Wireless Sensor Networks: 5th European Conference, EWSN 2008, Bologna, Italy, January 30-February 1, 2008, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science (4913))

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th European Workshop on Wireless Sensor Networks, EWSN 2008, held in Bologna, Italy, in January/February 2008. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 110 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on localization, detection of space/time correlated events, network coding, ZigBee, topology, software, as well as deployment and application development.

Its scope was the creation of a forum where researchers with di?erent ex- rience and background could discuss cross-layer approaches, novel solutions for speci?c problems and envisage the future development of wireless sensor n- works (WSNs). Out of the 110 papers that were submitted, 23 were selected after a doub- blind peer-review process, leading to an acceptance rate of 21%. Six among the accepted papers included authors from North America, three from Asia, all others from Europe with the exception of one from Australia, and one from Brazil: the conference brought together researchers from almost all corners of the world! Demonstration and poster papers were also presented at the conference, of which separate proceedings were produced, under the supervision of the other TPC Co-chair, Zach Shelby from Sensinode ltd, who managed the reviews of these papers. The rangeoftopicscoveredby this conference, including communicationp- tocols, information processing, middleware, operating systems, hardware and?eld tests, is very wide. This made the vision of a coherent?nal technical p- gramme more di?cult, as few papers cover each of the various topics. But what made such a process even more challenging, is the intrinsic nature of WSNs, which is cross-layer and requires the joint consideration of many aspects when measuring or predicting the performance of a given algorithm, protocol, or te- nical solution
