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
- Agent-based technologies for mission-critical applications
- Sound, video, multimodalsensors 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 and select the DCCA-WSN workshop.

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).
