<P>Sensor networks are the focus of a worldwide, multidisciplinary community of scientists and engineers. The possibility of using small and inexpensive sensor nodes to create flexible and robust networks for gathering information is central to this vibrant field. Research is being undertaken to develop new networking methods, efficient power management strategies, and novel sensing and localization technologies. In addition, researchers are working to overcome challenges related to the use of sensor networks in a vast array of application scenarios. </P> <P>The IASTED International Symposium on Distributed Sensor Networks (DSN 2008) will be a place for these researchers to gather, exchange ideas, and discuss new directions in the area of sensor networks. It will bring together experts in fields such as networking, power management, distributed computation, remote sensing, environmental monitoring, and embedded systems. All papers submitted to this conference will be double–blind reviewed by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution.</P> <P><B>Keywords:</B> <FONT size=2></P> <H3 class=article> <TABLE> <TBODY> <TR> <TD style=″VERTICAL–ALIGN: top; WIDTH: 33%″> <H3 class=article>ALGORITHM AND PROTOCOL</H3> <UL> <LI>Cross–layer design <LI>Data aggregation <LI>Distributed algorithms and complexity analysis <LI>Genetic algorithms <LI>Localization <LI>Medium access control protocols <LI>Mesh and opportunistic networks <LI>Mobile sensor networks <LI>Mobility support <LI>Multi–query optimization <LI>Multiscale communication in sensor networks <LI>Network architectures for sensor networks <LI>Protocols for sensor networks <LI>Redundancy <LI>RFID <LI>Routing and transport protocol <LI>Self–healing and self–configuration of networks <LI>Sensor–actor networks <LI>Sensor tracking <LI>SoC and SiP with integrated sensors <LI>Target tracking <LI>Time synchronization <LI>Trends in technology and standards </LI></UL> <H3 class=article>SECURITY</H3> <UL> <LI>Base station security management <LI>Encryption algorithm <LI>Information processing <LI>Integrity control <LI>Location and mobility <LI>Mechanisms for authentication <LI>QoS <LI>Reconfigurability <LI>Security and encryption <LI>Sensor security </LI></UL> <H3 class=article>PERFORMANCE EVALUATION</H3> <UL> <LI>Modeling and validation of sensor network architectures <LI>Monitoring tools <LI>Performance comparison on capacity, coverage and connectivity <LI>Performance measurement <LI>Simulation and theoretical analysis <LI>Tracing and trace analysis </LI></UL></TD> <TD style=″VERTICAL–ALIGN: top; WIDTH: 33%″> <H3 class=article>SYSTEM</H3> <UL> <LI>Bandwidth management <LI>Data storage and retrieval <LI>Embedded systems <LI>Energy efficiency <LI>Energy efficient hierarchical clustering <LI>Fault tolerance and reliability <LI>Image registration for sensor fusion <LI>Middleware design <LI>Optimal sensor fusion <LI>Power management <LI>Scalability <LI>System debugging and testing <LI>System implementation <LI>Trade–off analysis <LI>Traffic scheduling </LI></UL> <H3 class=article>HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE</H3> <UL> <LI>Battery technology <LI>Embedded chip design <LI>Operating system <LI>Programming abstraction <LI>Programming and Interfacing <LI>Sensor interfaces and placement <LI>Software tools for chip programming <LI>Topology control <LI>Transceiver and antenna design <LI>Ubiquitous and ambient networks </LI></UL> <H3 class=article>APPLICATIONS</H3> <UL> <LI>Application evaluation and comparison <LI>Application of ad–hoc and sensor networks <LI>Application requirements <LI>Demos and prototype testing <LI>Potential application areas </LI></UL></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></H3></FONT>
