THIRD IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2008)
Montreal, Canada
14-17 October 2008

CALL FOR PAPERS
Sensor nodes are tiny autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks.
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks
Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library.
SUBMISSION
FULL PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e. Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, Helvetica or equivalent.
POSTER/DEMOS: Poster papers are an opportunity to present initial results and obtain feedback on on-going research. We also welcome submissions for demonstrations that showcase original research, practical implementations and realistic applications of wireless sensor networks. Poster/demo papers must be restricted to 2 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references.
Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS. All papers must include title, complete contact information of all authors, abstract and up to 5 keywords on the cover page. The corresponding author must be clearly identified. Further information can be found at http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp.
