===================================================================
          CALL FOR PAPERS
*****  EXTENDED DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 7, 2008 *****
===================================================================

The 2008 International Workshop on Adaptation in Wireless Sensor
Networks (AWSN-08)
http://tweb.ing.unipi.it/awsn08

to be held in conjunction with
The 2008 International Conference on Intelligent Pervasive Computing
(IPC-08)
(http://ipc2008.he.nias.ac.jp/)
Sydney, Australia, December 10-12, 2008

Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society
===================================================================
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are networked embedded systems that rely
on wireless communication. WSNs are supposed to run long-lived
applications. During operation, applications are likely to experience
unpredictable environment conditions that require to dynamically change
their behavior. With current reprogramming technology, such an
adaptation is still an open issue, as it can be achieved either at the
expense of significant energy consumption or through software
complexity. The challenge is to achieve WSN systems that not only embed
intelligence into environments, but also have embedded intelligence for
reprogramming themselves after their deployment.

The workshop aims at stimulating researchers and practitioners in
embedded software, autonomic computing, ad-hoc networking and all other
relevant areas to present their ideas and work in progress for advancing
the technologies that enable adaptive WSN applications. The expected
number of participants will be 15.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

   * Re-programming techniques
   * Self-healing, self-protection, self-configuration,self-optimization
   * Intelligent power management and coverage
   * Virtual machines
   * Opportunistic computing
   * Adaptive networking protocols
   * Viral programming
   * Security
   * Design and deployment of adaptive applications

PAPER SUBMISSION
The program committee encourage original, high-quality submissions from
researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. All papers
will be reviewed according to their originality, significance,
correctness, presentation and relevance.
Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society
in the combined IPC 2008 workshops proceedings.
Please follow the submission instructions that will be made available at
the workshop's website.
