The First Workshop on Radar and Sonar Sensor Networks (RSSN2010)
Aug 15, 2010, Beijing, China
http://students.uta.edu/jx/jxl5466/rssn-wasa10.htm
RSSN2010 is focused on the most recent results in the development of radar
sensor networks and underwater sensor networks. It will be held in
conjunction with the fifth International Conference on Wireless Algorithms,
Systems and Applications (WASA 2010), which will be organized on August
15-17, 2010, in Beijing, China. Accepted paper will be published in Springer
Lecture Notes in Computer Science. EI indexed.

[Call for Papers]
--------------------
Although radar and sonar rely on two fundamentally different types of wave
transmission, Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR) and Sound Navigation and
Ranging (SONAR) both are remote sensing systems with important military,
scientific and commercial applications. RADAR sends out electromagnetic
waves, while active SONAR transmits acoustic (i.e., sound) waves. In both
systems, these waves return echoes
from certain features or targets that allow the determination of important
properties and attributes of the target (i.e., shape, size, speed, distance,
etc.). Because electromagnetic waves are strongly attenuated (diminished) in
water, RADAR signals are mostly used for ground or atmospheric observations.
Because SONAR signals easily penetrate water, they are ideal for navigation
and measurement under water. The networking of radars or sonars are two
emerging research areas, known as radar sensor networks and underwater
sensor networks. The goal of the workshop is to publish the most recent
results in the development of radar sensor networks and underwater sensor
networks. Researchers and practitioners working in this area are expected to
take this opportunity to discuss and express their views on the current
trends, challenges, and state of the art solutions addressing various issues
in radar and sonar sensor
networks.
