The sixth annual IEEE SECON conference will provide a unique forum to
exchange ideas, discuss best practices, raise awareness, and share
experiences among researchers and practitioners in the field of sensor,
mesh, and ad hoc networks and systems. IEEE SECON grew out of the IEEE
INFOCOM conference in 2004, in order to create an event that focuses on
the important and exciting topics of Sensor, Mesh and Ad Hoc
Communications Networks.

Papers describing original, previously unpublished research work,
experimental efforts, practical experiences, and industrial and commercial
developments in sensor, ad hoc, and mesh communications and networks are
solicited. Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Modeling, Algorithms, and Performance Evaluation
* Measurements and Experimental Research
* Hardware and Software Platforms, Middleware
* New Architectures
* MAC, Network, Transport, Application Protocols and Cross-Layer Design
* Network Coding, MIMO, Cooperative Communications and Other Novel
  Techniques
* Cognitive Radios, Vehicular Networks, Underwater Networks, Urban Sensing,
  and other Emerging Areas
* Security, Survivability and Fault Tolerance
