Scope of EWSN 2005:
===================

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are fast emerging as a new sensing
paradigm based on the collaborative effort of large number of sensors
deployed close to or inside the phenomenon to be observed, and have
the potential of providing diverse services to numerous applications.
The realization of WSNs require intensive technical research efforts
especially on energy efficient scalable wireless ad hoc communication
protocols due to their unusual application requirements and unique
constraints. Additionally, WSNs are further evolving from simple data
transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems such
that the tasks of event sensing and acting upon the phenomenon can be
collectively realized in an autonomous manner by sensor and actuator
nodes.

The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from
different backgrounds ranging 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: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna
  design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing,
  battery technology, energy scavenging

* Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and
  transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation,
  and mobility support; gateways to fixed Internet; providing
  functionalities like localization and synchronization

* Source coding techniques appropriate for WSN to support data fusion

* Middleware for WSN: 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: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols,
  secure system engineering

* Applications of WSN: 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: novel sensor node
  prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds

* Modeling of WSN: models for WSN load/applications, mobility or
  channel models
