SC 2013 - International Workshop on Sensor Cloud

Research and applications in wireless sensor networks (WSN) and cloud computing (CC) continue to grow. The integration of sensor networks and cloud computing play a vital role in the advancement of modern sensor technology with the strength of cloud computing. The aim of sensor cloud (SC) is to make the sensed and processed data accessible from distributed networks. With sensor clouds, large-scale data can be collected, processed, and shared among multiple networks. Sensor cloud raises many research and practical challenges such as event processing and management, real time data processing, large scale computing infrastructure and frameworks, and harvesting collective intelligence.
The goal of SC 2013 workshop is to bring together multi-disciplinary researchers, professionals and practitioners from academia and industry who are involved in the fields of both wireless sensor networks and cloud computing areas to discuss recent advances and innovative ideas in these fields. SC workshop solicits papers on either completed or ongoing research in the following and related topics of interests include (but not limited to):
Topics of the Workshop :
Mobility in Sensor Clouds
Monitoring techniques/mechanism for Sensor-Cloud infrastructure
Performance management of sensor in cloud (Algorithms and protocols)
