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 (

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
Papers should contain original material and not be previously published,
or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be
limited to 5 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance
with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines (
ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM).
All submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a
PDF file and submit it to
persens2005@ing.unipi.it. Accepted
papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society in the combined PerCom
2005 workshop proceedings.
