Apologies if you have received multiple copies ------------------------------------------------ Springer the Journal of Cluster Computing http://www.springer.com/computer/communications/journal/10586 Call for Paper Special Issue: Algorithm and Distributed Computing in Wireless Sensor Networks http://home.simula.no/~yanzhang/cfp/WSN-cfp.html Introduction ============ Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are attracting significant interests in both academy and industry with recent advances of the enabling technologies, including digital electronics, embedded systems, signal processing, and wireless communications. A WSN consists of a large number of small sensors with sensing, control, data processing, communications, and networking capabilities. WSNs are characterized of dense node deployment, unreliable sensor, frequent topology change, and severe power, computation, and memory constraints. These unique characteristics pose considerable challenges on the design of large-scale WSNs. In addition, sensor networks usually transmit data and operate in hostile unattended environments, the requirements and design of sensor networks are significantly different from other wireless networks like cellular network, ad hoc networks or mesh networks. In such scenarios, distributed algorithms without global information exchange have compelling characteristics, e.g. lower overhead and energy consumption. To achieve the full potential of limited resource, there is always trade-off problem in investigating the sensor networks performance. Such formulated problem normally needs efficient, distributed, scalable, and robust algorithms. The issues include routing, MAC, energy-efficient protocols, topology control in sensor networks. Classical approaches may be employed, e.g. dynamic programming, integer programming, game theory, and simulated annealing. However, the problems in different scenarios require different analytical model as well as algorithms to achieve optimal performance. This special issue aims to foster the research with any new idea, approach, theory, and technique to resolve the issues in sensor networks from the algorithmic and/or distributed computing perspective. Original and research articles are solicited including new technologies, theoretical studies, practical applications, and experimental prototypes.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] 2nd International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems [AUTONOMICS 2008] Datum: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:08:13 +0100 Von: Antonio Di Ferdinando <diferdin(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ======================================================================== Please accept our apologies if you have received multiple copies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ***** AUTONOMICS 2008 ***** 2nd International Conference on Autonomic Computing and Communication Systems http://www.autonomics.eu/ September 23-25, 2008, Turin, Italy In recent years, a plethora of electronic devices embedded into everyday objects and able to interface with the surrounding environment have emerged, foreshadowing the deployment of pervasive context-aware services. Similar to the Internet, these trends will revolutionize existing paradigms of communication, networking, and computing. In particular, the complexity hidden in such dynamic large-scale networks and services calls for self-management and autonomicity as a necessary condition for obtaining purposeful systems. The challenges posed by such a vision cover a wide range of disciplines and sciences, including computing, communication, distributed systems, and control systems. Further, these challenges call for a new, integrated and multidisciplinary approach to pervasive computing and communication environments, giving rise to a new converged science, able to work at the junction of systems, computing and communication sciences. The Autonomics conference provides an international forum driving the emergent science of autonomic systems, bringing together research communities in communication and computing, promoting cross-fertilization among the different disciplines involved. Scope: The primary research challenges faced are the communication, design, programming, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of autonomic, pervasive, context-aware systems running on top of dynamic, possibly large-scale, distributed systems. Authors are invited to submit papers to Autonomics 2008 reporting on original research related to the design, implementation, analysis, evaluation, and deployment of autonomic systems. The conference intends to attract attendees with diverse backgrounds. We solicit papers in autonomic, pervasive, and context-aware systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of autonomic systems - Models and metrics - Energy-efficient algorithms - Programming paradigms - Middleware for pervasive systems - Software architectures and toolkits - Positioning and tracking technologies - Architectures & algorithms for self-* systems - Privacy, security, dynamic trust and social issues - Location- and context-awareness - Tools, languages and platforms - Applications and systems - Resource, network and service (self) management - Enabling technologies for pervasive environments Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. _________________________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT DATES Full paper due: June 8, 2008 Notification of acceptance: July 10, 2008 Final version due: August 15, 2008 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit full papers of up to 10 pages in ACM conference proceedings format through Easychair.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: IEEE QoISN'08: QoI for Sensor Networks: Submission due date: May 15, 2008 Datum: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:22:07 -0400 Von: Chatschik Bisdikian <bisdik(a)us.ibm.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ------------------------------------------- QoISN: First IEEE Workshop on Quality of Information (QoI) for Sensor Networks ------------------------------------------- September 29 - October 2, 2008 Atlanta, Georgia [in conjunction with the: Fifth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (IEEE MASS 2008)] Workshop co-chairs: Chatschik Bisdikian IBM T.J. Watson Research Center bisdik(a)us.ibm.com James P. Richardson and Vicraj Thomas Honeywell Labs {james.p.richardson, vic.thomas}(a)honeywell.com http://www.cse.psu.edu/IEEEMASS08/qoisn.htm ------------------------------------------- In the dynamic, ad-hoc world envisaged for wireless sensor networks, the notion of the quality of information (QoI) produced by the network will be key to bringing together data capturing and information processing systems to support the on-demand information needs of a broad spectrum of applications such as remote real-time habitat monitoring, utility grid monitoring, environmental control, supply-chain management, health care, machinery control, intelligent highways, military intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), border control, and hazardous material monitoring. QoI, broadly speaking, represents a level of confidence that may be placed on information. It touches every part of the end-to-end flow of sensor-derived information, from the sensors themselves and the observation data they produce to the various fusion layers that process these data and eventually to the applications (and their users) that use them. The objective of the QoISN Workshop is to foster constructive discussions among researchers from academic, industrial and governmental institutions for formalizing the science of QoI for sensor networks. We seek novel contributions covering all aspects of QoI for sensor network, including: - Formal QoI characterization and representation; - QoI performance metrics and estimation techniques; - Sensor fault analysis and sensor data cleansing and their impact on QoI; - QoI-aware networking; - Security, privacy, and data provenance and their impact on QoI; - QoI driven data fusion; - QoI calculus, brokering, and trade-off analysis; - QoI-driven system design; - QoI impact at the application level (e.g., detection-based decision making - and surveillance analysis) Paper preparation/submission details: Authors should prepare a PDF file following the IEEE single-space, two-column format using at least 10 point size type. The maximum page limit is 6 pages. Papers deemed outside the scope of the Workshop or longer than 6 pages will be administratively disqualified. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and published by IEEE. The paper must be correctly formatted to fit on U.S. "letter" size page (8.5" by 11") with at least 1" margins on all 4 sides. Please use only standard fonts such as Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as related information, can be found at the IEEE Computer Society website. Paper submission is managed through EDAS ( http://www.edas.info/showConferenceDetails.php?c=6460&). All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Please submit your paper to EDAS. Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will register and attend the workshop to present the work. Following the convention of past MASS conferences, there will be NO workshop-only or workshop-specific registration. A full conference registration is needed and will include the ability to attend any workshop and regular conference session. ------------------------------------------- Important dates Submission deadline: May 15, 2008 Acceptance Notification: June 26, 2008 Camera-ready paper due: July 18, 2009 ------------------------------------------- The QoISN'08 Workshop Program Co-Chairs _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Nodes in today’s challenged networks often include mobile nodes, space-based nodes, sensor/ actuator nodes and other devices. Performance of the network paths interconnecting such nodes can be highly varying in terms of bandwidth, latency, disruption characteristics and security requirements. Conventional Internet access in performance-limited environments such as developing countries can also be regarded as challenged networks as can be ad-hoc communication between personal devices. The Internet protocol architecture suffers some problems when used in a challenged network setting. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop following CHANTS 2007, CHANTS 2006 and WDTN 2005, we wish to explore ongoing efforts in dealing with physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also in scope. We are solictiting papers addressing aspects in challenged networks including (but not limited to): - Characterization of performance-challenged networks e.g. measurements, modelling - Networking systems operating over unusual/challenged networks - Protocol design and evaluation of operations over challenged networks - System architecture and design for challenged networks - Applications in challenged networks - Robust network application design and implementation techniques - Delay tolerant and disruption tolerant networks (DTN) - Configuration and management of challenged networks Submissions may include presentations of specific systems or performance measurements, as well as architectural papers addressing new concerns. Papers that bring out problems in the existing proposals for challenged networks or that report operational experience will be favored. Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to have a highly interactive workshop focusing on evolving this area of network research and continuing to build its community. Paper format and submission instructions: Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, two columns, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page.
