EWSN 2009 Call for Papers
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 goalof 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describing original, previously unpublished research results, are sought.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.
