AIMS AND SCOPE

 

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer unprecedented capabilities for
integrating sensing with computing and communication as well as for
distributed sensing, coordination and control. While WSNs have been a
subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities
to date focused on sensor nodes typically deployed in static, pre©\
determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and
multi©\hopped to a static sink for subsequent storage and analysis. The next
evolutionary step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all its
forms. That is, mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and actuators as well
as mobility of code (i.e. applications). The mobility extension represents a
more recent research subject in sensor networking; mobility opens up a whole
new level of research opportunities and challenges in WSNs, and
significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used.
This workshop aims to highlight the benefits and challenges from such a step
and outline the state of the art in this particularly promising research
area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 

- Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks

- Actuator networks

- Mobile sensor©\actuator networks

- Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks

- Mobile agent©\based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor

Networks

- Localization techniques in wireless sensor and actuator

networks

- Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks

- Mobility©\assisted communication in Wireless Sensor

IMPORTANT DATES:

 

Paper Submissions: March 5, 2012

Notification: March 25, 2012

Final Version: April 12, 2012

 

PAPER SUBMISSIONS INSTRUCTIONS:

 

This workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been
previously published and are not currently under review elsewhere. Papers
should be formatted based on the IEEE Transactions journals and conferences
style; maximum allowed camera©\ready paper length is six (6) pages.
Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format, including text, figures and
references and sent through email to the Program Co©\Chairs (seeabove). All
accepted papers must be presented by a registered author

 

PROCEEDINGS ¨C JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE:

 

Besides a hardcopy workshop proceedings volume, workshop papers will be
included in the IEEE Digital Library. MobiSensor'2012 chairs are considering
several options for setting up a Special Issue in an internationally reputed
journal, where extended versions of selected workshop papers will be
invited.
