[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Sensor-Actuator Networks (SANETs) - Feb 15, 2006]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Sensor-Actuator Networks (SANETs) - Feb 15, 2006 Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2006 00:28:33 -0500 From: M. Eltoweissy <toweissy(a)vt.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers Journal of Computer Communications (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Special Issue on "Sensor-Actuator Networks (SANETs)" Sensor-Actuator NETworks (SANETs) are comprised of networked sensor and actuator nodes that communicate among each other using wireless links to perform distributed sensing and actuation tasks. The recent few years have witnessed an increasing interest in the potential use of SANETs in many applications ranging from healthcare to warfare. In these applications, sensors are engaged in gathering information about the physical environment, while actuators are involved in taking decisions and then performing appropriate actions in the area of interest. This enables SANETs to provide remote sensing and actuation services to their users. SANETs are heterogeneous networks having widely differing sensor and actuator node characteristics; while sensor nodes are small, inexpensive, usually static devices with limited computation, communication and energy resources, actuator nodes are resource-rich and usually mobile. Also, the number of sensor nodes deployed may be in the order of hundreds or thousands. In contrast, actuator nodes are smaller in number due to the different coverage requirements and physical interaction methods of actuation. Typically, a deployed SANET is expected to operate autonomously in unattended environments. Operational requirements of SANETs may vary according to a network?s mission defined over a multi-dimensional context, such as field of deployment (e.g., hostile versus friendly), type of application (e.g., monitoring, tracking, intrusion detection and mitigation), mode of operation (e.g., normal, exception, post-event recovery), and time. In SANETs, depending on the application, there may be a need to rapidly respond to sensor input. Moreover, so as to provide right actions, sensor data must still be valid at the time of acting. Consequently, the issues of real-time communication and coordination are vital in SANETs. Finally, to realize their potential, dependable, secure, application-aware design and operation of SANETs have to be ensured. Apparently, research is needed to resolve the many complicating issues that may impede wide-scale SANET adoption. This special issue of the Journal of Computer Communications will be designated for reporting on recent research results on SANETs. It is expected that non-conventional techniques more suited to the characteristics of SANETs need to be employed. Also, in many cases trade-off would be necessary in order to ensure practicality by dynamically setting bounds on aspects such as dependability, security, and QoS. Papers presenting original and unpublished work are being solicited. Topics of interest include, although not limited to, the following: - Sensor-actuator coordination and communication - Architectural and operational models - Robust routing and MAC protocols - Fault and attack resilience middleware - Models, metrics and measurements - Self-aware and autonomous networks - Localization and mobility - Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols - Security, dependability, privacy and QoS issues - Network management - Formal representation and verification - Network inference (tomography, etc.) - Testbeds, simulation and visualization - Novel applications of sensor and actuator networks ** Submission deadline: February 15 , 2006 ** Decision notification: May 15, 2006 ** Final manuscript due: July 31, 2006 ** Publication date: 1st Quarter 2007 ** Submission instructions: Prospective authors should submit their paper and inquiries electronically to toweissy at vt.edu. The manuscript should not exceed 30 double-space pages in PDF. The manuscript should be in a single column font size 11 or larger format. The first page should include title, authors? contact information, an abstract and five keywords. Authors should include the paper abstract in their message. ** Guest Editors: Mohamed Eltoweissy: The Bradley Dept. of Electrical & Computer Eng., Virginia Tech, USA, toweissy at vt.edu Silvia Giordano: Dept. of Informatics & Electronics, Univ. of Applied Sci., Switzerland, silvia.giordano at supsi.ch Stephan Olariu: Dept. of Computer Science, Old Dominion University, USA, olariu at cs.odu.edu David Simplot-Ryl: IRCICA/LIFL, University of Lille 1, INRIA Futurs, France, David.Simplot at lifl.fr _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

To exploit these potentialities, simulation modeling and theoretical analyses have to be complemented by real experiences (e.g., measurements on real prototypes) which provide both a direct evaluation of ad hoc networks and, at the same time, precious information to realistically model these systems. The need for more experimental activities stimulated a new community of researchers combining theoretical research on ad hoc networking with experiences/measurements obtained by implementing ad hoc network prototypes. The aim of REALMAN is to bring together this community. Following the success of the first edition, this workshop constitutes a unique forum for presenting and discussing measurement studies and experiences based on real ad hoc network test-beds and prototypes. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols *development*, *measurement* and *testing*, in all areas related to ad hoc networking. We encourage authors willing to submit a regular paper to also submit a *demo* proposal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Ad Hoc Networks Applications * System Prototypes and Experiences * Mobile Ad Hoc Networks * Opportunistic and Delay Tolerant Networks * Sensor Networks * Mesh Networks * Vehicular Networks * Protocols Implementation and Testing * Middleware Platforms for Ad Hoc Networks * Ad Hoc Networking for Pervasive Environments * Situated and Autonomic Communications * Location Services * Positioning and Tracking Technologies and Services * Measurement Studies * Mobility Models based on Real Data * Enabling Technologies (802.11, 802.15, etc.) * Experiment-based Social and/or Economic Analysis of Mobile Ad hoc Networks DEMO SESSION A demo session will be held during the workshop, showing real prototypes at work.

The WMCSA 2006 Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity for doctoral students to explore and develop their research interests in a small workshop format, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished researchers. We invite students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback on their dissertation work to apply for this unique opportunity to share their work with students in a similar situation as well as senior researchers in the field. --------------- ABOUT THE DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM The Consortium has the following objectives: * Provide a supportive setting for feedback on students' current research and guidance on future research directions. * Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from faculty and students outside their own institution. * Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research. * Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers and conference events. The Consortium will be held during an extended lunch on 6 April (Friday). About three doctoral students and four faculty will be invited to participate. Students will give a presentation providing an overview of their work and results to date. Student participants will have their abstracts published in the WMCSA 2006 Proceedings and a poster of their work exhibited at the main conference. --------------- APPLYING TO THE DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM Submissions are invited from current graduate students pursuing a PhD project who would benefit from detailed workshop discussions of their doctoral research by a panel of established researchers. Students are also expected to share in scribing, writing up summaries of each talk and subsequent discussion, which will be published in a relevant journal. These students will also get free registration. Submission materials consist of: * an extended abstract (see below), * a one-page biographical sketch, * a one-paragraph statement of expected benefits of participation (see below), * a letter of recommendation from the student's primary dissertation advisor (this can be sent separately, if desired) All materials should be sent to jasonh at cs cmu edu (as a single PDF file) by 3 February 2006, 5:00 PM (1700) PST. Your file should be named lastname_dc.pdf, where lastname is your family name. The file must be no larger than 5 Mbytes in size. EXTENDED ABSTRACT Prepare a two-page extended abstract of your thesis work, including: title, author information, abstract, keywords, thesis research summary, and references. This extended abstract, if accepted for the Doctoral Consortium, will be published in the WMCSA 2006 Post-proceedings. Thus it will be widely available to conference delegates and those with access to ACM publications. The extended abstract should clearly specify: * the problem(s) that the research is addressing; the research question(s) you are trying to answer. * the expected contribution(s) of the research to mobility * the proposed solution(s), including a brief description of the methodology adopted (for example, with the scheme Method-Results-Discussion for experimental studies), of the current status, and of a tentative plan for future work. STATEMENT OF EXPECTED BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATION Prepare one paragraph explaining what specific guidance or other help you expect to gain from participating in the consortium.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Reminder: Call for Paper NOSSDAV 2006 Date: Tue, 10 Jan 2006 11:10:07 -0500 From: Michael Zink <zink(a)newworld.cs.umass.edu> To: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Dear Colleagues, this is a reminder that the DEADLINE for NOSSDAV 2006 is coming up next month (Feb. 15)! We wish you all the best for 2006! Carsten Griwodz & Michael Zink ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS NOSSSDAV 2006 For sixteen years, NOSSDAV has fostered cutting-edge, state-of-the-art research in multimedia and newly emerging areas such as networked games and peer-to-peer streaming. The workshop environment encourages lively discussion among participants and invites strong feedback for work in progress. In 2006, NOSSDAV will be held in Newport, Rhode Island. The beautiful harbor front location is home to sailing, beaches, golfing, biking, and fishing. NOSSDAV invites submissions on all areas of multimedia computing and networking and strongly encourages work in progress in emerging areas. Papers grounded in high-quality experimental research based on prototype and real systems are highly valued. Additionally, papers proposing new directions for research or calling into question existing conventional wisdom are welcomed. This year, NOSSDAV will give extra consideration to papers where the source code to experimental or real systems is released. And, NOSSDAV will also give extra consideration to papers that aim to comprehensively validate previous work in some topic within multimedia. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Peer-to-peer streaming * Networked games * Sensor networks and architectures * In-network stream processing * Wireless and mobile multimedia systems * 3D multimedia and tele-immersion * Streaming 3D graphics and virtual worlds * Application-level multicast * Multimedia security * Digital rights management * Real-time operating system support for multimedia * Multimedia middleware and frameworks A broad view will be taken in deciding what topics are within scope. Please feel free to contact the workshop co-chairs if you are unsure and wish to check if a particular paper or topic is within the workshop scope. As always, student participation is strongly encouraged. To encourage a good mix of seasoned researchers as well as students, we will be offering discounted registration for student members who attend with their faculty advisor. Submissions (as well as the camera ready final versions of accepted papers) should be no longer than 6 pages. We expect these submissions to be the kernel of what will eventually lead to full-length papers at high-quality conferences or journals. Important Dates: Paper registration: February 8, 2006 (5pm Eastern US) Paper submission: February15, 2006 (5pm Eastern US) Notification: April 5, 2006 Camera ready: April 19, 2006 Conference: May 22-23, 2006 For further information see: http://www.nossdav.org/2006/ or contact the workshop co-chairs: Brian Levine (brian(a)cs.umass.edu) Mark Claypool (claypool(a)cs.wpi.edu)
