EWSN 2015 - 12th European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks

The European Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks (EWSN) is a highly selective single-track international conference focused on publishing premier research results pertaining to networked sensing, broadly defined.
The organizers of EWSN 2015, the twelfth meeting in this series, are pleased to announce an updated scope that combines the traditional focus of this conference with emphasis on recent and emerging directions in networked sensing. These new and emerging directions include (i) study of networked sensing in the broader context of larger cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things architectures, (ii) investigation of mobile and human-centric sensing, (iii) exploration of large-scale data and information processing challenges.
With that in mind, EWSN 2015 welcomes contributions describing original ideas, promising new concepts, and practical experiences (experimental validation, rebuttal, and/or comparison of existing approaches) that fall broadly in the following topics:
Wireless sensor networks and protocols:
Communication and network protocols
Information and signal processing
Software engineering for wireless sensor networks
Programming abstractions and tools
Hardware design and implementation
Sensor network operating systems and resource management
Cognitive sensor networks
Sensor network applications and services:
Sensing in cyber-physical systems
Internet of Things
Cooperative object architectures
Novel uses of sensor data, including healthcare, body area networks, vehicular applications, and smart buildings
Localization and tracking services
Security and fault tolerance
Sensor network middleware
Models, systems, and experiences with humans as sensors
Human-centric sensing:
Crowd-sourcing/crowd-sensing challenges
Mobile sensing
Smart phone sensing applications
Opportunistic, participatory, and social sensing
Big (sensor) data challenges:
Large-scale information processing, learning, mining, and analysis of sensor data
Challenges in sensor data stream processing
Networked data fusion challenges
Prototypes, testbeds, field experiments
For EWSN 2015 we will also introduce a smaller paper format for validated early ideas that can be described by a more concise contribution. Therefore, we solicit two types of original submissions for oral presentation: full papers (16-pages) and short papers (8 pages).
Paper submission
This highly selective conference will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by any other conference or journal. We will adopt a double-blind review process, where the names of authors and their affiliations are unknown to reviewers until the end of the review process.
Conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS). Submissions should have a maximum of 16 pages (full papers) or 8 pages (short papers), including text, figures and references, and conform to the LNCS style (http://www.springer.com/lncs).
