Call for Workshops
IEEE MASS 2007 will be the fourth annual conference on the
rapidly expanding area of multi-hop wireless computing and sensor networking,
and will provide
an exciting platform for discussing research vision of a digitally networked
wireless environment. The MASS Organizing Committee invites proposals
for one-day workshops affiliated with the conference.
The workshops will be held prior to, or after, the main conference.
The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel
ideas and more specific research areas in a less formal and possibly more
focused way than at the conference itself.
Please visit http://www.cse.fau.edu/mass2006/workshops.html
to view information on workshops held last year at MASS 2006.
Workshops Proposals are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining to
ad-hoc wireless and sensor networking research and applications, including,
but not limited to, theoretical performance bounds for ad-hoc networks,
sensor and wireless network and application security/privacy, mesh networks,
middleware platforms and applications of specific techniques (e.g., control
theory or biological networks) to wireless networks.
We expect all selected workshops to adhere to a common paper submission and
reviewing schedule outlined below. All papers included in the MASS 2007
workshops will appear in the MASS 2007 Proceedings published by IEEE.
Workshop Proposal Submission Guidelines
Each workshop proposal must include:
- The name of the workshop.
- The names, addresses, and a short bio (up to 200 words) of the organizers (maximum up to three).
- A brief description (up to 1 page) of the technical issues that the workshop will address, and the reasons why the workshop is of interest this time.
- The names of potential participants, such as program committee members,
- Planned format of the workshop, such as number of refereed papers, keynotes, panels etc.
- If appropriate, a description of past versions of the workshop, including: number of submitted and accepted papers, number of attendees.
