Call for Papers

The 2009 International Workshop on Advanced Sensor Integration Technology 
(ASIT'09) will be held in conjunction with the First International 
Conference on Ad Hoc Networks (ADHOCNETS-09), September 23-25, 2009, 
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.

Recently, there is a growing interest in the design, development and 
deployment of sensor systems for applications of high-level inference, 
which leads to an increasing demand on interconnecting wireless sensor 
networks with other emerging technologies, such as RFID technology, 
Multimedia Based surveillance System, biomedical technology, mobile agent 
based networks, P2P technology and Business Process, etc. With sensor 
technology being incorporated into these technologies, demands from more 
and more autonomous and intelligent applications can be met.

This workshop is intended to provide a forum for presenting, exchanging 
and discussing the most recent advances in different aspects of integrating 
wireless sensor networks with emerging technologies. In particular, this 
workshop will bring together leading researchers, industry professionals, 
and research students to study the applications, architectures, protocols, 
models, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of the advanced sensor 
integration technology. 

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* Sensor Integration with RFID technology:
  ， Novel architecture for integrating RFID and wireless sensor networks
  ， RFID based wireless sensor networks
  ， Ubiquitous RFID and sensor networks
  ， Intelligent applications for RFID and Wireless Sensor Networks
* Sensor Integration with Multimedia Based surveillance System:
  ， Multi-camera system algorithms and applications
  ， Multimedia aggregation and fusion in video sensor networks
  ， Testbed and experimental studies for video sensor networking
  ， Real-time and reliable video transmission over WSNs

* Sensor Integration with biomedical technology:
  ， Wireless sensor networks in E-heathcare
  ， Health Care and Medical Applications for wireless body area sensor networks
  ， Body sensor networks
* Sensor Integration with mobile agent technology:
  ， Middleware design for mobile agent based wireless sensor networks
  ， Novel itinerary plan for mobile agent in wireless sensor networks
  ， Agent-based architectures for WSNs
  ， Agents design issues dealing with reliability, efficiency, and fault tolerance
  ， Mobile agent based intelligent sensory data fusion
* Sensor Integration with P2P technology:
  ， P2P based diverse sensor networks integration
  ， P2P based sensor networks resource discovery
  ， P2P based worldwide sensor networks sharing
* Sensor Integration with Business Process:
  ， Novel middleware design for sensor networks assisted business process
  ， Integrating sensor networks with business process
  ， Sensor networks based context aware business process management
* Sensor Integration with Semantic Technology:
  ， Semantic descriptions of sensors and sensor data
  ， Semantic data integration of heterogeneous sensor network data streams
  ， Semantic Sensor Web applications, architectures, middleware, and languages
  ， Sharing, annotation, and (distributed) management of sensor data

figures and tables. 
For paper format guidelines, please refer: http://www.adhocnets.org/2009/subm.html

ASIT 2009 will use ASSYST for paper submission and management. To submit your paper:

    * Go to the ASSYST login page.
    * If you have a ASSYST account, you can log in by clicking the "Login" link at 
      the upper right corner. Otherwise, click the "Register" link in the page to 
      create your ASSYST account.
    * After logging in, click the "Submit paper" tab on the top.
    * Find the "ASIT 2009" row, and click the "Submit a paper" link in that row.
    * In the next page, you will see the conference information. Click the 
      "Submit a paper" link.
    * Choose one of the following three categories for your paper: 
      Full Paper, Short Paper, and Invited Paper.
    * Enter the title, abstract and topic information for your paper, and click "Next."  
      Please choose one Primary Topic and one or two Secondary Topics for your paper. 
      These topics will help us to assign your paper to the TPC member with the right 
      expertise and interest.
    * On the next page you will see the information you have just entered. Verify it, 
      and if correct, click "Submit." If the information is not correct, click on the 
      Back button of your browser and go back to the previous screen.
    * You can then upload your paper and modify the details of your submission if needed.

Each submission should be regarded as an undertaking that, if the paper 
be accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the conference to 
present the work. Accepted papers will be published in proceedings of 
the ADHOCNETS-09 conference by IEEE Computer Society.
