The Third IEEE International Conference on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous and Trustworthy Computing (SUTC2010) will be held in Newport Beach, California, USA on June 7-9, 2010.

The availability of small, low-cost and low-power sensors, radios, and micro-controllers has triggered a huge wave of research in networked embedded sensing systems. As a result, different research communities have emerged that work on related aspects, but have slightly different foci. The focus of the sensor network community is on energy-efficient systems and networking solutions. While these aspects are also fundamental for ubiquitous computing, the focus of the latter community is on user interaction. The currently emerging cyber-physical systems community emphasizes the integration of actuation and control. Despite these differences, the realization of the above visions involves a common fundamental challenge: The need for trustworthy computing solutions to deliver secure, private and reliable computing and communication services.

Due to popular demand, the early registration deadline of Sensys and the co-located BuildSys workshop have been extended
to October 15th.

============================================================
Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM, SIGMOBILE, SIGARCH, SIGOPS, SIGMETRICS,
SIGBED, NSF, iFive, Intel, Microsoft, ArchRock, SynapSense.

Researcher Carlo Alberto Boano, formerly at SICS, received the Bengt Asker Award for his thesis: Application Support Design for Wireless Sensor Networks (Zip 10 MB).

The award is given by The Swedish National Real-Time Association for the best Swedish master or final year thesis in the field of real-time and embedded systems.

The research work was conducted within the Center for Networked Systems. The author was jointly supervised by Pablo Suarez (Saab) and Thiemo Voigt (SICS).

Congratulations from the WSNBlog team!

ACM SenSys, the flagship conference in Sensor Networks, will he held in Berkeley, California on November 4-6 2009 and the program is now available. Among the novelties: the Keynote Address links to Google Research and their PowerMeter Project. Inspiring?

Participants to the CONET SENIOT Summer School held in Bertinoro, Italy, this summer had the opportunity to attend an interesting hands-on session with basic exercises with the Contiki Operating System for WSN. Material from the course is available online, you could download the slides from the presentation and session notes. The material is self consistent so you could try it out too!

Contiki, developed mostly at SICS since 2003, has reached a level of stability that is interesting to explore further and it also has a growing community of users. Earlier this month, two new ports were made avaialbe: Crosbow MicaZ and Sensinode, besides other platforms already supported.

Everything Contiki available here

SCOPE:

The International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) is a leading, single-track, annual forum on sensor network research.
IPSN brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent advances in both theoretical and experimental
research. Its scope includes signal and image processing, information and coding theory, databases and information management, distributed algorithms,
networks and protocols, wireless communications, machine learning, and embedded systems design.

The conference features two interleaved tracks, the Information Processing (IP) track, and the Sensor Platforms, Tools and Design Methods (SPOTS) track. The two tracks have separate program committees to evaluate their submissions. Authors should carefully review the intended foci of these two tracks to decide which track is better suited for their work, and they are encouraged to contact program chairs with questions or clarifications.

The Information Processing (IP) track focuses on algorithms, systems, theory for information processing using networks of embedded sensors.

First International Workshop the Web of Things (WoT 2010)
in conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2010), Mannheim, Germany

Paper submission deadline: October 18, 2009

Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2009
Camera-ready papers due: January 29, 2010

The world of embedded devices has experienced radical changes over the past few years as real-world objects can now easily connect to the Internet. This convergence of physical computing devices (wireless sensor networks, mobile phones, embedded computers, etc.) and the Internet provides new design opportunities and challenges. The Internet of Things has mainly focused on establishing connectivity in a variety of challenging and constrained networking environments, and the next logical step in the evolution in pervasive computing builds on top of network connectivity by focusing on the application layer: how to develop ubiquitous computing applications on top of heterogenous devices? The Web of Things is the vision that brings embedded devices into the Web by using Web standards as application protocol to interact with things. This workshop aims at bringing together the pervasive computing and Web communities to explore the possibilities for using the core principles and technologies of modern Web architecture (e.g., HTTP, REST, Atom, JSON) for seamless integration of things into the Web and developing applications on top of web-enabled devices (physical mashups).

Due to several requests the workshop deadline has been extended to August 27, 2009, 23:59 GMT. BuildSys will be held in conjunction with Sensys’09, Berkeley, CA.

The workshop solicits contributions that focus on the design of architectures that are capable of improving the global energy efficiency of buildings leveraging connected sensing systems, networks, and devices. Of particular interest is also the application of sensing and actuation technologies to distributed energy generation systems, i.e., systems to generate energy from federated small energy sources such as microgrids and local green energy sources.
