****************************************

The 6th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad Hoc and Sensor Systems
(IEEE MASS 2009), October 5 - 9, 2009, Macau SAR, P.R.C.

http://www.cs.cityu.edu.hk/mass09/

Sponsored by: IEEE; IEEE Computer Society; IEEE Technical Committee on
Distributed Processing; IEEE Technical Committee on Simulation; IEEE
Technical Committee on Computer Communication

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 2009 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.

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Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of (mobile)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

* MAC layer design for ad-hoc networks and WSNs
* MAC protocols (802.11, 802.15.4, UWB)
* Directional / smart antennas
* Multi-channel, multi-radio and MIMO technologies
* Wireless mesh networks and cognitive networks
* P2P, overlay, and content distribution architectures for ad-hoc and sensor
networks
* 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
* Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast)
* Data transport and management in WSNs
* Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in WSNs
* Localization and synchronization in WSNs
* Cooperative sensing in WSNs
* Capacity planning and admission control in ad-hoc and sensor networks
* Handoff / mobility management and seamless internetworking
* Resource management and wireless QoS Provisioning
* Cross layer design and optimization
* Reliability, resiliency and fault tolerance techniques
* Security, privacy, and trust issues
* 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
