In the recent years wireless sensor networks
has advanced
from a pure academic research to industry serving the market's demand
for numerous application scenarios. This workshop gives a podium
for new concepts and algorithms. Interesting examples are the use
of sensor networks in mobile scenarios, the use of hybrid sensor
networks in commercial solutions (e.g. sensor networks combined with ad
hoc networks), and the use of smart or directed antennae, multiple
frequencies, or other transmission media.
This workshop presents recent developments in the context of Wireless
Sensor Networks with special (yet not exclusive) focus on algorithmic
aspects concerning
- Mobility
- Scalability
- Lifetime
- Heterogeneity
in wireless sensor networks.
The workshops
consists of invited talks
of renown researchers (t.b.a.) in the field of wireless sensor networks
and short papers (two pages) containing concept papers and
announcements.
Short papers can be submitted and will be peer-reviewed by the
program committee with researchers working in the field of wireless
sensor networks mostly from academia, and some from industry (call for short papers).

satellite workshop of the 2006
International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor
Systems (DCOSS '06) and will take place in the Sir Francis Drake Hotel,
Union Square, San Francisco during June 18 - 20, 2006. |
