Summary and Topics:=A0

Thanks to t= echnological advances, wired and wireless sensor networks are attracting an= increasing attention that promotes their large-scale deployments in many a= pplications, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and s= cientific exploration. Continuous improvements are motivating works in addr= essing specific sensor network issues spanning hardware, network protocols,= architecture, operating systems, and applications. Furthermore, emergent n= eeds to fulfill a variety of heterogeneous requirements are highlighting th= e importance of multidisciplinary networks that control their processing an= d manage their resources by means of self-organizing techniques. These tech= niques particularly require sharing the decision-making process over hundre= ds of low-power, short lifetimes sensors. The achievement of this goal is s= till facing an urgent and challenging question on how to provide these spat= ially distributed sensors with reasonable autonomy that help them in perfor= ming the right action, at the right time for the sake of fulfilling current= requirements while increasing the lifetime of the entire sensor network an= d guaranteeing reliable and enduring pathway communications. Automating the= sensor network activities is also an urgent and challenging issue especial= ly that commonly sensing devices are operating unattended in remote and hos= tile areas where manual maintenance is nearly impossible. Since predefined = and late decisions do not help much in improving the efficiency of networke= d sensing devices, automation and autonomy are very important mechanisms in= addressing upcoming developments that target multi-services, collaborating= , or competing sensor networks. To reach these goals, the second Internatio= nal Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks is seeking novel i= deas in the following topics that include, but not limited to:

- Heterogeneous sensor networks
