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

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
