=============================================================

IST-AWSN'16 will be held in conjunction with the 7th International
Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT-2016) in
Madrid, Spain, May 23-26, 2016.

Recent developments of low-cost, low-power, multifunctional wireless
sensors and smart devices have enabled the fast growth of Ad-hoc and
Wireless Sensor Network (AWSN) applications. AWSNs consist of numerous
small battery powered nodes. A combination of the dense deployment of
numerous smart sensors, actuators and smart mobiles nodes, AI techniques,
and intelligent agents can provide pervasive services, enabling users to
satisfy their needs anytime anywhere. Different problems rise at different
level from protocol specification and verification, simulation and
performance evaluation to distributed intelligent software specification
and design.

This symposium aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working
on different aspects of ad-hoc and wireless sensor networks and software
agent technology in an effort to highlight the state-of-the-art and discuss
the challenges and opportunities to explore new research directions. We
strongly welcome submissions that include results which advance the state
of the art relating to the theme of the symposium.

The main topics to be addressed include (but not limited to):

   - Large-scale information processing, learning, mining and analysis of
   sensor data
   - Internet/Cloud of Things
   - Distributed algorithms and distributed data processing
   - Knowledge Modeling and reasoning with Uncertainty
   - Localisation and location based services
   - Intelligent data fusion and aggregation
   - Intelligent query and data dissemination
   - Intelligent systems for AWSNs
   - Agent-based architectures and middleware for AWSNs
   - Context and situation awareness
   - Distributed management systems for AWSNs
   - QoS, performance evaluation and simulation
   - Modelling, simulation, measurements, experimental systems and test-beds
   - M2M communication protocols for sensors networks
   - Power management and energy-efficient protocols
   - Routing protocols for AWSNs
   - Self-organization of AWSNs
   - Sensors and actuators infrastructures for ubiquitous applications
   - Long range communication for WSN
   - Software defined wireless sensor networks (SDWSN)
   - Network management for WSN
   - Security and privacy in WSN

*Applications:*

   - Smart water grid
   - Smart grid
   - Environment monitoring
   - Industrial application
   - Home automation
   - Smart infrastructure
   - Ubiquitous robotics
