Scope of The Workshop
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, academics, scholars to the forefront of research activity on smart Wireless Sensor Networks. The specific profile of this session is to promote the state-of-the-art in scientific and practical research of the sensors technologies and examine the research opportunities and applications. The workshop is an excellent opportunity to present the current challenges and future opportunities in building smart sensor networks and new wireless architectures in an efficient and sustainable way. Overall the goal is to provide a thorough overview of the main topics about smart sensors technologies and their envisioned integration.
International speakers from academia and industry will give lectures tailoring their research field for an interdisciplinary audience. During the workshop, a dedicated discussion panel will bring into focus the collaboration between academia and industry in order to depict the future vision of smart sensors. Participants from the fields of computer sciences, information systems and communication technology will find an excellent opportunity to participate in interdisciplinary discussions, set up new networks and exchange information on a professional level. This workshop will allow participants to be exposed to cutting edge results in one of the most challenging research area, while at the same time enjoying the relaxing atmosphere of Cambridge city.

• Information extraction technologies
• Languages and operating systems of sensors
• WSN for the Internet of Things
• Routing and data transfer, data aggregation and data compression techniques
• Cryptography, security management and privacy issues in WSN
• Data gathering, processing, and communication
• RFID sensors and sensor tags
• Application scenarios and real-world deployments for smart cities
• Applications: wearable technologies, visual sensing technologies, smart
environments, smart roads and context-aware applications
• Smart sensors for localization and tracking
• Smart wireless sensors for harsh environments, environmental, health, home and
commercial applications
• Wireless sensors applications in wearable computing and body area nets
• Wireless integrated sensors, front-ends, and building blocks
Prospective authors should submit by using the online submission platform, a regular (10-12 pages including references) or experience (6-9 pages including references) paper. The submissions should be written in English and strictly adhering to the specified format to be considered for reviewing and publication.
