============================================================================ EWSN 2009 Call for Papers The 6th European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks February 11th-13th, Cork, Ireland http://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,

emphasizing 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 centers 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 Submissions describing original, previously unpublished research results, are sought.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.

Chairs Utz Roedig, Lancaster University, UK Cormac Sreenan, University College Cork, Ireland

Important Dates, Full Papers Submission: Sept 17th 2008 Notification: Nov 10th 2008 Camera-ready: Nov 24th 2008

Important Dates, Posters and Demos Submission: Dec 1st 2008 Notification: Dec 15th 2008 Camera-ready: Jan 9th 2009

Full Papers (no more than 16 pages): This highly selective conference will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by any other conference or journal. We will adopt a double-blind review process, where authors' names and their affiliations must not be revealed or mentioned anywhere in the paper. All submissions will be handled electronically via EDAS. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and not exceed 16 pages, including text, figures

and references. We require that submissions conform to the Springer-Verlag LNCS style.

Posters and Demos (no more than 2 pages): The poster session will provide a forum for researchers to showcase their work and obtain feedback on ongoing research from knowledgeable conference attendees. A poster presentation can also be accompanied by a demonstration to illustrate an application, technology, or platform.

Submission guidelines and further information is available at http://www.ewsn.org.

The organizers can be contacted at ewsn09-chairs@cs.ucc.ie.
