Intelligent System Techniques for Ad hoc and Wireless Sensor Networks 2012
(IST-AWSN'12)
http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/ist-awsn12/
will be held in conjunction with
the 3rd International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks
and Technologies (ANT-2012)
in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, August 27-29, 2012.
==========================================================================
Recent developments of low-cost, low-power, multifunctional wireless sensors
have enabled the fast growth of
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications, which include security, military,
agriculture, automation, environmental
and habitat monitoring. WSNs consist of numerous small inexpensive battery
powered sensors; each sensor has the
capability to process and store the sensor data. A combination of the dense
deployment of numerous smart sensors,
AI techniques, and intelligent agents can provide continuous real-time
monitoring that is precise, accurate, reliable, and inexpensive.
This symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on
different aspects of wireless sensor networks and
software agent technology in an effort to highlight the state-of-the-art and
discuss the challenges and opportunities to explore
new research directions. We strongly welcome submissions that include results
which advance the state of the art relating
to the theme of the symposium.
The main topics to be addressed include (but not limited to):
• Adaptive agents in AWSN
• Agent security and trust in AWSNs
• Agent-based architectures for AWSNs
• Agents design issues dealing with reliability, efficiency, and fault
tolerance
• Context and situation awareness
• Database management systems for AWSNs
• Distributed management systems for AWSNs
• Future Internet of Things
• Intelligent data fusion and aggregation
• Intelligent query and data dissemination
• Intelligent systems for AWSNs
• Learning agents in AWSN
• M2M communication protocols for sensors networks
• Middleware for sensors network
•
Mobile agents in AWSNs
• Monitoring agents in AWSNs
• Peer-to-Peer systems for AWSNs
• Power management and energy-efficient protocols
• QoS, performance evaluation and simulation
• Routing protocols for AWSNs
• Safe transmissions of data in AWSNs
• Self-organization of AWSNs
• Sensors and actuators infrastructures for ubiquitous robotics applications
• Sensors Knowledge Modeling and reasoning with Uncertainty
• Smart energy-efficient routing protocols
Publications
Only original papers will be considered that have neither been published nor
submitted for publication elsewhere,
including web publication. All submissions will
be handled electronically. The length of the paper is limited to 6 pages.
All papers will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers.
Accepted papers will be printed in the conference proceedings published by
Elsevier Science in the open-access
Procedia Computer Science series (on-line and CD). Procedia Computer Sciences
is hosted on www.Elsevier.com
and on Elsevier content platform ScienceDirect (www.sciencedirect.com), and
will be freely available worldwide.
All papers in Procedia will also be indexed by Scopus (www.scopus.com) and
Engineering Village (Ei) (www.engineeringvillage.com).
This includes EI Compendex (www.ei.org/compendex). The papers will contain
linked references, XML versions and citable DOI numbers.
You will be able to provide a hyperlink to all delegates and direct your
conference website visitors to your proceedings.
Authors of high quality papers presented in the symposium will be invited to
submit extended
version of their papers for publication in international journal special
issues.
