Final call for Papers (submissions due 15th February): ======================================================

The Second IEEE Workshop On Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNetS-II)

http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/%7Eemnet/

May 30th-31st 2005, Sydney, Australia

The Second IEEE Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNetS-II) will bring together researchers working in the broad area of embedded, networked sensors. The goal of the workshop is to promote community-wide discussion of ideas that will influence and foster continued research in the field. The workshop will provide a venue for researchers to present new ideas that have the potential to significantly impact the community in the long term, especially those exploring how practical considerations or novel application scenarios and requirements shape the design of these embedded and sensor networks.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Validation or new architectural approaches for sensor networks

* Tradeoffs between application specific, and modular approaches based on prototyping and implementation

* Software and architectures for sensor network programmability

* Approaches to ease deployment and improve manageability of embedded and sensor networks

* Experimental and measurement tools for sensor networks

* Reliability and fault-tolerance, debugging and troubleshooting for sensor networks

* Novel applications for embedded and sensor networks

* Sensor network security, vulnerabilities and defenses

* Algorithms, protocols and systems for communication, coordination, data dissemination and storage, sensor tasking and control/actuation

* Operational experiences from deployed sensor networks and prototypes

EmNetS-II solicits papers (8 pages or less) about new work in these areas. Papers will be selected based on their originality, technical merit and topical relevance. Extended abstract of 2 pages may be submitted for poster session. Detailed submission instructions will be posted at the workshop website.
