Call for Demos

The Sixth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2009) is a major international symposium dedicated to addressing challenges emerging from the design and applications of mobile or wireless ad-hoc networks and networked sensor systems. This symposium will be held in Macau during October 12 - 15, 2009. It will bring together researchers and practitioners from all over the world to present the most up-to-date results and achievements in the field.

IEEE MASS’09 invites proposals for research demonstrations. Demonstrations are highly solicited in all areas of mobile ad-hoc and sensor systems. Submissions from both industries and universities are encouraged. Topics include, but not limited to:

• Architectures, protocols, and algorithms to cope with mobility, limited bandwidth, limited power and/or intermittent connectivity
• Applications and services for mobile ad hoc users
• Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution wireless ad hoc networks
• Location-dependent applications and protocols
• Modeling, measurement and simulation aspects of mobile ad hoc and sensor systems
• Security, privacy, and fault-tolerance
• Implementations and experimental systems
• Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast) and metrics
• Data transport in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
• Topology construction and coverage maintenance
• Cross layer design and optimization
• Incentives and game theoretic approaches in wireless ad-hoc networks
• Localization and synchronization in wireless sensor networks
• Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in wireless sensor networks
• Operating system and middleware support
• Mesh networking
• Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking
• Handoff, mobility management and seamless internetworking
• Reliability, security, and trustworthiness issues in ad hoc and sensor networks

Demo proposals must be no more than 3 pages (IEEE conference template, font size no less than 10pt), and should include the following:

• Research framework, goals of the demo and the basic idea that it supports.;
• Equipment to be used for the demo.;
• Space needed;
• Setup time required;
• Facilities needed including power and Internet/wireless access; and
• Indicate a URL with any extra information, if needed.

Demo proposals must be submitted as a SINGLE PDF FILE via e-mail to the demo chair (lingu@cse.ust.hk). Please indicate "MASS 2009 Demo Proposal" in the subject of the email. For more information, please refer to the demo section of the IEEE MASS 2009 official web site (http://www.cs.cityu.edu.hk/mass09).

Submission Deadline: July 17, 2009 (Fri)
