Call for Papers
The Fifth International Conference on
Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN'06)
April 19-21, 2006 - Nashville, TN, USA
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~ipsn06/
The Fifth International Conference on Information
Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN 2006) will continue the
success of the previous four symposia to bring together
researchers from academia, industry, and government to
present and discuss recent work in sensor network research
and applications. IPSN draws upon many disciplines
including signal and image processing, information and
coding theory, networking and protocols, distributed
algorithms, wireless communications, machine learning,
embedded systems design, and data bases and information
management.
Due to their success, the 2006 IPSN will continue to feature:
* Special track on Platform Tools and Design Methods for
Network Embedded Sensors (SPOTS) will present demonstrable
advances in components, tools, platforms as well as
applications for networked sensor systems.
* Works-in-Progress (WIP) Session. The aim of the shorter,
less formal WIP Abstract submission is to facilitate
collaborations and to encourage new people to get into the
field.
Topics covered in technical sessions include, but are
not limited to, the following:
* Distributed & collaborative signal processing
* Network protocols for sensor networks
* Coding, compression & Information theory
* Distributed query processing
* Detection, classification, estimation, tracking
* Sensor tasking and control
* Networked sensing and control
* In-network processing and aggregation
* Distributed control & actuation
* Distributed inference & fusion
* Fault tolerance
* Network coverage, connectivity & longevity
* Data storage in sensor networks
* Location and time service
* Energy and resource management
* Programming models and languages
* Real-time scheduling
* Security
* Applications & demonstrations of sensor networks

***********************************************************
1st International Workshop on Software for Sensor Networks (SensorWare) - CFP
***********************************************************
Welcome to the 1st International Workshop on Software for Sensor Networks (SensorWare) to be held on the 8 January 2006. The workshop is held in conjunction with COMSWARE 2006 in the beautiful and historical city of New Delhi.
Advances in technology have made deployment of miniature sensors a realistic proposition. These sensors are low-power, inexpensive, smart devices with multiple on-board sensors, and are connected through wireless links, so as to form a collaborative sensor network to perform a specific task. As a result, it opens up a new paradigm of ubiquitous computing and enables a range of applications that are previously unrealizable or too costly to be realized. However, given the limitation of on-board hardware, one of the key areas towards achieving superior performance is through the software implementation. The workshop is intended for the presentation and discussion of novel algorithms and software implementation for sensor networks. This workshop, intends to bring together engineering experts and academicians to discuss the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and applications in the form of panels and technical presentation.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
Operating System
Efficient algorithms
Protocol design
Performance analysis
Performance related issues
Sensor applications
Deployment issues and scenarios
Middleware
Sensor security
Sensor network design and modeling
