10 Mar '09

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. =================================================== Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2009) http://cone.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/wewsn09/ In conjuction with DCOSS 2009 Marina Del Rey, California, June 2009 =================================================== Wireless sensor networks offer a wealth of capabilities for interfacing the physical world with applications in environmental, industrial, and medical domains. A typical wireless sensor network is expected to work without human intervention for a long time period. Hence, energy efficiency is of paramount importance in wireless sensor networks in order to achieve maximum network lifetime. Due to the energy constraints of sensor devices, communication protocols and hardware architectures for wireless sensor networks necessitate an energy-aware design to ensure the longevity of the network. While most wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices, new technologies such as energy harvesting have gained much attention in the research community recently. In addition, each layer of the communication protocol stack can employ various techniques to conserve energy with consideration of the hardware's capabilities to minimize energy expenditure. WEWSN intends to bring together the researchers working on various topics in wireless sensor networks with relation to energy. It will be held as a one-day workshop in conjunction with DCOSS'09, co-located with several related workshops on special topics in wireless networking, thus providing an ideal venue for researchers to share their ideas and discuss their latest research work. Scope Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research related to energy in wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following featured topics: * Architectures and protocols for energy management * Energy-aware data gathering and routing protocols * Wake-up scheduling algorithms * Duty cycle management * Data aggregation, conservation, optimization * Energy models for analysis and simulation * Resource management * Energy scavenging, energy harvesting * Coverage and connectivity algorithms * Cross-layer optimization * Energy and bandwidth efficient distributed signal processing * Medium access control and topology control * Error control protocols and fault-tolerance * Traffic management and congestion control * Energy-efficient system services (e.g. localization, time synchronization) * WSN hardware and operating systems Paper Submission Instructions We only accept original papers that have neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere.

================================================================================ C A L L F O R P A P E R **** ACM SenSys 2009 **** Berkeley California November 4-6 2009 (http://sensys.acm.org/2009) The 7th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys'09) solicits innovative research papers on the systems issues of networked, embedded sensing and control. The conference brings together academic, industry, and government professionals to a premier single-track, highly selective forum on the design, implementation, and application of sensor networks. SenSys takes a broad view of embedded networked sensor systems to include any distributed systems that collectively interact with the physical world. We invite submissions covering a broad range of networked sensing systems including conventional wireless sensor networks as well as novel platforms such as mobile sensors, cellphones, and domain-specific systems. We seek technical papers describing original ideas, groundbreaking results and/or quantified system experiences. We especially encourage submissions that highlight real-world sensor network deployments, new application domains, and retrospectives on the state-of-the-art. * Topics of interest: - System and network architecture; - Operating systems; - Services for time, location, and power management; - Reliability and fault tolerance; - Protocols at all layers (physical, link, network, and above); - Programming models and languages; - Data storage, retrieval, and processing; - System security and data integrity; - Novel applications and real-world deployments; - Actuation and control; and - Privacy and social implications. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, relevance, interest, correctness, and clarity. A good paper will: - Consider a significant problem; - Propose an interesting, compelling solution; - Demonstrate the practicality and benefits of the solution; - Draw appropriate conclusions; - Clearly describe what the authors have done; and - Clearly articulate the advances beyond previous work. Submissions will be subject to rigorous peer review and the top quality papers will be published in the conference proceedings. All published papers will be presented orally at the conference. * Submission: Submissions must be full papers, at most 14 single-spaced 8.5" x 11" pages, including figures, tables, and references, two-column format, using 10-point type on 12-point (single-spaced) leading, with a maximum text block of 7" wide x 9" deep with .25" intercolumn space. Papers that do not meet the size and formatting requirements will not be reviewed. * Key dates: - Paper Registration: April 1, 2009, 11:59 pm Eastern Time - Paper Submission Deadline: April 8, 2009, 11:59 pm Eastern Time - Notification of Acceptance: July 20, 2009 These are "hard deadlines" - no extensions will be granted. * Technical Program Committee Jie Liu (Microsoft Research) co-Chair Matt Welsh (Harvard University) co-Chair Tarek Abdelzaher, (UIUC) Philippe Bonnet, (DIKU) Andrew Campbell, (Dartmouth) Andrew Christian, (Nokia) Amol Deshpande, (Maryland) Adam Dunkels, (SICS) Jakob Eriksson, (UIC) Kevin Fu, (UMass Amherst) David Gay, (Intel) John Heidemann, (USC) Polly Huang, (NTU) Zachary Ives, (UPenn) Bhaskar Krishnamachari, (USC) Philip Levis, (Stanford) Nithya Ramanathan, (UCLA) John Regehr, (Utah) Alex Snoeren, (UCSD) Subhash Suri, (UCSB) Andreas Terzis, (JHU) Fan Ye, (IBM Watson Lab) Feng Zhao, (MSR) ================================================================================ -- Dr. Jan Beutel j.beutel(a)ieee.org Computer Engineering and Networks Laboratory, ETZ G75 ETH Zurich +41 44 632 70 32 Phone Gloriastrasse 35 +41 44 632 10 35 Fax CH 8092 Zurich/Switzerland http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/~beutel
