Call for Papers

Symposium on Wireless Sensor Networks


Scope

Wireless Sensor Networks have received tremendous attention over 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 Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work.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

Submission Guidelines

All papers are limited to 6 pages and must be in standard IEEE double-column format. All submissions will be handled electronically. Submissions should be uploaded via the WirelessCom05 Site
