The main objective of this workshop is to share information on new and innovative research related to convergence technologies and applications in the areas of cloud computing and sensor networks. Many advanced techniques and applications in these two areas have been developed in the past few years. Sensor networks are becoming increasingly large and produce vast amounts of raw sensing data, which cannot be easily processed, analyzed, or stored using conventional computing systems. This indicates the requirement for large-scale computational and storage resources to extract useful and meaningful information from data produced by sensor networks for applications as diverse as military, medical, industrial, and smart space areas. Cloud computing is one promising technique of efficiently processing these sensing data to create useful services and applications. The convergence of cloud computing and sensor networks requires new and innovative infrastructure, middleware, designs, protocols, services, and applications.
Furthermore, we expect that the workshop and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject.
Papers presented in the CTACS 2012 will be published by Springer Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering(Indexed by Scopus), ISSN: 1876-1100, which will be indexed by EI & SCOPUS Compedex.
