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.
