CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE SECON 2004
First Annual IEEE Communications Society Conference on
Sensor and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks
Technically Co-Sponsored By:
IEEE ComSoc TCCC
Santa Clara, California
October 4-7, 2004
Paper submissions due (via EDAS): June 7, 2004

==========================================================================
The convergence of the Internet, communications and information
technologies, coupled with recent engineering advances, is paving the
way for a new generation of inexpensive mobile devices, sensors and
actuators. It is the distributed and ad hoc deployment of networks of
these network devices and sensors that bears promises for a
significant impact, not only on science and engineering, but equally
importantly on a broad range of applications relating to critical
infrastructure protection and security, health care, the environment,
energy, food safety, production processing, quality of life, and the
economy.
This new IEEE Communications Society conference will provide a forum
to exchange ideas, techniques, and applications, discuss best
practices, raise awareness and share experiences among researchers,
practitioners, standard developers and policy makers in the field of
sensor and ad hoc networks and systems. The conference will be
organized to provide for a degree of collegiality and continuity in
the discussions of the various topics among participants from the
industrial, governmental and academic sectors.
Original technical papers, which address the communications,
networking, systems and algorithmic aspects of ad hoc and sensor
networks, as well as those that describe practical deployment and
implementation experiences are solicited for presentation at the
conference and publication in the conference proceedings. Papers
presenting novel contributions in such disciplines as digital signal
processing, communications, networking protocols and architectures,
algorithms, embedded systems, middleware and information management,
and novel applications are solicited.
PAPERS:
Two types of submissions will be accepted for review in this
conference:
* FULL papers describing original, previously unpublished research
work, experimental efforts, practical experiences, and industrial
and commercial developments in sensor and ad hoc communications and
networks. Papers with a deep focus on a specific discipline or
stimulated by the synergistic interaction of diverse disciplines are
encouraged.
* SHORT papers focusing on future research directions, industry
challenges and novel approaches in the field of sensor and ad hoc
communications and networks. Papers in this category must be
visionary, innovative and forward- looking.
Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* New architectures, protocols and access control to support
communication, localization, time synchronization, routing and data
dissemination in heterogeneous, large-scale distributed, ad hoc
networks and sensor networks
* Novel algorithms and theories for management, supervisory control
and monitoring of distributed ad hoc networks, and techniques for
the interpretation and use of sensor data in decision-making
processes
* Industrial and commercial developments and applications
* Modeling and performance evaluation of large-scale distributed and
ad hoc sensor networks, practical implementations, and real-work
experiences
* Theories and models on fundamental information and communication
aspects of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
* Mechanisms for authenticated, secure communication and data
dissemination in sensor and ad hoc networks
* Integration of sensors into engineered systems, including novel
techniques for sensor renewable power sources, mechanisms for
on-sensor self- calibration and self-testing and efficient schemes
to maximize accuracy and minimize false alarms
* Chip-based systems incorporating multiple sensors, computation,
actuation, and wireless interfaces
* Software platforms, middleware and tools for ad hoc and sensor
network applications development, deployment and management
TUTORIALS AND PANELS:
Proposals for tutorials and panels on current topics in the field of
ad hoc and sensor networking and applications are solicited. Panels
related to the commercial application and development of sensors and
ad hoc networks are especially encouraged.
DEMOS AND EXPO:
Demonstrations that showcase the practical implementations,
industrial and commercial developments, and new applications for ad
hoc and sensor networks are solicited.
SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS:
* All submissions will be handled electronically via EDAS
(http://edas.info).
Please refer to the appropriate link and information at the
conference website, http://www.ieee-secon.org/2004.
* The conference will only accept for review original papers that have
not been previously published and are not currently under review by
another conference or journal. All submissions will be handled
electronically and must be in PDF or PostScript format.
* The length of FULL papers (describing original, previously
unpublished research work, experimental efforts, practical
experiences, etc.) must NOT exceed 10 IEEE conference-style pages
(US "Letter" size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and
references, in two-column, single-space format, with a font size of
11 points.
* The length of SHORT papers (focusing on future research directions,
industry challenges, highly novel approaches, etc.) must not exceed
6 IEEE conference-style pages (US "Letter" size, 8.5 x 11 inches)
including text, figures and references, in two-column, single-space
format, with a font size of 11 points.
* Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected.
* All submissions will be reviewed for technical merits and relevance
to the conference.
* Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings.
