**************************************************

As the field of wireless sensor networks matures, new design con-
cepts, experimental and theoretical findings, and applications
have continued to emerge at a rapid pace. Being one of the lead-
ing international conferences in this area, the European Confer-
ence on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN) has played a substantial
role in the dissemination of innovative ideas from researchers
all over the globe. For EWSN 2012, the ninth meeting in this se-
ries, we invite papers describing original, previously unpub-
lished research results pertaining to wireless sensor networks,
broadly conceived.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Hardware Design and Implementation
* Operating Systems
* Programming Abstractions and Tools
* Communication and Network Protocols
* Information and Signal Processing
* Security and Fault-Tolerance
* Prototypes, Field Experiments, Testbeds
* Fundamental Theoretical Limits and Algorithms
* Novel Applications
* Cooperating Objects and their Applications

PAPER SUBMISSION

This highly selective conference will only accept for review
original papers that have not been previously published and are
not currently under review by any other conference or journal.
We will adopt a double-blind review process, where the names of
authors and their affiliations are unknown to reviewers until the
end of the review process and are not mentioned in the paper.

Papers must be submitted electronically through EDAS at
http://edas.info.

Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and are not to exceed 16
pages, including text, figures and references. We require that
submissions conform to the Springer-Verlag LNCS style.

Paper registration and abstract submission: September 16, 2011
Full paper due: September 23, 2011
Author notification: November 21, 2011
