The ubiquitous nature of sensor networks has driven the development of smart and autonomous sensors. In addition to information processing, intelligent methods are being incorporated into the design, implementation and management of sensor networks. The resulting smart sensor networks are therefore able to meet the demand for autonomy and hence being adopted for a wide range of applications. This workshop will provide a forum for presenting and discussing the most recent advances in different aspects of smart sensor networks. The workshop will gather leading researchers from academics and industry to present their research and experiences from developing/deploying sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
• Actuation Methods
• Bio-Inspired Computing
• Cognitive Radio
• Control Mechanisms
• Cross-layer System Designs
• Data Fusion
• Detection, Estimation, and Tracking
• Human-Sensor Interactions
• Information Processing
• Internet of Things
• MAC Protocols
• Multi-objective Optimization
• Network Security
• Network Topology
• Performance Analysis
• Quality of Service
• Reasoning and Inference
• Resource Management
• Routing and Clustering Algorithms
• Sensing and Sampling Techniques
• Sensor Selection
• Smart Grids
• Smart Home Applications
• Wireless Video Networks

Manuscript Guidelines
Paper Submission Web: http://edas.info/ by clicking on IWSSN 2012
Paper Submission Email: Papers@cyberc.org
All submitted manuscripts should be prepared as technical papers and may not exceed 8 letter size (8.5 x 11) pages including figures, tables and references using the IEEE format for conference proceedings (print area of 6-1/2 inches (16.51 cm) wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.51 cm) high, two-column format with columns 3-1/16 inches (7.85 cm) wide with a 3/8 inch (0.81 cm) space between them, single-spaced 10-point Times fully justified text). For more information please see ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/ Outgoing/proceedings/. Submissions not conforming to these guidelines may be returned without review. The submitted manuscripts can be prepared in Word, or Latex using the IEEE templates, but authors should finally submit the manuscript in PDF format and make sure that the file will print on a printer that uses letter size (8.5 x 11) paper. The official language of the meeting is English.
Manuscript submission procedure is available over the Web at http://edas.info/. We encourage you to use edas online submission by selecting “IWSSN 2012”. If you have troubles in using the Web submission, you can also submit your paper to papers@cyberc.org or contact us. Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable PDF file.
Submitted manuscripts have to present the original unpublished research that is not currently under review for any other conference or journal. Papers not following these guidelines will be rejected without review and further action may be taken, including (but not limited to) notifications sent to the heads of the institutions of the authors and sponsors of the conference. Submissions received after the due date, exceeding length limit, or not appropriately structured may also not be considered.
Paper Acceptance
Manuscripts should present the current research in the areas identified in the call for papers. All submitted manuscripts will be reviewed by experts in the fields and will be judged from the aspects of problem significance, contributions, originality, correctness, technical strength, quality of presentation, and relevance to the conference attendees. Papers will be accepted with Regular Papers and Short Papers with maximal 8 pages and 4 pages in the final version respectively.
Publications
All accepted and presented papers, including the workshops’ papers, will be published by IEEE Computer Society’s Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and are included in the IEEE Xplore database. They will be further arranged for indexing through IEE INSPEC, EI (Compendex), and Thomson ISI. Authors of accepted papers, or at least one of them, should register and present their work at the conference, otherwise their papers will be removed from the digital libraries of IEEE Xplore and EI after the conference.
