                         PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS

                               IEEE MASS 2008
                    Fifth IEEE International Conference on
                       Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems

                        September 29 ? October 2, 2008
                                Atlanta, USA

                    http://www.cse.psu.edu/IEEEMASS08/

Sponsors: IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Technical Committee on
Distributed
Processing, IEEE Technical Committee on Simulation, and IEEE Technical
Committee on Computer Communications

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.
The IEEE MASS 2008 conference is the fifth edition of MASS and aims at
addressing advances in research on multi-hop ad-hoc and sensor networks,
covering topics ranging from technology issues to applications and test-bed
development.

Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of
(mobile)
ad-hoc networks and wireless sensor networks (WSN), systems and
applications.
Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for fast track
publication in the Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal
(www.elsevier.come/locate/pmc). Topics include, but are not limited to:

- Physical layer impact on higher layers in ad-hoc networks and WSNs
- Directional / smart antennas
- Multi-channel, multi-radio and MIMO technologies
- MAC protocols (802.11, 802.15.4, UWB)
- Wireless mesh networks and cognitive networks
- P2P, overlay, content distribution architectures for wireless ad hoc nets
- Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking
- Vehicular networks and protocols
- Mobile/robotic sensor networks
- Power-aware architectures, algorithms and protocols design
- Clustering, topology control, coverage and connectivity issues
- Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast)
- Data transport, management and information scheduling
- Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in WSNs
- Localization and synchronization in WSNs
- Cooperative sensing in WSNs
- Sensor networks and pervasive infrastructures
- Capacity planning and admission control in ad-hoc networks
- Handoff / mobility management and seamless internetworking
- Resource management and wireless QoS Provisioning
- Cross layer design and optimization
- Incentive-based and game-theoretic approaches in ad-hoc networks
- Reliability, resiliency and fault tolerance techniques
- Security, privacy, and trust issues
- Management and monitoring of ad-hoc and sensor networks
- Operating systems and middleware support
- Novel applications and architectures for WSNs
- Modeling, analysis and performance evaluation
- Measurements and experience from experimental systems and test-beds

Submission Guidelines:

All submissions must be full papers in PDF format and uploaded on EDAS.
They must not exceed 10 single-spaced, double-column pages using at least
11 pt size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages in IEEE style format.

or supplement the main theme of IEEE MASS 2008. Please contact the
Workshop Co-chairs with proposals or for any questions.

Demo Proposals:
Proposals are solicited for technical demonstrations of experimental
ad-hoc and sensor networking systems. Visit the conference website for
