International Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks and their Applications
In conjunction with
The Fourth International Conference on Networked Digital Technologies
(NDT 2012)
April 24-26, 2012

Workshop Aim and Scope 

The main objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers 
and technologists to present new and innovative research results in wireless 
sensor networks “WSNs” and their applications. There have been 
tremendous technological advances in the development of low-cost sensor 
devices equipped with wireless network interfaces. The design of large-scale 
sensor networks interconnecting several hundred to a few thousand sensor 
nodes has attracted considerable research attention. WSNs find applications 
spanning several domains including military, medical, industrial, and home 
networks. Some of the key challenges deal with the scalability of WSN 
communication and routing protocols to large number of nodes, design of 
simple and efficient protocols for different network operations, design of 
power-conserving protocols, design of data handling techniques including 
data gathering, data fusion and data dissemination, and development of 
exciting new applications that exploit the potential of WSNs.
