Special Track on

Intelligent Distributed Sensor Networks

 The 19th International FLAIRS Conference

Holiday Inn - Melbourne Oceanfront
Melbourne Beach, Florida
May 11-13, 2006

In cooperation with The American Association for Artificial Intelligence

Scope

Papers are being solicited for a special track on Intelligent Distributed Sensor Networks at the 19th  International FLAIRS Conference (FLAIRS 2006).  Technological advances in sensing, communication, and computing technology are increasing the availability of low cost sensor nodes that can be distributed over large geographical areas to collect data, monitor events, and predict evolution of phenomena of interest.  Sensor networks present a new fully distributed computation and communication environment with a great potential in a variety of domains from environment, to military, to human safety and rescue.  The realization of this potential requires a judicious use of resources and an intelligent capitalization on the specific features of the networks and their applications.

This special track aims at bringing together researchers interested in addressing issues specific to distributed sensor networks using new or established artificial intelligence approaches.  Submissions are solicited on topics, including but not limited to:

• Sensor network integration with mobile vehicles and humans
• Data aggregation and fusion
• Intelligent Sensors
• Self organizing sensor networks
• Swarm intelligence for sensor networks
• Neural Network inspired approaches to sensor networks
• Self-organizing routing methods
• Query optimization in sensor networks
• Cost metrics in sensor networks
• Flexible scheduling of nodes in sensor networks
• Robust behavior in sensor networks
• Localization with mobility

Delivery & Submissions

 We invite authors to submit papers in the standard FLAIRS style (see the FLAIRS call for papers for details) on research related to intelligent distributed sensor networks, with particular emphasis on assessing the current state of the art and identifying future directions. Accepted papers will appear on the FLAIRS proceedings published by AAAI.

Selected papers, of sufficiently high quality, will be invited to submit extended version to be published  in a special issue of the International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools (IJAIT) Journal.
