WTA 2013 - The FTRA 9th International Symposium on Wireless sensor network Technologies and Applications for Smart Space

The FTRA 9th International Symposium on Wireless sensor network Technologies and Applications for Smart Space (WTA 2013) will be held in Gwangju, Korea, September 4-6, 2013. Smart Spaces (SS) represents an advanced communication environment featuring daily-life objects that continuously involve and are focused on final non-expert users. SS has rapidly emerged as an exciting new paradigm that tends to include different active research fields such as ubiquitous, grid, and P2P computing. SS environments have recently raised tremendous interests in both the academic and the industrial research communities as one of the most promising application fields for pervasive computing services.
The WTA 2013 aims to address system and network issues for SS communications. It will solicit both original research papers and review articles that enhance the state-of-the-art in these fields, including topics like effective context extraction and representation, context-based service discovery, context-based service composition, integration of legacy systems and services, security theory, business models, and novel applications that are associated with SS utilization. The papers will be peer reviewed by at least three independent reviewers and will be selected on the basis of their quality and relevance to the theme of this conference.
WTA 2013 is the next event in a series of highly successful symposium on wireless sensor network technologies and applications for SS (WTA), previously held as WTA-12(Jeju, Korea, Nov 2012), WTA-11 (Jeju, Korea, Dec 2010), WTA-10 (Gwangju, Korea, Dec 2010), SH-10 (Busan, Korea, May 2010), SH-09 (Toronto, Canada, July 2009), SH-08 (Hainan, China, Dec. 2008), SH-07 (Jeju, Korea, Dec. 2007), IWSH-06 (Jeju, Korea, Nov. 2006).

All submissions must be written in English. They must contain no information identifying the author(s) or their affiliation(s).
All papers must be submitted in an electronic format which conforms to the symposium proceedings style and submitted as DOC or PDF files.
Papers must strictly adhere to page limits (4~5 pages) for the symposium. Papers exceeding the page limits will be rejected without review.
All authors MUST use the following sample paper format.
* Accepted papers will be published by a Conference CD Proceeding.
As you can see the CFP, final version of all accepted and presented papers in this conference will be included in the special issues of the following international journals indexed by SCI/E and KCIE. We are planning to accept about many high quality papers for the this Symposium, and all of them, after presentation at the symposium, will be recommended for these special issues.
* Expected accept rate for SIs from full paper submissions: about 30~40 %
