Abstract

For more than a decade, embedded wireless sensors and actuators have been<br>increasingly networked to continually narrow the gap between the physical<br>world and cyberspace&#046; Domain&#8211;specific sensing deployments in scenarios<br>like industrial settings and home automation are becoming more and more<br>ubiquitous, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms which<br>allow for the seamless integration of sensing devices into everyday<br>environments&#046; At the same time, data gathered through wireless sensor<br>network deployments empower applications in the emerging domains of smart<br>cities and smart infrastructures&#046;<br>While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available<br>solutions, insights gathered from real&#8211;world sensor network deployments<br>are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network<br>applications persist&#046; A thorough understanding of these challenges from a<br>practical/systems perspective is still necessary&#046; This especially applies<br>to insights from the areas of hardware platforms of sensor and actuator<br>nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes, and fresh<br>perspectives from field trials and applications&#046;<br>This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and<br>industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback&#046; It serves as a forum<br>for the sensing network research communities working on embedded sensing<br>systems to discuss open issues, novel solutions, and the future<br>development of wireless sensing in general&#046; We encourage contributions<br>describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks,<br>cyber&#8211;physical systems, smart spaces, machine&#8211;to&#8211;machine communication,<br>the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines&#046; Topics of interest<br>include, but are not limited to:<br>&#8211; Practical experiences from innovative real&#8211;world sensor network deployments<br>and applications<br>&#8211; Hands&#8211;on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the<br>Internet of Things<br>&#8211; Middleware support for sensor networks<br>&#8211; Programming and debugging sensor networks<br>&#8211; Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks<br>&#8211; Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs<br>&#8211; Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization<br>&#8211; Experiences with communications protocols for the IoT, M2M, or CPS<br>&#8211; Practical medium access control protocols (MACs)<br>&#8211; Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments<br>&#8211; Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks<br>&#8211; Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments<br>&#8211; Fault&#8211;tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks<br>&#8211; Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime<br>&#8211; Experiences with energy harvesters and energy&#8211;sustainable designs<br>&#8211; Deployment, installation, and configuration support<br>&#8211; Management of large&#8211;scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns<br>&#8211; Interconnection between IP and sensor networks<br>&#8211; Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices<br>&#8211; Large&#8211;scale open sensor data sets from real deployments<br>&#8211; Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures<br>&#8211; Real&#8211;world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber&#8211;physical systems<br>&#8211; Sensor networking for smart power grids<br>&#8211; Practical experiences with wearable sensing technologies<br>
