1st International Workshop on Sensor Networks and Ambient Intelligence
In conjuction with PDCAT'08

December 1-4, 2008, Dunedin, New Zealand

Call for Papers
Sensor networks is 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 endevours 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

Manuscript submission
Papers reporting original and unpublished research results and experience 
are solicited. All paper submissions will be handled electronically via 
EasyChair. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author 
Guidelines to prepare your papers. Maximum page length of accepted papers 
will be limited to 6 pages with main body text printed on 10 point font. 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).

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

Important dates
Paper submission due    : July 21, 2008 (extended)
Acceptance notification : August 25, 2008
Camera-ready due        : September 1, 2008
