CALL FOR PAPERS


International Workshop on Theoretical and Algorithmic Aspects of
Sensor and Ad-hoc Networks (WTASA07)

Hyatt Regency Hotel, Miami, Florida
June 28-29, 2007

Wireless sensor networks have attracted much attention due to potential
applications ranging from habitat monitoring to disaster recovery.
Much work has been done in protocol design for data communication and
data collection, simulation, and experimental study.
The theoretical research, however, falls short of the expectation of
the future sensor network deployment. People working in hardware,
systems, and experiments have collected much data and accrued much
experience, but the effort in answering how the experience helps to
push the theoretical research in sensor networks forward for a deeper
understanding about this new network is still in its inception.

To that end, the International Workshop on Theoretical and Algorithmic
Aspects of Sensor Networks will bring together leading researchers
and developers in this field to study the special problems and
challenges of the algorithmic aspects of sensor and ad-hoc networks.
The goal of the workshop is also to foster communication not only
between the different sensor and ad-hoc communities, but also
between those communities and the distributed systems and
information systems communities.

Scope of the Workshop

The objective of the workshop is to define and establish a common
infrastructure of the discipline and to develop a consensus-based
document that will provide a foundation for implementation,
standardization, and further research. The workshop will identify
and define fundamental concepts and techniques, resolve conflicts
between certain approaches in the area and provide a common ground
for advanced research and development in algorithmic aspects of
sensor and ad-hoc networks, concentrating on the special challenges
of the sensor and mobile and wireless environments. The topics that
will be addressed include, but are not limited to, the following,
all as they pertain to the sensors and mobile environment:


Theoretical and algorithmic methods/tools: optimization, modeling,
computational geometry, graph theory, and combinatorics.
Energy-aware sensor network topology control, routing algorithms,
data collection, congestion control, and resource management.
Sensor network test-beds, field experiments, trial and measurements.
Optimal resource management, bandwidth management,
power control, mobility management.
Sensor network static and dynamic planning.
Location-dependent applications and protocols including
localization and object tracking.
Data aggregation and dissemination, data query.
MAC (Media Access Control) algorithms and protocols,
including contention-based and collision-free methods.
Security and its trade-off with other factors such as energy,
delay, computation complexity.
Scalability design, e.g., clustering architectures.
Distributed and localized solutions.
Flow and error control, implementations and performance analysis.
Admission control, QoS (Quality of Service), Fault-tolerance.
Specific application design, multimedia over sensor networks.
Inter-connection between sensor networks and other types of
networks such as cellular networks, the Internet.



Workshop Format

The workshop format will encourage productive interaction among
participants. It will consist of the presentation of position
papers and invited papers on new developments and current trends,
with ample time allocated for group discussions.
This format should provide a forum for collaborations to develop
among members of the different research and development communities.
Attendance will be limited and attendants will be asked to
contribute to a consensus-based paper on algorithmic aspects of
sensor and ad-hoc networks to be published after the workshop.



Submission

Authors are invited to submit position papers discussing issues in
algorithmic aspects of sensor and ad-hoc networks that must be
addressed to achieve consensus. Position papers that challenge
existing ideas in algorithmic aspects of sensor and ad-hoc networks
with new research, technologies and visionary applications are also
encouraged.
Position papers should be between 10 and 25 pages in length,
and should include the title, author(s), authors' affiliation and
an abstract. Submitters should also indicate their willingness
to contribute to the final report. Electronic submission is strongly
encouraged. If electronic submission is not possible,
five (5) hard copies of the paper should be sent.
Contact information for both forms of submission is provided below.
The accepted papers will be distributed to the participants prior
to the workshop and also the proceedings of the workshop projected
to appear in a book or in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
