[Apologies if you received multiple copies of this call for papers] =================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ***** EXTENDED DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 1, 2008 ***** ===================================================================

The 2008 International Workshop on Adaptation in Wireless Sensor Networks (AWSN-08) http://tweb.ing.unipi.it/awsn08

to be held in conjunction with The 2008 International Conference on Intelligent Pervasive Computing (IPC-08) (http://ipc2008.he.nias.ac.jp/) Sydney, Australia, December 10-12, 2008

Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society =================================================================== Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are networked embedded systems that rely on wireless communication. WSNs are supposed to run long-lived applications. During operation, applications are likely to experience unpredictable environment conditions that require to dynamically change their behavior. With current reprogramming technology, such an adaptation is still an open issue, as it can be achieved either at the expense of significant energy consumption or through software complexity. The challenge is to achieve WSN systems that not only embed intelligence into environments, but also have embedded intelligence for reprogramming themselves after their deployment.

The workshop aims at stimulating researchers and practitioners in embedded software, autonomic computing, ad-hoc networking and all other relevant areas to present their ideas and work in progress for advancing the technologies that enable adaptive WSN applications. The expected number of participants will be 15.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Re-programming techniques * Self-healing, self-protection, self-configuration,self-optimization * Intelligent power management and coverage * Virtual machines * Opportunistic computing * Adaptive networking protocols * Viral programming * Security * Design and deployment of adaptive applications

PAPER SUBMISSION The program committee encourage original, high-quality submissions from researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. All papers will be reviewed according to their originality, significance, correctness, presentation and relevance. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society in the combined IPC 2008 workshops proceedings. Please follow the submission instructions that will be made available at the workshop's website.
