The seventh annual IEEE SECON conference will provide a unique forum to exchange innovative research ideas, recent results, and share experiences among researchers and practitioners in the field of sensor, mesh, and ad hoc networks and systems. IEEE SECON grew out of the IEEE INFOCOM conference in 2004, in order to create an event that focused on the important and exciting topics of Sensor, Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications Networks.

Papers describing original, previously unpublished research work, experimental efforts, practical experiences, and industrial and commercial developments in sensor, ad hoc, and mesh communications and networks are solicited. Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Vehicular Networks, Underwater Networks, Urban Sensing, and other Emerging Areas
• Measurements and Experimental Research
• Security
• Survivability, Network Management and Fault Tolerance
• Modeling, Algorithms, and Performance Evaluation
• Hardware and Software Platforms, Middleware
• MAC, Network, Transport, Application Protocols and Cross-Layer Design
• Network Coding, MIMO, Cooperative and Cognitive Communications
