held in conjunction with
The Sixth International
Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN’07)
Overview:
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), that consist of thousands of low-cost
sensor nodes, have been used in many promising applications, such as
military surveillance, infrastructure protection, scientific exploration and
smart environments. Researchers in this area have accumulated a large
portfolio of network services and middleware, effectively addressing a wide
range of individual research problems. However, because of the limited
understanding on how to integrate these components effectively, we are
facing an urgent and challenging question on how to build sensor network
systems efficiently. To facilitate collaboration on and convergence of
future sensor network software and protocol architecture, the International
Workshop on Wireless Sensor Network Architecture is seeking novel ideas
which specify the essential principles that guide sensor network software
design. In particular, we are interested in architecture-level service and
protocol interfaces, network function decomposition and partitioning,
composition methodologies of software components, and high-level engineering
of sensor network protocols. Observe that this workshop is not concerned
with hardware architecture and component interfaces. This topic is more
appropriate for SPOTS. Also, the workshop is not concerned with design of
any specific protocols and middleware services. Such specific components are
more appropriate for IPSN and/or SPOTS. Further, an important area of
special interest is a general architecture for wide-area sensor networks
that integrates homogeneous/heterogeneous geographically distributed sensor
networks together seamlessly. Suggestions and architectural principles for a
future world-wide sensor web are highly sought. We strongly encourage
philosophical position papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at
an early stage in their investigation.
