Subject of the Workshop:
We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless
sensor networking (WSN), which makes it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and
for long periods of time, the physical environment. Ensuring high connectivity
within the network is vital for real applications. Moreover, for many
applications, sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must
be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the
data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular
sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed values instantaneously,
fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By
connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a
local-area network, a private intranet, mobile network infrastructures,
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and notably the global internet, gaining
remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward.
The integration of RFID and WSN is one of the most promising
technologies that will play an important role in the emergence of Internet of
the Things (IoT). For example, in a healthcare application, RFID tags can be
used to track the elders, whereas the sensors are used to monitor the elders?
conditions. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be
tackled before such interconnection becomes effective. Suitability of IP
standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. By
openly connect a sensor network to other networks, doors will be opened to new
vulnerabilities. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the
network anymore, but he might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very
important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability
are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous
systems.?
Connecting different WSNs/part of a WSN is another issue
that needs to be considered. A WSN might get partitioned into distinct segments
due to battery exhaustion of sensors. Providing mechanisms to restore
connectivity by connecting those segments is of high importance, where an
isolated segment of sensor nodes that cannot reach its sink can exploit the
existence of a neighboring reachable WSN to deliver its sensed information.
This
workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the
different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks,
and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions.
