Abstract

The 13th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2016) will be held in Brasilia, Brazil, October 10 – 13, 2016&#046; Wireless ad hoc communication, Internet of Things, and mobile computing have applications in a variety of environments, such as smart homes, hospitals, battlefields, and disaster&#8211;recovery operations&#046; Wireless sensor and actuator networks are being deployed for enhancing industrial control processes and supply&#8211;chains, and for various forms of environmental monitoring&#046; IEEE MASS 2016 is a three&#8211;track conference sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society&#046; It aims at addressing research advances in mobile ad&#8211;hoc and sensor systems related to (i) algorithms and theory, (ii) systems, protocols, and applications, and (iii) experimental evaluation and testbeds, covering topics ranging from theoretical foundations to applications and testbed development&#046;<br>Topics of Interest<br>Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), wireless sensor networks (WSNs) (including cyber&#8211;physical systems, Internet of Things), and mobile networking/computing, including theory, systems and applications&#046;<br>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>Algorithmic aspects of MANETs and WSNs<br>Application Layer Protocols<br>Architectures of wired/wireless networks<br>Capacity planning and admission control<br>Clustering, topology control, coverage, and connectivity<br>Cognitive networking<br>Cooperative and cognitive communication<br>Cooperative sensing in WSNs<br>Compressive sensing technologies<br>Crowd&#8211;sourcing, participatory and social sensing<br>Cross layer design and optimization<br>Cyber&#8211;physical systems<br>Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination<br>Data transport and management in WSNs<br>Delay tolerant networks<br>Experiences, real&#8211;world applications and deployments<br>Handoff/mobility management and seamless<br>Internetworking<br>Internet/Cloud of Things<br>Key management and trust establishment<br>Localization and Location Based Services<br>MAC protocols, including 802&#046;11, 802&#046;15&#046;4, UWB<br>MAC&#8211;layer design for ad hoc networks and WSNs<br>Machine&#8211;to&#8211;machine (M2M) communications<br>Measurements, experimental systems and test&#8211;beds<br>Mobile computing and networking Mobility management<br>Modeling, analysis and performance evaluation<br>Multi&#8211;channel, multi&#8211;radio and MIMO technologies<br>Network Layer protocols<br>Networked smartphone applications<br>Novel applications and architectures for WSNs<br>Operating systems and middleware support<br>Opportunistic networking<br>P2P, overlay, and content distribution<br>Power&#8211;aware architectures, algorithms, and protocols<br>QoS and Resource management<br>Reliability, resiliency and fault tolerance techniques<br>Resource management and wireless QoS provisioning<br>Robotic networks<br>Routing protocols, including unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast<br>Security and privacy issues in ad hoc and sensor networks, and mobile networking<br>Smart grid<br>Smart healthcare<br>Smart transportation<br>Social networks using smartphones and sensors<br>Time synchronization<br>Topology control, coverage and connectivity issues<br>Vehicular networks and protocols<br>Wireless mesh networking<br>
