CALL FOR PAPERS  

PWSN 2013
5th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks
http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2013/

May 23 2013, Boston (Cambridge), Massachusetts, USA

In conjunction with the 9th IEEE International Conference on Distributed 
Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '13)
=========================================================================

Most existing wireless sensor network (WSN) installations have in common that 
they are not considered time-critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken 
as a response to the received data. However, many emerging WSN applications 
such as plant automation and control, smart cities or health care applications 
require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be 
transported reliably and in time through the sensor network. In some scenarios, 
data even has to travel through the sensor network and the Internet to reach 
the destination. In this situation the overall system spanning the Internet and 
sensor networks must provide together the required performance characteristics. 
Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is 
currently very difficult to construct and operate a WSN with performance 
guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many 
application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and 
solved.

The PWSN workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners 
designing and deploying sensor networks that have to meet specific performance 
targets.
