The IoT, Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Technical Committee (IoT-AHSN TC) technical Achievement and Recognition Award aims to promote ad hoc and sensor networks research and development activities in both academic and industrial communities.
This award is established as part of the IoT-AHSN TC activities in which R&D takes place in areas related to IoT, ad hoc and sensor networks. The award recognizes members of the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) who have made significant contributions to technological advancement of ad hoc and sensor networks.
