We apologize if you have received multiple copies of this CFP.

Scope

Wireless Sensor Networks have received tremendous attention over the past few years. These systems can potentially benefit a variety of scientific, military and commercial applications. Recent years have seen tremendous advancement to this vision and have offered the ability to deploy networks of densely deployed, inexpensive sensor nodes. The vast potential for this research area has been demonstrated by numerous scientific and commercial applications that have emerged in recent years, as well as by the number of industrial and research institutions working in this area.

Sensor networks combine distributed sensing, computation, storage, and wireless multi hop communication. Many challenges need to be overcome in this research area to realize its potential. Original papers are invited on a broad range of research topics relating to wireless sensor networks. Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Communication techniques and protocols * Scalable architectures and programming models * Energy and resource management * In-network processing and data aggregation * Distributed query processing and data storage * Applications of wireless sensor networks * Localization, time-synchronization and calibration * Simulation tools, operating systems and middleware * Collaborative signal processing * Distributed control and actuation * Security * Cross-layer design and optimization
