[Mycolleagues] AASN'2008: Call for Paper, less than one week to deadline

12 Aug '08

[Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] CALL FOR PAPERS First International Workshop on Autonomous and Automated Sensor Networks, AASN http://sigappfr.acm.org/cstst08/workshops/aasn/ To be held in conjunction with The 5th IEEE International Conference on Soft Computing as Transdisciplinary Science and Technology (CSTST’2008), Cergy-Pontoise/Paris, FRANCE, October 26-30, 2008. Summary and Topics: Thanks to technological advances, wired and wireless sensor networks are attracting an increasing attention that promotes their large-scale deployments in many applications, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and scientific exploration. Continuous improvements are motivating works in addressing specific sensor network issues spanning hardware, network protocols, architecture, operating systems, and applications. Furthermore, emergent needs to fulfill a variety of heterogeneous requirements are highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary networks that control their processing and manage their resources by means of self-organizing techniques. These techniques particularly require sharing the decision-making process over hundreds of low-power, short lifetimes sensors. The achievement of this goal is still facing an urgent and challenging question on how to provide these spatially distributed sensors with reasonable autonomy that help them in performing the right action, at the right time for the sake of fulfilling current requirements while increasing the lifetime of the entire sensor network and guaranteeing reliable and enduring pathway communications. Automating the sensor network activities is also an urgent and challenging issue especially that commonly sensing devices are operating unattended in remote and hostile areas where manual maintenance is nearly impossible. Since predefined and late decisions do not help much in improving the efficiency of networked sensing devices, automation and autonomy are very important mechanisms in addressing upcoming developments that target multi-services, collaborating, or competing sensor networks. To reach these goals, the first International Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks is seeking novel ideas in the following topics that include, but not limited to: - Heterogeneous sensor networks - Multi-service sensor networks - Sensor network control - Automated sensing activities - Competing sensors or sensor networks - Collaborating sensors and sensor networks - Semantic-based management of sensor networks - Resource management in sensor networks - Context awareness in sensor networks - Self-organization and self-adaptation in sensor networks - New architectures and protocols for sensor networks - New sensor network applications - Sensor network maintenance - Intelligent sensors and sensor networks - Data management in sensor networks - Data and resource sharing in sensor networks Important Dates: Submission deadline: August 17th 2008 Acceptance notification: September 07th 2008 Camera ready papers: September 17th 2008 Submission Guidelines: (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cstst08) This Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF or MS Word files and should be uploaded using the conference website. Full paper submissions should be in ACM format with a limit of 6 pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 independent reviewers of the PC. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics. At least one author should attend the workshop to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be indexed by ACM Digital Libraries and published with an ISBN.

[Mycolleagues] CFP:Wireless Personal Communications (Special Issue on Cross-Layer Design for Future Generation Wireless Networks)
by Chih-Yung Chang 12 Aug '08

12 Aug '08

Call For Papers Wireless Personal Communications (Springer) Special Issue on “Cross-Layer Design for Future Generation Wireless Networks” With the rapid development of wireless technologies, the future generation wireless networks have more challenges for providing reliable and high quality end-to-end performance in wireless multimedia communications. Recently, a cross-layer design has become a popular topic in which more and more researchers are engaged. That leads to a lot of cross-layer design proposals for wireless networks. This special issue is intended to foster state-of-the-art research pertaining to cross-layer design in the area of future generation wireless networks. The emphasis of this special issue will be on cross-layer protocol interactions and design of cross-layer optimized techniques. The issue will focus on a range of future generation wireless networks cross-layer design related topics including network architectures, mobility management, session mobility, security mechanism, services, and novel applications associated with their utilization, and hybrid routing protocols for mobile wireless networks, e.g., cellular/WLAN/WiMAX/ad hoc networks. Submitted papers for this special issue are expected to focus on cross-layer design related to future generation wireless networks and to present novel results and solutions to solve various problems and challenges foreseen in future generation wireless networks. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Final selection of papers will be based on their quality and relevance to this special issue as well as the journal. Papers submitted for consideration for this special issue must be written in English and describe original research not published or currently under review by other journals. Topics Topics of interest include but are not limited to following: - Cross-layer architectures for wireless communications (3G, 4G, ad hoc networks, WLAN, or hybrid networks) - Cross-layer Design, implementation and test-bed results - Cross-layer end-to-end QoS support for wireless networks - Cross-layer mobility management and session mobility - Cross-layer secure mechanism for future generation wireless networks - Application layer adaptation based on cross-layer notifications - Complexity and scalability issues in cross-layer design - Cross-layer design of MAC, RLC, and routing protocols in wireless networks - Cross-layer adaptation for energy minimization in wireless networks - Cross-layer design framework for real-time multimedia streaming Submission Information Authors should follow the Wireless Personal Communications Journal manuscript format described in the Instructions for Authors link on the journal site: www.springer.com/11277.
