2nd International Workshop on Smart Sensor Networks and Applications ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(WSSNA'18)
Held in conjunction with International Conference on Future Networks and Distributed Systems (ICFNDS 2018)
In the last years, the progress in wireless networks have subjected to a tremendous upsurge. Recent advances in microelectronic systems and wireless communications have made it feasible to produce smart and tiny sensor nodes with sensing, computation and communication capabilities. The need of these embedded sensing and communication devices has spurred a significant amount of research in wireless sensor networks. WSN is one of the emerging technologies that would change the world and expedite the development of many applications. The attractiveness of WSN resides in its capability of providing distributed and real-time interaction with the physical environment. This leads it to become an inevitable technology in our live and important key for many recent paradigms such as Internet of Things and Smart Cities.
The aim of this event is to bring together researchers, academics, scholars to the forefront of research activity on smart wireless sensor networks. The specific profile of this workshop is to promote the state-of-the-art in scientific and practical research of sensors technologies and wireless sensor ad-hoc networks 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. The goal is to provide a thorough overview of the main ideas and 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 Amman city.
The first edition of WSSNA workshop was held at The Møller Centre, Churchill College, University of Cambridge, UK.
