EWSN 2005 2nd European Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks Istanbul, Turkey January 31 - February 2, 2005 http://www.ewsn.org/ CALL FOR POSTER PAPERS
OVERVIEW OF WORKSHOP
After the successful completion of the 1^st European Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN 2004) in Berlin, Germany during Jan. 19-21, 2004, the 2nd European Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN 2005) will take place in Istanbul, Turkey during Jan. 31�Feb. 2, 2005. The goal EWSN 2005 is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds, 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.
POSTER SESSION
The poster session enables authors to present their recent and ongoing research in an interactive environment where authors and session participants will be able to discuss and exchange ideas on recent research topics.
We encourage contributions to the poster session with papers describing original work in the same interest areas of the workshop including (but 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.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
The submitted papers should be original papers on complete or ongoing recent work that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts must be formatted according to the IEEE single-space double-column standard conference format, except the font size, which must be 11 pt. The maximum length of the manuscript is 4 pages, including text, figures and references. All submissions must be in PDF or PostScript format, and they should be sent by e-mail to both poster session co-chairs. The submission should also include contact information of the corresponding author.
The poster papers will appear in the proceedings of the workshop.
