Precise date is not known yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP --------------------- Wireless sensor networks (WSN) - networks of tiny sensing devices capable of wireless communication - realize the vision of pervasive computing and bridge the gap between computer systems and the real world. They are deeply embedded into physical surroundings and gather and process environmental data like temperature, humidity, light conditions, seismic activities, or images of the environment. This data can be used to detect events and to trigger activity. Some applications are habitat monitoring (observing live animals), precision agriculture, structural health monitoring (detecting damage in buildings, bridges, aircrafts), emergency and rescue operations, supply chain management, or perimeter and building security. Building on the success of the first Workshop on Sensor Networks at Informatik 2004, this workshop aims at bringing together researchers from different backgrounds to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Hardware for WSNs and its impact on communication protocols - Operating systems and middleware for WSNs - Communication protocols for WSNs, e.g. MAC and routing, addressing schemes - Distributed classification and data fusion - Distributed data storage and processing - Self-organization in sensor networks - Quality of Service in WSNs - Energy/efficiency tradeoffs in all protocol layers - Security requirements and security primitives for WSNs - Access control and trust management - Privacy impacts of WSNs - Inter-connection between WSN and the Internet - Testbeds, use cases PARTICIPANTS ------------ The intended audience are researchers from academia and industry, especially working in the areas of sensor networks, embedded systems, communication middleware, and databases as well as resource-constrained communication networks as such. SUBMISSION ---------- We accept submissions in both German and English. Submissions must not exceed 5 pages including figures and bibliography and have to be formatted according to the style guidelines of the Springer LNI series available at http://www.gi-ev.de/LNI/.

This next generation of systems require a great degree of research in self-knowledge, self-management and introspective capability for understanding and amelioration of environment. The issue of context in autonomic communication and computing is an exciting new area, which can prove extremely valuable and informative to ubiquitous, pervasive and ambient intelligence research. Detailed information on this special issue is available here: https://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=144 Please take note of the deadline of 15 March 2005.
