Sensor Networks
THEME:
Advances in sensor technology, networking and distributed processing are leading to the emergence  of a global sensing infrastructure. Networked sensor-actuator systems  include a) dense collections of power limited, smart, self-configuring wireless sensors and actuators, b) microphones and cameras forming surveillance networks, and c) networks of complex sensors such as weather radars or telescopes. Many applications are emerging that have the potential to revolutionize the way the physical world around us is instrumented, monitored and controlled.
Original technical papers addressing different aspects of sensor networks are solicited for presentation at the conference and publication in conference proceedings.
 
Topics include but are not limited to following:
Applications and deployments/ case studies
Sensors
Sensor nodes - architecture, hardware
Wireless sensor networks
Wired sensor networks
RFIDs and their applications
Protocols and standards
Algorithms for sensor networks
Data fusion in sensor networks
Resource management
Modeling and performance
Complexity and analysis
Software platforms and  middleware
Tools and techniques for design, deployment, testing and evaluation
Fault tolerance in sensor networks
Security and authentication

PAPER SUBMISSION:

Papers should be original and contain contributions of theoretical or experimental nature, or be unique experience reports. Interested authors should submit the full paper, not exceeding  6-page summary of their original and unpublished work including 5 keywords.  Papers are to be submitted electronically.

For additional information please contact  Anura.Jayasumana@colostate.edu . In the subject line please use ITNG 2009.

EVALUATION PROCESS:

Per ITNG policy, except for invited papers, all papers will be reviewed by at least two independent reviewers.Papers will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and soundness.   Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society. Selected papers presented in the conference will be considered for publication in a special issue of an international journal.

BEST STUDENT PAPER:

The Best Student Paper will be awarded at the conference. To be eligible, the student must be the sole author of the paper, or the first author and primary contributor. (The winner of the award will present the paper in a plenary session at the conference). A cover letter to the General Chair/Track Chair must identify the paper as a candidate for this competition at the time of submission.
