Call for Papers

The Fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks

16-17 December, 2010
Colombo, Sri Lanka
http://www.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk/realwsn10/

We are excited to announce that the fourth Workshop on Real-World
Wireless Sensor will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in December 2010.

The purpose of the fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor
Networks is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in
the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or
deployments of wireless sensor networks.

When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new
issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of
different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network
structures; software development for large scale networks poses new
types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from
the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a
complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore,
results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable
to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community
to produce results from experimental research.

Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 9 or
10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be
selected based on originality, technical merit and relevance.

Note that we will organize a poster and demo session as well.
The deadline will be in the middle of September.

All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of
interest, including but not limited to:
* Experiences with real-world deployments
* Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation
results obtained by others
* Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management
* Debugging, testing, and management
* Deployment and configuration
* Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental
monitoring, etc.
* Security and trust
* Scalability in practice
* Development and prototyping platforms
* Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages
* Middleware for heterogeneous networks
* Real-time and dependability issues
* Hardware support for real-world sensor networks
* Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware
* Energy efficient protocols
* Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling
