------ Apologies for multiple postings ---------

                            AlgoSensors 04:

First International Workshop on
Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks

July 16 2004, Turku, Finland 

To be held in conjunction with ICALP 2004

http://ru1.cti.gr/algosensors04/

SCOPE

Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have become a very important 
research subject due to their potential of providing 
diverse services to numerous applications.
The realization of sensor networks requires 
intensive technical research and development efforts
especially in power aware scalable wireless ad hoc communications
protocols due to their unusual application requirements and constraints.

On the other hand, a solid theoretical background seems necessary for
sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is an algorithmic
challenge to achieve efficient and robust realizations of such large,
highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networking
environments.  Features including the huge number of sensor
devices involved, the severe power, computational and memory limitations,
their dense deployment and frequent failures, pose new design,
analysis and implementation challenges.

This workshop is intended to provide a forum 
for researchers and practicioners to present 
their contributions related to all aspects
of sensor networks.


TOPICS

Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics
including but not limited to:

*  Modeling of specific sensor networks
*  Methods for ad hoc deployment
*  Algorithms for sensor localization and tracking of mobile users
*  Dynamic sensor networks
*  Hierarchical clustering architectures
*  Attribute-based named nets
*  Routing: implosion issues and resource management
*  Communication protocols
*  Media acess control in sensor networks
*  Simulators for sensor networks
*  Sensor architecture
*  Energy issues

(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html),
in a hardcopy volume 
and will be available during the Workshop.

Selected high quality papers will be considered for publication 
on a Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks 
of the Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) Journal.



Paper Submission:

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original  
unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related  
to the workshop. Papers should not exceed twelve (12) SINGLE-spaced pages
of text using at least 11 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch pages, 
including references, figures, tables, etc. Additional material 
may be added at a clearly marked Appendix
to be read at the discretion of the Program Committee Members.

Papers should be submitted electronically in Postcript 
or PDF format by sending an e-mail attachment to

algosensors04@cti.gr

All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments 
will be provided to the authors.

Authors need to make sure that for each accepted paper 
at least one author will attend to the workshop.
