Yarvis (mark.d.yarvis(a)intel.com) Intel Research and Development Intel Corporation, JF3-206 2111 N.E. 25th Ave. Hillsboro, OR 97124-5961 Subject Coverage Since people frequently work beyond their office desk, it is expected that the next generation of communication networks will include rapid deployments of independent mobile users. With the emergence of wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth, mobile users are enabled to connect to each other directly and wirelessly without any networking infrastructure, such as the Internet or infrastructure-based wireless networks. Instead, users form mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). These networks are self-configurable and self-healable, and therefore easily adopted in a home environment and more cheaply deployed and maintained in a business environment. While ad hoc networks are rapidly gaining in popularity, group communication technologies have already shown their importance in education, entertainment, business, military, and other industries. However, thus far those technologies have mainly been designed for use in the Internet. This special journal issue is focused on development of group communication solutions in ad hoc networks. This work is significant to many interesting applications. Examples are strategic collaboration among soldiers in a battlefield, collaborative data processing such as tracking and localization in sensor networks, collaborative intrusion detection among a group of distant surveillance cameras, to name just a few. Also relevant to ad hoc networks is the concept of peer-to-peer (P2P). P2P networks are commonly used in the Internet to enable services that leverage a collection of peer nodes rather than a single infrastructure server, making them resilient to the failure of an individual node. These properties are attractive for applications deployed in ad hoc wireless networks, which have similar requirements. Research on group communications in ad hoc networks is still in its infancy. There are many open issues due to the deviation between resource, energy, and bandwidth availability of ad hoc networks and the quality of service required by group communication services. Areas of interest for this special journal issue include, but are not limited to, the following topics: - Ad hoc networking architectures with inherent P2P communication support - Use of P2P technology for ad hoc network formation and management - Multicast routing in mobile ad hoc and sensor networks - Algorithms for reliable delivery and congestion control in ad hoc networks - Location and mobility management in ad hoc group communications - Algorithms for self-configuration, maintenance, and stabilization - Data management, operating system, and middleware for ad hoc group communications - Security and privacy in ad hoc group communications - Collaborative multimedia systems in ad hoc networks - Collaborative signal processing and information retrieval in ad hoc networks - Innovative applications of group communication in ad hoc networks Paper Submission Submissions should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliations, fax and telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Please submit full papers in PDF via email to one of the guest editors. Submitted papers must not be previously published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers will not exceed 6000 words or 15 single spaced pages in IEEE Transactions style. Hard copies should only be sent if electronic submission is not possible. All manuscripts will be reviewed by a selected panel of referees. Original artwork and a signed copy of the copyright release form will be required for all accepted papers. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

It is the distributed and ad hoc deployment of networks of these network devices and sensors that bears promises for a significant impact, not only on science and engineering, but equally importantly on a broad range of applications relating to critical infrastructure protection and security, health care, the environment, energy, food safety, production processing, quality of life, and the economy. This new IEEE Communications Society conference will provide a forum to exchange ideas, techniques, and applications, discuss best practices, raise awareness and share experiences among researchers, practitioners, standard developers and policy makers in the field of sensor and ad hoc networks and systems. The conference will be organized to provide for a degree of collegiality and continuity in the discussions of the various topics among participants from the industrial, governmental and academic sectors. Original technical papers, which address the communications, networking, systems and algorithmic aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks, as well as those that describe practical deployment and implementation experiences are solicited for presentation at the conference and publication in the conference proceedings.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFPforSANPA04: 2nd International Workshop on Sensor and Actor Network Protocols and Applications Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2004 15:32:37 -0400 From: Ozgur Baris Akan <akan(a)ece.gatech.edu> To: itc(a)comsoc.org We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SANPA 2004 Second International Workshop on Sensor and Actor Network Protocols and Applications August 22, 2004 Boston, Massachusetts, USA in Conjunction with MobiQuitous 2004 Submission Deadline: MAY 31, 2004 http://www.sanpa.org Call For Papers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope: Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs) are fast emerging as a new sensing paradigm based on the collaborative effort of large number of sensors deployed close to or inside the phenomenon to be observed, and have the potential of providing diverse services to numerous applications. The realization of WSANs require intensive technical research efforts especially in power aware scalable wireless ad hoc communications protocols due to their unusual application requirements and unique constraints such as the following: - WSANs are generally composed of large number of sensor nodes that have limited computational and storage capacity. - In many applications, sensor nodes can be randomly scattered in unreachable regions. - The sensed phenomenon must be acted on by the actor nodes in field in a timely and accurate manner. - The lifetime of a sensor network is generally limited to the battery lifetime of sensor nodes. SANPA 2004 is intended to provide a forum for researchers to present their contributions as technical papers related to communication protocols for WSANs, data management, access, aggregation and fusion techniques, and sensor network applications. SANPA 2004 will continue and build upon the success of SNPA 2003 (held in conjunction with ICC 2003). The papers solicited in SANPA 2004 cover a variety of topics including but not limited to: - Communication protocols for Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks at all layers - Novel sensor/actor network applications and services - Self organizing and scalable sensor/actor network architectures - Software platforms and tools for sensor/actor network application development - Energy efficient medium access control, error control, and traffic management protocols - Energy efficient system services such as localization and time synchronization - Robust distributed algorithms for collaborative processing - Mechanisms, protocols and algorithms for authenticated, secure communication - Application specific network and system services, including data-centric routing, attribute based addressing and location management - Data querying and dissemination - Data compression, association, aggregation and fusion Submission Instructions: The papers should confirm with the MobiQuitous paper format (www.mobiquitous.org) and can be up to 11 pages long. Authors should submit a PDF version of their paper to sanpa(a)ece.gatech.edu. For more information about the workshop, see http://www.sanpa.org/. Papers of particular merit will be published in the Ad Hoc Networks Journal (Elsevier Science).
