Kind regards, Mischa. ________________________________ Dr Mischa Dohler France Telecom R&D Senior Research Expert Tel: +33 4 76 76 45 14 Fax: +33 4 76 76 44 50 Mob: +33 6 74 70 86 75 Eml: mischa.dohler(a)orange-ft.com Www: google "Mischa Dohler" ________________________________ EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Special Issue on Novel Techniques for Analysis & Design of Cross-Layer Optimized Wireless Sensor Networks Sensor networks have been researched and deployed for decades; their wireless extension, however, has witnessed a tremendous upsurge in recent years. This is mainly attributed to the unprecedented operating conditions of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), i.e. - a potentially enormous amount of sensor nodes, - reliably operating under stringent energy constraints. The virtually infinite degrees of freedom of wireless sensor networks have ignited intense research activities, which in turn led to thousands of publications, white papers and patents in less than a decade, with new contributions emerging on a daily basis. The rich mathematical and technical toolboxes already available from the design of wireless cellular and ad hoc systems clearly aided the birth of new ideas tailored to the problems in WSNs. To date, the main problem in deploying WSNs is their dependence on limited battery power. A main design criterion is to extend the lifetime of the network without jeopardizing reliable and efficient communications from sensor nodes to other nodes or to data sinks. A prominent example of today's non-optimized WSN deployment experiences is that the start-up alone costs the network half its battery power. Optimizing every facet of the communication protocols is therefore vital and imperative. Such stringent design requirements can be met by a plethora of approaches, e.g. optimizing each layer of the protocol stack separately (traditional) or jointly (cross-layer), for each node separately (traditional) or for an ensemble of nodes (distributed and cooperative), etc. This has led to copious novel distributed signal processing algorithms, energy-efficient medium access control and fault-tolerant routing protocols, self-organizing and self-healing sensor network mechanisms, etc. In the light of the above, the main purpose of this special issue is twofold: - to obtain a coherent and concise technical synthesis from the abundance of recently emerged material in the area of WSNs, and - to promote novel approaches in analyzing, designing and optimizing large-scale WSNs, preferably inspired by approaches from other disciplines, such as physics or biology. Very few papers are currently available which synthesize the large amount of fairly dispersed technical contributions; a coherent exposure, also touching upon open research issues, will certainly be appreciated by the academic and industrial research community. We believe that novel approaches, potentially inspired by entirely disjoint disciplines, may help considerably in dealing with networks of thousands of nodes. Topics of interest in the area of energy-constraint WSNs include, but are not limited to: - network capacity w/out imperfections - joint source and channel coding - cooperative and distributed signal processing - data fusion and data aggregation - novel PHY, MAC and network paradigms - cross-layer and cross-functionality design - security, robustness, reliability - self-healing, self-stabilization, self-organization - applications, architectures and topologies - (macroscopic) information flows - physically and biologically inspired approaches Submission details can be found under (copy entire link): http://www.hindawi.com/GetPage.aspx?journal=WCN&page=CLOWS.

[Fwd: [Tccc] TERENA Networking Conference TNC 2007 - Call for Papers]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] TERENA Networking Conference TNC 2007 - Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 11:26:35 +0200 Von: Thomas C Schmidt <schmidt(a)informatik.haw-hamburg.de> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS TERENA Networking Conference 2007 21 - 24 May Lyngby, Denmark Visible Services - Transparent Networks The TERENA Networking Conference 2007 is organised by the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association and hosted by UNI-C, the Danish IT centre for education and research. The conference will be held at the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby, a vibrant university town just north of Copenhagen. Transportation will be provided between Lyngby and the city of Copenhagen where most of the hotels and social events are located. TERENA Networking Conferences are well-established events focusing on new directions, trends and technology. The conference brings together leading figures from research, management, industry and governance to present and discuss the technical and strategic aspects of the provision of networks and services to the research and education community. In the modern world the availability of fresh water, gas and electricity in our homes is taken for granted to such an extent that we rarely have to think about the underlying infrastructure. As the exchange of information and networked service becomes more pervasive and integrated into every aspect of our lives, it is important that this infrastructure acquires the same degree of transparency. The underlying network infrastructure needs to become more transparent, so that we can focus all of our attention on providing applications that deliver high quality services that are easy and intuitive to use. In this way it should be possible to raise the visibility of services above that of the supporting technology. It is my pleasure to invite you to bring your experiences, ideas and results to TNC 2007 and share them with colleagues from the international research and education networking community. Thomas C. Schmidt Programme Committee Chair CONFERENCE TOPICS Extended abstracts (rather than full papers) are invited on all subjects relevant to the spirit and objectives of the conference: to present, discuss and learn about the latest developments in networking technology for the research and education community and their use by the community. The topics below are an indication of the planned scope of the conference, but are not meant to be restrictive. VISIBLE SERVICES * Connecting Users - voice over IP, videoconferencing, streaming and immersive environments * Protecting Users - user privacy, legislative issues and policies, delegations and spam fighting * Enabling Users - bandwidth-on-demand, mobility and roaming, identity management, federations and location-based services * Novel Uses - e-science, e-arts/humanities, environmental monitoring, advanced and mobile Web technologies and content networks TRANSPARENT NETWORKS * Quality Infrastructure - quality of service, measurement and monitoring, high-speed/optical networks and service management * Protecting the Infrastructure - redundancy, intrusion detection and prevention and security design * Beyond the Infrastructure - autonomous networks, peer-to-peer, mobile ad hoc networks, overlays, storage and sensor networks * Getting to the Infrastructure - access networks, bridging the gap on campus and advanced mobile technologies Extended abstracts of 600 - 1200 words (rather than full papers) can be submitted via the drop box at: http://tnc2007.terena.nl/submit/ The deadline for submission is *30 November 2006* and authors should follow the submission and formatting instructions for extended abstracts. PUBLICATION Selected papers from the conference will be published in a special edition of 'Campus-Wide Information Systems' (Emerald Publishing) in the autumn of 2007. Authors of extended extracts that are selected to be presented at the conference and all invited speakers will be encouraged to submit a full paper.
