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
- Database
management systems for AWSNs
- Distributed
management systems for AWSNs
- Intelligent
data fusion and aggregation
- Intelligent
query and data dissemination
- Intelligent
systems for AWSNs
- Learning
agents in AWSN
- Mobile
agents in AWSNs
- Monitoring
agents in AWSNs
- Peer-to-Peer
systems for AWSNs
- Power
management and energy-efficient protocols
- Routing
protocols for AWSNs
- Safe
transmissions of data in AWSNs
- Self-organization
of AWSNs
- Smart
energy-efficient routing protocols
Publication
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. |
