Scope and Topics of Interest
Recent advancements in wireless technologies have enabled networked 
solutions for many unconventional civil and military applications. In 
recent years, ad-hoc networks have been attracting increased attention from 
the research and engineering communities, motivated by applications like 
digital battlefield, asset tracking, air-borne safety, situational 
awareness, and border protection. Similarly, advances in micro-electro-
mechanical devices and large-scale integration have enabled the realization 
of miniaturized sensor nodes that can probe their surroundings and transmit
their measurements using on-board wireless transceivers. Large-scale 
networks of miniaturized sensor nodes may also enable new applications such 
as target tracking, security surveillance, elder care, and forest 
monitoring. Both ad hoc and sensor networks are characterized by their 
dynamic nature, which requires them to be adaptive to changes in the 
application environment, task objectives, and topological changes, among 
others. The last few years have witnessed the development of many 
innovative solutions for ad-hoc and sensor networks that are maturing to 
the level of commercialization and standardization. Yet, numerous 
challenges remain for the implementation of practical solutions that 
operate robustly, securely, and efficiently. The Ad Hoc and Sensor 
Networking Symposium of GLOBECOM'2013 opts to foster a forum for sharing 
ideas and recent results among researchers and practitioners working on 
state-of-the-art solutions related to ad-hoc and sensor networks. We are 
soliciting papers that describe original and unpublished contributions.
