	        The 2nd International Workshop on
          Practical Applications of Sensor Networking

		In Conjunction with SAINT2008
			  Turuk, Finland
		      July 28-August2, 2008


CALL FOR PAPERS

   Ubiquitous computer network shall include wide variety of sensor
   devices. These sensor devices has large heterogeneity, such as
   associated with computing capability, geographical location, types
   of sensor information, as well as associated the applications
   using those sensors.  We realize that the sensor networking has
   a lot of technical challenges, such as operating system, routing,
   device management architecture, security and privacy. Also, some
   practical professional applications, such as monitoring the heat
   island phenomena in metropolitan using weather sensors, has been
   exploring, recently.   This workshop encourage the submission of
   papers, associated with the technologies and applications on
   sensor networking.

     - System architecture
     - Middleware and key component technologies
     - Practical applications and it's testbed operation

   We organized the workshop at SAINT2007 and this workshop is the
   second workshop of this research field.
