Call For Papers The First International Workshop on Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks (HWISE-2005) URL http://www.csc.lsu.edu/~durresi/hwise2005/ July 20 (Wed.) to 22 (Fri.), 2005 at Fukuoka Institute of Technology (FIT), Fukuoka, Japan In conjunction with the 11th IEEE International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems ICPADS 2005 Paper Submission Due: March 20, 2005 PURPOSE AND SCOPE Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks (HWISE) , supported by recent technological advances in low power wireless communications along with silicon integration of various functionalities such as sensing, communications, intelligence and actuation are emerging as a critically important disruptive computer class based on a new platform, networking structure and interface that enable novel, low cost, high volume applications such as nuclear, biological and chemical, attack detection and protection, home automation, battlefield surveillance and environmental monitoring. Several of such applications have been difficult to realize because of problems involved with inputting data from sensors directly into actor systems. To fulfill their large range of applications sensor and actor networks will collaborate with other wired and wireless systems including WLANs, Cellular networks and grid systems The research community is working to develop high performance computing solutions to problems arising from the complexities of these sensor and actor network systems. The workshop is to bring together computer scientists, industrial engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange experimental or theoretical results, novel designs, work-in-progress, experience, case studies, and trend-setting ideas in the area of Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks. All papers accepted for HWISE-2005 conference and workshops will appear in the Proceedings of ICPADS 2005, which is to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Awards will be given to the best papers. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: -Scalable Architecture, Algorithms and Complexity Issues for Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks -Communication protocols for Heterogenous Wireless Sensor Networks at all layers -Distributed Sensor and Actor Network Tasking and Self Organization -Data compression, association, aggregation -Distributed Detection Classification Methods -Distributed Sensor Networks - Networking Caching Issues -Fault tolerant HWISE and diagnostic techniques -Software platforms and tools for sensor/actor network application development -Managing Resource Constraints -Energy efficient medium access control, error control, and traffic management protocols -Energy efficient system services such as localization and time synchronization -Mechanisms, protocols and algorithms for authenticated, secure communication -Better tradeoffs between security and performance -Learning Patterns from Distributed Sensor Sources -Robust distributed algorithms for collaborative processing -Mobility issues related to integration sensor-actor systems -Data querying, storage and dissemination -Data compression, association, aggregation and fusion -Coordination, Integration and Synchronization in Distributed Sensor and Actor Networks -Application specific network and system services, including data-centric routing -QoS in Heterogeneous Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks -Interoperability among Sensor networks, WLANs, Cellular, Satellite and wired networks -Applications of HWISE in Biology, Manufacturing, Medical Science and Engineering PAPER SUBMISSION Papers representing original, unpublished work are invited to be submitted and will be evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition.
