The realization of WSNs require intensive technical research efforts especially in power aware scalable wireless ad hoc communications protocols due to their unusual application requirements and unique constraints such as - WSNs are generally composed of large number of nodes that have limited computational and storage capacity. - In many applications, sensor nodes are expected to be randomly scattered in unreachable regions. - The lifetime of a sensor network is generally limited to the battery lifetime of sensor nodes. SNPA 2003 is intended to provide a forum for researchers to present their contributions as technical papers related to communication protocols for WSNs, data management, access, aggregation and fusion techniques, and sensor network applications. The papers solicited in SNPA 2003 cover a variety of topics including but not limited to: - Communication protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks at all layers - Novel sensor network applications and services - Self organizing and scalable sensor network architectures - Software platforms and tools for sensor network application development - Energy efficient medium access control, error control, and traffic management protocols - Energy efficient system services such as localization and time synchronization - Robust distributed algorithms for collaborative processing - Mechanisms, protocols and algorithms for authenticated, secure communication - Application specific network and system services, including data-centric routing, attribute based addressing and location management - Data querying and dissemination - Data compression, association, aggregation and fusion SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS The papers should confirm with ICC 2003 paper format and can be up to 11 pages long. Authors should submit a PDF version of their paper to snpa03@cs.itu.edu.tr according to the following timetable Manuscript Due: October 22, 2002 Acceptance Notification: December 17, 2002 Final Manuscript Due: January 14, 2003 Workshop Date: May 11, 2003 ORGANIZATION PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Erdal Cayirci Department of Computer Engineering Istanbul Technical University Istanbul E-mail: erdal@ece.gatech.edu Taieb Znati Div.of Adv.Net.Inf.& Res.
