The Seventh IEEE PerCom International Workshop on
Sensor Networks and Systems for Pervasive Computing (PerSeNS 2011)

in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2011 (http://www.percom.org)
March 21-25, 2011
Seattle, USA

CALL FOR PAPERS

Wireless sensor networks collect sensing measurements or detect
special events, perform node-level processing, and export the combined
data from their sensing nodes to the outside world.
Sensing, processing and communication are three key elements whose
combination in one small device is instrumental to pervasive computing
and gives rise to countless applications.

This workshop will provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss
solutions, and share experiences among researchers and professionals
from industry and academia.

Papers describing original research on both theoretical and practical
aspects of sensor networks for pervasive computing are solicited.
We particularly welcome submissions that present implementation and
deployment results. Particular topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:

- Sensor-based systems and applications
- Operating systems for Sensor Networks
- Middleware and software tools
- Networking architectures and protocols
- Data gathering, aggregation and dissemination
- Topology control
- Power Management and energy-efficient design
- Time synchronization
- Location management
- Sensor networks with mobile elements
- Cross-layer architectures
- Intelligent sensor nodes
- Security and dependability issues
- Modeling and performance evaluation
- Measurements


PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers should contain original material and not be previously published,
or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Guidelines for
preparing and submitting the manuscript will be made available on the
workshop website. All submissions will be handled via EDAS. Accepted
papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press in the
combined PerCom 2011 workshops proceedings. At least one author of each
accepted paper must register and attend the workshop to present the
paper. There is no workshop-only registration.  Failure to present the
paper at the workshop will result in the withdrawal of the paper from
the Proceedings as well as from IEEE Xplore.


IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission deadline: October 31, 2010
Notification of acceptance: January 7, 2011
Camera-ready papers due: Late January, 2011
