The Ninth IEEE PerCom International Workshop on
Sensor Networks and Systems for Pervasive Computing (PerSeNS 2013)
March 18-22, 2013
San Diego, California
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
Wireless sensor networks collect sensing measurements or detect
special events, perform node-level processing, and export the combined
data from their sensing nodes to the outside world.
Sensing, processing and communication are three key elements whose
combination in one small device is instrumental to pervasive computing
and gives rise to countless applications.
This workshop will provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss
solutions, and share experiences among researchers and professionals
from industry and academia.
Papers describing original research on both theoretical and practical
aspects of sensor networks for pervasive computing are solicited.
We particularly welcome submissions that present implementation and
deployment results. Particular topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
- Sensor-based systems and applications
- Operating systems for Sensor Networks
- Middleware and software tools
- Networking architectures and protocols
- Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination
- Topology control
- Power Management and energy-efficient design
- Time synchronization
- Location management
- Sensor networks with mobile elements
- Cross-layer architectures
- Intelligent sensor nodes
- Security and dependability issues
- Modeling and performance evaluation
- Measurements
EDITORIAL FOLLOW UP
Papers of particular merit will be considered for a possible special issue in an international journal.
PAPER SUBMISSION
Papers should contain original material and not be previously published,
or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere.
Papers must be submitted in PDF format.
Maximum length: 6 pages.
Papers must be prepared using the template available at the following page:
All submissions will be handled via EDAS.
Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in
the combined PerCom 2013 workshops proceedings. At least one author
of each accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present
the paper. There is no workshop-only registration.
Failure to present the paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal
of the paper from the Proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore.
IMPORTANT DATES
Paper submission deadline: October 30, 2012
Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2012
Camera-ready papers due: January 25, 2013
