SCOPE
Tremendous technological advances have been made in the development
of
low-cost sensor devices equipped with wireless network interfaces.
The
design of large-scale sensor networks interconnecting several
hundred
to a few thousand sensor nodes has attracted recent
research
attention. The sensors monitor various types of information such
as
temperature, pressure, chemicals, etc. and/or transmit voice and
video
data. Such sensor networks may be used for applications
spanning
several domains including military, medical, industrial, and
home
networks. Some of the key challenges deal with scalability of
network
protocols to large number of nodes, design of simple and
efficient
protocols for different network operations, design of
power-conserving
protocols, design of security mechanisms and protocols,
design of data
handling techniques including data querying, data mining, data
fusion
and data dissemination, and development of exciting new
applications
that exploit the potential of wireless sensor
networks.
The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for
researchers
and technologists to present their contributions as technical
papers
related to wireless sensor networks. The issues and challenges
for
the development of wireless sensor networks not only encompass a
broad
spectrum of research topics but also involves a way to envision
the
evolution of a new breed of multi-disciplinary wireless
network
applications.
TOPICS
Papers are solicited in all research and applied areas related
to
wireless sensor networks, which include but are not limited
to:
* Self-Organizing Network
Architectures
* Routing and medium access control
protocols
* Power-aware protocol
design
* Low-power sensor
design
* Applications of sensor
networks
* Mechanisms, protocols and algorithms for
Network Security
* Data Compression and Data
Fusion
* Localization
techniques
* Data Querying and Data
Dissemination
* Collaborative Signal
Processing
*
Quality-of-Service
* Operating system
issues
SUBMISSION
INSTRUCTIONS
All paper submissions will be handled electronically.
Authors should
prepare a PostScript or Portable Document Format (PDF) version
of
their paper. No other format will be accepted. Instructions
for
submission are available at http://wsna02.cs.uga.edu.
Papers must
meet the following restrictions:
- The paper must be original
material that has not been previously
published nor is
currently under review by another conference or
journal.
-
Papers should be no longer than *12 pages* (two column is
acceptable), in font no smaller than 10 points. (Note that
ACCEPTED
