One month left to submit papers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SECOND CALL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Computers and Electrical Engineering Journal http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/367/descriptio… Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Wireless Networks and Systems" Wireless and satellite technology offers many advantages with respect to cable networks both concerning scalability, overcoming geographical obstacles, covering isolated areas, application in hazardous environments. In many cases, as well as in aerospace applications, the wireless choice is a must. In other cases, wireless means resource optimization, as in the case of Wireless LANs. Cable networks and the Internet are not sufficient to support applications in some environments. People may require news on the web in hazardous environments. Moreover, in the presence of infrastructure, traffic bottlenecks of terrestrial networks and traditional links could make the service highly inefficient, if not useful. Therefore, there is increasing commercial interest to use wireless in modern telecommunications systems such as local area services, interactivity and possibility of building networks adapted to the different needs; tele-learning; managing activity of the Public Administration; bank and financial services; industrial activity located remotely; broadcasting and backbone access; international connections; tele-medicine; data recovery; video-surveillance; application in rural environments; applications for vehicles, trains and planes; and tactical communications, among others. Offering real services with a specific guarantee of Quality of Service (QoS) over wireless systems (including WLAN, radio and satellite) is very challenging as it implies the need to solve challenging research and development issues due to the peculiarity of the application environment. This issue of Computers and Electrical Engineering (C & EE) Journal is aimed at soliciting recent original and previously unpublished research results that deal with technological solutions, protocols, applications, performance analysis of Wireless Networks, including WLANs, WMANs, radio networks, 3G and beyond systems, military tactical and satellite networks.

NPSec focuses on two general areas. The first focus is on the development and analysis of secure or hardened protocols for the operation (establishment and maintenance) of network infrastructure, including such targets as secure multidomain, ad-hoc, sensor or overlay networks, or other related target areas. This can include new protocols, enhancements to existing protocols, protocol analysis, and new attacks on existing protocols.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Network Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networking Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 16:03:54 -0400 (EDT) From: Jun Zheng <vjzheng(a)site.uottawa.ca> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] ===================================================== * Call for Papers * * * * IEEE Network Special Issue on * * * * Wireless Sensor Networking * *==================================================== http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/special.html Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) recently received tremendous attention from both academia and industry because of its promise of a wide range of potential applications in both civil and military areas. A WSN consists of a large number of small sensor nodes with sensing, data processing, and communication capabilities, which are deployed in a region of interest and collaborate to accomplish a common task, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and industry process control. Distinguished from traditional wireless networks, WSNs are characterized of dense node deployment, unreliable sensor node, frequent topology change, and severe power, computation, and memory constraints. These unique characteristics and constraints present many new challenges to the design and implementation of WSNs, such as energy conservation, self-organization, efficient data dissemination, and fault tolerance. For example, energy efficiency is the key to prolonging the network lifetime and is thus of primary importance in WSNs. It must be considered not only at the physical layer but also at the link layer and the network layer in sensor network design. Although many networking protocols and algorithms have been developed for traditional wireless ad hoc networks, they cannot effectively address the unique characteristics and constraints and application requirements of sensor networks. To meet the new challenges, innovative protocols and algorithms are needed to achieve energy efficiency, flexible scalability and adaptability, and good network performance. For example, it is highly desirable to develop new energy-efficient protocols for topology discovery, self-organization, medium access control, route discovery, and data dissemination. An efficient query processing and data aggregation algorithm can significantly reduce the number of transmissions of sensor nodes and thus provide substantial energy savings and prolong the lifetime of the network. In addition, open standards are important and imperative to facilitate and improve the development of WSNs. To realize the vision of WSNs, a large amount of research and development activities are going on in recent years. The purpose of this special issue is to expose the readership of IEEE Network to the latest research and development progress in this hot and exciting area. Scope of Contributions This special issue aims to publish a collection of research and survey articles that focus on the latest research and development results in all networking aspects of WSNs. Original research and survey articles are solicited from all researchers and practitioners. Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to the readers outside the specialty of the article. As applicable to WSNs, topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Network architectures and protocols * Topology discovery and self-organization * Energy-efficient medium access control (MAC) * Energy-efficient routing and data dissemination * Query processing and data aggregation * Fault tolerance and self-healing * Field trials and standardization activities Manuscript Submission Authors should submit their manuscripts electronically in PDF format via email to one of the guest editors. With regard to both the content and formatting style of the submissions, prospective contributors should follow the IEEE Network guidelines for authors that can be found at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/ntwrk/authors.html. Important Dates Submission deadline: September 1, 2005 Acceptance notification: January 1, 2006 Final manuscript due: March 1, 2006 Publication date: 2nd Quarter, 2006 Guest Editors Dr. Jun Zheng School of Information Technology and Engineering University of Ottawa 800 King Edward Street Ottawa, Ontario K1N 6N5, Canada Email: jzheng(a)ieee.org Dr. Pascal Lorenz University of Haute Alsace IUT, 34 rue du Grillenbreit Colmar, 68008, France Email: lorenz(a)ieee.org Dr. Petre Dini Cisco Systems, Inc. 170 West Tasman Drive San Jose, CA 95134-1706, USA Email: pdini(a)cisco.com _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc
