Fifth International Conference on Wireless Communications and
Sensor Networks
December 15-19, 2009

Wireless
communication and sensor networks occupy a very important position in creating
the ubiquitous environments that would have profound influence on society. The
wireless communication technologies and devices are fast converging and soon
would allow the creation of a global wireless network that would be the
backbone of variety of ubiquitous services. Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks
(WSAN) would influence the world through their pervasive nature in remote
distributed monitoring and control by taking advantage of the developments in
wireless communication, Embedded systems, Semantic web, and Smart surroundings,
etc. Despite its promise, many breakthroughs in power aware designs,
availability of wireless channel bandwidths, etc, are needed to establish
practical methods. To build large and sustainable systems, these energy and
bandwidth constraints present fundamental challenges in developing intelligent,
distributed, collaborative, multi-modal networked objects that sense and act in
wide areas and in unattended environments. The conference tries to spur these
developments by bringing the researchers together to share their research,
experiences and their perceptions. The emphasis is on development and
deployment of meaningful applications.
The conference spread
knowledge all the five days. The details of conference are as under:
