Travel Support for Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS) 2005 Conference; November 7-10, 2005; Washington, DC

最近关于无线网络和移动的计算的研究主要集中在单跳网络上，在这种网络中，网络节点直接与固定的基础设施（如蜂窝或卫星系统）通信。 在ad-hoc和传感器网络中，多跳场景是网络节点通过其他网络节点进行通信的主要场景。 这一领域的重要性日益增加，导致了第二届IEEE移动的自组织和传感器系统国际会议（MASS 2005）的组织。 MASS 2005将于2005年11月7日至10日在华盛顿举行。 会议由IEEE计算机协会分布式处理技术委员会和模拟技术委员会以及IEEE通信协会主办。

This grant is supporting travel for student authors to the MASS 2005 conference.Recent research on wireless networks and mobile computing has concentrated on single-hop networks, where network nodes communicating directly to a fixed infrastructure such as cellular or satellite systems. In ad-hoc and sensor networks, multi-hop scenarios where network nodes communicate via other network nodes are dominant. The increasing importance of this area has led to the organization of the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS 2005). MASS 2005 will be held November 7-10, 2005 in Washington, DC. The meeting is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Distributed Processing and Technical Committee on Simulation as well as the IEEE Communications Society.
