                         CALL FOR PAPERS

Fourth IEEE International Conference on
Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS 2007)
Pisa, October 8-11, 2007
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mass2007

Sponsored by IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Technical Committee on
Distributed Processing, and IEEE Technical Committee on Simulation

in-cooperation with ACM SIGMOBILE

**** Submission Deadline --- March 31, 2007 ****
               
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Wireless multi-hop communication is envisioned in multiple scenarios where
network nodes communicate via other network nodes: conferences, hospitals,
battlefields, rescue operations, environment control, cars-to-cars, and
monitoring scenarios. Wireless mesh networks have been applied as
alternatives for providing Internet access in remote business and
residential areas. Wireless sensor networks are being deployed for several
industrial control processes and for monitoring environment. This
conference aims to address multi-hop ad-hoc and sensor networks systems,
covering topics ranging from technology issues up to the applications
aspects.

Original contributions are solicited in all areas of (mobile) ad hoc
networking and sensor systems and applications. Topics include, but not
limited to:

- physical layer impact on higher level protocols
- MAC protocols for ad-hoc and sensor networks (802.11, 802.15.4, UWB)
- Provisioning of wireless QoS in terms of bandwidth and delay assurance
- Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast) and routing
metrics
- Data transport in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
- Power-aware and energy-efficient design
- Topology construction and coverage maintenance
- Cross layer design and optimization
- Incentives and game theoretic approaches in wireless ad-hoc networks
- Localization and synchronization in wireless sensor networks
- Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in wireless sensor
- Reliability, security, and trustworthiness issues in ad hoc and sensor
networks
- Operating system and middleware support
- Measurements and practical experience from experimental systems and
test-beds
- Modeling, analysis and performance evaluation
- Mesh networking
- Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking
- Handoff and mobility management and seamless internetworking
- Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution wireless ad hoc
networks
