Call For Papers - CFP
The SENSORCOMM 2009 (The Third International Conference on Sensor Technologies and Applications) is a multi-track event covering related topics on theory and practice on wired and wireless sensors and sensor networks. Sensors and sensor networks have become a highly active research area because of their potential of providing diverse services to broad range of applications, not only on science and engineering, but equally importantly on issues related to critical infrastructure protection and security, health care, the environment, energy, food safety, and the potential impact on the quality of all areas of life.Sensor networks and sensor-based systems support many applications today on the ground. Underwater operations and applications are quite limited by comparison. Most applications refer to remotely controlled submersibles and wide-area data collection systems at a coarse granularity.Underwater sensor networks have many potential applications such a seismic imaging of undersea oilfields as a representative application. Oceanographic research is also based on the advances in underwater data collection systems.There are specific technical aspects to realize underwater applications which can not be borrowed from the ground-based sensors net research. Radio is not suitable for underwater systems because of extremely limited propagation. Acoustic telemetry could be used in underwater communication; however off-the-shelf acoustic modems are not recommended for underwater sensor networks with hundreds of nodes because they were designed for long-range and expensive. As the speed of light (radio) is five orders of magnitude higher than the speed of sound, there are fundamental implications of time synchronization and propagation delays for localization. Additionally, existing communication protocols are not designed to deal with long sleep times and they can't shut down and quickly restart.In wireless sensor and micro-sensor networks energy consumption is a key factor for the sensor lifetime and accuracy of information. Protocols and mechanisms have been proposed for energy optimization considering various communication factors and types of applications. Conserving energy and optimizing energy consumption are challenges in wireless sensor networks, requiring energy-adaptive protocols, self-organization, and balanced forwarding mechanisms.As a multi-track event, SENSORCOMM 2009 will serve as a forum for researchers from the academia and the industry, professionals, standard developers, policy makers and practitioners to exchange ideas. The topics could be on techniques and applications, best practices, awareness and experiences as well as future trends and needs (both in research and practices) related to all aspects of information security, security systems and technologies.The conference has the following independents tracks:APASN: Architectures, protocols and algorithms of sensor networks MECSN: Energy, management and control of sensor networks RASQOFT: Resource allocation, services, QoS and fault tolerance in sensor networks PESMOSN: Performance, simulation and modelling of sensor networks SEMOSN: Security and monitoring of sensor networks SECSED: Sensor circuits and sensor devices RIWISN: Radio issues in wireless sensor networks SAPSN: Software, applications and programming of sensor networks DAIPSN: Data allocation and information in sensor networks DISN: Deployments and implementations of sensor networks UNWAT: Under water sensors and systems ENOPT: Energy optimization in wireless sensor networks We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, implementations, running experiments and applications. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas. Industrial presentations are not subject to these constraints. Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following tracks in sensor networks:APASN: Architectures, Protocols and Algorithms of Sensor NetworksNetwork planning, provisioning and deployment Network Architectures for Sensor NetworksNetwork Protocols for Sensor NetworksStructural designDistributed Sensor Networks Dynamic sensor networksScalable and heterogeneous architectures Hierarchical clustering architecturesGroup-based ArchitecturesNetwork topologiesMesh networking Device centric sensor networks Distributed coordination algorithmsTopology constructionRouting protocols Routing Metrics Distributed Algorithms Attribute-based named nets.
