The trend over the last 30 years has been to regard humans as the least reliable (and least secure) parts of the system, but the human is often the only part of the system which is directly aware of the security requirement. Our intention is to stimulate discussion, not merely to consider finished work. As with previous years, attendance is by invitation only; to be invited you must submit a position paper. You are therefore encouraged to submit such a paper (see web site). ____________________________________________________________ USENIX 2006 Title: 2006 USENIX Annual Technical Conference (USENIX'06) Deadline: 2006-01-17 Webpage: http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix06/index.html Conference: May 30 - June 3, 2006 Contact: usenix06chairs(a)usenix.org Location: Boston, MA, USA Synopsis: The Program Committee for the Systems Practice & Experience Track (formerly the the Refereed Papers General Track) is seeking your participation. Please note that the submissions deadline is January 17, 2006. Authors are invited to submit original and innovative papers that further the knowledge and understanding of modern computing systems, with an emphasis on practical implementations and experimental results. We encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results based on experience with computer systems. The USENIX conference has a broad scope, and we encourage papers in a wide range of topics in systems. ____________________________________________________________ SIGCOMM 2006 Title: ACM SIGCOMM 2006 Abstract: 2006-02-03 Deadline: 2006-02-10 Webpage: http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/sigcomm2006/ Conference: September 11-15, 2006 Contact: Location: Pisa, Italy Synopsis: The SIGCOMM 2006 conference seeks papers describing significant research contributions to the field of computer and data communication networks. We invite submissions on network architecture, design, implementation, operations, analysis, measurement, and simulation.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Deadline Extended: Wiley IJCS Special Issue on Energy-Efficient Network Protocols and Algorithms on Wireless Sensor Networks]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Deadline Extended: Wiley IJCS Special Issue on Energy-Efficient Network Protocols and Algorithms on Wireless Sensor Networks Date: Sun, 1 Jan 2006 00:38:08 -0500 (EST) 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 * * * * A Special Issue * * of * * Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems * * on * * Energy-Efficient Network Protocols and Algorithms * * for Wireless Sensor Netowrks * * * ========================================================== Extended Deadline: January 20, 2006 Wireless sensor networking is an emerging technology that promises a wide range of potential applications in both civilian and military areas, and has therefore received tremendous attention from both academia and industry in recent years. A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of a large number of inexpensive and small nodes with sensing, data processing, and communication capabilities, which are densely 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 and ad hoc 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 practical realization of WSNs, such as energy conservation, self-organization, fault tolerance, etc. In particular, sensor nodes are usually battery-powered and should operate without attendance for a relatively long period of time. In most cases, it is very difficult and even impossible to change or recharge batteries for these sensor nodes. For this reason, energy efficiency is of primary importance for the operational lifetime of a sensor network. To prolong the lifetime of a sensor network, energy efficiency must be considered in almost every aspect of sensor network design, not only at the physical layer but also at the link layer and the network layer. From the networking perspective, energy efficiency must be considered in the design of various network protocols and algorithms, including those for topology discovery, self-organization, medium access control, routing, data aggregation, fault-tolerance, etc. An energy-efficient network protocol or algorithm can provide significant power savings in individual sensor nodes and thus prolong the lifetime of the entire network. However, most existing network protocols and algorithms for traditional wireless ad hoc networks cannot effectively address the power constraint and other constraints of sensor networks. To realize the vision of sensor networks, it is imperative to develop various energy-efficient network protocols and algorithms in order to efficiently use the limited power in each sensor node and prolong the lifetime of the network. The aim of this special issue is to present a collection of high-quality research papers that focus on energy-efficient network protocols and algorithms for WSNs. We are soliciting original contributions that were previously unpublished and are currently not under consideration by any other journal. As applicable to this theme, topics of interests include but are not limited to: - Topology discovery and self-organization - Medium access control (MAC) - Routing and data dissemination - Multicasting, geocasting, and broadcasting - Quality of service routing - Energy and resource management - Query processing and data aggregation - Localization and time synchronization - Fault-tolerance and self-healing - Performance modeling and analysis Prospective authors should prepare their manuscript in accordance with the publication format described in the Instructions to Authors (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jabout/5996/ForAuthors.html). There will be only one round of technical reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers requiring only minor to moderate revisions. Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscripts (which should be compressed if the file size exceeds 1 MB) to jzheng at ieee.org according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission: January 20, 2006 (Extended Deadline) Acceptance notification: May 1, 2006 Final manuscript due: July 1, 2006 Tentative publication date: Late 2006 Guest Editors Dr. Jun Zheng School of Information Technology and Engineering University of Ottawa 800 King Edward Street Ottawa, Ontario K1N 6N5, Canada Tel: (613)562-5800x6243 Fax: (613)562-5664 Email: jzheng at ieee.org Dr. Petre Dini Cisco Systems, Inc. 170 West Tasman Drive San Jose, CA 95134-1706, USA Tel: (408) 853-4050 Fax: (408) 527-6351 Email: pdini at cisco.com Prof. Abbas Jamalipour School of Electrical & Information Eng.
