[We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message] ============================================================ Call for Papers ============================================================ The 2nd International Workshop on Mobile, Multimedia, Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks (MMASN 2013) http://mmasn2013.iswsnlab.cn/
Submission Instructions Prospective authors should papers to: [email protected] and [email protected] The length of the papers should not exceed 6 pages + 4 pages for overlength charges. Papers should be written in English conforming to the IEEE Conference Proceedings Format (8.5" x 11", Two-Column). Distinguished papers, after further revisions, will be published in 10 SCI & EI indexed special issues, which will be shared by the IEEE/IFIP EUC 2013 conference and its symposiums and workshops. ============================================================ In this workshop, we solicit research papers on all aspects of mobile, multimedia, Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks. Especially, we are interested in the research submissions focusing on the following four key aspects: 1) Congestion control problem: when multiple multimedia source nodes are deployed in wireless multimedia sensor networks, and they try to send out the streaming data to a single base station at the same time, a well designed congestion control scheme is essentially necessary; 2) Mobility support problem: when both multimedia source nodes and sink node can be mobile, it is easy to see that there is an opportunity to apply the game theory to further solve some more complicated optimization problems; 3) Duty-cycle support problem: when sensor nodes in the wireless multimedia sensor networks are random duty-cycled based, the network topology and connectivity of sensor networks can change from time to time. It is important to further investigate a cross layer optimized sensor node sleeping scheduling scheme to guarantee the network connectivity for packet delivery; 4) Target tracking problem: when multiple video sensor nodes are deployed to tracking a certain target in the sensor networks, it is important to further explore the collaboration between multiple video sensor nodes for facilitating the target tracking task. The objective of this workshop is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects of mobile, multimedia Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference/workshop are solicited.
