Recently, the wireless sensor network (WSN) is considered to be able to conduct many interesting applications. For example, for the smart home service, wireless sensors can be in-built on electric devices. When a user controls a device by a smart controller, the corresponding wireless sensor receives the command and performs appropriate/smart actions. For the industry, wireless sensor nodes can be used to monitor the vibration of machines. When there is an abnormal alarm, the sensor nodes can generate an instant report to the person in charge. Besides the above two examples, there are many other novel applications developing based on WSN technology, e.g., indoor localization, disaster monitoring, structure health monitoring, and so on. These applications have different considerations and requirements that need to be conquered. The aim of this workshop is to provide the opportunities for researchers and industrials to discuss on the achievements on applications that integrate with wireless sensors. We encourage authors to show possible scenarios, development of prototyping implementations, and evaluations on real cases. We further welcome the ideas which integrate with smart portable devices, involve multiple platforms, and interwork between different standards/protocols. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: -Integration of multiple platforms/protocols/devices in WSN applications -Sensing devices designing for WSN applications -Transmission protocol design and standard develop for WSN applications -Power management and energy conserving for WSN applications -Data mining and security issues for WSN applications -Test-beds and platforms for specific WSN applications -Real case studies/demonstrations/measurements of WSN applications -Trends and novel applications ===================== Submission guidelines ===================== Submitted papers must be in camera-ready IEEE format, not exceeding 5 pages.

SCOPE AND OVERVIEW ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The evolving information and communications (ICT) technologies present a unique opportunity to effect the transformation needed to move us towards the goal of sustainability by helping to reduce our carbon footprint, mitigate and adapt ill effects of climate change, reduce and repair environmental damage, provide effective disaster response and recovery, creatively manage overstressed infrastructures in crowded urban systems, and enhance use of planet friendly materials and technologies. ICT is already being integrated into many areas of our lives, such as smart management of city services, transportation, energy distribution and management, health care, etc., and this integration is expected to expand deeper and wider in the coming years and decades. Unfortunately, this ICT proliferation brings in its own challenges of increased carbon footprint, accelerating obsolescence of electronic equipment and its disposal issues, increased use of precious natural resources such as water and materials, etc. These twin problems of reducing the environmental impact of ICT and exploiting ICT for a more sustainable world form the underlying theme for SustainIT since its inception in 2010. This edition of SustainIT continues this theme by focusing on inter-disciplinary scientific challenges of enhancing the sustainability of ICT and via ICT. The goal of this conference is to bring together people from different research areas, and provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers from both industry and academia.
