We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ********************************************************************* Due to many requests SUBMISSION DEADLINE is *EXTENDED* to SEPTEMBER 13, 2004 !!! ********************************************************************* * EWSN 2005 * * * * 2nd European Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN) * * * * Istanbul, Turkey * * January 31 - February 2, 2005 * * * * http://www.ewsn.org * * * * Call For Papers * ********************************************************************* Scope of EWSN 2005: =================== Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are fast emerging as a new sensing paradigm based on the collaborative effort of large number of sensors deployed close to or inside the phenomenon to be observed, and have the potential of providing diverse services to numerous applications. The realization of WSNs require intensive technical research efforts especially on energy efficient scalable wireless ad hoc communication protocols due to their unusual application requirements and unique constraints. Additionally, WSNs are further evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems such that the tasks of event sensing and acting upon the phenomenon can be collectively realized in an autonomous manner by sensor and actuator nodes. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds ranging from hardware to applications, to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSN: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing, battery technology, energy scavenging * Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation, and mobility support; gateways to fixed Internet; providing functionalities like localization and synchronization * Source coding techniques appropriate for WSN to support data fusion * Middleware for WSN: Configuration and installation support, lookup of available functionalities, group communication, distributed algorithms in WSN, harmonizing node-centric and data-centric addressing, integrating WSN in middleware architectures like .NET * Security: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols, secure system engineering * Applications of WSN: novel applications and their requirements such as medicine, environment control, etc.; experiences with real-world applications * What part will WSNs play in realizing the visions of ubiquitous computing & communication and Ambient Intelligence. * Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds * Modeling of WSN: models for WSN load/applications, mobility or channel models For further information, please contact the co-chairs via: info(a)ewsn2005.org Important Dates: ================ Submission deadline: (*EXTENDED*) September 13, 2004 Notification of acceptance: December 6, 2004 Camera-ready version: December 24, 2004 EWSN 2005 Conference: January 31 - February 2, 2005 Submission Details: =================== The workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal.

[PerSeNS 2005] CfP: IEEE PerCom Workshop on Sensor Networks and Systems
by Raffaele Bruno 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

[Apologies for possible multiple copies] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First International Workshop on Sensor Networks and Systems for Pervasive Computing (PerSeNS 2005) http://www.ing.unipi.it/persens2005/ March 8, 2005 - Kauai Island, Hawaii in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2005 (http://www.percom.org/) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Wireless sensor networks are expected to be the basic building block of pervasive computing environments. Aggregating sensor nodes into sophisticated sensing, computational and communication infrastructures to form wireless sensor networks will have a significant impact on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to health-care, to domestic, establishing ubiquitous computing that will pervade society and redefine the way in which we live and work.The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of sensor networks are solicited. Papers describing prototype implementations and deployment of sensor networks and systems are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Sensor-based systems and applications - Operating systems - Middleware and software tools - Networking architectures and protocols - Location and mobility management - Topology control and time synchronization - Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination - Intelligent sensors - Power Management and energy-efficient design - Cross-layer architectures - Security and dependability issues - Modeling and performance evaluation - Measurements PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 5 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM). All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF file and submit it to persens2005(a)ing.unipi.it. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society in the combined PerCom 2005 workshop proceedings.
