Proceedings of the 1st ACM international workshop on Wireless sensor networks and applications

摘要: It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to attend the First ACM International Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks and Applications (WSNA 2002), held in Atlanta, September 28, 2002. WSNA 2002, sponsored by SIGMOBILE, conjunction MobiCom 2002 conference. This workshop a forum discuss latest findings wireless sensors, communication protocols, applications of sensor networks.There has been tremendous technological advances development low-cost devices equipped network interfaces. The design large-scale networks interconnecting several hundred few thousand nodes attracted considerable research attention. Most funding agencies already have programs new initiatives or are planning their applications. find spanning domains including military, medical, industrial, home networks. Some key challenges deal scalability protocols large number nodes, simple efficient for different operations, power-conserving data handling techniques querying, mining, fusion dissemination, exciting exploit potential networks.The objective this provide researchers technologists present innovative results We were very pleased interest enthusiasm participate Technical Program Committee help us put together excellent program. received over 60 submissions each paper was reviewed at least three program committee members, some assistance from external reviewers. Due time space constraints, could accept only fifteen papers - regrettably, not good quality papers. technical includes these 15 organized into four single-track sessions. take opportunity thank members reviewers outstanding efforts.The success depends contributions many individuals. would like Prof. Ty Znati Mehmet Ulema, Workshops Co-Chair, encouragement support organizational matters, Ian Aykildiz, General Chair. greatly indebted Surendar Chandra, who did superb job web based submission system website also local arrangements. Chandra Dr. Erdal Cayirci efforts publicizing through various on-line mailing lists other means. staff SIGMOBILE office timely help. Finally, behalf Committee, extend our gratitude authors, session chairpersons, contributed Workshop.
