Recent technological developments in sensing, communications, control and computation have created an emerging class of complex systems hereon called networked embedded systems. These systems can be roughly described as collections of spatially distributed sensors, actuators and controllers whose behavior is coordinated through wired or wireless communication links. This integration between different technologies and scientific domains presents new and challenging fundamental problems underlying the theoretical foundations for this class of systems. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers working of different aspects of networked embedded systems in order to exchange research experiences and to identify the main scientific challenges in this exciting new area.


The workshop topics cover all the areas related to networked embedded systems including but not limited to:

- Modeling and abstraction issues in networked embedded systems;
- Distributed sensing, estimation, computation and control;
- Coding and quantization techniques tailored to networked embedded systems;
- Impact of communication constraints on computation, control and sensing performance;
- Real-time scheduling for networked embedded systems;
- Mobile sensor and actuator networks.


Authors should submit a 1 page abstract no later than May 16, 2005. Feedback on the abstract will be provided by May 30, 2005 and full length papers are due August 1st, 2005.  After review, authors will be notified regarding acceptance by September 1, 2005. Final versions will be due at the conference and will be published as volume in Springer's Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences series.
