The realization of WSANs 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 the following: - WSANs are generally composed of large number of sensor nodes that have limited computational and storage capacity. - In many applications, sensor nodes can be randomly scattered in unreachable regions. - The sensed phenomenon must be acted on by the actor nodes in field in a timely and accurate manner. - The lifetime of a sensor network is generally limited to the battery lifetime of sensor nodes. SANPA 2004 is intended to provide a forum for researchers to present their contributions as technical papers related to communication protocols for WSANs, data management, access, aggregation and fusion techniques, and sensor network applications. SANPA 2004 will continue and build upon the success of SNPA 2003 (held in conjunction with ICC 2003).
