CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE COMPUTER SPECIAL ISSUE ON SENSOR NETWORKS

IEEE Computer seeks articles for a special issue on sensor networks, to appear in August 2004 . Guest editors are David Culler from the University of California, Berkeley, Mani Srivastava from the University of California, Los Angeles, and Deborah Estrin from the University of California, Los Angeles.

Distributed systems of embedded smart sensors and actuators promise unprecedented capabilities for the instrumentation and monitoring of the physical world including: temperature, vibration, air pressure, chemicals, even voice and video data. Proponents envision a host of novel applications for sensor networks, from earthquake structural failure analysis to rainforest habitat research. The small and many characteristics of sensor networks have fostered research in disciplines that have previously been focused on computing and networking at a much larger scale. This interest is driven by the vision that, like the Internet, large-scale distributed networks of sensors will pervade the world but at a physical, rather than virtual, level.

Computer 's special issue will focus on all aspects of the field: hardware, architectures, wireless communication, networking, middleware, application development, applications, and experience. There are opportunities for short and long papers, providing a forum for reporting on both early and mature research.

Topics of particular interest include sensor network architectures; sensor node hardware; networking; low-power protocols and services; distributed algorithms; data query, dissemination, routing, and fusion; novel applications and services; application development tools; and deployment experiences.

The deadline for papers is 16 February 2004. [Note: This new extended deadline is a hard deadline for us to meet the publishing schedule]

Send inquiries to the guest editors at culler@eecs.berkeley.edu ,mbs@ee.ucla.edu, and destrin@cs.ucla.edu . Submission guidelines are available at http://computer.org/computer/author.htm. Submit manuscripts via Manuscript Central at http://cs-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/.

Please forward this CFP to those who may be interested.
