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.
