Please notice the New Submission Deadline! *** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Third IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN'09) June 26, 2009, Montreal, Quebec, Canada in conjunction with ICDCS 2009 http://www.cse.nd.edu/~darts/wiman09.html New Submission Deadline: December 17, 2008 *************************************************************************************************** Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade's research effort in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. The main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless networks. It also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: - Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking - Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking - MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) - Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols - Quality of Services provisioning - Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks - Network deployment, localization, and synchronization - Topology construction and maintenance - Modeling and performance evaluations - Cross layer optimizations - Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms - Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks - Testbed, prototype, and practical systems - Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks - Vehicular mesh and ad hoc networks - Wireless sensor networks - Self-adaptive and self-organizing wireless networking systems Important Dates ----------------------- - Paper submission due: December 17, 2008 - Acceptance notification: February 7, 2009 - Camera-ready due: March 7, 2009 - Workshop: June 26, 2009 Submissions and Publications -------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Reminder: CfP First International Workshop on Quality of Context (QuaCon 09) Datum: Fri, 5 Dec 2008 14:40:56 +0100 Von: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE **************************** Call for Papers *************************** First International Workshop on Quality of Context (QuaCon '09) http://www.quacon09.nexus.uni-stuttgart.de/ 25 - 26 June, 2009 Stuttgart, Germany ************************************************************************ Advances in sensor technology, wireless communication, and mobile devices lead to the proliferation of sensors in our physical environment. At the same time detailed digital models of buildings, towns, or even the globe become widely available. Integrating the huge amount of available sensor data into spatial models results in highly dynamic models of the real world, often called context models. A wide range of applications can substantially benefit from common context models. However, context data is inherently associated with uncertainty, which has to be taken into account by both context management systems and applications. Appropriate ontologies, models, and metrics are needed to specify the quality of context data, including aspects of degradation, consistency, and trust. Those concepts are needed on different levels of abstraction, including the raw sensor data, observable context, as well as the high-level context derived from other context information by means of reasoning techniques. In addition, methods and calculi are required to assess the quality of context data on various levels. For an integrated context-management approach a framework is needed that defines the appropriate abstraction levels and that provides quality mappings between these layers. Other important issues are application-specific quality concepts and methods to handle uncertain context data. If context data is to be presented to human users, appropriate visualizing techniques are required to present the data together with its quality assessments. On the other hand, if applications specify what level of degradation they accept, this information can be used to optimize context management by means of suitable relaxation techniques. Research in context management and in particular context quality requires an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, the QuaCon Workshop aims to bring together researchers from various fields to discuss approaches to context quality and to make a consolidated contribution towards an integrated way of treating context quality. Topics covered by the workshop include the following: - Models for degradation and consistency of context data - Degradation, spatial ontologies and spatial data mining - Trust in context data - Methods and calculi for context quality assessment - Frameworks and metrics for context quality - Uncertainty in sensor data processing - Quality-aware algorithms for context management - Quality-aware event and stream processing - Uncertainty in reasoning on context data - Application-specific context quality and case studies - Visualization of context quality Submitted papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by the program committee, and accepted papers will be published in the post-workshop proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series. All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 10 pages and be formatted according to the LNCS guidelines [1]. Papers not adhering to these guidelines or the page limit are subject to rejection without review.

[Tccc] CFP: GeoSensor Networks 2009, Oxford, UK
by Andrew Markham 04 Dec '08

04 Dec '08

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS GEOSENSOR NETWORKS 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13-14 July 2009, Oxford, United Kingdom Website: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/geosensornetworks/ Sponsored by: University of Oxford Papers to be published by Springer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Geosensor networks shift the traditional centralized paradigm of monitoring a geographical area from the macroscale to the microscale, by using distributed sensors to measure variables of interest (such as environmental, biological and chemical variables, seismic activity and geolocated videofeeds). Whilst having the ability to provide data with unparalleled temporal and spatial resolution, geosensor networks have pushed the frontiers of traditional GIS research into the realms of computer science, introducing issues such as data fusion, geolocated queries, energy efficient data collection and data mining and interpretation. The incorporation of mobile devices into these networks allows data acquisition to be undertaken on a spatially varying sampling resolution, introducing new research avenues such as co-operative sensing and dynamic coverage. Furthermore, geosensor networks are not only constrained to passively monitor a region, through actuators, they also have the ability to influence or modify their environment. Research in geosensor networks spans multiple fields, ranging from strategies for intelligent data acquisition to virtual reality interactions with environmental dynamics. Of particular interest are applications of geosensor networks, such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, early warning systems and wildlife tracking.
