GENERAL INFORMATION
After the huge success of two consecutive International Multi-topic ICT
conferences (IMTIC’08 & IMTIC’12 www.muet.edu.pk/imtic/) held at Mehran
University, the 1st International Symposium on Wireless Sensor Networks for
Developing Countries (WSN4DC ’13) jointly organized by Mehran University of
Engineering & Technology, Jamshoro, Pakistan, Erasmus Mundus, StrongTies
program and International Islamic University Malaysia.
With the emergance of electronics and nanotechnology the pervasive and
ubiquitious envoronments are becoming reality. The key enabler technology for
these environments is Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). We have seen lot of WSN
advancement during recent past in military domain. The world is now well aware
of the power of WSN and its applications, which are endless. The WSN4DC
symposium aims to bring together a wide spectrum of international experts to
facilitate a creative environment for the promotion of collaboration and
knowledge transfer under the domain of WSN usage for Developing Countries (DC).
In particular it will facilitate a dialogue between major industry players,
entrepreneurs and academia to help create a roadmap for the development of
tangible research environment in the developing countries. It is an
international forum for researchers to exchange information regarding novel
aspects of technology, application and service development
within the WSN domain.
The symposium programme will consist of keynote speakers from both industry and
academia and panel discussion. There will be opportunities to attend
interactive, high quality, peer reviewed sessions which will provide detailed
insights from forward thinkers working in the themes of the conference.
Additionally, there will be an exhibition for both international and niche
market to display their latest products and services and to undertake a range
of networking opportunities.
The proceedings of WSN4DC '13 syposium be published by Springer (TBD).
Additionally, the extended version of selected papers will be published as
especial issue in reputed indexed journals (TBD).
