[Tccc] CFP: The 4th International Symposium on Intelligent Systems Techniques for Ad hoc and Wireless Sensor Networks (IST-AWSN'09)

IST-AWSN'09 is held in conjunction with MoMM 2009
The 7th International Conference on Advances in Mobile Computing &
Multimedia (MoMM2009)

Recent developments of low-cost, low-power, multifunctional wireless
sensors have enabled the fast growth of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)
applications, which include security, military, agriculture,
automation, environmental and habitat monitoring. WSNs consist of
numerous small inexpensive battery powered sensors; each sensor has the
capability to process and store the sensor data. A combination of the
dense deployment of numerous smart sensors, AI techniques, and
intelligent agents can provide continuous real-time monitoring that is
precise, accurate, reliable, and inexpensive.

This symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners
working on different aspects of wireless sensor networks and software
agent technology in an effort to highlight the state-of-the-art and
discuss the challenges and opportunities to explore new research
directions. We strongly welcome submissions that include results which
advance the state of the art relating to the theme of the symposium.

The main topics to be addressed include (but not limited to):

• Adaptive agents in AWSN
• Agent security and trust in AWSNs
• Agent-based architectures for AWSNs
• Agents design issues dealing with reliability, efficiency, and fault
tolerance
• Database management systems for AWSNs
• Distributed management systems for AWSNs
• Intelligent data fusion and aggregation
• Intelligent query and data dissemination
• Intelligent systems for AWSNs
• Learning agents in AWSN
• Mobile agents in AWSNs
• Monitoring agents in AWSNs
• Peer-to-Peer systems for AWSNs
• Power management and energy-efficient protocols
• Routing protocols for AWSNs
• Safe transmissions of data in AWSNs
• Self-organization of AWSNs
• Smart energy-efficient routing protocols


Publication

Only original papers will be considered that have neither been
published nor submitted for publication elsewhere, including web
publication. All submissions will be handled electronically. The length
of the paper is limited to 5 pages. All papers will be reviewed by at
least two independent reviewers.

Accepted papers will be published by ACM and the Austrian Computer
Society. Submission of a paper should be regarded as a commitment that,
should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register
and attend the conference to present the work.

Authors of high quality papers presented in the symposium will be
invited to submit extended version of their papers for publication in
international journal special issues.

IMPORTANT DEADLINES
Paper submission: August 31, 2009 (Extended)
Author notification: September 10, 2009
Camera-ready due: October 2, 2009

Organizers
Elhadi Shakshuki, Acadia University, Canada
Tarek Sheltami, King Fahd University, Saudi Arabia
