  (MASS 2012 is organized and sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society)

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Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of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
Internet/Cloud of Things
Key management and trust establishment
Key management and trust establishment in wireless networks
Localization and synchronization
MAC protocols, including 802.11, 802.15.4, UWB
MAC-layer design for ad hoc networks and WSNs
Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications
Measurements, experimental systems and test-beds
Mobile computing and networking Mobility management
Modeling, analysis and performance evaluation
Multi-channel, multi-radio and MIMO technologies
Network Layer protocols
Networked smartphone applications
Novel applications and architectures for WSNs
Operating systems and middleware support
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

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:

    Paper registration deadline:  Monday, April 2, 2012 (optional)
    Full paper submission deadline:  Monday, April 16, 2012
    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.
