2010 The 2nd International Workshop on Mobile, Multimedia Ad Hoc &
Sensor Networks (MMASN 2010)

http://www-nishio.ist.osaka-u.ac.jp/~~leishu/workshop/mmasn2010.htm

11-13 August 2010 Philippines

In conjunction with the 2nd International Conference Information
Technology Convergence and Services

http://www.ftrai.org/itcs2010/

Overview

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. 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.
