                                                       held in conjunction with 

                                          The Sixth International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN’07)

Overview:

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), that consist of thousands of low-cost sensor nodes, have been used in many promising applications, such as military surveillance, infrastructure protection, scientific exploration and smart environments. Researchers in this area have accumulated a large portfolio of network services and middleware, effectively addressing a wide range of individual research problems. However, because of the limited understanding on how to integrate these components effectively, we are facing an urgent and challenging question on how to build sensor network systems efficiently. To facilitate collaboration on and convergence of future sensor network software and protocol architecture, the International Workshop on Wireless Sensor Network Architecture is seeking novel ideas which specify the essential principles that guide sensor network software design. In particular, we are interested in architecture-level service and protocol interfaces, network function decomposition and partitioning, composition methodologies of software components, and high-level engineering of sensor network protocols. Observe that this workshop is not concerned with hardware architecture and component interfaces. This topic is more appropriate for SPOTS. Also, the workshop is not concerned with design of any specific protocols and middleware services. Such specific components are more appropriate for IPSN and/or SPOTS. Further, an important area of special interest is a general architecture for wide-area sensor networks that integrates homogeneous/heterogeneous geographically distributed sensor networks together seamlessly. Suggestions and architectural principles for a future world-wide sensor web are highly sought. We strongly encourage philosophical position papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage in their investigation.
