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 lectromagnetic
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.
