The 2022 IEEE 19th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-Hoc and Smart Systems will be held in Denver (USA), October 20 – 22, 2022, https://sites.google.com/view/ieee-mass-2022. The conference is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Computer Society’s TCDP. It is a premier annual forum for sharing original, novel ideas in mobile ad-hoc networks and smart systems, defined broadly. As wireless ad-hoc networks continue to evolve and specialize into a number of application scenarios and environments, and sensor-based systems and technologies increasingly permeate our everyday life and become the inner fabric of the Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems, the unfolding of smart environments such as smart cities, smart farming, smart healthcare, and smart manufacturing, to name a few, demand integrated solutions that can make intelligent use of both cloud and edge systems, while applying machine learning and artificial intelligence tools to handle their growing complexity and to leverage the vast amount of available data created.

IEEE MASS 2022 will offer original paper presentations, keynotes, and workshops from prominent research, and industry leaders. Workshops will be on October 22, 2022. The aim of the conference workshops is to emphasize emerging topics that are not specifically covered in the main tracks. Each workshop may include a mix of regular papers, invited presentations, keynotes and panels that encourage the participation of attendees in active discussion.

Please address all questions to the Workshops Co-Chairs: Prof. Chen Qian (cqian12@ucsc.edu) and Dr. Anna Maria Vegni (annamaria.vegni@uniroma3.it).
