CALL FOR PAPERS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Thanks to wireless sensor networks, pervasive computing
environments are<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>becoming a reality. Wireless sensor networks are
aggregates of sensor nodes into<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>sophisticated sensing, computational and communication
infrastructures. These<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>new networks are having a significant impact (and
promises to have even more) on<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>a wide array of applications ranging from military, to
scientific, to<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>industrial, to health-care, to domestic, establishing
ubiquitous computing that<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>will pervade society and redefine the way in which we
live and work.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to
exchange ideas, discuss<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>solutions, and share experiences among researchers,
professionals, and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>application developers both from industry and academia.
Original papers<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of
sensor networks are<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>solicited. Papers describing prototype and experimental
implementations and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>deployment of sensor networks and systems are
particularly welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Topics of interest include but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Sensor-based systems and applications<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Operating systems<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Middleware and software tools<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Networking architectures and protocols<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Topology control<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Power management and energy-efficient design<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Time synchronization<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Location management<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText> - Sensor networks with mobile elements<o:p></o:p></p>

<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>All submissions will be handled via EDAS. Accepted papers
will be published by<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>the IEEE Computer Society Press in the combined PerCom
2009 workshops<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper
must register and attend<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>the workshop to present the paper.<o:p></o:p></p>
