Call for Papers

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) can eliminate/reduce human intervention and provide

fully-automated data gathering systems for numerous applications. However, WSNs may

operate in inhospitable environments and become prone to sensor failures which not only

can degrade the quality of coverage but also disrupt the data traffic. To address such a

problem, most approaches in the literature deploy redundant nodes during network setup

and reconfigure the network topology to establish alternate data paths. However,

sometimes the network suffers a large scale damage that involves many nodes and would

thus create multiple disjoint partitions. For these cases, a provisioned approach for

tolerating occasional failures at the network design level will not be effective. A similar

scenario happens when an application can be leveraged by engaging a number of

standalone WSNs. For example, the disaster response may involve collaboration among

multiple governmental agencies and may need to combine the services of their

autonomously-operating WSNs in the search-and-rescue process.

Connecting such multiple WSNs or partitions of a damaged WSN is referred to as

federation and these networks are called Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS).

The purpose of this workshop is to establish a platform to exchange ideas among

researchers for creation, operation and management of FedSenS involving various

heterogeneous sensor and gateway nodes.

Topics of Interest

Original, unpublished and unsubmitted work is sought in terms of algorithms, techniques,

architectures, position papers, visionary approaches and modeling to deploy and maintain

FedSenS. The workshop program invites papers on various aspects of the FedSenS

including, but not limited to, the following:

? Self-federation using existing resources and node mobility

? Federation through relay node placement

? Distributed technique for detecting network partitioning

? Area coverage and network connectivity trade-offs

? Service oriented federation models

? Delay-constrained reliable data communication in FedSenS

? Topology control for improved QoS (i.e., delay or reliability)

2

? Sensor data correlation and fusion in FedSenS

? Reliable federated storage and querying of sensor data

? Handling uncertainties through federation

? Interoperability issues

? Security and privacy issues in data sharing

? Military and civilian security applications for FedSenS

? Performance evaluation and testbeds for FedSenS
