The Fifth IEEE PerCom International Workshop on
Sensor Networks and Systems for Pervasive Computing (PerSeNS 2009)

http://www.ing.unipi.it/persens/

in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2009 (http://www.percom.org/)
March 9-13, 2009, Galveston, Texas

CALL FOR PAPERS

Thanks to wireless sensor networks, pervasive computing environments are
becoming a reality. Wireless sensor networks are aggregates of sensor nodes into
sophisticated sensing, computational and communication infrastructures. These
new networks are having a significant impact (and promises to have even more) 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 and redefine the way in which we live and work.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss
solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and
application developers both from industry and academia. Original papers
addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of sensor networks are
solicited. Papers describing prototype and experimental implementations and
deployment of sensor networks and systems are particularly welcome.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Sensor-based systems and applications
- Operating systems
- Middleware and software tools
- Networking architectures and protocols
- Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination
- Topology control
- Power management and energy-efficient design
- Time synchronization
- Location management
- Sensor networks with mobile elements
- Cross-layer architectures
- Intelligent sensor nodes
- Security and dependability issues
- Modelling and performance evaluation
- Measurements

PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or
currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to
6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the
IEEE Computer Society author guidelines
(ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM).

All submissions will be handled via EDAS. Accepted papers will be published by
the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2009 workshops
proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend
the workshop to present the paper.
