2nd International Workshop on Data-intensive Process Management in Large-Scale Sensor Systems (DPMSS): From Sensor Networks to Sensor Clouds
jointly held with
CCGrid 2013: The 13th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing
May 13-16, 2013, Delft, Netherlands

Due to recent advances in electronics and communication technologies, Sensor Networks (SNs) have been introduced and are currently emerging as one of the most disruptive technologies enabling and supporting next generation ubiquitous and pervasive computing scenarios. In recent years there has been a great surge of interest in SN-based applications, mainly focused on developing hardware, software, and networking architectures needed to enable such applications. In the future, SN will be often seamlessly integrated with decentralized distributed systems based on other networks, particularly IP-based networks. Such integration will raise new issues in the development, deployment and management of such large-scale SN-based systems. The convergence of processes and data management over large-scale SN-based systems results in the definition of the so-called data-intensive processes over large-scale SN-based systems, which represents a novel and leading context for a wide research community. In this respect, relevant issues concern with methodologies for modeling and supporting data-intensive processes, integration and fusion approaches over data-intensive processes, activation and enactment paradigms for data-intensive processes over large-scale SN-based systems, development approaches for SN-based systems, large-scale wireless sensor network systems. The aim of this workshop is to capture the new research trends and results in terms of design, architectures, techniques, and applications for the management of processes and data in large-scale systems based on sensors, with particular emphasis on the integration of large-scale SNs with Grid and Cloud infrastructures.
