Fourth International Workshop on
Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications

In conjunction with ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering 
(ICSE) May 18-26, 2013, San Francisco (USA)

By acting as the interface between digital and physical worlds, wireless sensor 
networks (WSNs) represent a fundamental building block of the upcoming Internet 
of Things and a key enabler for Cyber-Physical and Pervasive Computing Systems. 
Despite the interest raised by this decade-old research topic, the development 
of WSN software is still carried out in a rather primitive fashion, by building 
software directly atop the operating system and by relying on an individual's 
hard-earned programming skills. WSN developers must face not only the 
functional application requirements but also a number of challenging, 
non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce resources. 
The heterogeneity of network nodes, the unpredictable environmental influences, 
and the large size of the network further add to the difficulties. In the WSN 
community, there is a growing awareness of the need for methodologies, 
techniques, and abstractions that simplify development tasks and increase the 
confidence in the correctness and performance of the resulting software. 
Software engineering (SE) support is therefore sought, not only to ease the 
development task but also to make it more reliable, dependable, and repeatable. 
Nevertheless, this topic has received so far very little attention by the SE 
community.
SESENA13 aims to attract researchers belonging to both the SE and WSN 
communities, not only to exchange recent research results on the topic, but 
also to stimulate discussion about the core open problems and to define a 
shared research agenda. The workshop welcomes both research contributions and 
position statements. The former will foster in-depth technical discussions of 
novel results with an audience composed of both SE and WSN researchers. The 
latter will provide the opportunity for presenting open problems, provocative 
views, or previously unexplored ideas in an informal fashion. To foster 
discussion, SESENA13 will also host a special "speakers' corner" session 
composed of impromptu presentations where attendees (including those without 
accepted papers) will have the opportunity to present their own views in very 
short segments (e.g., 2-4 minutes).

-----------------------------------

Topics of Interest

The workshop focuses on software engineering issues arising in networked 
(embedded) sensing systems and their possible integration in Internet of Things 
scenarios. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- environment and context modeling;
- development methodologies;
- (macro-)programming languages and compilers;
- testing, debugging, and validation;
- non-functional modeling and analysis;
- software engineering for socio-technical requirements;
- security and trust;
- formal verification and model-checking;
- model-driven approaches;
- middleware systems;
- interfacing WSNs and business services;
- integration of WSNs in IoT applications.

-----------------------------------

Submissions

Prospective participants are invited to submit research or position papers 
containing original unpublished material describing ongoing work and new ideas, 
mature research results, or experience reports. Submissions must conform to the 
ICSE submission format and rules. Research papers may not exceed 6 pages, 
position papers must be limited to 2 pages. Papers must be submitted 
electronically through EasyChair 
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sesena13). The program committee 
will review all submissions for quality, relevance, and their potential to 
trigger discussions at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the 
ICSE companion proceedings and on the workshop web site.
