Overview

A typical wireless sensor network is expected to work without human
intervention for a long time period.  Hence, energy is of paramount
importance in wireless sensor networks in order to achieve maximum
network lifetime.  Due to the energy constraint of sensor devices,
wireless sensor network necessitates an energy-aware design to ensure
the longevity of the network. While most wireless sensor networks use
battery-operated computing and sensing devices, new technologies like
energy harvesting have been emerging and getting much attention in the
research community recently.  In addition, each layer of the protocol
stack can employ various techniques to conserve energy while the
hardware designs of motes can focus on extending its lifetime.  This
workshop intends to bring together the researchers working on
energy-related issues in wireless sensor network.

WEWSN will be held as a one-day workshop in conjunction with DCOSS '08,
co-locating with several related workshops on special topics, including
the Workshop on Localized Algorithms and Protocols for Wireless Sensor
Networks (LOCALGOS), the Workshop on Information Theory for Sensor
Networks (WITS), the Workshop on Sensor Network Engineering (IWSNE), the
Workshop on Wireless Sensor Network Deployments (WiDeploy). Therefore,
the workshop aims at providing an ideal venue for researchers to share
their ideas and discuss their latest research works.


Scope

Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished
manuscripts that demonstrate current research related to energy in
wireless sensor network. Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to, the following featured topics:
- Architectures for energy management
- Node deployment
- Sleep management algorithms
- Coverage and connectivity algorithms
- Energy models, conservation, optimization
- Energy and bandwidth efficient distributed signal processing  
algorithms
- Topology control
- Routing algorithm, data collection, congestion control, resource
management
- Energy scavenging, energy harvesting
- Medium access control, error control protocols
- Traffic management protocol
- Energy-efficient system services (e.g. localization, time
synchronization)
- WSN hardware and operating systems


Paper Submission Instructions

We only accept original papers that have neither been published nor
submitted for publication elsewhere.  Papers must be submitted in PDF
format.  Submissions have to conform to the IEEE-Transactions format and
should not exceed 7 pages.  All submissions will be handled
electronically via EasyChair
