---------------------------------------------------------------

In recent few years, various types of sensor networks have been
deployed at many places and information generated by sensors has
increased rapidly. Thus, we are in a time which we could call the "information-explosion era."
In the information-explosion era, establishing new techniques for
both data processing and communication in Wireless Sensor Networks
(WSNs) is a crucial and challenging issue.

This workshop (SeNTIE 2009) aims to provide a platform for discussing
open issues, current challenges and solutions, as well as directions
for future research on data processing and communication techniques of
WSNs in the information-explosion era. The workshop intends to bring
together researches and practitioners in a broad range of topics
related to WSNs in both theoretical and practical experience aspects.

---------------------------------------------------------------

TOPICS:
- Data processing in WSNs
- Data aggregation in WSNs
- Query processing and routing in WSNs
- Applications of data intensive sensor networks
- Routing protocol in WSNs
- Efficient deployment of large-scale WSNs
- Managing intensive data streams over sensor networks
- Handling inaccuracy, unreliability and data loss
- Energy and time efficient data delivery
- Mobile sensor networks
- Cross layer approach in WSNs
- Application-driven sensor data interrogation
- Semantic descriptions of sensors and sensor data
- Sharing, annotation, and (distributed) management of sensor data
- Data mining and warehousing in WSNs

---------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT DATES:
- Paper submission: January 5(Mon), 2009
- Notification of acceptance: February 16(Mon), 2009
- Camera-ready due: March 15(Sun), 2009
