Scope of EWSN 2006: ===================

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) - networks of tiny, autonomous sensor devices equipped with wireless communication - are a topic of active research in a number of different research communities, ranging from hardware to applications. WSNs are characterized by a need to carefully integrate functionalities traditionally considered to be separate in order to achieve maximum efficiency, especially with respect to energy consumption and management. Hence, a close interaction of research from different backgrounds is required. Additionally, WSNs are evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems, e.g., because actuators in the network have to be supported.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds, from hardware to applications, to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed.

We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Hardware for WSN: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing, battery technology, energy scavenging, miniaturization

* Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation, mobility support, gateways to fixed Internet, providing functionalities like localization and synchronization

* Operating systems and programming abstractions: novel concepts and tools for programming and debugging sensor nodes, high-level programming abstractions

* Middleware and service infrastructures: configuration and installation support, lookup of available functionalities, group communication, QoS support, localization and synchronization services, integrating WSN in existing middleware architectures

* Information processing: querying, coding, compression, fusion, aggregation, event detection, classification, tracking

* Security: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols, secure system engineering

* Novel applications: requirements, experiences with real-world applications; the role of WSNs in realizing the visions of Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence

* Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds, debugging and testing

* Models: energy and resource consumption, applications, mobility, and communication

Submission Details: ===================

The workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by another conference or journal. We will adopt a double-blind review process, where the identities of the paper authors are withheld from the reviewers.

All submissions will be handled electronically via EDAS: http://edas.info

Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format. We require that they conform to the Springer-Verlag LNCS style (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). The length of the manuscript should not exceed 16 pages, including text, figures and references. Use of LATEX for typesetting is recommended.

The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series.
