Special Session:
Data Dissemination and
Communication Protocols in Sensor Networks
The Third IET International Conference on
Intelligent Environments (IE'07), the University of Ulm, Germany, September
24-25, 2007.
-------------
Description
-------------
Sensor networks are used in various pervasive
and ubiquitous applications. These networks usually consist of a large number of
sensors that are deployed at remote and inaccessible places. As most of the
sensors are wireless, energy-efficient data dissemination and communication
protocols are needed; otherwise, batteries will rapidly drain and network
connectivity and coverage will become unacceptable. On one hand, we want the
sensor nodes to be active and monitor the environment. On the other hand, we
want the sensor nodes to conserve their energy by sleeping significant amount of
time. Further, depending on the application, robustness and responsiveness can
be very critical.
The objective of this special session is to
provide an opportunity for academic researchers and industry practitioners to
present and discuss experiences, emerging applications, and research results for
data dissemination and communication protocols in sensor networks.
