Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSN), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSAN are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSAN, WSN, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: · Autonomous sensor networks · Emergent behavior in WSAN · Modeling and simulation of WSAN · WSAN architectural and operational models · Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication · Sensor-/actor (robot)- actor coordination and actor task assignment · Biologically inspired communication · Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols · Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols · Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) · Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing · Distributed control and management in WSAN · Neighborhood discovery and mobility management · Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots · Localization and time synchronization and in WSAN · Quality of Service, security and robustness issues · Architectures and topology control · Probabilistic integration in WSAN · Hybrid networks and wireless Internet · Ecological systems · Applications and prototypes Accepted papers with a FULL registration to the main conference will be included in the conference proceedings. No-shows of accepted papers at the workshop will result in those papers NOT being included in the IEEE CPS and included in MASS proceedings. Thus, all papers will be EI-indexed, and be found by IEEE Explore. Selected best papers will be invited to a special issue of Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks (SCIE-indexed). IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission: June 26th, 2011 Author notification: July 22th, 2011 Final manuscript due: August 12th, 2011 General Chair: Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Ottawa, Canada Program Co-Chairs: Jiming Chen, Zhejiang University, China Hannes Frey, Univerity of Paderburn, Germany Nathalie Mitton, INRIA, France Submission Chair: Rafael Falcon, University of Ottawa, Canada Publicity Co-Chairs: Mianxiong Dong, University of Aizu, Japan Antoine Gallais, University of Strasbourg, France Hangguan Shan, Zhejiang University, China For further information, please refer to the above WiSARN-Fall 2011 website, or contact the program co-chairs: Dr. Jiming Chen at jmchen.zju@gmail.com Dr. Hannes Frey at hannes.frey@uni-paderborn.de Dr. Xu Li at easylix@gmail.com_____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
