Call for Papers
===============
Research in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has come a long
way since it began around a decade ago. While there have been numerous
small-scale WSN test bed implementations by the research community,
large-scale implementations, involving hundreds or even thousands of
nodes which are static or mobile are still unheard of. This symposium
focuses on the theoretical and practical challenges faced when dealing
with large-scale wireless sensor networks involving static and/or mobile
nodes.
Networks which scale thousands of static and/or mobile nodes need to
possess a number of inherent characteristics in order to function
properly. For example, scalability and distributed operation are
essential characteristics for any large scale deployment. WSNs will only
be widely adopted, if end-users are given guarantees about the operation
of the system. Thus providing QoS guarantees is very important. However,
providing such guarantees can be very difficult especially when one
considers the unreliability of wireless links in WSNs. As resources such
as energy, bandwidth, memory and computational power are highly
constrained, novel techniques are required to manage the resources by
maximizing the usage of cross-layer information, in order to guarantee
the operation of the network in accordance with the end-user's
requirements. The fact that manually administering every node
individually is impossible, makes it vital for the system to have
self-organizing and self-learni
ng capabilities in every section of the protocol stack. Heterogeneity is
another characteristic that makes the overall network architecture more
robust and efficient.

This symposium seeks papers that present novel solutions to the problems
listed above. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the
following:

- Networking protocols (MAC, Routing, Transport, Time
synchronization, QoS, Mobility support)
- Sensor information processing (Calibration, Adaptive sampling,
Signal processing)
- Distributed algorithms for data management (Querying, Data
aggregation, Coding, Storage) - Theoretical and simulation-based
modelling (Mobility models, Fundamental bounds and formulations)
- In-network data interpretation (Event detection and classification,
Context-awareness, Adaptive recognition algorithms, On-line training and
learning)
- Sensor-actuator coordination (Heterogeneous architectures,
Distributed control)
- System support (Operating systems, Network monitoring and
management, Network reprogramming, Simulation and debugging tools)
- Services (Service-oriented architectures, Service discovery,
Localization and tracking, Security)
- Real-world experiences (Novel applications, Deployments,
Experimental testbeds, Measurements)
