The purpose of the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor
Networks (REALWSN) is to bring together researchers and practitioners
working in the area of sensor networks, with a focus on real-world
experiments and deployments. Included are, nonetheless, new forms of
sensing such as those that leverage smart phones, Internet of Things,
RFIDs, and robots.
When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many issues
arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of
different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network
structures; software development for large scale networks poses new
types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from
the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a
complex combination of autonomous and manual
configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are
typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is
therefore imperative for the community to produce results from
experimental research.
Authors are invited to submit poster and demo abstracts (4 pages,
Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size). Accepted abstracts will be
included in the proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes
in Electrical Engineering (LNEE). Accepted abstracts will be indexed
by all major digital libraries (e.g., ISI, Scopus, Google Scholar).
All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks and modern
forms of sensing are of interest, including but not limited to:
* Experiences with real-world deployments
* Mining real-world sensor network data
* Sensor systems leveraging smart phones (crowd sensing)
* Sensors systems involving Internet of Things (IoT), RFIDs, robots
* Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation
results obtained by others
* Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management
* Debugging, testing, validation, and management
* Deployment and configuration
* Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring
* Security and trust
* Scalability in practice
* Development and prototyping platforms
* Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages
* Middleware for heterogeneous networks
* Real-time and dependability issues
* Hardware support for real-world sensor networks
* Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware
* Energy efficient protocols
* Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling
Posters:
Posters should demonstrate early work in areas of interest similar to
those listed in the call for papers. Good posters describe exciting
ideas for which some preliminary results are available. Authors can
also include in their submission an appendix showing a thumbnail of
the poster content. The submission of the thumbnail is not mandatory
and can be included or not at sole discretion of the authors. Posters
should be prepared for A0 paper and portrait orientation, show the
same title as the abstract, and include names and affiliation of the
authors.
Demonstrations:
Demonstrations should showcase innovative research and applications
related to the calls for papers. The submission should include an
appendix describing the intended setup of the proposed demo and its
main requirements (e.g., power supply, space, etc.). The appendix
should be removed for the final submissions.
Submissions:
Submissions will be handled through HotCRP at
http://realwsn.deib.polimi.it/hotcrp-poster.
