CFP: QoS Provision in Wireless Sensor Networks (QPWSN'10)
C A L L F O R P A P E R S
QPWSN’10
1st International Workshop on "QoS Provision in Wireless Sensor Networks"
http://www.icte.uowm.gr/qpwsn10/
organized in conjunction with
The 6th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '10)
23 June 2010, Santa Barbara, California
Important Dates:
Manuscript Submission: 23 April 2010
Acceptance Notification: 7 May 2010
Camera ready: 21 May 2010
Scope and Overview:
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a modern kind of wireless networks, where numerous monitoring devices are interconnected to communicate their collected data. The literature has not paid yet enough attention to QoS in WSNs. This is mainly due to the currently unclear purpose and usage of the WSNs, which significantly differ from the traditional networks. However, modern WSN applications require traffic differentiation, guaranteed end-to-end delivery, low delay jitter, and high throughput. The sensors’ limited resources and energy autonomy combined with the unreliable wireless medium make QoS support in WSN certainly challenging. Thus, new designs for offering QoS in WSNs are becoming necessary.
This Workshop will try to analyze modern methods of providing QoS support in WSNs, explain all related issues, highlight the problems that arise when trying to provide QoS demanding services over wireless networks, present the theoretical background, bring out related solutions given so far, and moreover, exhibit the latest research concepts and relevant ideas regarding near-future implementations.
Topics of Interest:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Multimedia transmissions over WSNs
- QoS capable routing algorithms for WSNs
- Traffic prioritization schemes for WSNs
- QoS supportive protocols for medium access control in WSNs
- Power saving mechanisms for WSNs
- Medical content transfer using sensors for telemedicine
- Categorized data communications over environment monitoring WSNs
- Novel applications for QoS aware WSNs
- Cross-layer techniques for QoS provision in WSNs
- Simulation of QoS aware WSNs
- Analytical models for QoS aware WSNs

Free Webinar – March 10th
We have a two part webinar on March 10th at 8 am — signup here — the first talking about use of the DASH7 standard within the military presented by Identec Solutions, and the second presented by Ted Osinski of MET Labs, where we’ll hear about the roadmap for interoperability certification. It’s free and usually a pretty interactive discussion. Hope you can join us.

Special Issue on
Wireless Sensor Networks: Designing for Real-World Deployment and
Deployment Experiences
A vast number of protocols, architectures and design methods for
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been proposed within the last
decade. Analytical methods, simulation tools and laboratory
experimentation were used to validate the proposals and demonstrate
that the solutions put forth should work as expected. However, many
such solutions failed (and sometimes quite dramatically) when deployed
in a real-world application context. This is often the consequence of
making ill-informed assumptions about the environment in which the WSN
will be deployed, lack of attention to specific conditions that will
be encountered in the deployment and incomplete application
specification. In addition, good solutions for many important
real-world deployment problems are missing. For example, mechanisms
for dealing with missing data, in-network debugging tools or fault
management strategies for real deployments are required.
This special issue has several aims:
· to collect insights from real-world deployment efforts that can
help the WSN community to better understand the issues needed to be
accounted for when designing WSN protocols, architectures and
algorithms;
· to document particular real-world deployment issues encountered
by practical scientists and highlight more generic WSN solutions and
tools born from practical, deployment experience;
· to report on WSN protocols and mechanisms that have had, in the
past, only a theoretical treatment but have recently been proven to
work well in real-world deployments.
We are seeking contributions describing innovative work in the realm
of real-world WSN deployments. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
· Issues with deployment assumptions: setting realistic
application requirements; user interaction with the WSN design process
and with the end systems; the use of communication channel and sensor
and sensing models; experiences with communication protocols, energy
management and expected network lifetime; in-network processing;
real-time issues in deployed systems; effective information extraction
strategies.
· Supporting tools and methods for real-world deployment:
deployment and debugging tools; on-the fly programming, configuration
and installation support; management of deployed sensor networks;
security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks;
fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks; network health
monitoring and management; practical medium access control protocols;
topology control and routing protocols in real-world deployments;
practical localization and time synchronization.
· Novel real-life WSN applications: deployment success stories
leading to technology adoption; failure stories leading to iterative
hw/sw developments and re-deployment; novel measurement instruments
based on WSNs.
Notes for Prospective Authors: The scope of this call is restricted to
work that falls within the remit of the MST Journal. Articles should
bring forth new WSN based measurement techniques and systems,
significant improvements to existing measurement techniques or
describe the application of existing techniques in novel situations.
Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be
currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Expanded,
archival versions of papers delivered at technical conferences are
welcomed.
