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 is to be held from 24-26 
April 2012 at MUET, Jamshoro, Pakistan..

With the emergance of electronics and nanotechnology the pervasive and 
ubiquitious environments 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 conference will be published by Springer, 
Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) Series.               
Additionally, the extended version of selected papers will be published as 
special issue in Mehran University Research Journal of Engineering & Technology 
(MURJET) http://publications.muet.edu.pk/
