CALL FOR PAPERS

Wireless sensor networks are expected to be the basic building block of pervasive computing environments. Aggregating sensor nodes into sophisticated sensing, computational and communication infrastructures to form wireless sensor networks will have a significant impact on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to health-care, to domestic, establishing ubiquitous computing that will pervade society redefining the way in which we live and work.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together the main researchers working on different aspects of sensor networking for supporting pervasive computing environments. This is a very challenging task, as it involves several technological issues (sensor architectures, efficient networking protocol design, power management, security and dependability, etc.), as well as the socio-economic aspects related to the introduction of such novel paradigms and their benefits for the community. The objective of the workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers both from the 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.

Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Maximum length: 6 pages. Papers must be prepared using the template available at the following page: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting/

All submissions will be handled via EDAS. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2013 workshops proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to PerCom 2013 (there is no workshop-only registration) and attend the workshop to present the paper. 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.
