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.
