DWSAN4CIP 2009: CALL FOR PAPERS
International Workshop on Dependable Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks
for Critical Infrastructure Protection
http://www.wsan4cip.eu/dwsan4cip
October 12 - 14, 2009, St. Petersburg, Russia
Technically Sponsored by
IEEE Communications Society Russia Northwest Chapter
Thematically supported by EU FP7 project WSAN4CIP
OVERVIEW:
It is hard to overestimate the role of ICT systems in operational cycles of
modern industry and life supporting infrastructures. ICT control systems are
used to continuously monitor the state of industrial processes and status of
critical infrastructures. Over the last few years Wireless Sensor and
Actuator Networks (WSAN) technology appeared as an ideal technological
building block to improve the reliability and availability of ICTs in
critical operational environments. On the other hand WSANs themselves become
part of a critical infrastructures and processes. Whenever another layer of
complexity is added to a system, this opens new possibilities for system
failures, misuse or malicious attacks. The critical prerequisite for WSANs
to be adopted in performance critical applications is their dependability,
i.e. the ability of a system to deliver specified services to the user.
It is, however, by far not trivial to make WSANs dependable for variety of
applications in different operation environments and having different
performance requirements. For DWSAN workshop we solicit original
contributions aiming at achieving dependability of WSAN technology on
different layers.
Experiences from real-life deployment of dependable WSANs, application
dependent WSAN design methodologies, dependable MAC, network and transport
protocols, general issues of reliability, security in dependable WSANs are
some of the key research topics to be discussed during the workshop.
The goal of the workshop is to present high-quality results in the field,
and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused
discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions. In
this context, the program committee will accept only a limited number of
papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic
relevance.
Workshop Topics
The workshop objectives will be pursued through highly technical sessions
organized thematically and keynote talks offered by recognized experts.
Topics of interest to DWSAN 2009 include (but are not limited to) the
following:
* Real life experience from deployment of wireless sensor networks in
critical applications
* Methodologies for assessment of performance requirements
* Methodologies for systematic design of WSAN communication architecture
* Application of control theory for cross-layer optimization of dependable
communication protocols for WSAN
* Dependable MAC protocols
* Dependable routing protocols
* Dependable transport protocols
* Intelligent energy and QoS management
* Fault tolerant middleware for WSANs
* Operating systems for dependable WSANs
* Security services
Keynote speech
We have a pleasure to announce that the keynote speech this year will be
given by Professor Ivan Stojmenovic, SITE, University of Ottawa, Canada

Proceedings
The authors are invited to submit full papers describing original,
previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by
another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and
development in all areas of computer networking and data communications. All
papers will be reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings as well as electronically in IEEE Xplore. Papers must be
submitted electronically in the conference site. Please adhere to the IEEE
formatting standard for a 12-page manuscript.
The cover page must contain an abstract of about 150 words, 3-5 keywords,
name and affiliation of author(s) as well as the corresponding author's
e-mail and postal address.
Revised and extended versions of the most outstanding papers will be
published in the International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection
(Elsevier)
