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 EasyChair:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=algosensors2009. 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.
