The concept of "smart object" is defined as the junction between miniaturization with the development of wireless communications. A large number of applications in daily life enriched can be imagined: from PDA networks to smart space, from wireless smartcard to smart fridges. Smart objects like smartcards, RFID tags, wireless sensors, smart dust, require suitable basic software which takes into account the specificity of smart objects: limited resources, mobile and untrusted environment. This workshop covers the area of system and networking for smart devices. In particular, it will cover operating system architecture, network and transport layers, as well as applications, power management, security. It is the goal of this workshop to provide up to date information on research and development activities in this rapidly rising research area. Areas of relevant interest we foresee (but not limited to) include: * Smart devices like smartcards, RFID tags, sensors and smart dusts * Embedded operating system dedicated to smart objects * Mobile and ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery * Design principles and techniques for smart embedded systems * Middleware services for deployment and management of smart objects * Security and safety issues of ubiquitous computing systems * Location-dependent / personalized applications * Wireless sensor networks and group management of sensor nodes * Submission and Timetable * The submission deadline is January 14, 2005. Send papers as pdf file to David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr. Submitted papers should be formatted in a two-column IEEE Computer Society format (URL: http://computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm) and should not exceed 6 pages including figures and references. After SaNSO 2005, distinguished papers which are presented will be published in a special issue of International Journal of Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems (IJPEDS).
