Computing (EUC 2009)

Vancouver, Canada, August 29-31, 2009

CALL FOR PAPERS

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are networked embedded systems that rely

on wireless communication. WSNs are supposed to run long-lived

applications. During operation, applications are likely to experience

unpredictable environment conditions that require to dynamically change

their behavior. With current reprogramming technology, such an

adaptation is still an open issue, as it can be achieved either at the

expense of significant energy consumption or through software

complexity. The challenge is to achieve WSN systems that not only embed

intelligence into environments, but also have embedded intelligence for

reprogramming themselves after their deployment.

The workshop aims at stimulating researchers and practitioners in

embedded and ubiquitous computing, autonomic computing, ad-hoc

networking and all other relevant areas to present their ideas and work

in progress for advancing the technologies that enable adaptive WSN

applications.

* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Re-configurable, adaptive applications

* Context-awareness

* Self-healing, self-protection, self-configuration, self-optimization

* Agents and distributed computing

* Embedded Virtual machines

* Viral programming

* Opportunistic computing

* Intelligent power management and coverage

* Adaptive wireless communication and networks

* Security and fault-tolerance

PAPER SUBMISSION

The program committee encourage original, high-quality submissions from

researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. All papers

will be reviewed according to their originality, significance,

correctness, presentation and relevance.

Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.

Please follow the submission instructions that will be made available at

the workshop's website.
