Second IEEE International Workshop on Sensor Networks and Systems for
Pervasive Computing (PerSeNS 2006)
http://www.ing.unipi.it/persens2006/
March 13, 2006 - Pisa, Italy
in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2006 (http://www.percom.org/)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
Wireless sensor networks are expected to be the basic building block of
pervasive computing environments. Aggregating sensor nodes into
sophisticated sensing, computational and communication infrastructures to
form wireless sensor networks will have a significant impact on a wide array
of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to
health-care, to domestic, establishing ubiquitous computing that will
pervade society and redefine the way in which we live and work.The goal of
this workshop is to provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss solutions,
and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and application
developers both from industry and academia. Original papers addressing both
theoretical and practical aspects of sensor networks are solicited. Papers
describing prototype implementations and deployment of sensor networks and
systems are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not
limited to:
- Sensor-based systems and applications
- Operating systems
- Middleware and software tools
- Networking architectures and protocols
- Location and mobility management
- Topology control and time synchronization
- Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination
- Intelligent sensors
- Power Management and energy-efficient design
- Cross-layer architectures
- Security and dependability issues
- Modeling and performance evaluation
- Measurements
PAPER SUBMISSION
Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or
currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must be limited
to 5 pages in IEEE 8.5x11 conference format, and formatted in accordance
with the IEEE Computer Society author guidelines
(ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/INSTRUCT.HTM). All
submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF
file and submit it to persens2006 at ing.unipi.it. Accepted papers will be
published by the IEEE Computer Society in the combined PerCom 2006 workshop
proceedings.
