Call For Papers and call for workshop
Wireless multi-hop communication
is envisioned in multiple scenarios where network nodes communicate via other
network nodes: conferences, hospitals, battlefields, rescue operations,
environment control, cars-to-cars, and monitoring scenarios. Wireless mesh
networks have been applied as alternatives for providing Internet access in
remote business and residential areas. Wireless sensor networks are being
deployed for several industrial control processes and for monitoring
environment. This conference aims to address multi-hop ad-hoc and sensor
networks systems, covering topics ranging from technology issues up to the
applications aspects. Original manuscripts that focus on the analytical
modeling, protocol/algorithm design, and/or experimental studies of the
following topics of interest are sought:
·
physical layer impact on higher level protocols
·
MAC protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks (802.11, 802.15.4,
UWB) Provisioning of wireless QoS in terms of 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 coverage maintenance
·
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 issues in ad hoc and
sensor networks
·
Operating
system and middleware support
·
Measurements and practical experience from experimental systems
and test-beds
·
Modeling,
analysis and performance evaluation
·
Mesh
networking
·
Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking
·
Handoff and mobility management and seamless internetworking
·
Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution wireless ad hoc
networks
·
Reliability, security, and trustworthiness issues in ad hoc and
sensor networks

CALL FOR WORKSHOPS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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).
