We are excited to announce that the fifth Workshop on Real-World
Wireless Sensor will be held at the Como Lake, Italy in September 2013.

The purpose of the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor
Networks (REALWSN) 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. Included are
also new forms of sensing such as those that leverage
smart phones, Internet of Things, RFIDs, and robots.

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.

All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of
interest, including but not limited to:
* Experiences with real-world deployments
* Mining real-world WSN data
* Sensor systems leveraging smart phones (crowd sensing)
* Sensors systems involving Internet of Things (IoT), RFIDs, robots
* Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation
results obtained by others
* Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management
* Debugging, testing, validation, and management
* Deployment and configuration
* Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring
* 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

Important dates:
* Electronic submissions due: June 21, 2013
* Notification of acceptance: August 8, 2013
* Camera-ready copy due: August 30, 2013
* Workshop: 19-20 September 2013

We will organize a poster and demo session as well. The deadline will
be August 15 2013, notification August 22 2013.
