In addition to the traditional topics published in SECON, this year the conference especially brings papers in emerging applications and services, involving sensor, mesh and ad-hoc communications, such as green technologies, smart grids, urban sensing systems, the Internet of Things, social networking, etc. * KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:Dr. Kang G. Shin (Professor at the University of Michigan) and Dr. Yoonchae Cheong (Senior Vice President at the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.). * TECHNICAL PROGRAM:67papershavebeenacceptedfor presentationandforpublicationintheconference proceedings. The complete list of accepted papers can be found on-line at the conference web page: http://www.ieee-secon.org/program.html * PANEL:The panel will provide discussion on “M2M/D2D toward Beyond 4G Wireless”. * Workshops: IEEE SECON 2012 features two workshops to be held on June 18, 2012: 1. The IEEE Workshop on Enabling Technologies for Smartphone and Internet of Things (ETSIoT) 2012 aims to provide a forum for academic researchers and industrial experts possessing the vision of IoT with smartphones. 2. The IEEE Workshop on Vehicular Communications, Sensing, and Computing (VCSC) 2012 aims to cover all related topics of intra/inter-vehicular communications, sensing on the road, and computing to support safer and more efficient driving. * POSTERS/DEMOS: IEEE SECON 2012 includes poster and demostration sessions providing a forum to present and discuss works in progress, industry demonstrations of new applications and techniques, practical implementations, industrial and commercial developments, research testbeds and demonstrations, recent research/implementation results, upcoming research challenges, future directions, and novel approaches in the fields of sensor, mesh and ad hoc communications and networks. This year IEEE SECON is also running a best poster and best demo award competition. Awards will be based on the novelty and the potentials of the poster/demo to drive further research. * STUDENTTRAVELGRANTS: TheIEEESECON 2012organizing committee is pleased to provide a limited number of Student Travel Grantsto graduate students to participate in our conference, workshops, poster, and demo sessions. See more information at http://www.ieee-secon.org/sttravel.html. * SPONSORS: IEEE SECON 2012 organizing committee is pleased to announce it has 3 Gold patrons (ETRI, HP Laboratories, and Samsung Electronics) and 3 Silver patrons (IBM Research, INRIA, and KEPCO).
