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. Domain–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. 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.<br>While enabling technologies have evolved into mature and widely available<br>solutions, insights gathered from real–world sensor network deployments<br>are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network<br>applications persist. A thorough understanding of these challenges from a<br>practical/systems perspective is still necessary. 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.<br>This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and<br>industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. 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. We encourage contributions<br>describing innovative work in the realms of wireless sensor networks,<br>cyber–physical systems, smart spaces, machine–to–machine communication,<br>the Internet of Things, and all related disciplines. Topics of interest<br>include, but are not limited to:<br>– Practical experiences from innovative real–world sensor network deployments<br>and applications<br>– Hands–on experiences with the integration of sensor networks and the<br>Internet of Things<br>– Middleware support for sensor networks<br>– Programming and debugging sensor networks<br>– Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks<br>– Experiences with new sensor hardware and node/platform designs<br>– Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization<br>– Experiences with communications protocols for the IoT, M2M, or CPS<br>– Practical medium access control protocols (MACs)<br>– Topology control and routing protocols in sensor network deployments<br>– Novel communication paradigms for wireless sensor networks<br>– Mobility management in sensor applications and deployments<br>– Fault–tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks<br>– Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime<br>– Experiences with energy harvesters and energy–sustainable designs<br>– Deployment, installation, and configuration support<br>– Management of large–scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns<br>– Interconnection between IP and sensor networks<br>– Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices<br>– Large–scale open sensor data sets from real deployments<br>– Integration of wireless sensor networks with smart city infrastructures<br>– Real–world use of WSN platforms in smart spaces and cyber–physical systems<br>– Sensor networking for smart power grids<br>– Practical experiences with wearable sensing technologies<br>
