IEEE MASS 2008
Fifth IEEE International Conference on
Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems
Hilton Atlanta
Atlanta, GA, USA
http://www.cse.psu.edu/IEEEMASS08/
Sponsors: IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Technical Committee on
Distributed Processing, IEEE Technical Committee on Simulation, and
IEEE Technical Committee on Computer Communications
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. The
IEEE MASS 2008 conference is the fifth edition of MASS and aims at
addressing advances in research on multi-hop ad-hoc and sensor
networks, covering topics ranging from technology issues to
applications and test-bed development.
IEEE MASS 2008 solicits original, unpublished contributions in all
aspects of (mobile) ad-hoc networks and wireless sensor networks
(WSN), systems and applications. Submitted articles must not be
concurrently considered elsewhere for publication. Extended versions
of selected papers will be considered for fast track publication in
the Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal
(www.elsevier.come/locate/pmc).
Scope: Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Physical layer impact on higher layers in ad-hoc networks and WSNs
- Directional / smart antennas
- Multi-channel, multi-radio and MIMO technologies
- MAC protocols (802.11, 802.15.4, UWB)
- Wireless mesh networks and cognitive networks
- P2P/overlay/content distribution architectures for wireless ad hoc networks
- Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking
- Vehicular networks and protocols
- Mobile/robotic sensor networks
- Power-aware architectures, algorithms and protocols design
- Clustering, topology control, coverage and connectivity issues
- Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast)
- Data transport, management and information scheduling
- Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in WSNs
- Localization, synchronization and cooperative sensing in WSNs
- Sensor networks and pervasive infrastructures
- Capacity planning and admission control in ad-hoc networks
- Handoff / mobility management and seamless internetworking
- Resource management and wireless QoS Provisioning
- Cross layer design and optimization
- Incentive-based and game-theoretic approaches in ad-hoc networks
- Reliability, resiliency and fault tolerance techniques
- Security, privacy, and trust issues
- Management and monitoring of ad-hoc and sensor networks
- Operating systems and middleware support
- Novel applications and architectures for WSNs
- Modeling, analysis and performance evaluation
- Measurements and experience from experimental systems and test-beds
Submission Guidelines:
All submissions must be full papers in PDF format and uploaded on
EDAS. They must not exceed 10 single-spaced, double-column pages using
at least 11 pt size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages in IEEE style format.
Detailed formatting and submission instructions will be available on
the conference website.
