Scope of EWSN 2006:
===================

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) - networks of tiny, autonomous sensor
devices equipped with wireless communication - are a topic of active
research in a number of different research communities, ranging from
hardware to applications. WSNs are characterized by a need to
carefully integrate functionalities traditionally considered to be
separate in order to achieve maximum efficiency, especially with
respect to energy consumption and management. Hence, a close
interaction of research from different backgrounds is
required. Additionally, WSNs are evolving from simple data
transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems,
e.g., because actuators in the network have to be supported.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from
different backgrounds, from hardware to applications, to create a
forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific
problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be
discussed.

We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of
interest include, but are not limited to:

* Hardware for WSN: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna
  design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing,
  battery technology, energy scavenging, miniaturization

* Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and
  transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation,
  mobility support, gateways to fixed Internet, providing
  functionalities like localization and synchronization

* Operating systems and programming abstractions: novel concepts and
  tools for programming and debugging sensor nodes, high-level
  programming abstractions

* Middleware and service infrastructures: configuration and installation
  support, lookup of available functionalities, group communication,
  QoS support, localization and synchronization services, integrating
  WSN in existing middleware architectures

* Information processing: querying, coding, compression, fusion,
  aggregation, event detection, classification, tracking

* Security: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols, secure
  system engineering

* Novel applications: requirements, experiences with real-world
  applications; the role of WSNs in realizing the visions of Ubiquitous
  Computing and Ambient Intelligence 

* Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes,
  measurements within sensor network testbeds, debugging and testing 

* Models: energy and resource consumption, applications, mobility,
  and communication

EWSN 2006 Conference:             February 13 - 15, 2006


Submission Details:
===================

The workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not
been previously published and are not currently under review by
another conference or journal. We will adopt a double-blind review
process, where the identities of the paper authors are withheld from
the reviewers.

All submissions will be handled electronically via EDAS:
http://edas.info

Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format. We require that they
conform to the Springer-Verlag LNCS style (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). The length of the
manuscript should not exceed 16 pages, including text, figures and
references. Use of LATEX for typesetting is recommended.

The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS
series.
