*********************** CFP *******************************

2nd International Workshop on Marine Sensors and Systems (MARSS2014)
http://jlloret.webs.upv.es/marss2014/

in conjunction with The thirteenth International Conference on Ad-Hoc Net=
works=20
and Wireless (AdHoc Now-2014)
Benidorm, Spain, June 22-27, 2014.

SCOPE:

Sensor networks and sensor-based systems support many applications today =
on the=20
ground. Underwater operations and applications are quite limited by compa=
rison.=20
Most applications refer to remotely controlled submersibles and wide-area=
 data=20
collection systems at a coarse granularity. Underwater sensor networks ha=
ve many=20
potential applications such a seismic imaging of undersea oil fields as a=
=20
representative application. Oceanographic research is also based on the a=
dvances=20
in underwater data collection systems.

There are specific technical aspects to realize underwater applications w=
hich=20
can not be borrowed from the ground-based sensors net research. Radio is =
not=20
suitable for underwater systems because of extremely limited propagation.=
=20
Acoustic telemetry could be used in underwater communication; however off=
-the-
shelf acoustic modems are not recommended for underwater sensor networks =
with=20
hundreds of nodes because they were designed for long-range and expensive=
. As=20
the speed of light (radio) is five orders of magnitude higher than the sp=
eed of=20
sound, there are fundamental implications of time synchronization and=20
propagation delays for localization. Additionally, existing communication=
=20
protocols are not designed to deal with long sleep times and they can not=
 shut=20
down and quickly restart.

The International Workshop on Marine Sensors and Systems, MarSS, brings t=
ogether=20
practitioners and researchers for discussion and work on the emerging asp=
ects=20
pertaining to the new mechanisms for underwater sensor networks and=20
applications.
