[SenseApp 2011] IEEE International Workshop on Practical Issues in Building Sensor Network Applications

SENSEAPP 2011

SIXTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN 

BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS

(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2011)

Bonn, Germany

4 - 7 October 2011

CALL FOR PAPERS

Sensor nodes are autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. 

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications

Innovative sensor network applications

Participatory sensing

Middleware support for sensor networks

Programming and debugging sensor networks

Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks

Experiences with new sensor hardware

Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization

Experiences with communication protocols

Practical medium access control protocols (MACs)

Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments

Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks

Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation

Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime

Configuration and installation support

Management of large-scale sensor networks

Interconnection between IP and sensor networks

Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library.
