SENSORFUSIONS

Third International Workshop on Information Fusion and Dissemination in Wireless Sensor Networks, in conjunction with MobiQuitous'09. The convergence of the Internet, wireless communications, and information processing technologies with techniques for miniaturization has opened up new vistas of research for sensor networks. Emerging technologies for sensing and pervasive computing have placed sensor networks at the threshold of a period of major growth. It has extended information fusion and dissemination in sensor networks from data aggregation, association and monitoring of interactions among hardware and software entities in ubiquitous computing environments to intelligent information processing for the next generation wireless internet. For the emerging hybrid sensor networks, information fusion can help in the seamless integration of smart sensors and actuators, devices and capabilities, software and hardware agents, sensor network applications and sensor nodes, distributed and collaborative algorithms, different communication technologies, different networking architectures, etc., all over wireless or wire-line backbones. The aim of this workshop is to provide a focal point for recent advances in this foundational area of information fusion and dissemination for sensor networks across different paradigms, disciplines and technologies.
