Overview A
typical wireless sensor network is expected to work without human
intervention for a long time period. Hence, energy is of
paramount
importance in wireless sensor networks in order
to achieve
maximum network lifetime. Due to the energy constraint
of sensor devices, wireless sensor network necessitates an energy-aware
design to ensure the longevity of the network. While most wireless
sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices, new
technologies like energy harvesting have been emerging and getting much
attention in the research community recently. In addition, each
layer
of the protocol stack can employ various techniques to conserve energy
while the hardware designs of motes can focus on extending its
lifetime. This workshop intends to bring
together the researchers working on
energy-related issues in wireless sensor network.
WEWSN will be
held as a one-day workshop in
conjuction with DCOSS
'08, co-locating with several related workshops on special
topics, including the Workshop on Localized Algorithms and Protocols
for Wireless Sensor Networks (LOCALGOS),
the Workshop on Information Theory for Sensor Networks (WITS),
the Workshop on Sensor Network Engineering (IWSNE),
the Workshop on Wireless Sensor Network Deployments (WiDeploy).
Therefore,
the workshop aims at providing an ideal venue for researchers to share
their
ideas and discuss their latest research works.
Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research related to energy in wireless sensor network. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following featured topics:
Paper Submission Instructions We only
accept original
papers that have neither been published nor submitted for
publication elsewhere. Papers must be submitted in
PDF format. Submissions have to conform to the IEEE-Transactions
format and should not exceed 8-pages. All
submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair.
The use of
LaTeX typesetting is highly recommended. It is your
responsibility
to
make sure that the manuscript is free of printing problem. At least one of the author(s) of each accepted paper must
attend the workshop and present the paper.
