Subject and Purpose of the Workshop

We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which

make it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods of time the physical environment and

to collect the relevant data. For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete

isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the

data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to

activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic

code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network

infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the

global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many

questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become

effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it

more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes

(or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor

network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain

physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very

important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and

challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers,

academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless

sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions.

Topics

Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to

other networks, including but not limited to:

- Interconnection architecture aspects

- Authentication and security issues

- Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN

- Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks

- Information processing

- Routing protocols for cross networks

- Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks

- Testeds for integrated networks

- Middlewares

- Integrated applications and services for cross networks

- Sensor tasking, control, and actuation

- Distributed query processing

- Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond

- In-network processing and aggregation

- Connectivity & longevity

- Location and time services

- Integration of sensor networks and web-based services
