2nd Student Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks

HOME | PROGRAM | VENUE | PHOTOS

The purpose of the Second Student Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks is to bring together both graduate and undergraduate students working in the area of wireless sensor networks, with focus on applications, real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. Students will have the opportunity to interact with their peers and publicize and get feedback on their work, exchange experiences, make contacts, and learn what other students are doing in the Wireless Sensor Networks area. The workshop would be a day-long program organized in such a way to promote lively discussions.

We would like to invite student researchers to submit their work to the workshop. Since this workshop is an excellent opportunity to ask for suggestions, to receive useful feedback and to run your ideas by the audience of researchers, the emphasis of the workshop will be on work in progress or very recent results. The research being presented can come from any topic area within wireless sensor networks including, but not limited to, the following topic areas:

• Experiences with real-world deployments
• Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others
• Operation, debugging and testing
• Development and deployment of protype platforms
• Applications in agriculture, industry, environmental monitoring, etc.
• Security and trust
• Scalability in practice
• Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages
• Middleware for heterogeneous networks
• Hardware support for real-world sensor networks
• Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware
• Energy efficient protocols
• Adaptive networking protocols
• Self-organization and self-management

This workshop is open to students from any research and academic institution and to the entire scientific community. The workshop is sponsored by the FRONTS project (Foundations of Adaptive Networked Societies of Tiny Artefacts, ICT-215270), the Observatory for the Greek Information Society, the Microsoft Inovation Center, the University of Thessaly and the Research Academic Computer Technology Institute.

The 2nd Student Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks will take place on October 30-31, 2009, in Athens at the Microsoft Innovation Center.

The 1st Student Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks (SWWSN08) took place on November 1st, 2008, in Athens at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

In addition to contributed papers and demonstrations, the meeting will also include keynote addresses by leading researchers, results from research & development EU funded projects and presentations of products from the industry.

Participation is open to anyone interested. No registration is required.
