The 1st International Workshop on RFID and Ubiquitous Sensor Networks
(USN¡¯2005)

Nagasaki, Japan, December 6-9, 2005

http://resl.icu.ac.kr/~usn2005/

In conjunction with the 2005 International Conference on Embedded and
Ubiquitous Computing (EUC¡¯2005)

http://euc2005.he.nias.ac.jp/

 

Submission deadline:  June 15, 2005

Notification of acceptance: August 15, 2005

Camera-ready due: September 15, 2005

Workshop:  December 6-9, 2005

 

In the emerging era of ubiquitous computing, networked small embedded
devices with sensing capabilities will play a key role. Small enough to
guarantee the pervasiveness in this ubiquitous world, sensor devices
associate creating networks that provide valuable information to be
exploited for a great variety of sensor applications. Yet its intensive
research during the last a few years, the consideration of this everywhere,
anytime presence adds new challenges, thus keeping the topic of sensor
networks on the center of the embedded systems investigation.

At the same time, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) shows a great
potential on market penetration to address present automatic object
identification systems, and its technologies entail already a success for
the industry with some field applications across the Globe. However,
numerous questions regarding their real implementation, capability,
performance, reliability, economy and integration with other technologies
remain to be answered.

The purpose of USN 2005 is to establish a discussion framework on all the
challenges raised from the evolution of the Ubiquitous Sensor Networks and
RFID technologies. As a unique opportunity to obtain an insight on the
leading technologies of the next pervasive era, USN 2005 wants to collect
the visions from the community to address important related issues and
invite researchers to present and discuss their ideas. Topics of this
workshop include, but are not limited to:

 

Issues in Ubiquitous Sensor Networks

•            Sensor Network Architectures and Protocols
•            Distributed Coordination Algorithms (e.g., localization, time synchronization,
             clustering, topology control, deployment etc.)
•            Sensor Network Middleware
•            Sensor Operating Systems
•            QoS and Real-Time issues in sensor networks
•            Sensor Networks Privacy and Security


Issues in RFID

•            Anti-collision algorithms
•            Standardization issues
•            State of the art reader and system architecture
•            Smart Active Labels
•            Next-generation and new paradigm RFID technologies

 

Common issues in RFID & USN

•            Coexistence of RFID & USN
•            Middleware and Software tools
•            Power management and energy-efficient design
•            Security and privacy issues
•            Modeling and Performance Evaluation
•            Measurements, operational experience, and testbeds
•            Applications

papers in the LNCS format; templates can be found at Springer-Verlag
website.

 

 Authors are requested to submit an electronic version of their manuscripts
through EDAS according to the stated submission deadline. Submission implies
the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the
paper.
