International Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks Architectures, Simulation and Programming (WASP’09)

Download the call for papers (txt, pdf).

The First International Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks Architectures, Simulation and Programming (WASP’09)  aims to be a forum where researchers and practitioners address the challenges in the design, development and evaluation of architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks applications.

WASP’09 is a workshop addressed to scientists and researchers with interest on architectures and high-level programming abstractions which look for easing the applications development process for Wireless Sensor Networks.  As the Wireless Sensor Networks are getting major maturity, it is necessary to think about different programming techniques which facilitate applications portability and rapid development in the application level. 

The wokshop will focus specially on the high-level programming abstractions, simulation and new programming techniques and algorithms for Wireless Sensor Networks.
