1ª Conferência Nacional de Redes de Sensores 

1st Portuguese Conference on Wireless Sensor Networks 

March 3-4, 2011, Coimbra, Portugal 

http://cnrs2011.uc.pt/

Despite the considerable research effort in the area of wireless sensor networks in the past decade, and the maturity of some of its base technologies, many challenges persist. The goal of the 1st Portuguese National Conference on Sensor Networks (CNRS 2011) is to present high-quality results in the field, both at national and international levels, and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context, the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. For CNRS 2011, we invite papers describing original, previously unpublished research results pertaining to wireless sensor networks, broadly conceived.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Hardware Design and Implementation

• Operating Systems and Runtime Environments

• Middleware and Programming

• Communication and Network Protocols

• Information and Signal Processing

• Data Processing and Management

• Fundamental Theroetical Limits and Algorithms

• Prototypes, Field Experiments, Testbeds

• Novel Sensing Applications

• Fault-Tolerance

• Security 

• Mobility

• Simulation

Full Papers Submission Information:

The working language of the conference is English. This conference will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review by any other conference or journal. We will adopt a blind review process, where authors' names and their affiliations must not be revealed or mentioned anywhere in the paper. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and not exceed 12 single-space pages using Times New Roman 11 font or equivalent, including text, figures and references. The proceedings will be published by the University of Coimbra.
