AAAI-04 Workshop on Sensor Networks
July 26, 2004 San Jose, California Call for Papers Organizers: Gaurav S. Sukhatme (USC), Adnan Darwiche (UCLA), and Deborah Estrin (UCLA) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] We invite the submission of full papers, extended abstracts, and position papers to a one day workshop on Sensor Networks at AAAI-04. All submissions are due on March 12, 2004 on the following website: submission web page All papers should be in PDF format and should use the AAAI style , with the following page limitations in mind. Position statements are limited to 2 pages. Extended abstracts are limited to 5 pages, and full papers are limited to 8 pages. Sensor Networks are emerging as a revolutionary and critical information technology. Like the Internet, these large-scale and distributed systems, which are composed of smart sensors and actuators, will eventually infuse the physical world. Sensor networks will form a critical infrastructure resource for society as they will monitor and collect information on such diverse subjects as ecosystem dynamics, soil & air contaminants, medical patients, buildings, bridges and other man-made structures. Across this wide range of applications, sensor networks promise to reveal previously unobservable phenomena, allowing for a greater understanding and control of both natural and man-made environments. Research on sensor networks has been taking place at several levels, from the lowest physical level to the highest information level. The main goal of this workshop is to foster research at the information level of sensor networks, for which the AI community has a lot to offer in terms of both theory and technique. Specifically, the workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers in the AI community to meet with members of the sensor networks community, to exchange information on the needs and problems in the development and deployment of sensor networks, and on the AI tools and techniques that can be brought to bear on these problems. We encourage submissions that cover any of the following subject areas. First, AI techniques with applications to sensor networks, including distributed inference, reasoning about (the value of) information, machine learning, and multi-robot and multi-agent systems. Second, sensor network applications and deployed systems that could benefit from AI techniques. Third, theoretical approaches and practical systems that already integrate AI techniques into sensor networks. The workshop will include 25-50 participants, with a format that includes both paper/position presentations and panel discussions. We will also have a small number of invited presentations to provide participants with background information of global interest. Workshop attendance will be by invitation of the organizers. Selection of attendees will be made by the organizers on the basis of submissions. Workshop organizers will notify submitters of acceptance by April 16, 2004. Camera-ready copy is due back to workshop organizers by May 7, 2004. All workshop participants must register for the AAAI-04 Technical Program. AAAI will reproduce and mail copies of working notes for the workshop and AAAI Press offers the opportunity for workshop papers to be published.
