Proceedings: Accepted papers will be published in
full text in hardcopy proceedings, which are planned
to appear in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) Series of Springer Verlag after August 2009.
Submissions may be considered for a two-pages brief
announcement in case not accepted as a full text; authors
that wish their paper to be considered for both
full paper and brief announcement tracks should indicate
this fact in the front page.

TCS Journal Special Issue: As in previous years,
it is planned that selected high-quality papers will
be considered for publication in a Special Issue on
Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks of
Theoretical Computer Science (TCS).

Scope: Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have recently become a very active
research subject due to their high potential of providing diverse services to
numerous important applications, including remote monitoring and tracking
in environmental applications and low maintenance ambient intelligence in
everyday life. The effective and efficient realization of such large
scale, complex ad-hoc networking environments requires intensive,
coordinated technical research and development efforts, especially in
power aware, scalable, robust wireless distributed protocols, due to
the unusual application requirements and the severe resource
constraints of the sensor devices. On the other hand, a solid
foundational background seems necessary for sensor networks to achieve
their full potential. It is a challenge for
abstract modeling, algorithmic design and analysis to achieve provably
efficient, scalable and fault-tolerant realizations of such huge,
highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networks. Features including
the extremely large number of sensor devices in the network, the
severe power, computing and memory limitations, their dense, random
deployment and frequent failures, pose new interesting abstract
modeling, algorithmic design, analysis and implementation challenges
of great practical impact. Algosensors aims to bring together research
contributions related to diverse algorithmic and complexity theoretic
aspects of wireless
sensor networks. Contributions solicited cover the algorithmic issues
in a variety of topics including, but not limited to:
• Abstract models of sensor networks
• Virtual infrastructures
• Infrastructure discovery
• Methods for ad-hoc deployment/topology control
• Data propagation and routing
• Data aggregation/data compression
• Error and erasure correcting codes for information dispersal
• Energy management
• Power saving schemes
• Communication protocols
• Medium access control
• Localization
• Tracking
• Fault tolerance and dependability
• Self-stabilization
• Adaptiveness and Self-organization
• Game theoretic aspects
• Cryptography, Security and trust
• Distributed computing issues
• Time synchronization
• Swarm computing
• Mobile robotic sensors
• Algorithms for RFID
• Obstacle avoidance

How to Submit: Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original
research in the topics related to the workshop. Simultaneous submission
to other conferences is not allowed. Papers should not exceed twelve (12)
pages of text using at least 11 point size type, including references, figures,
tables, etc., preferably formatted in the LNCS style. Additional material may
be added at a clearly marked Appendix to be read at the discretion of
the Program Committee Members. Authors must submit their papers
electronically via Web page: http://www.algosensors.org. All papers
will be peer reviewed and comments will be provided to the authors.
Authors need to make sure that for each accepted paper at least one
author will attend the workshop.
