 Scope: 

	The 9th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor
 Systems (IEEE MASS 2012) will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, in
 October 2012. Wireless ad hoc communication has applications in a
 variety of environments, such as conferences, hospitals,
battlefields,
 and disaster-recovery/rescue operations, and is also being actively
 investigated as an alternative paradigm for Internet connectivity in
 both urban and rural areas. Wireless sensor and actuator networks are
 also being deployed for enhancing industrial control processes and
 supply-chains, and for various forms of environmental monitoring.
IEEE
 MASS 2012, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, aims at addressing
 advances in research on multihop ad hoc and sensor networks, covering
 topics ranging from technology issues to applications and test-bed
 development. 

	Topics of Interest: 

	Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of
 mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs)
 including systems and applications. Topics of interest include, but
 are not limited to: 

	Algorithmic aspects of MANETs and WSNs
 Application Layer Protocols
 Architectures of wired/wireless networks
 Capacity planning and admission control
 Clustering, topology control, coverage, and connectivity
 Cognitive networking
 Cooperative and cognitive communication
 Cooperative sensing in WSNs
 Cross layer design and optimization
 Cyber-physical systems
 Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination
 Data transport and management in WSNs
 Delay tolerant networks
 Experiences from real-world applications and long-term deployments
 Handoff/mobility management and seamless internetworking

 Opportunistic networking
 P2P, overlay, and content distribution
 Power-aware architectures, algorithms, and protocols design
 QoS and Resource management
 Reliability, resiliency and fault tolerance techniques
 Resource management and wireless QoS provisioning
 Robotic networks
 Routing protocols, including unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast
 Security and privacy
 Security and privacy issues in ad hoc and sensor networks
 Smart grid
 Smart healthcare
 Smart transportation
 Social networks

 Wireless mesh networking 

	Paper Submission and Review: 

	Authors are invited to submit technical papers presenting original,
 unpublished research, not currently under review elsewhere. All
 submissions should be written in English with a maximum length of 9
 single-spaced, double-column pages using 10pt size fonts on 8.5 ? 11
 inch pages, including all figures, tables, and references. All paper
 submission will be electronic, in PDF format, through EDAS.   

	Submitted papers will be reviewed by the Technical Program Committee,
 and each paper will receive at least three reviews. Accepted papers
 will appear in the conference proceedings published by IEEE and will
 be presented at the conference. Based on reviews and TPC discussions,
 the TPC may choose to accept some papers as short papers (5
 pages). For all papers, IEEE reserves the right to exclude the paper
 from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE
 Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. Papers
 determined to be out-of-scope for the conference or lacking
 substantial original contributions may be subject to Early Reject
 process. 

	Important Dates: 

	    Full paper submission deadline:  Monday, April 23, 2012 (firm)
     Paper acceptance notification: Monday, July 16, 2012
     Paper camera-ready deadline: Monday, August 6, 2012  

	Workshops, Posters, and Demos: 

	Proposals for full-day workshops to be held together with the
 conference are solicited. The conference will also include a poster
 and demo session. Refer to the separate Call for Workshop Proposals,
 Call for Posters, and Call for Demos on the website for details,
 including submission instructions. 

	For More Information: 

	For questions about the paper submission and review process, please
 contact the MASS 2012 Program Co-Chairs, Stefano Basagni
 (basagni at ece.neu.edu [3]) and Byrav Ramamurthy (byrav at cse.unl.edu
[4]).
