It is expected that sensor networks will have a significant impact on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to health-care, to domestic, to environmental, establishing ubiquitous wireless sensor networks that will pervade society redefining the way in which we live and work. Recently, in an attempt to integrate sensor networks in the fabric of human activities it has been recognized that it would be beneficial to augment sensor networks by either actuators or actors. Actuators are simple devices programmed to take immediate, one-shot, action in response to sensory input. Actors are more sophisticated entities that, in addition to actuating can provide a meaningful, long-term, interaction with the environment. This long-term interaction presupposes intelligent coordination with both the sensory data but also with anticipated changes in the environment. The resulting augmented version of sensor networks is commonly referred to as Sensor Actor Networks (SANET). SANET 2007 has for stated goal to be a high-profile workshop that brings together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification, and implementation of architectures and protocols for current and future applications of SANETs. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in SANET * Modeling and simulation of SANET * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Distributed control in sensor-actor networks * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in SANET * Probabilistic integration in SANET * SANET control and management * SANET security and robustness * SANET architectural and operational models * Applications and prototypes Paper Submission Submit a full paper of about 8 pages (ACM single-space, double-column format), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page. Accepted papers will be published by published by ACM Press and distributed at the workshop; copies of the Proceedings will also be available for sale from ACM after the workshop. Papers must be submitted electronically through the EDAS system Important Dates Manuscript Submission: May 14, 2007, 11:59 GMT Acceptance Notification: June 18, 2007 Final Manuscript Due: July 13, 2007 Program Co-Chairs Silvia Giordano, SUPSI, Swittzerland Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA David Simplot-Ryl, University of Lille, INRIA, France Program Committee see web site.

The Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) band has been allocated in the USA at 5.9 GHz for vehicle-to- roadside (V2R) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, while the IEEE 802.11p working group is developing enhancements of 802.11 standards to support ITS, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), vehicular telematics, and infotainment applications. It is anticipated that a single wireless access technology may not suit the needs of all vehicular communication applications, but a heterogeneous wireless networking platform needs to be developed and optimized. Numerous exciting research challenges exist for designing wireless networking protocols for vehicular communication applications.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] CFP: IEEE Transactions of Multimedia, Special Issue on Multimedia Applications in Mobile/Wireless Context Datum: Sat, 7 Apr 2007 17:13:36 +0800 Von: Wei Tsang Ooi <ooiwt(a)COMP.NUS.EDU.SG> Antwort an: Wei Tsang Ooi <ooiwt(a)COMP.NUS.EDU.SG> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG IEEE Transactions on Multimedia -------------------------------------------------- Special Issue on Multimedia Applications in Mobile/Wireless Context -------------------------------------------------- Mobile computing is cultivating an environment for novel multimedia applications. The very nature of mobile computing requires non-traditional human-to-human and human-to-machine interactions. Due to design limitations of mobile devices (such as lack of keyboard), multimedia-based interaction becomes a natural mode of interaction in mobile computing. Further, mobile context automatically induces a rich set of meta information (semantic or non semantic) and provides different senses (other than audio visual) to the users. For example, information such as location, environmental temperature, or subject velocity brings new dimensions to the problem space. The meta information from different senses may help us create new solutions that are not possible using traditional multimedia techniques. Mobile computing also presents challenging resource (bandwidth/storage/ computing/power) constraints for multimedia applications that are often resource-intensive. Such constraints become even more stringent in emerging mobile communication environments such as ad-hoc networks, vehicular area networks, and sensor and actor network. Finding solutions to such impedance mismatch is crucial to deployment of rich multimedia applications on mobile platforms. We have started to see innovative mobile multimedia applications and system/algorithm designs in this context, but many challenging issues remain to be solved. This special issue solicits research papers addressing research challenges in multimedia applications in the context of mobile computing. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: - New multimedia-based interaction techniques that naturally bridge the interface between human and mobile devices. - New techniques that address the conflict between resource limitation and the desire for natural multimedia-based interaction in mobile computing. - Innovative uses of rich meta information (semantic or non semantic) automatically induced in the mobile context to context-aware searching and context-aware processing of multimedia content. - System design considering infrastructure-to-mobile and mobile-to-mobile multimedia content delivery and distribution. - Novel uses of non-audio/visual senses in mobile computing context. - Multimedia over mobile wireless networks with special emphasis on emerging mobile networking environments, i.e., ad-hoc networks, vehicular area networks, and mobile sensor and actor networks.

IM4WiN narrows this focus and goal to apply specifically to wireless networks. The focus of IM4WiN is on measurement and analysis of wireless networks that are already part of the Internet or are planned to be eventually connected. Within this scope, IM4WiN is interested in papers whose primary focus is measurement and/or analysis of data with the goal that this activity leads to meaningful understanding of important network properties and/or new protocols, systems, technology, and/or best practices. Papers that fall outside of this scope will not be accepted. Examples of good topics with the IM4WiN scope include: * Challenges in heterogeneous wireless networks (3G, WiFi, Wimax) * Benchmarks for wireless algorithms, protocols and applications * Operational experience concerning wireless network performance * Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility * Challenges with wireless measurements * Experimental (in)validation of wireless network assumptions * Metrics for wireless network performance evaluation * Wireless network troubleshooting techniques and recommendations * Experience with building/designing/expanding wireless networks * Description of tools for building and/or managing test beds * Techniques for improving experiment repeatability * Techniques for validating wireless test bed results * Measurement-based guidelines for network design * Wireless security * Wireless vehicular networks * Wireless networking as infrastructure in developing regions * Energy efficient protocols and design IM4WiN is seeking up to 6 two-column pages, formatted exactly to the requirements specified on the IMC/IM4WiN web page, and submitted according to the instructions contained therein.
