Call For Papers - CFP

Thanks to wireless sensor networks, pervasive computing environments are

becoming a reality. Wireless sensor networks are aggregates of sensor

nodes into

sophisticated sensing, computational and communication infrastructures.

These

new networks are having a significant impact (and promises to have even

more) 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 and experimental 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

- Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination

- Topology control

- Power management and energy-efficient design

- Time synchronization

- Location management

- Sensor networks with mobile elements

- Cross-layer architectures

- Intelligent sensor nodes

- Security and dependability issues

- Modelling 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

6 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 via EDAS. Accepted papers will be

published by

the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom 2009 workshops

proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must register

and attend

the workshop to present the paper.
