EWSN 2009 Call for Posters/Demos

The 6th European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks

February 11th-13th, Cork, Ireland

HYPERLINK "http://www.ewsn.org/%22http://www.ewsn.org/

============================================================================

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describing original, previously unpublished research results, are sought.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.
