Call for Papers
The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems
(MASS-2006)
October 9 - 12, 2006
Vancouver, Canada
http://www.ieee-mass.org
Sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society, IEEE TC on Distributed Processing and TC on Simulation
OVERVIEW
Earlier research in wireless networks and mobile computing has concentrated on single-hop
networks, where network nodes communicate directly with a fixed infrastructure, such as
cellular or satellite systems. More recently, interest in multi-hop networks, such as mobile
ad hoc networks and sensor networks, has stimulated a significant amount of scientific research.
In particular, wireless mesh networking (a new community network architecture) has been proposed
as an alternative for providing Internet access to business and residential customers. This
conference focuses on multi-hop ad hoc and sensor networks systems, covering topics ranging
from physical issues to applications.
TOPICS
Manuscripts that focus on analytical modeling, protocol/algorithm design, and/or experimental
studies of the following topics of interest are sought:
- Channel behavior modeling and its impact on design of higher-layer protocols
- Directional and smart antennas for ad hoc networks
- MAC protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks (802.11, 802.15.4, UWB)
- Provisioning of wireless QoS; e.g., bandwidth and delay assurance
- Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast) and routing metrics
- Data transport in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
- Power-aware and energy-efficient design
- Topology construction and maintenance of coverage
- Cross-layer design and optimization
- Incentives and game theoretic approaches in wireless ad hoc networks
- Localization and synchronization in wireless sensor networks
- Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in wireless sensor
- Reliability, security, and trustworthiness in ad hoc and sensor networks
- Operating system and middleware support
- Applications of multi-hop technology
SUBMISSION

Goal and Overview
==================
The Performance Control in WirelessSensor Networks Workshop will be a
half-day, peer-reviewed workshop on Friday, May 19, 2006. The aim of
the workshop is to bring together professionals from academia and
industry to discuss performance issues in wireless sensor networks.
The focus of the workshop will be on work in progress.
Call for Papers
===============
Wireless sensor networks are currently the subject of intense research
and many prototype installations are currently investigated. These
existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not
considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as
a response to the received data. However, many future application
areas of wireless sensor networks such as plant automation and
control, traffic management or medical applications require this
feature. In such environments, data has to be transported reliable and
in time through the sensor network. In other words, performance
guarantees regarding a variety of network parameters are required. Due
to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols it is
currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor
network with a controlled performance. Thus, the commercial success of
wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless
this particular problem is understood and solved.
Topics of Interest Include:
===========================
This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners,
working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. Areas
of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models to
balance performance parameters in the network.
* MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC
protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption.
* Routing and topology control: Methods to stabilize network
topology, topology robustness.
* Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability,
methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks.
* Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of
sensor network operating systems.
* Middleware and frameworks: Middleware/frameworks providing
performance guarantees for sensor network applications.
* Security: The impact of security features on network performance.
Paper Submissions:
==================
The paper can report on work in progress. The size of the paper should
not exceed 8 pages (Please adhere to the formatting standard for a
manuscript of the Springer-Verlag LNCS). The cover page must contain
an abstract of about 150 words 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of
author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal
address. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and
present the paper at the Workshop.
Paper submission procedures will be announced on:

CALL FOR PAPERS
Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due
to their potential for providing diverse new capabilities. Such systems
allow intelligent dense monitoring of physical environments, which makes
them immensely useful for data collection and analysis. While much
ongoing research has addressed networking, communication and low-level
self-configuration issues in such systems, there are also significant
challenges pertaining to systematic design, algorithm development and
analysis, and abstract modeling in order to achieve efficient and robust
realizations of large-scale distributed sensor systems. The large number
of sensor devices involved, severe power, computational and memory
limitations, resource heterogeneity, dense deployment and frequent
failures pose novel challenges to design, algorithms, analysis and
implementation.
The focus of the conference is on distributed computing issues in
large-scale networked sensor systems (including algorithms, applications,
and systematic design techniques and tools), but networking-related
contributions that support high level abstractions are also welcome.
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that
demonstrate current research on computational aspects of distributed
sensor systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Computation and programming models
- Energy models, minimization, awareness
- Distributed algorithms for collaborative information processing
- Theoretical performance analysis: complexity, correctness,
scalability, fault-tolerance
- Abstractions for modular design
- Languages, operating systems
- Task allocation, reprogramming and reconfiguration
- Dynamic resource management
- Scalable, heterogeneous architectures (node and system-level)
- Middleware interfaces, communication and processing primitives
- Design, simulation and optimization tools for deployment
and operation
- Design automation and application synthesis techniques
- Case studies: lessons from real world deployments
PAPER SUBMISSION
Submitted manuscripts may not exceed 12 single-spaced pages using
12-point size font on 8.5x11 inch pages, including figures and tables.
References may be included in addition to the 12 pages. Submissions
will be judged on correctness, originality, technical strength,
significance, quality of presentation, and interest and relevance to
the conference attendees. Submitted papers may not have appeared
in or be under consideration for another conference or a journal.
Submission procedures will be available via Web access at http://www.dcoss.org/
All manuscripts will be reviewed. Manuscripts must be received by
February 15, 2006, by 5 p.m. U.S. Pacific Coast Time. This is a final
deadline; to ensure fairness, no extensions will be given. Notification
of review decisions will be mailed by April 1, 2006. Camera-ready papers
will be due April 16, 2006.
DCOSS '06 Proceedings will be distributed at the Conference.

POSTER/PRESENTATION SESSION
The conference will include a poster session for researchers
and practitioners to present novel on-going work-in-progress
and to obtain feedback from conference attendees in an informal
setting. Authors of accepted posters will have an opportunity
to briefly present their work in this session. A 2-page extended
abstract will also appear in the conference proceedings. Select
invited presentations and posters from industry and academia will
also be included in this session.
Poster abstracts must be received by March 15, 2006. Submission details
will be available at the DCOSS website.

BEST PAPER AWARDS
Awards will be given for one best paper in each of the three conference
technical tracks: algorithms, applications, and systems.
