SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES

The 2nd International Workshop on Distributed Collaborative Sensors

Networks aims at providing opportunities to present the most recent

advances and future challenges in the field of distributed, wireless

and mobile communications in sensors networks, as they relate to

collaboration.

Wireless Sensors Networks constitute a significant current technology,

attracting considerable research interest from various disciplines.

Indeed, the wireless sensor technology is employed in emerging areas

with high potential for scientific research, being

used for biomedical,environmental or industrial applications. These

applications generally require intelligent dense environment monitoring

which generates important data volumes.

Data collection and analysis need to deal with cooperation and

coordination topics in order to prolong network lifetime and to provide

useful, synthesized information for automation, decision making and

support. Topology control, by means of clusters or groups, is another

applied technique to overcome these challenging problems.

The 2nd International Workshop on Distributed Collaborative Sensors

Networks will focus on the research of developing collaboration

infrastructures and solutions in the context of

wireless sensors networks, aiming to bring together researchers and

practitioners in these fields. In addition, the workshop will highlight

recent innovative research results which will

strengthen the formal foundation of this emerging area. This workshop

isto be held as part of the 2009 International Symposium on

Collaborative Technologies and Systems (CTS09).

Topics of Interest include (but are not limited to):

? Data and Resource Sharing in Sensors Networks

? Collaborative Data Management on Large Scale

? Distributed Sensors Architectures

? Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks

? Interfacing with Wireless/Mobile Systems

? Routing and Data Transport in Wireless Sensor Networks

? Group Collaboration in Sensor Networks

? Visualization Techniques and Visual Languages for Collaborative Sensor

Networks

? Multi-sensor Data Fusion

? Methods for Ad Hoc Deployment

? Algorithms for Sensor Localization and Tracking of Mobile Users

? Energy Issues and In-Situ Calibration Methods

? Performance Evaluation of Distributed Sensor Networks

? Trust and Security Issues in Distributed Collaborative Sensor Systems

? Intelligent Sensor Technologies and Applications

? Applications Enabled by Collaborative Sensor Network Architectures

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

We invite papers reporting original and unpublished research work on

above and any other

related topics from researchers in academia and industry. Submission

should include a cover

page with authors' names, affiliations, addresses, fax and phone

numbers, and email

addresses. Include also an abstract of no more than 300 words along with

a short list of

keywords.

Please submit an electronic copy of your full draft manuscript (not

exceeding 10 pages in

IEEE format, single-spaced, double-column, including figures, tables and

references).

Electronic submissions will be accepted only in PDF format, sent by

email to the organizers.

Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements will be posted

on the Symposium's

web site later. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of

the authors to register and

present the paper, if accepted. All accepted papers are required to be

presented and will be

included in the conference proceedings.

All submitted papers and posters will be rigorously reviewed by at least

three of the technical

program committee members and the reviewers they invite. Papers will be

selected based on

their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of

presentation. Initial

selection will be based on full papers.

The selected papers will be published in the CTS 2009 proceedings which

is expected to be

included in the IEEE Xplore.
