The symposium features six single-track sessions of oral paper presentations and two poster sessions, including state-of-the-art research results in all aspects of sensor networks, such as 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, and applications of sensor networks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conference Registration ======================= Conference registration is available online at http://ipsn04.cs.uiuc.edu There are three different registration time periods. Early registration ends on March 26, 2004. Advance registration ends on April 16, 2004. After April 16, only on-site registration will be possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Objectives and Scope ==================== Following the success of the first two Workshops (www.parc.com/events/ipsn03), the 3rd International Symposium on Information Processing in Sensor Networks brings together researchers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss recent work in this emerging field. 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Technical Program ================= The complete technical program can be found at http://ispn04.cs.uiuc.edu/agenda.html Monday, April 26, 2004 * 08:00-08:30 /Welcome and Introduction Conference Co-chairs: Kannan Ramchandran and Janos Sztipanovits Technical Co-chairs: Jennifer C.

The realization of sensor networks requires intensive technical research and development efforts especially in power aware scalable wireless ad hoc communications protocols due to their unusual application requirements and constraints. On the other hand, a solid theoretical background seems necessary for sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is an algorithmic challenge to achieve efficient and robust realizations of such large, highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networking environments. Features including the huge number of sensor devices involved, the severe power, computational and memory limitations, their dense deployment and frequent failures, pose new design, analysis and implementation challenges. This workshop is intended to provide a forum for researchers and practicioners to present their contributions related to all aspects of sensor networks. TOPICS Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including but not limited to: * Modeling of specific sensor networks * Methods for ad hoc deployment * Algorithms for sensor localization and tracking of mobile users * Dynamic sensor networks * Hierarchical clustering architectures * Attribute-based named nets * Routing: implosion issues and resource management * Communication protocols * Media acess control in sensor networks * Simulators for sensor networks * Sensor architecture * Energy issues WORKSHOP and PC CHAIRS Sotiris Nikoletseas, U. of Patras and CTI Jose Rolim, U. of Geneva PROGRAM COMMITTEE Ian Akyildiz, Georgia Institute of Technology Azzedine Boukerche, U. of Ottawa Deborah Estrin, UCLA Afonso Ferreira, CNRS, I3S & Inria Sophia Antipolis Alfredo Ferro, U. of Catania Wendi Heinzelman, U. of Rochester Chalermek Intanagonwiwat, Chulalongkorn U., Thailand Elias Koutsoupias, U. of Athens Bhaskar Krishnamachari, U. of Southern California Stefano Leonardi, U. of Rome "La Sapienza" Sotiris Nikoletseas (Co-Chair), U. of Patras and CTI Viktor Prasanna, U. of Southern California Jose Rolim (Co-Chair), U. of Geneva Peter Sanders, Max Planck Institute for CS Maria Serna, T.U. of Catalonia Christian Schindelhauer, U. of Paderborn Paul Spirakis, U. of Patras and CTI Peter Triantafilloy, U. of Patras Eli Upfal, Brown U.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: SIG MM Retreat Report; Multimedia 2004 Deadlines and Video/Art Programs Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2004 16:17:47 -0500 From: Vernick, Michael David (Michael) <vernick(a)AVAYA.COM> Reply-To: Vernick, Michael David (Michael) <vernick(a)AVAYA.COM> To: SIGMM-MEMBERS(a)ACM.ORG Greetings from the ACM Multimedia committee. Included in this email are the following: * ACM SIG Multimedia Strategic Retreat Comprehensive Report * Multimedia 2004 Conference - Submission deadlines - Call for Video Submissions - New Conference Addition: Interactive Art Program See the web site for more information: http://www.mm2004.org --------------------------- ACM SIG Multimedia Strategic Retreat Comprehensive Report The ACM Special Interest Group on Multimedia (SIGMM) was created ten years ago. Since that time, researchers have solved a number of important problems related to media processing, multimedia databases, and distributed multimedia applications. Discussions at the annual SIGMM conference ACM Multimedia 2001 (MM'01) in Ottawa, Canada suggested it was time for senior members of the research community to meet and discuss the future of multimedia research. Some members of the community believed that multimedia research was addressing narrow topics with limited impact rather than addressing major problems that will have wider impact on technology for real and emerging applications. A strategic retreat was organized as part of MM'03 to assess the current state of multimedia research and suggest directions for future research. Twenty-six researchers from academia and industry participated in the two day retreat organized by Professors Lawrence A. Rowe and Ramesh Jain who are the past and current SIGMM Chairs. The executive summary of the retreat can be found at: http://www.acm.org/sigmm/main/events/sigmm_retreat/ The final retreat report on Future Directions of Multimedia Research can be found at: http://www.acm.org/sigmm/ --------------------------- SUBMISSION DEADLINES FOR MULTIMEDIA 2004 April 5, 2004 - Interactive art program submission deadline April 15, 2004 - Full papers submission deadline at 5 pm EDT April 30, 2004 - Panels submission deadline May 3, 2004 - Exhibition submission deadline June 1, 2004 - Tutorials, short papers, open software, video program, interactive art program, short papers, technical demonstrations, doctoral symposium submission deadline Notification of acceptance for Panels July 1, 2004 - Notification of acceptance for full papers July 7, 2004 - Notification of acceptance for exhibition and short papers --------------------------- Multimedia 2004: CALL FOR PAPERS: INTERACTIVE ART PROGRAM and EXHIBITION Interactive Art Program: http://www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_call4interactiveartprogram.htm Exhibition: http://www.mm2004.org/acm_mm04_call4artexhibit.htm This year's new Interactive Art Program will bring together the arts and multimedia communities to create the stage to explore, discuss, and push the limits for the advancement of both multimedia technology through the arts, and the arts through multimedia technology. The Interactive Art Program will consist of two technical tracks and an exhibition. We invite RESEARCHERS in technical areas and ARTISTS working with digital media to submit their original contributions to the following tracks: (1) TOOLS FOR CREATING MULTIMEDIA ART: performance, immersive, narrative, multi-modal, networked art, etc. The emphasis is on novel technical tools developed specifically for the creation of multimedia art in any form. We particularly encourage submission of tools in new and emerging areas. (2) TOOLS DEVELOPED BY ARTISTS IN THE CREATION OF MULTIMEDIA ARTWORKS: will describe the process and technical details of the creation of artistic works that have required either the development of new multimedia tools, or novel uses of currently available multimedia tools. Artists that develop their own tools are strongly encouraged to submit their work to this track. (3) MULTIMEDIA ART EXHIBITION: "Digital Boundaries: Multiculturalism, Identity, and Awareness". We seek art works that, using multimedia, explore issues of cultural identity, cultural awareness, and the boundaries created or enforced through the use of multimedia technology. The emphasis for the exhibition is on interactive art works that realize powerful artistic concepts using multimedia content and technologies (exhibition statement at the end of this message). Awards will be given to submissions in all three tracks, placing particular emphasis on the most innovative use of multimedia technology.

Video is a great way to present work that is best understood by example. Video also makes it possible to demonstrate your tool, system, application or brave new idea without having to bring the equipment for a "live" demo. Even if you've never made a video before, please consider this new opportunity for Video Submissions at ACM Multimedia 2004. VIDEO SUBMISSIONS CATEGORIES There are three categories of video submissions: * Video figures (3 minutes) - accompanies a regular or short paper submission and serves as an illustration * Video demonstrations (8 minutes) - gives a self-explanatory demo of a tool, system, or application. In addition we would like to encourage media artists to submit work that exemplifies new trends in video art or describes an interactive multimedia art application. * Video vision (8 minutes) - describes a new brave idea of multimedia technology Videos in the categories demonstration and vision need to be accompanied with a 2 page description of the video content using the ACM template. The descriptions of the selected videos will become part of the conference proceedings. Videos will be published on a dedicated web site either in the ACM Digital Library or at the SIGMM website. Accepted videos will be presented in the video session during the conference. The best video demonstration and video vision will get a special podium. The format for videos is MPEG-2, although we will accept VHS submissions. More information on video submissions can be found on the ACM Multimedia 2004 Web page http://www.mm2004.org/ IMPORTANT DATES June 1st, 2004 Submission deadline July 1st, 2004 Notification of acceptance July 20th, 2004 Camera Ready Copy of Video Description August 20th, 2004 Video Final Version Questions?
