                              Call For Papers
                       To be held in conjunction with
   The 29th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN 2004)
                  16th-18th November 2004, Tampa, Florida
                 (Please also visit http://www.ieeelcn.org)


             Keynote Speaker: Professor Daniela Rus, CSAIL, MIT

   The  First  Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNetS) will bring
   together  researchers working in the broad area of embedded, networked
   sensors.   The  goal  of  the  workshop  is  to promote community-wide
   discussion  of  nascent but innovative ideas, spanning a wide spectrum
   of  technical  issues  in the area of sensor networks. We particularly
   encourage submissions exploring how  practical considerations or novel
   application  scenarios  and  requirements  shape  the  design of these
   sensor networks.

   Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
     * Algorithms, protocols and systems for communication, coordination,
       data    dissemination    and    storage,    sensor   tasking   and
       control/actuation
     * Energy  and  resource  management,  sharing,  quality  of service,
       operating system support for sensor networks.
     * Experimental  and  measurement  tools and results from operational
       sensor networks
     * Sensor network deployment and management, traffic engineering, and
       real-world experience
     * Reliability and fault-tolerance, debugging and troubleshooting for
       sensor networks
     * Novel applications for sensor networks
     * Sensor network security, vulnerabilities and defenses
     * Programmable architectures and infrastructure for sensor networks
     * Lessons  about  scalability  and  energy-efficiency,  insights and
       models of the structure and behavior of sensor networks

   Papers  will  be  selected based on their originality, technical merit
   and  topical  relevance. Submission instructions will be posted at the
   workshop website.
   Important Dates (Proposed):
     * Submissions due: 1 June 2004
     * Notification of Acceptance:  28 July 2004
     * Camera-ready copy due:  25 August 2004
     * Author registration deadline:  20 August 2004
     * Workshop: 16 November 2004

   Paper Submission Instructions:

   Authors are invited to submit full or short papers for presentation at
   the  workshop.  Full  papers  (no more than 8 camera-ready pages, 10pt
   font  in  IEEE  format)  should  present novel perspectives within the
   general  scope  of  the  workshop.  Short papers are an opportunity to
   present   preliminary   or  interim  results  and  are  limited  to  2
   camera-ready  pages  in  length.  Short  papers will be presented in a
   poster  format  and published in the proceedings. Only original papers
   that  have  not  been published or submitted for publication elsewhere
   can  be  submitted.  Papers  in  excess  of  page  limits shall not be
   considered  for  review or publication. All papers must include title,
   complete  contact  information for all authors, abstract, and keywords
   on   the   cover  page.  The  corresponding  author  must  be  clearly
   identified.

   Authors  are required to submit their papers through the EDAS web site
   http://www.edas.info/ in three steps:
     * Creation of a personal account on EDAS (if you are new to EDAS).
     * Registration of the paper (requiring a short abstract of up to 150
       words).
     * Upload of the paper, in PDF format only.

   Authors  can  always  re-upload their manuscripts before the deadline.
   The new uploaded manuscript will overwrite the existing one.
   An example paper template can be found here.
   Paper acceptance system will be open from 1st April 2004.
   For   help   with   EDAS   please   contact   the  EDAS  Administrator
   (edas-help@edas.info).

   The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be
   presented  at  the  conference.  At  least one author of each accepted
   paper must be registered for the workshop by August 20, 2004, in order
   for  that  paper  to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for
   presentation.
