MASS 2013 - 10th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2013)

10th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor
Systems (IEEE MASS 2013), HangZhou, China, October 14-16, 2013.

Scope:
The 10th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor
Systems (IEEE MASS 2013) will be held in HangZhou, Zhejiang
Province, China, during October 14-16, 2013. Wireless ad hoc
communication and mobile networking/computing have applications in a
variety of environments, such as conferences, hospitals,
battlefields, and disaster-recovery/rescue operations, and are also
being actively investigated as an alternative paradigm for Internet
connectivity in both urban and rural areas. Wireless sensor and
actuator networks are being deployed for enhancing industrial
control processes and supply-chains, and for various forms of
environmental monitoring. IEEE MASS 2013, sponsored by the IEEE
Computer Society, aims at addressing advances in research on multi-
hop wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, covering topics ranging
from technology issues to applications and test-bed development.

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unpublished research, not currently under review elsewhere.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 x 11
inch pages, with side-margin at least 1 inch, including all figures,
tables, and references. All paper submission will be electronic, in
PDF format, through EDAS. 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.
Posters and Demos:
The conference will also include a poster and demo session. Refer to
the separate Call for Posters and Call for Demos for details,
including submission instructions.
