============================================================================ IWSNE 2009 Call for Papers The 2nd International Workshop on Sensor Network Engineering (IWSNE'09) co-located with the 5th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Distributed Computing In Sensor Systems (DCOSS'09), June 8th-10th (workshop day: June 10th), Marina Del Rey, CA, USA http://www.itm.uni-luebeck.de/events/iwsne09/ ============================================================================

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are heterogeneous networks that comprise tiny, resource-constraint sensor nodes, gateways and backend systems. Embedded into the environment, sensor nodes measure ambient parameters such as temperature, motion, etc. and gateways provide the integration with traditional networks while backend systems process and visualize received data. Application development for WSNs is complex as it unites the challenges of distributed applications and embedded programming. In addition, heterogeneity, unpredictable environmental influences and the size of the networks further complicate this situation.

To master these issues, an engineering approach to all phases of a sensor network's life cycle is necessary. Developers and application providers require powerful development support including IDEs as well as debugging, simulation and visualization tools to develop, test, optimize, and deploy their algorithms, applications and protocols. Today, many of these issues are still unsolved; at least an integrated approach is missing.

Particular topics of interest for papers to be submitted include, but are not limited to:

* Hardware and software platforms * Analysis and design support * Middleware approaches * Simulation and testing environments * Deployment support * Integrated approaches * User-oriented approaches * Integration of multiple and hybrid sensor networks * New architectures
