May 17 - 21, 2010
The Westin Lombard Yorktown Center
Chicago, Illinois, USA
The 3rd International Workshop on
Distributed Collaborative Sensors Networks (DCSN 2010)
CALL FOR PAPERS
As part of
The 2010 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems (CTS 2010)
http://cisedu.us/cis/cts/10/main/callForPapers.jsp
Submission Deadline: January 18, 2010
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The 3rd International Workshop on Distributed Collaborative Sensors Networks aims at
providing opportunities to present the most recent advances and future challenges in the
field of distributed, wireless and mobile communications in sensors networks as they
relate to collaboration.
Wireless Sensors Networks are a significant current technology, attracting considerable
research interest from various disciplines. Indeed, wireless sensor technology is
employed in emerging areas with high potential for scientific research, and is used for
biomedical, environmental or industrial applications. These applications generally
require intelligent dense environment monitoring which generates important data
volumes. Data collection and analysis need to deal with cooperation and coordination
topics in order to prolong network lifetime and to provide useful, synthesized information
for automation, decision making and support. Topology control, by means of clusters
or groups, is another applied technique to overcome these challenging problems.
The 3rd International Workshop on Distributed Collaborative Sensors Networks will focus on
the research of developing collaboration infrastructures and solutions in the context of
wireless sensors networks, aiming to bring together researchers and practitioners in these
fields. In addition, the workshop will highlight recent innovative research results
which will strengthen the formal foundation of this emerging area. This workshop is
to be held as part of the 2010 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and
Systems (CTS10).
Topics of Interest include (but not limited to):
Solicited topics are welcomed to address roles from the viewpoint of collaboration and
include, but are not limited to:
- Data and Resource Sharing in Sensors Networks
- Collaborative Data Management on Large Scale
- Distributed Sensors Architectures
- Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks
- Interfacing with Wireless/Mobile Systems
- Routing and Data Transport in Wireless Sensor Networks
- Group Collaboration in Sensor Networks
- Visualization Techniques and Visual Languages for Collaborative Sensor Networks
- Multi-sensor Data Fusion
- Methods for Ad Hoc Deployment
- Algorithms for Sensor Localization and Tracking of Mobile Users
- Energy Issues and In-Situ Calibration Methods
- Performance Evaluation of Distributed Sensor Networks
- Multimedia Sensor Networks
- Trust and Security Issues in Distributed Collaborative Sensor Systems
- Intelligent Sensor Technologies and Applications
- Applications Enabled by Collaborative Sensor Network Architectures
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
We invite researchers in academia, industry and research institutions to submit papers
reporting original and unpublished research work on the above or any other related
topics. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliations,
addresses, fax and phone numbers, and email addresses. Also include an abstract of
no more than 400 words along with a short list of keywords. Please clearly indicate
the corresponding author.
Please submit an electronic copy of your full draft manuscript (not exceeding 10 pages in
IEEE format, single-spaced, double-column, including figures, tables and
references). Electronic submissions will be accepted only in PDF format, sent by
email to the organizers. Instructions for final manuscript format and requirements
will be posted on the Symposium's web site later. Submission implies the willingness
of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. All
accepted papers are required to be presented and will be included in the conference
proceedings.
All submitted papers and posters will be rigorously reviewed by at least three of the
technical program committee members and the reviewers they invite. Papers will be
selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance, relevance, and clarity of
presentation. Initial selection will be based on full papers.
The accepted papers will be published in the CTS 2010 proceedings which is expected to be
included in the IEEE Digital Library. Selected papers, after peer reviewed, will be
published in a special issue of the International Journal on Information and Communication
Technologies (
www.ieee.ma/IJICT
).
