CALL FOR PAPERS:

First Workshop on Global Sensor Networks (GSN 09)

Collocated with KiVS 09 in Kassel, Germany

http://ipvs.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/vs/gsn09

March 6th, 2009

WORKSHOP SCOPE

Global sensor networks (GSN) are an emergent research area aiming to

offer applications easy and efficient access to sensor data at the scale

of billions of sensing devices. While a single sensor network typically

provides access to information of a limited geographical area and

selected types of sensor data, a GSN provides an application with

uniform and transparent access to a multitude of individual sensor

networks that may be geographically dispersed, aggregating and

correlating different types of data as appropriate for the application.

The challenges imposed by global sensor networks are relevant to many

fields in computer communications and distributed systems such as sensor

networks, complex event and stream processing, pervasive computing, and

P2P overlays. This workshop intends to bring together researchers and

practitioners working in relevant fields in order to share ideas,

challenges and visions on Global Sensor Networks as well as to foster

new cooperation.

WORKSHOP TOPICS

GSN?09 is looking for contributions related but not limited to the

following list of topics in the domain of Global Sensor Networks:

- Sensor network protocols

- Complex event processing

- Distributed stream processing

- P2P overlays

- Middleware

- Security

- Query processing and optimization

- Quality of service

- Applications

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers should be submitted in PDF format via the workshop page.

Contributions may present

i) novel and possibly preliminary research results (full papers 12

pages, short papers 6 pages) ,

ii) position papers describing major challenges (6 pages),

iii) new trends from the industry (2 pages).

Each submission will be reviewed by three members of the program

committee and are selected according to their originality, quality,

and relevance to the workshop topics. Accepted papers will appear in

the KIVS Workshop proceedings. For accepted papers at least one author

must register with the workshop and give a presentation at the workshop.

Submissions must follow the KIVS formatting guidelines and must not

exceed the given page limits. Note that contributions in English as

well as in German are welcome.
