Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. =================================================== Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2008) http://cone.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/wewsn08/ In conjuction with DCOSS 2008 Santorini Island, Greece, June 11-14 ===================================================

A typical wireless sensor network is expected to work without human intervention for a long time period. Hence, energy is of paramount importance in wireless sensor networks in order to achieve maximum network lifetime. Due to the energy constraint of sensor devices, wireless sensor network necessitates an energy-aware design to ensure the longevity of the network. While most wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices, new technologies like energy harvesting have been emerging and getting much attention in the research community recently. In addition, each layer of the protocol stack can employ various techniques to conserve energy while the hardware designs of motes can focus on extending its lifetime. This workshop intends to bring together the researchers working on energy-related issues in wireless sensor network.

WEWSN will be held as a one-day workshop in conjuction with DCOSS '08, co-locating with several related workshops on special topics, including the Workshop on Localized Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (LOCALGOS), the Workshop on Information Theory for Sensor Networks (WITS), the Workshop on Sensor Network Engineering (IWSNE), the Workshop on Wireless Sensor Network Deployments (WiDeploy). Therefore, the workshop aims at providing an ideal venue for researchers to share their ideas and discuss their latest research works.

SCOPE

Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research related to energy in wireless sensor network. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following featured topics:

* Architectures for energy management * Node deployment * Sleep management algorithms * Coverage and connectivity algorithms * Energy models, conservation, optimization * Energy and bandwidth efficient distributed signal processing algorithms * Topology control * Routing algorithm, data collection, congestion control, resource management * Energy scavenging, energy harvesting * Medium access control, error control protocols * Traffic management protocol * Energy-efficient system services (e.g. localization, time synchronization) * WSN hardware and operating systems

PAPER SUBMISSIONS

We only accept original papers that have neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions have to conform to the IEEE-Transactions format and should not exceed 7 pages. All submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair. The use of LATEX typesetting is highly recommended. It is your responsibility to make sure that the manuscript is free of printing problem. At least one of the author(s) of each accepted paper must attend the workshop and present the paper.
