SensorFusion'07 Call For Paper


+-------------------------------------------------------------+
            Call for Papers  SensorFusion?7
 
             October 12, 2007, Pisa, Italy
     Website - http://cs.acadiau.ca/~shussain/sensorfusion

+-------------------------------------------------------------+
SensorFusion'07 is the Second International Workshop on Information Fusion and 
Dissemination in Wireless Sensor Networks, which is organized in conjunction with
the Fourth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems,
http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mass2007/.
-------------
 Description
-------------
The convergence of the Internet, wireless communications, and information processing 
technologies with techniques for miniaturization has opened up new vistas of research
for sensor networks. Emerging technologies for sensing and pervasive computing have
placed sensor networks at the threshold of a period of major growth. It has extended
information fusion and dissemination in sensor networks from data aggregation, association
and monitoring of interactions among hardware and software entities in ubiquitous computing
environments to intelligent information processing for the next generation wireless internet.
For the emerging hybrid sensor networks, information fusion can help in the seamless
integration of smart sensors and actuators, devices and capabilities, software and hardware
agents, sensor network applications and sensor nodes, distributed and collaborative
algorithms, different communication technologies, different networking architectures, etc.,
all over wireless or wire-line backbones.
The aim of this workshop is to provide a focal point for recent advances in this 
foundational area of information fusion and dissemination for sensor networks across
different paradigms, disciplines and technologies.
