The eighth annual IEEE SECON conference will provide a unique forum to exchange innovative research ideas, recent results, 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 focused 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Papers describing original, previously unpublished research work, experimental efforts, practical experiences, and industrial and commercial developments in sensor, ad hoc, and mesh communications and networks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:
Vehicular Networks, Underwater Networks, Urban Sensing, and other Emerging Areas
Disruption Tolerant Networks
Measurements and Experimental Research
Security and Trustworthiness
Survivability, Network Management and Fault Tolerance
Modeling, Algorithms, and Performance Evaluation
Hardware and Software Platforms, Middleware
MAC, Network, Transport, Application Protocols and Cross-Layer Design
Network Coding, MIMO, White Space, Cooperative and Cognitive Communications
