                    CALL FOR PAPERS - InterSense 2006
1st International Conference on Integrated Internet Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks
                      Nice, FRANCE, May 29-31, 2006

SCOPE
-----
The InterSense 2006 conference seeks to provide an opportunity for
researchers from computer science, engineering and mathematical
backgrounds to disseminate and exchange knowledge in the rapidly
emerging field of future heterogeneous supernetworks where ad hoc and
sensor wireless networks will be integrated into wired and/or wireless
fixed infrastructure. The integration of ad hoc and sensor networks
with the Internet and wireless infrastructure networks increases the
network capacity, coverage area and application domain. In the future
interconnection framework for wireless sensor and ad hoc networks,
internetworking is not simply a way to transport information from and
to remote hosts. The foreseen degree of integration reaches the upper
levels of the stack, where one network will offer services to others
(including communication services). In the 'sensors to wideband'
integrated heterogeneous architecture, even sensor networks component
may be heterogeneous, consisting of sensors with varied
functionalities and capabilities. This architecture may include an ad
hoc network of actors, capable of monitoring the sensor network
deployment and acting to increase the network utility. In the emerging
area of ubiquitous computing, networked small embedded devices with
sensing capabilities will play a key role. Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) shows a great potential for identification of
static and mobile objects and poses numerous questions regarding their
implementation, capability, performance, reliability and integration
with other technologies. 

The conference will comprehensively cover physical, data link, network
and transport layers, as well as application, security, simulation and
power management issues in integrated and heterogeneous networks,
including sensor, local area, satellite, vehicular, personal, and
mobile ad hoc networks. 

Possible topics of interests include, but are not limited to: 
    * integration with wired networks, wireless Internet,
    * autonomic systems,
    * database systems, operating systems,
    * time synchronization and calibration,
    * position determination, service and location discovery,
    * sensor area coverage, data-centric operations,
    * addressing, location and mobility management,
    * data communication, routing and broadcasting protocols,
    * traffic engineering and multimedia, Quality of Service (QoS),
    * resource management and scheduling,
    * cross layer protocol design,
    * RFID technologies,
    * ubiquitous sensor networks,
    * embedded and ubiquitous computing,
    * algorithmic solutions and complexity,
    * topology control, scalability,
    * operating systems and middleware,
    * performance evaluation, testbeds, modeling and simulation.
