Research and applications in wireless sensor networks (WSN) and cloud
computing (CC) continue to grow. The integration of sensor networks and
cloud computing play a vital role in the advancement of modern sensor
technology with the strength of cloud computing. The aim of sensor cloud
(SC) is to make the sensed and processed data accessible from distributed
networks. With sensor clouds, large-scale data can be collected, processed,
and shared among multiple networks. Sensor cloud raises many research and
practical challenges such as event processing and management, real time
data processing, large scale computing infrastructure and frameworks, and
harvesting collective intelligence.



All accepted papers will be printed in the conference proceedings published
by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series
on-line. Procedia Computer Sciences is hosted on www.Elsevier.com and on
Elsevier content platform ScienceDirect (http://www.sciencedirect.com), and
will be freely available worldwide. All papers in Procedia will also be
indexed by Scopus (http://www.scopus.com) and Engineering Village (Ei) (
http://www.engineeringvillage.com). This includes EI Compendex (
http://www.ei.org/compendex). All accepted papers will also be indexed in
DBLP (http://dblp.uni-trier.de/).



The goal of SC 2013 workshop is to bring together multi-disciplinary
researchers, professionals and practitioners from academia and industry who
are involved in the fields of both wireless sensor networks and cloud
computing areas to discuss recent advances and innovative ideas in these
fields. SC workshop solicits papers on either completed or ongoing research
in the following and related topics of interests include (but not limited
to):



•         Mobility in Sensor Clouds

•         Monitoring techniques/mechanism for Sensor-Cloud infrastructure

•         Performance management of sensor in cloud (Algorithms and
protocols)

•         Platform to manage sensory data in clouds (e.g. Hadoop, Pig,
Mapreduce, Hive and HDFS).

•         Provisioning of virtual sensor in cloud

•         Reliability issues, Service Level Agreement (SLA) and QoS
guarantees for sensing technologies for clouds

•         Security in Sensor Clouds

•         Sensor Cloud enabled applications (e.g., Health-care, Traffic
management, Weather monitoring and Surveillance)

•         Sensor Cloud Intelligence

•         Sensor Cloud management (Aggregation, Enablement,
Interoperability and Resource management)

•         Sensor Cloud vision: Case-studies, Challenges, Lesson-learnt and
Opportunities

•         Smart tags, location aware remote sensing and RFID as Services
(Raas) in clouds

•         Standardization mechanism/functions for Sensor Cloud
