CALL FOR PAPERS
Developments in computing and sensing hardware and in wireless communications have made it technologically feasible and economically viable to develop low-power sensor nodes that integrate general-purpose computing with multi-purpose sensing and wireless communications capabilities. Aggregating sensor nodes into sophisticated sensing, computational and communication infrastructures to form wireless sensor networks will have a significant impact on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to health-care, to domestic, establishing ubiquitous computing that will pervade society redefining the way in which we live and work.
This minitrack focuses on fundamental challenges arising in the design of wireless sensor networks and their applications. Our goal is to offer a forum for high caliber research and experimentation in this booming area. We will provide the participants with an up-to-date survey on wireless sensor networks and applications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Sensor-based systems and applications
* Visualization of sensor data
* Middleware and software tools
* Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination
* Embedded network-oriented operating systems
* Networking architectures and protocols
* Hardware aspects of sensor/node design
* Self-organization and governance
* Location and mobility management
* Topology control and time synchronization
* Power Management and energy-efficient design
* Cross-layer architectures
* Intelligent sensors
* Security and dependability issues
* Scalability of wireless sensor networks
* Interfacing with other wireless/mobile systems
* Work models for wireless sensor networks
* Modeling and performance evaluation
* Implementation experience and measurements
* Demos and prototypes
