-------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS -----------------

International Workshop on Marine Sensors and Systems (MARSS 2011)
October 17-22, 2011, Valencia (Spain)
In conjunction with IEEE MASS 2011
http://mass2011.upv.es/marss2011/index.html


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

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

The International Workshop on Marine Sensors and Systems, MarSS, brings together \
practitioners and researchers for discussion and work on the emerging aspects \
pertaining to the new mechanisms for underwater sensor networks and applications.
