Call for Papers SensorFusion-09 July 13-16, Toronto, Canada Website - http://cs.acadiau.ca/~shussain/sf-09 +-------------------------------------------------------------+ SensorFusion'09 is the Third International Workshop on Information Fusion and Dissemination in Wireless Sensor Networks, which is organized in conjunction with the Sixth Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Services, http://www.mobiquitous.org/. ------------- Description ------------- The convergence of the Internet, wireless communications, and information processing technologies with techniques for miniaturization has opened up new vistas of research for sensor networks. Emerging technologies for sensing and pervasive computing have placed sensor networks at the threshold of a period of major growth. It has extended information fusion and dissemination in sensor networks from data aggregation, association and monitoring of interactions among hardware and software entities in ubiquitous computing environments to intelligent information processing for the next generation wireless internet. For the emerging hybrid sensor networks, information fusion can help in the seamless integration of smart sensors and actuators, devices and capabilities, software and hardware agents, sensor network applications and sensor nodes, distributed and collaborative algorithms, different communication technologies, different networking architectures, etc., all over wireless or wire-line backbones. The aim of this workshop is to provide a focal point for recent advances in this foundational area of information fusion and dissemination for sensor networks across different paradigms, disciplines and technologies. ---------- Topics ---------- Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Programmable architectures and infrastructures - Scalable, adaptive, self-organizing and self-healing architectures - Multi-sensor, multi-source information networking architectures - Intelligent, autonomous, seamless, pervasive, multi-sensor information processing - Information fusion and dissemination in mesh networks - Data collection, compression/decompression and mining - Distributed database processing in sensor networks - In-network processing, aggregation and data association - Protocol development for information fusion - Cross Layer Protocol design using Information Fusion - Energy and mobility management algorithms - Node localization in sensor networks - Information Fusion for Resource Allocation - Quality of Service in sensor networks - Integration of fusion and learning in sensor networks - Integration of software and hardware agents - Service discovery, creation and provisioning - Authentication and secure communication and data fusion - Integrated test-beds, experiments, algorithms and measurements - Real-world sensor applications addressing information fusion ----------------- Important Dates ----------------- Submission of Papers April 15, 2009 Authors Notification May 15, 2009 Final Manuscripts June 1, 2009 Workshop July 13-16, 2009 (specific date TBD) -------------------- Paper Submission ------------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers that have neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere, including web publication.
