EWSN
2009 Call for Posters/Demos
The
6th European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks
February
11th-13th, Cork, Ireland
============================================================================
EWSN
is acknowledged as one of the most competitive and well-established
international
conferences in the area of wireless sensor networks (WSNs).
It
attracts papers of the highest quality from researchers around the globe,
emphasising
work that involves inter-disciplinary collaboration. EWSN is
consistently
well-attended, with delegates that reflect a healthy mix of
university
academics and industry representatives, that are drawn from all
the
major centres of WSN research activity and that span all the main
continents.
The goal of this conference is to create a forum where researchers
with
different experiences and backgrounds, from hardware to applications,
can
discuss cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems
and
envisage the future development of WSN functionalities. Submissions
describing
original, previously unpublished research results, are sought.
Areas
of interest include, but are not limited to:
*
WSN Hardware: transceiver concepts, antenna design, system integration and
manufacturing,
battery technology and energy harvesting;
*
Communication Protocols: MAC and link layer issues, radio resource
assignment,
routing and transport protocols, topology control protocols,
gateways
to Internet and other networks, 6LoWPAN;
*
Algorithms and Protocols: localization techniques and protocols,
performance
control, time synchronization and related protocols, object
tracking;
*
Operating Systems and Programming Abstractions: concepts and tools for
programming
and debugging sensor networks, high-level programming
abstractions;
*
Middleware and Service Infrastructures: (dynamic) configuration and
installation
support, network management, group communication, QoS support,
integrating
WSNs in existing middleware architectures;
*
Information Processing: storage, querying, compression, fusion,
aggregation,
cooperative algorithms, event detection;
*
Practical Models and Algorithms: resource consumption, network performance,
network
planning, provisioning, calibration and deployment, mobility models;
*
Security and Resilience: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols,
secure
system engineering, failure resilience and fault isolation, robustness
at
all levels: communication, software, hardware;
*
Novel Applications: application requirements, experiences with real-world
applications,
management of (large-scale) sensor networks;
*
Prototypes, Field Studies, and Testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes,
measurements
within testbeds, debugging and testing, experimental
validation/refutation
of simulation results.
