Such a network consists of many small sensor nodes with sensing, control, data processing, communications, and networking capabilities. The wireless sensor networks have a broad spectrum applications ranging from wild life monitoring and battlefield surveillance to border control and disaster relief, and have attracted significant interests from both academy and industry. A wireless sensor node generally has limited storage and computation capabilities, as well as severely constrained power supplies, and the networks often operate in harsh unattended environments. Successful design and deployment of wireless sensor networks thus call for technology advances and integrations in diverse fields including embedded hardware manufacturing and signal processing as well as wireless communications and networking across all layers. We have seen the initial and incremental deployment of real sensor networks in the past decade, for example, the ZebraNet for wildlife tracking, the CitySense for weather and air pollutants reporting, and the Sensormap portal for generic monitoring services, to name but a few; yet the full potentials of such networks in the real world remain to be explored and demonstrated, which involves numerous practical challenges in diverse aspects. This special issue aims to summarize the latest development in the design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless sensor systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Practical architecture and protocol design for sensor communications and networking * Management, monitoring, and diagnosis of sensor networks * Implementation and measurement of experimental systems and testbeds * Experience with real-world deployments of wireless sensor networks * Interactions with ubiquitous communication and networking infrastructures * Novel killer applications of wireless sensor networks We solicit original unpublished research papers only. Papers previously published in conference/workshop proceedings can be considered, but should be substantially extended. Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/guidelines.html. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable: Manuscript Due February 15, 2010 First Round of Reviews May 15, 2010 Publication Date August 15, 2010 Guest Editors * Jiangchuan Liu, School of Computing Science, Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada * Jiannong Cao, Department of Computing, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong * Xiang-Yang Li, Department of Computer Science, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, IL, USA * Limin Sun, Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing, China * Dan Wang, Department of Computing, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong * Edith C.-H.

The aim of this workshop is to address the current and future trends in these topics with a particular attention to aspects that are in common, with the goal to foster interdisciplinary collaborative research in this areas. While the main focus of the workshop is on simulation tools and gaming technologies, the workshop also encourages the submission of broader theoretical and practical research contributions, such as the report of relevant case studies. Cross-disciplinary position papers, posing problems and giving input to the involved communities, are particularly encouraged. Furthermore, one of the aim of the workshop is to bring academic and industry researchers together with practitioners. General areas include, but are not limited to: * Online Gaming and Digital Virtual Environments: - Design and implementation of massively populated online games - Load balancing and distribution techniques - Region based partitioning, areas of interest and event filtering techniques - Simulation of games - Scalability - Interoperability - Cheating avoidance, security and availability * Distributed Simulation Techniques and Methodologies: - Synchronization and communication management - Data Distribution Management (DDM) - Load balancing techniques - Simulation interoperability techniques * Tools for the Implementation of Online Games and Distributed Simulation: - Peer-to-peer architectures - Structured/unstructured peer-to-peer communication strategies (DHTs, gossip, etc.) - Publish/subscribe mechanisms - Usage of existing middlewares for the implementation of games - High Level Architecture (IEEE 1516) - Open standards - Communication protocols ============================= Submission Details ============================= Papers must be written in English, should not exceed 8 pages, and have to comply with the ACM conference proceedings format.

The unique characteristics of mobile networks pose a number of challenges in terms of security, such as trust establishment, key management, privacy and anonymity. This special section aims to identify and explore the different issues and challenges related to security aspects in mobile networks. What are the benefits or inconvenience of mobility on security? What are the appropriate mobility models to have a good level of security? Are Classical IDS approaches appropriate for mobile environments? How can we build up trusted platforms and trustworthy systems for mobile networks? This special session will be held in conjunction with ACM Mobility Conference 2009, an ideal vehicle for bringing together researchers, scientists, engineers, academics and students all around the world to share the latest updates on new mobile technologies that would shape the next generation of mobile systems and technology platforms. We are interested in the areas, but are not limited to, the following topics: Submission Topics 1. Trust management in mobile networks 2. Risk management in mobile networks 3. Privacy in mobile networks 4. Cryptographic devices for mobile networks 5. Key management in mobile networks 6. Authentication in mobile networks 7. Access control in mobile networks 8. Anonymity in mobile networks 9. Reliability and fault tolerance in mobile networks 10. Secure mobile routing protocols 11. Security under resource constraints 12. Performance and security trade-offs in mobile networks 13. Intrusion detection in mobile networks 14. Secure mobile location services 15. Denial of service in mobile networks Please take note of the important deadlines: Papers Submission: 19 April 2010 Notification of Acceptance of Paper: 24 May 2010 Full papers Submission Deadline: 28 June 2010 Author Early Registration Deadline: 05 July 2010 Conference: 30 August - 1 September 2010 Lei SHU -- Specially Assigned Research Fellow, EB, KSII Transactions (TIIS) Nishio Lab., Department of Multimedia Engineering Graduate School of Information Science and Technology Osaka University, Japan http://sites.google.com/site/leonleishu/ Email: lei.shu(a)ieee.org _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
