Scope and Aim of ACM MiSeNet 2012
Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile
sensors?(e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and
coordinate to?successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the
design of mission-oriented?sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant
architecture, caused by mobility, which has?significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network
connectivity, and information quality. In such?dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a
distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling,?forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish
specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime.?Another major challenge lies in accommodating
human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be
very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability,
bias, and relative lack of predictability (compared to well-calibrated sensors). The design of mission-oriented sensor
networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy
consumption (due to mobility, sensing, and communication), reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality
of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization),
and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text,
pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise.
ACM MiSeNet 2012 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in
mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2012 serves as incubator for scientific
communities? that share a particular research agenda in this area. ACM MiSeNet 2012 will provide them with
opportunities to understand? the major? technical? and application challenges as well as exchange and discuss
scientific and engineering ideas related to? architecture,? protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a
stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal? publications.?
ACM MiSeNet 2012 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress,
which will?lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient,
reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications.
The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2012 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing
- Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks
- System design, implementation, and evaluation
- Medium access control and scheduling
- Human factors, data cleaning, and noise
- Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information
- Cross-layer design
- Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing
- Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency
- Coverage and connectivity issues
- Collaboration of humans and sensors
- Deployment and localization
- Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion
- Topology control and fault-tolerance
- Routing and data dissemination
- In-network data storage and processing
- Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data
- Target detection and tracking
- Privacy and security
- Testbed design and real-world applications

Submission Guidelines
ACM MiSeNet 2012 Workshop will consider only original papers that are not currently under review
by other workshops, conferences, or journals, and have not been published. All papers submitted to
ACM MiSeNet 2012 will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on their suitability ( i.e. , within
the workshop scope), novelty, and merit. Submitted papers are limited to 6 pages.
ACM MiSeNet 2012 will also consider technical demos and posters that present original and significant
research within the workshop scope. Submitted demos/posters are limited to 2 pages. In the case of a
demo, the authors should clearly specify, in an email to both of the General Chair and Program Chair,
the additional resources that are needed. Power and wireless Internet connectivity will be available at the workshop.
All submissions should be formatted in standard ACM conference style for publication in the conference
Proceedings. They must be single-spaced, double-column, with each column 9.25" by 3.33", 0.33" space
between columns, use at least a 10pt font, and be correctly formatted to be printed on Letter-sized
(8.5" by 11") paper. It is required that at least one author of each accepted paper/demo/poster register and
attend the ACM MiSeNet 2012 workshop to present their work to ensure its publication in the
ACM MobiCom 2012 conference Proceedings.
We strongly encourage people from both of the industry and academia to submit their fine work to ACM MiSeNet 2012.
