> 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.
