S-CUBE 2012 - The 3rd International ICST conference on Sensor Systems and Software

The 3rd International ICST conference on Sensor Systems and Software
June 4-6, 2012 - Lisbon, Portugal
S-CUBE 2012, the 3rd International ICST Conference on Sensor Systems and Software, provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing system development and software support for wireless sensor network-based systems that have the potential to impact society in many ways. Currently, wireless sensor networks enable innovative and interesting application scenarios that may support a large amount of different applications including environmental monitoring, seismic sensing, smart-homes, disaster prevention, building automation, object tracking, nuclear reactor control, fire detection, agriculture, healthcare, utility infrastructure monitoring, and traffic monitoring.
The widespread acceptance of these new services can be improved by the definition of new programming languages, frameworks, and architectures that have the potential to radically simplify software development for wireless sensor network based applications. The aim of these new architectures is to support flexible, scalable programming of applications based on adaptive middleware, and agile hardware. Moreover the design of new complex systems, characterized by the interaction of different and heterogeneous resources, require the development of innovative applications to meet high performance quality of service demands. Hence, WSNs will benefit from contributions from many fields such as embedded systems, distributed systems, real-time data acquisition and data fusion, wireless protocols, and system security.
The aim of the conference is to create a forum in which researchers from academia and industry, practitioners, business leaders, intellectual property experts, and venture capitalists may work together in order to compare and debate different innovative solutions.
The conference will feature a highly selective technical program consisting of regular research papers, short papers, and posters as well as specialized tracks at the intersection of business and technology.
