CALL FOR PAPERS

SenMetrics 2005

Third International Workshop on Measurement, Modeling, 
and Performance Analysis of Wireless Sensor Networks 

San Diego, CA, USA
July 21, 2005

(in conjunction with MobiQuitous 2005)

http://www.senmetrics.org/
E-mail: senmetrics@ece.osu.edu


The SenMetrics workshop solicits papers on the development 
and application of analytic, simulation, prototype testbed, 
and measurement-based performance evaluation techniques to 
the area of wireless sensor networks. Of particular interest 
is work that furthers the state-of-the-art in performance 
evaluation methods, or those that creatively apply 
previously developed methods to understand or to gain 
important insights into key design trade-offs in wireless 
sensor networks. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 
Performance-oriented design and evaluation studies of:
- wireless sensor networks
- sensor node hardware and software architectures
- data collection
- addressing 
- security, reliability, and robustness
- operating systems
- energy aware network protocols
- applications
- localization
- fundamental limits and tradeoffs
- topology management
- deployment
- distributed actuation and control
- system development and testbed experience
- benchmarks

Performance methodology techniques and algorithms for: 
- system, protocol, and algorithm modeling
- analytic evaluation
- system measurement and monitoring
- model verification and validation
- workload characterization
- simulation
- statistical analysis
- stochastic modeling 
- experimental design
- reliability analysis
- performance optimization


IMPORTANT DATES:

Paper Submission Deadline: April 15, 2005
Notification of Acceptance: June 1, 2005
Camera Ready Paper Due: June 15, 2005

PAPERS:

Authors are invited to submit for review, papers that 
neither have been previously published nor are under review 
by another conference or journal. Priority will be given to 
original contributions describing recent and innovative 
research results or developments in the scope of the workshop. 

Papers must be written in English, using font no smaller than 
10 points and not to exceed 10 pages. Only PDF and PostScript 
formats will be accepted, and all submissions will be handled 
electronically. Further details on submission procedures will
