• 5G/6G networks and technologies
• AI/ML for smart wireless networks
• AI and machine learning aided protocol design and resource allocation
• AI and machine learning based applications for ad hoc networks
• Algorithms for MANETs and WSNs
• Application Layer Protocols
• Clustering, topology control, coverage, and connectivity
• Cognitive networking
• Cooperative and cognitive communication
• Cooperative sensing, compressive sensing, sensing from communications
• Cloud, crowd-sourced, participatory and (mobile) social sensing
• Cyber-physical systems and applications
• Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination
• Energy-efficient architectures, algorithms, and protocols

• Security and privacy at all layers, including the physical layer
• Sensor enabled drone, UAV, UUV systems
• Smart grid, healthcare, transportation applications
• Vehicular networks and protocols
• Visible light communications
• Wearable and human-centric devices and networks

All submissions will be peer-reviewed based on relevance, originality, importance, and clarity.

Submission Guidelines and Proceedings

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not currently under review elsewhere. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum length of 9 single-spaced, double-column pages using 10pt fonts on 8.5 in x 11 in paper, including all figures, tables, and references, in PDF format.

Authors must use the Manuscript Templates for IEEE Conference Proceedings.

Reviewing will be single-blind, i.e., authors can keep their names on their submitted paper.

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by IEEE and will be presented at the conference. Based on TPC reviews and discussions, some papers may be accepted as 5-page short papers or 2-page posters in addition to the regular 9-page papers.

For each accepted paper to be published in the IEEE MASS 2025 Proceedings and IEEE Xplore, at least one author is required to register and attend the conference. The paper must be presented by an author listed on the paper. Substitute presenters, due to unforeseen circumstances or verifiable excuses, must be authorized in advance by the TPC Chairs. Unauthorized substitute presentations will result in the paper not being added to the IEEE digital archive of the conference proceedings.

Important Dates (EDT)

• Paper Submission Due: Wednesday, May 07, 2025 (firm deadline)
• Acceptance Notification: Tuesday, July 15, 2025
• Camera-ready Version: Friday, August 15, 2025
• Conference Dates: October 6-8, 2025
