The Sixth IEEE PerCom International Workshop on Sensor Networks and Systems for Pervasive Computing (PerSeNS 2010)

http://www2.ing.unipi.it/persens

in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2010 (http://www.percom.org/) March 29-April 2, 2010 Mannheim, Germany

---------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS

Wireless sensor networks collect sensing measurements or detect special events, perform node-level processing, and export the combined data from their sensing nodes to the outside world. Sensing, processing and communication are three key elements whose combination in one small device is instrumental to pervasive computing and gives rise to countless applications.

This workshop will provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers and professionals from industry and academia.

Papers describing original research on both theoretical and practical aspects of sensor networks for pervasive computing are solicited. We particularly welcome submissions that present implementation and deployment results. Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Sensor-based systems and applications - Operating systems for Sensor Networks - Middleware and software tools - Networking architectures and protocols - Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination - Topology control - Power Management and energy-efficient design - Time synchronization - Location management - Sensor networks with mobile elements - Cross-layer architectures - Intelligent sensor nodes - Security and dependability issues - Modeling and performance evaluation - Measurements

PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers should contain original material and not be previously published or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines . The link for the templates can be found at: http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/menuitem.02df7cde46985ea21618fc2e6...

All submissions will be handled via EDAS. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2010 Workshops Proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the paper. There is no workshop-only registration. An oral presentation at the workshop is strictly required. Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from the Proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore.
