Driven by advances in MEMS micro-sensors, wireless networking, and embedded processing, ad-hoc networks of sensors are becoming increasingly available for commercial and military applications such as environmental monitoring (e.g., traffic, habitat, security), industrial sensing and diagnostics (e.g., factory, appliances), critical infrastructure protection (e.g., power grids, water distribution, waste disposal), and situational awareness for battlefield applications. Information processing in sensor networks draws upon many disciplines including signal processing/detection/estimation, networking and protocols, embedded systems, data bases and information management, as well as distributed algorithms. It opens up new research venues, which include sensor tasking and control, tracking and localization, probabilistic reasoning, sensor data fusion, distributed data bases, communication protocols and theory that address network coverage, connectivity, and capacity, as well as system/software architecture and design methodologies. Moreover, all these issues have to consider many cross-cutting requirements such as efficiency/cost tradeoff, robustness, self-organization, fault-tolerance, timeliness, scalability, and network longevity. This Symposium will address issues from physical device design, to signal processing and from networking to coordination protocols. The Symposium will place special attention to revolutionary new applications that are enabled by sensor network technology. Topical areas of sensor networks include, but not limited to: * Distributed and collaborative signal processing * Network protocols for sensor networks * Coding, compression, and information theory * Distributed query processing * Detection, classification, estimation, and tracking * Network coverage, connectivity, and longevity * Sensor tasking and control * Embedded architectures and tools * In-network processing and aggregation * Data storage in sensor networks * Location and time services * Energy and resource management * Distributed inference and fusion * Programming models and languages * Real-time scheduling * Security and fault tolerance * Simulation tools and environments * Networked sensing and control * Applications of sensor networks (e.g., automotive, battlefield, biology, construction, disaster recovery, environmental, medical, security) Along with a set of high-quality technical papers, IPSN'04 will also include invited talks that highlight the state-of-the-art of sensor network applications and research. The Symposium program will include poster sessions that provide researchers with opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the sensor network community at large.

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Wolfgang Nejdl [mailto:nejdl@kbs.uni-hannover.de] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 4. September 2003 01:48 An: mm-ansprechpartner-niedersachsen(a)offis.de; sbmm(a)offis.de; elan-pk(a)sbmm-niedersachsen.de; elan-gesamtprojektleitung(a)sbmm-niedersachsen.de Cc: wolfgang.koerner(a)mwk.niedersachsen.de; peter.eckstein(a)mwk.niedersachsen.de; ewald.brahms(a)mwk.niedersachsen.de Betreff: WWW 2004 Education Track Call for Papers Liebe Kollegen und Kolleginnen, Anbei der Call for Papers für die 13. International World Wide Web Conference, die diesmal in New York u.a. wieder mit dem Spezialthema Education / E-Learning stattfindet, als Anregung zur Einreichung und Weiterverteilung. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Wolfgang Nejdl ================================================================== Thirteenth International World Wide Web Conference May 2004, New York EDUCATION TRACK The World Wide Web has caused a revolution in the way we teach and learn. The technology enables us to provide interactive learning material in new ways, to support learning collaboration and learning communities, to provide personalized learning experience, and to incorporate diverse re-usable learning objects into the local learning experience. Furthermore it provides the possibility to create new learning designs to make learning more flexible, adaptable, attractive and accessible to learners. To make these and other experiences possible, many educational and training projects do not just bring new learning materials or designs to the Web but also contribute quite a few Web-related methodologies or technology. The WWW2003 Education Track is aimed at researchers who wish to share innovative experiences and research results that are (at least partially) domain independent and that can thus benefit other teachers and learners who wish to get more out of the Web. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: - Web educational portal and learning management systems - Authoring of Web-based learning material - Architectures and designs for web-based learning delivery environments - Identification, reuse and granularity issues of learning objects - Business models for the exchange of learning objects - Metadata specifications and standards for learning objects - Integrating (Web-based) multimedia in educational applications - Student modeling in open learning environments - (On-line) adaptation to learner's knowledge, goals, interest and learning style - Learning technology specifications & standards for interoperability - Web log mining applied to student performance data - Intellectual property issues arising from the use of learning objects - Agents in Web-based teaching and learning - Social, cultural and multilingual issues in Web-based learning - Case studies in the implementation and use of educational applications in a Web-based environment - Distributed and P2P-based learning repositories - Integration of web-based learning with enterprise systems - Empirical studies of web-based educational systems - IR and text classification methods in open learning environments - Collaboration and communities in web-based educational environments - Data protection and privacy in Web-based education and training Organization / Co-Chairs: Peter Brusilovsky, University of Pittsburgh, USA Wolfgang Nejdl, University of Hannover / L3S, Germany Program Committee Helen Ashman, University of Nottingham, UK Borka Blazic, JSI, Slovenia Jacqueline Bourdeau, LICEF, Canada Paul de Bra, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands Ricardo Conejo, University of Malaga, Spain Hugh Davis, University of Southampton, UK Erik Duval, University of Leuven, Belgium Monique Grandbastien, France Joerg Haake, FU Hagen, Germany Judy Kay, University of Sydney, Australia Alfred Kobsa, University of California at Irvine, USA Janet Kolodner, Georgia Tech, USA Rob Koper, Open University, Netherlands Lisa Neal, EDS, USA Melissa Lee Price, Staffordshire University, UK Juan Quemada, UPM, Spain Daniel Rehak, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Jeremy Roschelle, SRI, USA Vittorio Scarano, University of Salerno, Italy Peter Scott, Knowledge Media Institute / Open University, UK Ralf Steinmetz, TU Darmstadt, Germany Rudi Studer, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Dan Suthers, University of Hawaii, USA Vincent Wade, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland More information: http://www2004.org/
