WSNA 2012 - International Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks and their Applications

International Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks and their Applications
In conjunction with
The Fourth International Conference on Networked Digital Technologies
(NDT 2012)
April 24-26, 2012
Dubai
Workshop Aim and Scope
The main objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and technologists to present new and innovative research results in wireless sensor networks “WSNs” and their applications. There have been tremendous technological advances in the development of low-cost sensor devices equipped with wireless network interfaces. The design of large-scale sensor networks interconnecting several hundred to a few thousand sensor nodes has attracted considerable research attention. WSNs find applications spanning several domains including military, medical, industrial, and home networks. Some of the key challenges deal with the scalability of WSN communication and routing protocols to large number of nodes, design of simple and efficient protocols for different network operations, design of power-conserving protocols, design of data handling techniques including data gathering, data fusion and data dissemination, and development of exciting new applications that exploit the potential of WSNs.
Areas of Interest
The workshop program invites papers on various topics of interest to this Workshop including but not limited to:
