WSNs Operating systems and middleware support Opportunistic networking P2P, overlay, and content distribution Power-aware architectures, algorithms, and protocols design QoS and Resource management Reliability, resiliency and fault tolerance techniques Resource management and wireless QoS provisioning Robotic networks Routing protocols, including unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast Security and privacy Security and privacy issues in ad hoc and sensor networks Smart grid Smart healthcare Smart transportation Social networks Topology control, coverage and connectivity issues Vehicular networks and protocols Wireless mesh networking

Paper Submission and Review:

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 ◊ 11 inch pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All paper submission will be electronic, in PDF format, through EDAS.

Submitted papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee, and each paper will receive at least three reviews. 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. Papers determined to be out-of-scope for the conference or lacking substantial original contributions may be subject to Early Reject process.

Important Dates:

Paper registration deadline: Monday, April 2, 2012 (optional) Full paper submission deadline: Monday, April 16, 2012 Paper acceptance notification: Monday, July 16, 2012 Paper camera-ready deadline: Monday, August 6, 2012

Workshops, Posters, and Demos:

Proposals for full-day workshops to be held together with the conference are solicited. The conference will also include a poster and demo session. Refer to the separate Call for Workshop Proposals, Call for Posters, and Call for Demos on the website for details, including submission instructions.

For More Information:

For questions about the paper submission and review process, please contact the MASS 2012 Program Co-Chairs, Stefano Basagni (basagni@ece.neu.edu) and Byrav Ramamurthy (byrav@cse.unl.edu). ________________________________________ Salil Kanhere, PhD, SMIEEE, SMACM Senior Lecturer School of Computer Science and Engineering The University of New South Wales Sydney, NSW 2052 Australia E-mail: salilk@cse.unsw.edu.au Web: htttp://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~salilk Tel: +61 2 9385 6927 Fax: +61 2 9385 5995
