************The workshop has been canceled ************ Overview Wireless sensor networks offer a wealth of capabilities for
interfacing
the physical world with applications in environmental, industrial, and
medical domains. A typical wireless sensor network is expected to work
without human intervention for a long time period. Hence, energy
efficiency is of paramount importance in wireless sensor networks in
order to achieve maximum network lifetime. Due to the energy
constraints
of sensor devices, communication protocols and hardware architectures
for wireless sensor networks necessitate 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
such as energy harvesting have gained much attention in the research
community recently. In addition, each layer of the communication
protocol stack can employ various techniques to conserve energy with
consideration of the hardware's capabilities to minimize energy
expenditure. WEWSN intends
to bring together the researchers working on
various
topics in wireless sensor networks with relation to energy. It will be
held as a one-day workshop in conjunction with DCOSS'09, co-located
with
several related workshops on special topics in wireless networking,
thus
providing an ideal venue for researchers to share their ideas and
discuss their latest research work.
Authors are
invited to submit
original,
previously unpublished
manuscripts that demonstrate current research related to energy in
wireless sensor
networks. 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. Submitted papers must 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 authors of each accepted paper must
attend the workshop and present the paper.
