Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a topic of active research in different areas, ranging from electronics, to communications and computer science. WSNs are characterized by the need to carefully integrate functions traditionally considered to be separate, in order to achieve maximum efficiency, especially with respect to energy consumption and management. Hence, interaction of research from different backgrounds is required: expertise on hardware, middleware, communication protocols and application design, is needed. WSNs are evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems, also because actuators in the network have to be supported. Moreover, WSNs, traditionally designed as stand-alone networks, are now considered as part of larger heterogeneous systems having Wireless Wide or Local Area Networks as means to link the environment to applications and data repositories hosted by computers connected to the Internet. This conference intends to create a forum where researchers with different experience and background can discuss cross-layer approaches, novel solutions for specific problems and envisage the future development of WSN functionality. Works describing original, previously unpublished research results, are sought.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSNs * Physical Layer Techniques for WSNs * Communication Protocols * Operating Systems and Programming Abstractions * Middleware and Service Infrastructures * Information Processing * Security * Vertical Functionality * Novel Applications * Prototypes, Field Studies, and Testbeds

Either proposals of full papers, posters or demos can be submitted. Detailed instructions for paper formatting and paper submission are available on the conference Website.
