CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
======================
Program Highlights
As one of the original IEEE conferences on sensor and wireless networks, the
Third IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems
(MASS 2006) features a strong technical program, which spans topics such as
analytical modeling, protocol/algorithm design, and experimental studies of
wireless and sensor networks. The technical program is composed of 12
single-track sessions, totalling 48 papers (selected from close to 200
submissions). Along with these high-quality technical papers, MASS'06
program also includes a number of invited talks, which will highlight the
state-of-the-art research in, and speculate on the future of, wireless and
sensor network applications. Prof. P.R. Kumar of University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign and Dr. Krishan Sabnani of Bell Laboratories, Lucent
Technologies, will deliver keynote speeches, while Prof. Vijay Bhargava of
University of British Columbia, Vancouver, will present a dinner speech.
To foster technical discussions
in an informal setting, the program includes poster sessions and provides
researchers with ample of opportunities to discuss their evolving ideas and
gather feedback from the networking community. Finally, the program includes
a number of selected industrial exhibition and demonstrations.
