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
(MASS 2012 is organized and sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society)
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Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of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
Architectures of wired/wireless networks supporting MANETs or WSNs
Capacity planning and admission control in ad hoc and sensor networks
Clustering, topology control, coverage, and connectivity
Cognitive networking
Cooperative sensing in WSNs
Cross layer design and optimization
Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in WSNs
Data transport and management in WSNs
Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking
Handoff/mobility management and seamless internetworking
Key management and trust establishment in wireless networks
Localization and synchronization in WSNs
MAC-layer design for ad hoc networks and WSNs
MAC protocols, including 802.11, 802.15.4, UWB
Measurements and experience from experimental systems and test beds
Mobile computing and networking
Modeling, analysis, and performance evaluation
Multi-channel, multi-radio, and MIMO technologies
Networked smartphone applications
Novel applications and architectures for WSNs
Operating systems and middleware support
P2P, overlay, and content distribution architectures for ad-hoc and
sensor networks
Power-aware architectures, algorithms, and protocols design
Reliability, resiliency, and fault tolerance techniques
Resource management and wireless QoS provisioning
Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and robotic networks
Routing protocols, including unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast
Security and privacy issues in ad hoc and sensor networks
Security, privacy issues in vehicular, DTNs, and mesh networks
Vehicular networks and protocols
Wireless mesh networks
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 x 11
inch pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All paper
submission will be electronic, in PDF format, through EDAS. Detailed
paper formatting and submission instructions will be posted here
shortly.
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.
Important Dates:
Paper registration deadline: April 2, 2012 (optional)
Full paper submission deadline: April 16, 2012
Paper acceptance notification: July 16, 2012
Paper camera-ready deadline: 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 for details, including submission
instructions.
