The 2nd International Workshop on
Adaptation in Wireless Sensor Networks (AWSN-09)

http://tweb.ing.unipi.it/awsn09

In Conjunction with
The 7th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on
Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC 2009)

Vancouver, Canada, August 29-31, 2009
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS

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   and   ubiquitous   computing,  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.

* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Re-configurable, adaptive applications
* Context-awareness
* Self-healing, self-protection, self-configuration, self-optimization
* Agents and distributed computing
* Embedded Virtual machines
* Viral programming
* Opportunistic computing
* Intelligent power management and coverage
* Adaptive wireless communication and networks
* Security and fault-tolerance

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. Selected
papers of the workshop will be considered for a special issue in
International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems
(IJAACS, www.inderscience.com/ijaacs)

Please follow the submission instructions that will be  made  available
at the workshop's website (http://tweb.ing.unipi.it/awsn09)
