Call for Papers

Sensor networks have become a highly active research area because of their potential of providing diverse services to broad range of applications, not only on science and engineering, but equally importantly on issues related to critical infrastructure protection and security, health care, the environment, energy, food safety, and the potential impact on the quality of all areas of life.

 

MASSN is intended to provide an international forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners to share and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges, present original ideas, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research results on modeling, analysis, design, and simulation of sensor networks.

 

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

·         Modeling techniques of sensor networks

·         Analysis of real-world systems and fundamental limits

·         Platform modeling and analysis tools

·         Design and analysis of algorithms and protocols for sensor networks

·         Performance evaluation and analysis of sensor networks

·         Theoretical performance analysis: complexity, correctness and scalability

·         Performance comparison on capacity, coverage and connectivity

·         Simulation models for optimization of scarce resources

·         Simulation software tools and environments

 

Paper Submission and Publication

Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of all aspects of modeling, analysis and simulation of sensor networks. Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere or currently be under review by another conference or journal. All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance to the workshop. Papers not exceeding 15 pages with free layout style should be submitted in PDF format via email to sguo@u-aizu.ac.jp.

 

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. A selection of the best papers will be published in a special issue of Journal of Network and Computer Applications (Elsevier).
