http://www.willopan.org/
In Conjunction with COMSWARE 2006
January 8th, 2006
New Delhi, India
Wireless local area
networks (LANs) and personal area networks (PANs) are becoming more and more
popular today. Applications for such networks include wireless extensions of
wired networks (such as 802.11 family of networks), cable replacement and
short-range communications (such as Bluetooth and UWB), packet radio networks,
sensor networks (such as 802.15.4 ZigBee), and other wireless networks with
fixed or variable topology. Performance of such networks is the major factor
that determines their feasibility for the given set of application requirements.
Performance has many different aspects, from physical and data link layers, and
all of these are intimately related to topology, energy efficiency, management,
user mobility, and security issues. The key goals of this improvement include
Quality of Service (QoS) support mechanisms, efficient channel access
mechanisms, and energy saving mechanisms, etc. The effort to improve the MAC
layer is linked with many technical challenges including compatibility with
legacy networks, complexity in implementation, and practical values in real
market, etc. The need to address QoS support, MAC enhancement, and energy saving
and provide timely, solid technical contributions in the MAC layer of these
networks establishes the motivation behind this workshop. Original papers are
invited on emerging architectures and technologies in the design of wireless
local area networks (WLANs) and wireless personal area networks (WPANs) with
emphasis on the use of such networks in diverse areas of applications such as
supporting ubiquitous mobile Internet access, and the design of ad-hoc/mesh
networks, and sensor networks. The workshop solicits high quality and previously
unpublished work in the field. The main scope of the workshop is the MAC layer
and above. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Design
and improvements of MAC protocols
- Performance evaluation of different MAC
protocols

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

registered at the full rate, this fulfills the obligation for up to four
papers where all the other authors are students.
