============================================================================ EWSN 2009 Call for Posters/Demos 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, 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.

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

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

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.
