    SCOPE

    Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are fast emerging as a new sensing
    paradigm based on the collaborative effort of large number of sensors
    deployed close to or inside the phenomenon to be observed, and have the
    potential of providing diverse services to numerous applications. The
    realization of WSNs require intensive technical research efforts
    especially in power aware scalable wireless ad hoc communications
    protocols due to their unusual application requirements and unique
    constraints such as
    - WSNs are generally composed of large number of nodes that have limited
      computational and storage capacity.
    - In many applications, sensor nodes are expected to be randomly scattered
      in unreachable regions.
    - The lifetime of a sensor network is generally limited to the battery
      lifetime of sensor nodes.

    SNPA 2003 is intended to provide a forum for researchers to present their
    contributions as technical papers related to communication protocols for
    WSNs, data management, access, aggregation and fusion techniques, and
    sensor network applications. The papers solicited in SNPA 2003 cover a
    variety of topics including but not limited to:

    - Communication protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks at all layers
    - Novel sensor network applications and services
    - Self organizing and scalable sensor network architectures
    - Software platforms and tools for sensor network application development
    - Energy efficient medium access control, error control, and traffic
      management protocols
    - Energy efficient system services such as localization and time
      synchronization
    - Robust distributed algorithms for collaborative processing
    - Mechanisms, protocols and algorithms for authenticated, secure
      communication
    - Application specific network and system services, including data-centric
      routing, attribute based addressing and location management
    - Data querying and dissemination
    - Data compression, association, aggregation and fusion

    SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

    The papers should confirm with http://www.icc2003.com/Author1.html
    ICC 2003 paper format and can be up to 11 pages long.
    Authors should submit a PDF version of their paper to [email protected].
