Sensor networks are an enabling technology of Ambient Intelligence. The pervasive nature of unobtrusive sensors distributed in the environment, either embedded or transportable by mobile carriers, enables fine-grain capture of environmental or ambient information that provides the basis of intelligence for higher-order cognitive systems, i.e. systems with capabilities to perceive, reason, learn, and react intelligently to their environment. Such systems in turn are envisioned to have wide ranging applications from intelligent wildlife and building structure monitoring, to humanistic and social endeavors such as health and elderly care service provisioning.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from academia and industry to discuss recent research and technology advances in related areas, and from such engagement to foster or stimulate innovations in cross-disciplinary designs and methodologies in the fields of both sensor networks and ambient intelligence. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Cognitive wireless sensor networks
  • Cooperative and distributed sensor localization
  • Context-aware reasoning and inference for sensor/RFID-based systems
  • Intelligence support for sensor network management
  • Sensor networking in heterogeneous wireless environments
  • Sensor data fusion for ubiquitous embedded computing
  • Ambient intelligence system architectures, applications, and services
  • Testbed implementation and experimental trials

Important Dates

Paper submission due: July 21, 2008 (extended)
Acceptance notification: August 28, 2008
Camera-ready due: September 5, 2008
Workshop date: December 1, 2008

Authors Instructions

Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience are solicited. All paper submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair. Please prepare your paper following the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines, which is available here. Maximum page length of accepted papers will be limited to 6 pages with main body text printed on 10 point font. Authors may download the following Word template or LaTeX style files to typeset their manuscripts. Submission of a paper implies that should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and present the paper in the workshop.

Proceedings

All accepted papers will be included in conference proceedings of PDCAT'08, which will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and automatically included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. The proceedings will also be cited by Engineering Information (EI). At least one author of an accepted paper must register at the conference site and present the paper at the workshop.

Selected best papers would be considered for publication in a special issue of the Inderscience International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communication Systems.
