<P><FONT size=4><FONT face=Garamond>The Fifth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad–hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 08) is to be held in Atlanta, Georgia between September 29 and October 2, 2008. 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 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.
