Call for Papers 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

After the huge success of two consecutive International Multi-topic ICT 
conferences (IMTIC08 & IMTIC12 www.muet.edu.pk/imtic/) held at Mehran 
University, the 1st International Symposium on Wireless Sensor Networks for 
Developing Countries (WSN4DC 13) jointly organized by Mehran University of 
Engineering & Technology, Jamshoro, Pakistan, Erasmus Mundus, StrongTies 
program and International Islamic University Malaysia. 


With the emergance of electronics and nanotechnology the pervasive and 
ubiquitous envoronments are becoming reality. The key enabler technology 
for these environments is Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We have seen lot 
of WSN advancement during recent past in military domain. The world is now 
well aware of the power of WSN and its applications, which are endless. The 
WSN4DC symposium aims to bring together a wide spectrum of international 
experts to facilitate a creative environment for the promotion of 
collaboration and knowledge transfer under the domain of WSN usage for 
Developing Countries (DC). In particular it will facilitate a dialogue 
between major industry players, entrepreneurs and academia to help create a 
roadmap for the development of tangible research environment in the 
developing countries. It is an international forum for researchers to 
exchange information regarding novel aspects of technology, application and 
service development within the WSN domain. 


The symposium programme will consist of keynote speakers from both industry 
and academia and panel discussion. There will be opportunities to attend 
interactive, high quality, peer reviewed sessions which will provide 
detailed insights from forward thinkers working in the themes of the 
conference. Additionally, there will be an exhibition for both 
international and niche market to display their latest products and 
services and to undertake a range of networking opportunities. 


The proceedings of WSN4DC '13 syposium be published by Springer (TBD). 
Additionally, the extended version of selected papers will be published as 
especial issue in reputed indexed journals (TBD).
