Summary: 
In this paper, we provide various perspectives related to wireless sensor and mobile ad hoc networking research. We reveal their commonalities and differences and suggest the need for participation from the computer science community, in addition to communications and protocols. In particular, we reveal the various issues that demand deeper investigation, collaborative research, and standardization. We introduced the aim, structure, objectives, and goals of the World Wireless Research Forum (WWRF) and highlight the activities conducted by the WWRF Working Group 3. Finally, we discuss the status of various standardization efforts and present new research issues and challenges.
