Call for Papers
----------------------------

Sensors and sensor networks have unprecedented capabilities of building smart systems through sensing and monitoring applications, which provide tremendous benefits to the society. Wired as well as wireless sensors and sensor networks are active research topics in recent years due to their potential uses in diverse areas such as enhanced homeland security, conservation of natural resources, improved manufacturing productivity, improved emergency response, efficient energy utilization, food safety, automation of transportation systems, automatic environment and structure monitoring. Advances in sensors, sensor technologies and systems will help wide adaptation of sensors in all areas of our daily life.

ASTSA-2013 will serve as a forum for researchers from academia, government, industries, professionals, standard developers, policy makers, students and practitioners to exchange ideas, present new results and provide future visions of the impact sensors will have in our life.

Original technical papers on the advances in sensor technologies, systems and applications, as well as those that describe practical deployment and implementation experiences are solicited for presentation and publication.

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

Network topologies and architectures for sensor networks
Network protocols for sensor networks
Distributed sensor networks
Adaptive sensor networks
Sensor networks and cloud computing
Sensor networks for cognitive radio systems
Sensor network for vehicular ad hoc networks

Submision
-----------------

The authors are advised to submit their research paper following the Conference Publishing Service Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced, including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. Instructions for authors how to format the manuscript can be found at: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/

The papers should be 6 pages long. They will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. The papers should be submitted electronically through https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=astsa2013.

If there is any problem during submission please contact the workshop chairs.

Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance. Proceedings of the workshop along with the BWCCA-2013 will be published by Conference Publishing Service (CPS), will be included in Digital Library IEEExplore and will be indexed by most of the indexing systems.
