      * SCOPE: Building on the success of previous years, IEEE  SECON  2012
      provides a unique forum to exchange innovative research ideas, recent
      results, and share experiences among researchers and practitioners in
      the field of sensor, mesh, and ad hoc networks and systems.  IEEE
      SECON grew out of the IEEE INFOCOM conference in 2004, in order to
      create an event that focused on the important and exciting topics of
      Sensor, Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications Networks. In addition to the
      traditional topics published in SECON, this year the conference
      especially brings papers in emerging applications and services,
      involving sensor, mesh and ad-hoc communications, such as green
      technologies, smart grids, urban sensing systems, the Internet of
      Things, social networking, etc.

      * KEYNOTE TALKS:  1) Dr. Kang G. Shin (Professor at the University of
      Michigan. Talk titled "Digital Space Expansion through Smartphone"
      and 2)Dr. Yoonchae Cheong (Senior Vice President at the Samsung
      Advanced Institute of Technology, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.). Talk
      titled
	Is Dynamic Spectrum Access a Blessing or Curse? Speaker bio and talk
abstracts can be found at http://www.ieee-secon.org/keynote.html

      * TECHNICAL  PROGRAM:  67  papers  have  been  accepted  for
      presentation   and  for   publication   in  the   conference
      proceedings. The complete list of accepted papers can be found
      on-line at the conference web page:
      http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~erozner/secon2012/program.html

      * PANEL:  The panel, moderated by Prof. Sunghyun Choi (Seoul National
      University, Korea),? will provide discussion on ?M2M/D2D toward
      Beyond 4G Wireless? will be held on June 20th, 2012.

      * Workshops: IEEE SECON 2012 features two workshops to be held on
      June 18, 2012:
      1. The IEEE Workshop on Enabling Technologies for Smartphone and
      Internet of Things (ETSIoT) 2012 aims to provide a forum for academic
      researchers and industrial experts possessing the vision of IoT with
      smartphones.

      2. The IEEE Workshop on Vehicular Communications, Sensing, and
      Computing (VCSC) 2012 aims to cover all related topics of
      intra/inter-vehicular communications, sensing on the road, and
      computing to support safer and more efficient driving.

      * POSTERS/DEMOS: IEEE SECON 2012 includes poster and demostration
      sessions providing a forum to present and discuss works in progress,
      industry demonstrations of new applications and techniques, practical
      implementations, industrial and commercial developments, research
      testbeds and demonstrations, recent research/implementation results,
      upcoming research challenges, future directions, and novel approaches
      in the fields of sensor, mesh and ad hoc communications and networks.
      This year IEEE SECON is also running a best poster and best demo
      award competition. Awards will be based on the novelty and the
      potentials of the poster/demo to drive further research.

      * STUDENT  TRAVEL  GRANTS: The  IEEE  SECON 2012  organizing
      committee is pleased to provide a limited number of Student Travel
      Grants  to graduate students to participate in our conference,
