MMASN 2009 will be held in conjunction with the The 8th International Conference on
Pervasive Intelligence and Computing (PICom 2009)
at Chengdu, China,
December 12-14, 2009 |
Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks have received tremendous attentions from both academic community and industry field for many years, since these networks are the key underlying infrastructure for realizing next generation networking and computing, e.g., ubiquitous computing, 4G all IP networks. Along with the fast development on the hardware and embedded systems, Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks are further developed towards a large number of mobile & multimedia applications, e.g., video surveillance, traffic enforcement and control systems, advanced health care delivery, structural health monitoring, and industrial process control. To eventually realizing these mobility & multimedia technologies combined applications, a lot of efforts are still needed from both academic community and industry field, since the requirements on supporting both mobility and multimedia streaming in Wireless Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks positioned many challenging issues, e.g., mobile network self-organization, limited resource intelligent allocation, cross-layer optimization, and intelligent content-aware transmission. |

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. |
