Good morning everyone, Please find below a call for workshops proposals which would be held in conjunction with MASS 2007 in October in Pisa, Italy. Workshops proposals submission deadline is February 9, 2007. The deadline for submitting paper to MASS 2007 (http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mass2007/) is March 31, 2007. This message is cross-posted to several lists. Apologies for any duplicate postings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - CALL FOR WORKSHOPS PROPOSALS Fourth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Systems MASS 2007 (http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mass2007/) Pisa, Italy, October 8-11, 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- **** Workshop Proposals Deadline --- February 9, 2007 **** Sponsored by IEEE and IEEE Computer Society Co-sponsored by the IEEE TCCC and the IEEE TCPP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- IEEE MASS 2007 will be the fourth annual conference on the rapidly expanding area of multi-hop wireless computing and sensor networking, and will provide an exciting platform for discussing research vision of a digitally networked wireless environment. The MASS Organizing Committee invites proposals for one-day workshops affiliated with the conference. The workshops will be held prior to, or after, the main conference. The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas and more specific research areas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than at the conference itself. Please visit http://www.cse.fau.edu/mass2006/workshops.html to view information on workshops held last year at MASS 2006. Workshops Proposals are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining to ad-hoc wireless and sensor networking research and applications, including, but not limited to, theoretical performance bounds for ad-hoc networks, sensor and wireless network and application security/privacy, mesh networks, middleware platforms and applications of specific techniques (e.g., control theory or biological networks) to wireless networks. We expect all selected workshops to adhere to a common paper submission and reviewing schedule outlined below. All papers included in the MASS 2007 workshops will appear in the MASS 2007 Proceedings published by IEEE. ------------------------------- Proposal Submission Guidelines: ------------------------------- Each workshop proposal must include: 1. The name of the workshop. 2. The names, addresses, and a short bio (up to 200 words) of the organizers (maximum up to three). 3. A brief description (up to 1 page) of the technical issues that the workshop will address, and the reasons why the workshop is of interest this time. 4. The names of potential participants, such as program committee members, 5. Planned format of the workshop, such as number of refereed papers, keynotes, panels etc. 6.
