Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks have emerged as a new platform for distributed embedded systems. Example applications include medical care, emergency response, critical infrastructure protection, intelligent transportation, and smart manufacturing. The wireless sensor networks track aims at fostering the interaction and collaboration of researchers and exchanging new ideas in various aspects of sensor network research. The technical program of this track will consist of selected regular papers.

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research on various aspects of wireless sensor network systems.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Sensor network applications and deployment experiences
• Sensor network protocols and architectures
• Operating systems and middleware for sensor networks
• Real-time issues in sensor networks
• Distributed networked sensing and control
• Power management
• Programming abstractions
• Wide-area sensing services
• Detection, classification, and estimation
• Localization and time synchronization
• Security and privacy
