3rd Workshop on Ultra-Low Power Sensor Networks (WUPS
2013)
Call for Papers
Program
The workshop [1] will be held in conjunction with ARCS (Architecture
of Computing Systems) [2] on Wednesday, 20 February 2013 at Hotel DAP, V’těznŽ n‡m. 684/4, 160 00 Prague, Czech Republic.
Ultra-low power sensor networks have gained importance these last few years
due to a vast set of applications e.g. in automotive systems, in smart
buildings and health-care monitoring. Sensor networks often need to operate
autonomously without wired connection for long periods of time. To allow long
maintenance cycles, two main strategies are common: Firstly, they should be
able to operate on a long-lived battery or other means of energy sources, e.g.
energy harvesting strategies. Secondly, ultra-low power approaches are used to
consume as little energy as possible. The workshop is intended to give a good overview of
current work in this area and problems and solutions in specific industry use
cases.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Design methodologies for
ultra-low power embedded systems
Power consumption estimation
techniques
Energy harvesting:
technologies and models
Simulation frameworks for
wireless sensor networks
Power manager
Wake-up radio technologies
Low-power radio front ends
Energy-efficient communication
protocols
Cross layer techniques
Applications of ultra-low
power sensor networks: building automation, smart homes, smart cities, etc.
Industry submissions showing current state of the art
are especially welcome.
Paper length should be between 4 and 6 pages. Layout instructions for
authors can be found at [3]. Papers must be submitted using the upload system
at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wups2013
For ARCS 2013 participants the workshop is included in the conference fee;
for participation in the workshop alone, there will be a reduced fee.
Important dates:
Paper submission deadline: 10.12.2012
Acceptance notification: 11.01.2013
Camera-ready deadline: 18.01.2013
