WiSARN 2013 - The 7th International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (WiSARN 2013)

The 7th International Workshop on
Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (WiSARN 2013-Spring)
http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~zhuan045/WiSARN/WiSARN...
To be held in conjunction with
The 9th IEEE International Conference on
Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS'13)

Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSAN and traditional wireless sensor networks, robot networks, as well as robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
Autonomous sensor networks
Emergent behavior in WSAN
Modeling and simulation of WSAN
WSAN architectural and operational models
Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication
Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination
Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols
Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols
Distributed control and management in WSAN
Neighborhood discovery and mobility management
Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots)
Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots
Actor (robot) task assignment
Biologically inspired communication
Ecological systems
Architectures and topology control
Localization in WSAN
Probabilistic integration in WSAN
Quality of service, security and robustness issues
Applications and prototypes
Hybrid networks and wireless Internet
Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing
Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines. Submissions are being considered with the understanding that they describe original research, neither published nor under review elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library after the conference and included in DCOSS 2013 proceedings. Selected best papers will be invited to a special issue of Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks: an international journal (SCIE).
