===========================================================

The 11st International Symposium on Wireless sensor network Technologies and Applications for Smart Space (WTA 2015) will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam, May 18-20, 2015. Smart spaces (SS) represents an advanced communication environment featuring daily-life objects that continuously involve and are focused on final non-expert users. SS has rapidly emerged as an exciting new paradigm that tends to include different active research fields such as ubiquitous, grid, and P2P
computing. SS environments have recently raised tremendous interests in both the academic and the industrial research communities as one of the most promising application fields for pervasive computing services.
The WTA 2015 aims to address system and network issues for SS communications. It will solicit both original research papers and review articles that enhance the state-of-the-art in these fields, including topics like effective context extraction and representation, context-based service discovery, context-based service composition, integration of legacy systems and services, security theory, business models, and novel applications that are associated with SS utilization. The papers will be peer reviewed by at least three independent reviewers and will be selected on the basis of their quality and relevance to the theme of this conference.

=======================
Submission Guidelines
=======================
There will be a combination of presentations including scientific papers. Prospective authors are invited, in the first instance, to submit papers for oral presentations in any of the areas of interest for this symposium.

First, authors should submit a paper with 5~6 pages in length, including all figures, tables, and references. If you want to submit more than page limitation, you can add up to 2 extra pages with the appropriate fee payment. (Springer LNCS format)

If your paper will be recommended to the SCI/E journals (after closing the symposium), the authors MUST submit full paper with 6~8 pages for the journal submission. We will send the official recommendation letter including journal submission instruction to all authors who presented in our symposium (the page limits are based on double column).


Symposium submission system:
http://www.editorialsystem.net/ft2015
**Authors MUST choose topic as “WTA 2015” at the submission system**.


======================================
Proceedings and Journal Publications
======================================
First, only all abstracts - one page will be included in symposium proceeding (without ISBN/ISSN).
We are expecting to accept only 20~30 high quality papers.
After closing the symposium, all accepted and presented papers in WTA 2015 will be recommended to SCI/E journals (Top ranked papers: 50%)
- Springer: JoS, CC & Hindawi: IJDSN, JoS.
