The First International workshop on

DISTRIBUTED CONTROL FOR MISSION-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS IN WIRELESS SENSOR
NETWORKS
(DCCA-WSN'2010, http://liuppa.univ-pau.fr/DCCA-WSN10/

In conjunction with 2nd ADHOCNETS-2010
(http://www.adhocnets.org/2010/index.html)
Venue: August 18-20, 2010. Victoria, British Colombia, Canada

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over the last decade Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has attracted a lot
of attention from the research community. With hundreds or thousands of
nodes, applications for these networks must use algorithms that are
highly distributed, since only short-ranged communication is preferred
in the context of strong energy limitations. The algorithms these
networks employ must be highly localized, as large distance
transmissions are very expensive, and diminish the network?s overall
lifespan. Due to the size of these networks, they must be
self-configuring, highly scalable, redundant, and robust in dealing with
shifting topologies due to node failure and environment changes.

The monitoring features of WSN have been applied to a large number of
applications related to environment (agriculture, water, forest, fire
detection, ...), military, buildings, health (elderly people, home
monitoring, ...), disaster relief, area and industrial monitoring. Most
of these applications have a high level of criticality and can not be
deployed with the current state of technology. Besides military
applications that possess an obvious criticality level and have a very
specific usage, surveillance applications oriented toward Critical
Infrastructures and disaster relief are also very important applications
that many countries have identified as critical in the near future. For
instance disaster relief applications provide an effective system to
detect living human beings to help to successfully manage a disaster
relief operation potentially saving hundreds of lives.

The goal of this workshop is to present the most recent research related
to distributed control & algorithms for mission-critical applications in
wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Node's organization and scheduling for mission-critical applications
- Quality of Service based routing for mission-critical applications
- Cooperative network control for mission-critical applications
- Controlled propagation and knowledge transmission in mission-critical
applications
- Data replication and availability for mission-critical applications
- Distributed/cognitive/bio-inspired data fusion in mission-critical
applications
- Mobile agents and fixed sensors interaction for mission-critical
applications
- Sound, video, multimodal sensors management for mission-critical
applications
- Trust and repudiation systems for mission-critical applications
- Multi-sensor data association/estimation for mission-critical applications
- Software architecture and supervision platform for mission-critical
applications
- Event, situation, behavior, threat modeling/recognition in
mission-critical applications
- Distributed object & scene recognition in mission-critical applications

Full papers must be submitted for review. Only original papers,
unpublished nor submitted for publication elsewhere, can be submitted.
Please visit http://www.adhocnets.org/2010/kit.html for the author's kit
for paper submission. Papers submission will use the ASSYST system as
for the main conference. See http://www.adhocnets.org/2010/subm.html for
details.

All submitted papers will go through a peer-review process. All accepted
papers will be published by Springer in the ICST Lecture Notes (LNICST)
series and will be considered for indexing by Information
Engineering(EI). The best papers (after extension) will be recommended
for consideration of publication in Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal and
ICST Transactions on Mobile Communications and Applications.
