Scope


 Wireless sensor networks (WSN) - networks of tiny, autonomous devices 
equipped with wireless communication - are a topic of active research in a 
number of different research communities, ranging from hardware to 
applications. WSNs are characterized by a need to carefully integrate 
functionalities traditionally considered to be separate in order to achieve 
maximum efficiency. Hence, a close interaction of research from different 
backgrounds is required. Additionally, WSNs are evolving from simple data 
transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems, e.g., 
because actuators in the network have to be supported. The goal of this 
workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds, from 
hardware to applications, to create a forum where cross-layer integration, 
novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN 
functionalities can be discussed. 


We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of 
interest include, but are not limited to: 
 
- Hardware for WSN, e.g.: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna
design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing, battery
technology, energy scavenging
- Communication protocols, e.g.: MAC and link layer problems; routing and
transport protocols suitable for WSN, redundancy, aggregation support, and
mobility support; gateways to fixed Internet; supporting functionalities
like locationing and synchronization
 - Source coding techniques appropriate for WSN, e.g., to support data
fusion 
 - Middleware for WSN, e.g.: Configuration and installation support, lookup
of available functionalities, group communication, distributed algorithms in
WSN, harmonizing node-centric and data-centric addressing, integrating WSN
in middleware architectures like .NET
 - Security, e.g.: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols,
secure system engineering
 - Applications of WSN, e.g.: novel applications and their requirements such
as medicine, environment control, etc.; experiences with real-world
applications
 - What part will WSNs play in realizing the visions of ubiquitous computing
& communication and Ambient Intelligence?
 - Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds, e.g.: novel sensor node
prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds
 - Modeling of WSN, e.g.: models for WSN- load/applications, mobility or
channel models
