Call for Papers

First International Workshop Intelligent Agents in Wireless Sensor Networks (IA-WSN), which is organized in conjunction with the IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Intelligent Agent Technology, IAT'06, Hong Kong, December 18, 2006.

Recent developments of low-cost, low-power, multifunctional wireless sensors have enabled the fast growth of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) applications, which include security, military, agriculture, automation, environmental and habitat monitoring. A combination of the WSNs, AI techniques, and intelligent agents can provide continuous real-time monitoring that is precise, accurate, reliable, as well as inexpensive.

This half-day workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on different aspects of wireless sensor networks and software agent technology in an effort to highlight the state-of-the-art and discuss the challenges and opportunities to explore new research directions. We encourage contributions that describe innovative work and results on IA-WSN.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Adaptive agents in wireless sensor networks

• Agent-based architectures for WSNs

• Applications of wireless sensor networks

• Distributed management systems for WSNs

• Intelligent data fusion and aggregation

• Intelligent query and data dissemination

• Intelligent systems for WSNs

• Learning agents in wireless sensor networks

• Monitoring agents in wireless sensor networks

• Peer-to-Peer systems for WSNs

• Reliable routing techniques

• Robust protocols

• Safe transmissions of data in WSNs

• Smart approaches for data managements for WSNs

• Smart energy-efficient routing protocols

• Mobile agents in WSNs

• Agent security, trust in WSNs

• Agents design issues dealing with reliability, efficiency, and fault tolerance
