S-CUBE 2009
The first international conference on Sensor Systems and Software
September 7-9, 2009 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
S-CUBE - the First Conference on wireless Sensor network (WSN) Systems
and Software - provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges
facing system development and software support for wireless sensor networks
based systems that have the potential to impact society in many ways.
Currently, wireless sensor networks introduce innovative and interesting
application scenarios that may support a large amount of different applications
including environmental monitoring, disaster prevention, building automation,
object tracking, nuclear reactor control, fire detection, agriculture,
healthcare, and traffic monitoring.
The widespread acceptance of these new services can be improved by the
definition of frameworks and architectures that have the potential to radically
simplify software development for wireless sensor network based applications.
The aim of these new architectures is to support flexible, scalable programming
of applications based on adaptive middleware. As a consequence, WSNs require
novel programming paradigms and technologies.
Moreover the design of new complex systems, characterized by the
interaction of different and heterogeneous resources, will allow the
development of innovative applications that meet high performance goals. Hence,
WSNs require contributions from many fields such as embedded systems,
distributed systems, data management, system security and applications. The
conference places emphasis on layers well above the traditional MAC and
routing, and transport layer protocols.
The aim of the conference is to create a forum in which researchers
from academia and industry, practitioners, business leaders, intellectual
property experts and venture capitalists may work together in order to compare
and debate different innovative solutions.
The conference will feature a highly selective technical program
consisting of regular papers, short papers, and posters as well as specialized
tracks at the intersection of business and technology.
