Call for Papers  
Second IEEE/CreateNet Workshop on Broadband Advanced Sensor Networks
(BaseNets 2005)
October 3rd, 2005
Boston, MA, USA

Keynote Speaker:
Prof. Gregory Pottie, UCLA

Scope

The emergence and adoption of broadband wireless access standards, such
as 802.16, 802.16a and 802.11a/g, offers exciting new possibilities for
high-bandwidth data communication over the "last mile". A significant
use of such high bandwidth may lie in the use of a variety of multimodal
sensors for monitoring and control of diverse geographic areas. Such
sensors may be used for remote video/audio surveillance and active
monitoring of telemetry data in city blocks, highways, airports, hotels,
campuses and a variety of other indoor and outdoor environments.

Building on the success of BaseNetS 2004, this workshop is intended for
the presentation and discussion of novel architectures, algorithms and
applications of sensor networks based on the use of wireless broadband
channels. Areas of interest include problems related to energy
efficiency, dynamic control and reliability of such sensor network
deployments, especially under the expected resource constraints on the
sensor devices. Of
particular interest are visions, practical case studies, demonstrations
or pilots of innovative techniques for building sensor networks using
either broadband local or metropolitan wireless networks.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:


Multimedia Interfaces for Wireless Sensors 
Broadband vs. Narrowband Wireless Sensing 
Video and Audio Sensing Applications over Broadband Networks 
Distributed Multimedia Compression/Aggregation for Broadband Sensor
Networks 
Scalability and Performance Bottlenecks for Wide-Area Broadband Sensing 
Adaptive Configuration of Broadband Sensor Networks 
Programmable Architectures and Middleware for Broadband Sensor Networks 
Power and Spectrum Management Issues for Broadband Sensing 
Architectures for Broadband Sensor Networks 
Applications of Wireless Broadband Sensor Networks 
Security and Privacy for Broadband Sensor Networks 
Broadband Sensor Networks with Mobile Nodes 
Heterogeneous Wired-Wireless Broadband Sensor Networks 



Submission

Papers should be written in English, should not exceed 20
double-spaced, single-column pages, including figures and references,
and should include an abstract, not to exceed 250 words.  Papers
should be submitted in PDF format via the EDAS system
(http://edas.info). All papers will be peer reviewed.

The best papers of this workshop will be considered for possible
publication in the ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks
(http://www.acm.org/tosn/).
