Call for Papers
First International Workshop on Advances in Wireless Sensor and Actuator
Networks - AWSAN'10
URL: http://www.kt.agh.edu.pl/~brus/awsan10/
to be held in conjunction with:
6th IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing,
Networking and Communications - WiMob 2010
http://conferences.computer.org/wimob2010/
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, 12th of October 2010
Wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSANs), as a scientific topic, are
currently the subject of intensive world-wide research activities. The
sensor technology promises multiple applications: from monitoring an
environment in dangerous regions or enemy forces in a battlefield to
controlling traffic in streets, inventory in storehouses and tracking
patients in hospitals. On the one hand, small and cheap sensing devices
create possibilities for gathering huge amounts of data in a non-intrusive
way. On the other hand, actuators add a new network dimension and
capabilities: the whole system can also react to the forthcoming events.
Still, there are crucial questions which are not answered. Could we design
a low-cost sensor technology which enables its massive and pervasive
application? Could WSANs be really independent and intelligent systems
performing their tasks autonomously without any external control?
The goal of this workshop is to gather people from academia and industry
and discuss the most emerging issues and future challenges in the area of
WSANs.
The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
* Low cost, low-complexity, low-price sensor technology
* Collaborative and distributed schemes
* Self-organized networks
* Biologically inspired WSANs
* Localization and positioning algorithms
* Routing and MAC protocols
* Target detection, identification and tracking
* Cross layer issues
* Network coverage, connectivity, topology, deployment of nodes
* Scalability, robustness, energy efficiency issues
* Data aggregation schemes
* Reliability, self-healing and recovery procedures
* Monitoring and surveillance systems
* Security and privacy issues
* Mobile sensor and actuator networks
* Dynamic network topologies
* Sensor networks modelling and simulations
* Prototypes, test-beds and field measurements
* Sensor network applications
Paper submission:
Authors are kindly invited to submit their manuscripts prepared according to
IEEE submission guidelines and not exceeding 8 pages (2 more pages are
possible with extra charge). The submissions should be realized through
EDAS system (http://edas.info/N8831). Submitted papers must be original
works that has not appeared in and are not under consideration in any
other conference or a journal. At least one of the authors must attend the
AWSAN'10 Workshop and present their work in order to have the paper
accepted.
The accepted papers will be included into the WiMob 2010 conference
proceedings and will be published in the IEEE digital database.
