IWASN draws upon many disciplines including signal and information processing, communication and information theory, networking and protocols, distributed and wireless computing, cooperative computing, array processing, machine learning, embedded systems design and information management. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Experimental and Practical Sensor Networks Security and Manageability in Sensor Networks Application-oriented Sensor Networks Physical, Data-link and Network Layers as well as Cross-layer Designs for Sensor Networks Novel Infrastructure-less Sensor Networks Autonomous Sensor Networks Communications and Scalability of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) Localisation, Tracking and Surveillance Power Management Antenna Arrays in WSN Arrayed Wireless Sensor Networks Node Collaboration and Array Processing in Sensor Networks Application-specific Node Selection in WSN Channel Modelling and Transceiver Design in WSN Distributed Coding and Information Theory Distributed and Collaborative Signal Processing Network Coding and MIMO Techniques Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Sensor Networks Distributed Inference and Fusion Distributed and Localised Computing Quality of Service Provisioning in WSN Resource Management in WSN Computational Geometry and Graph Theory in Sensor Networks Topology Control and Coverage Network Connectivity and Longevity Real Time Routing and Scheduling Protocols Self-organizing Sensor Networks and Autonomic Communications Energy-efficient Algorithm and Protocol Design Advanced Scalability Issues Fault-tolerant Issues Experimentation and Practical Issues Applications and Demonstrations Why should you participate in this workshop? Sensor networks have been an active research area in recent years. As more and more practical applications of sensor networks continue to emerge, the advances of sensor networks start to attract new interest. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communications. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged. Workshop Registration Registration for the workshop will be handled through the registration process of Mobiquitous. How to submit a paper? Paper submission will be handled electronically by the COCUS Conference Management System. In order to submit a paper you must first create a COCUS account. Please go to the COCUS website: http://cocus.create-net.it/cocus/ Click on “Register”. Once you have an account, login and click on “Events’ list”. Scroll down to find “The 1st International Workshop on Advances in Sensor Networks”. Choose the “Submit a paper” link. Once the paper has been registered, please upload the manuscript by clicking “submit” on the right-hand side. After the paper has been uploaded successfully, the status of the manuscript will change to "submitted", and you will also receive a confirmation email generated by the system. Questions regarding the submission procedures can be sent to our email address: victor.li@imperial.ac.uk. Formatting Guidelines Authors should prepare an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of their full paper. Papers must be in English and not exceed 8 pages double column in IEEE conference format (US Letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures, tables and references. The font size must be 10 points. Please follow the IEEE conference paper format as given in these templates: MS Word, LaTeX (Unix), or LaTeX (MS Windows). See sample manuscript as a visual aid for formatting and styles.
