[Tccc] Workshop on Sensor Networks for Earth and Space Science Applications (held at IPSN 2009)
by Panangadan, Anand V 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

Workshop on Sensor Networks for Earth and Space Science Applications (ESSA 2009) Held in conjunction with ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) San Francisco, CA, USA April 16, 2009 Wireless sensor networks and their applications have grown steadily during the past decade as a result of the convergence of various technologies spanning wireless, data processing algorithms, computing hardware, storage, and sensor capabilities. The pervasive nature of static and mobile sensors scattered throughout the environment enables multi-resolution capture of environmental or ambient information that serve as the basis of intelligence for knowledge inference and decision-making. Information processing for sensor networks enables new capabilities to operate autonomously and learn, perceive, reason, and react intelligently to their environments. Large scale sensor networks are now being used in a number of Earth and Space Science applications, including large-area terrestrial systems for geologic monitoring, volcano/plume monitoring, seismic (earthquake) monitoring, large-scale ocean monitoring for tsunamis, storm surges, plumes, algae blooms, and weather forecasting systems comprised of aerial and ground/coastal nodes. Such Earth and Space sensor networks are now evolving from "passive observation and reporting systems" to "active and reactive systems" that dynamically evolve in response to complex and rapid spatio-temporal events. This workshop is a forum for scientists and researchers to present new ideas and papers on sensor networks applications in the areas of Earth and Space Science. Papers on all aspects of Earth and Space Applications can be submitted to this workshop. We expect this workshop to have invited papers as well as contributed papers. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, are: - Monitoring of long range and large-scale phenomena - Geologic and Seismic monitoring - Chemical plumes and other atmospheric events - Oceanic events prediction and monitoring - Sensor networks applications in near space and deep space - Data fusion, compression, and processing for sensorwebs - Simulation, emulation, and experiments on sensor networks for Earth and Space Science - Databases, data search/mining technologies and knowledge extraction mechanisms from sensor networks in Earth and Space Science - Information management, and data visualization and display techniques for sensor networks - Signal processing, control, and resource management solutions for sensor networks - AI and machine learning for sensor networks - Intelligent networking and routing protocols for optimal operation of large-scale sensor networks Dates: Submission: February 28, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: March 22, 2009 Final Version Due: April 2, 2009 Webpage: http://viterbi.usc.edu/ESSA2009 General Chair: Srikanta Kumar, BAE Systems Program Co-Chairs: Ashit Talukder, JPL (Ashit.Talukder(a)jpl.nasa.gov) and Cauligi Raghavendra, USC (raghu(a)usc.edu) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Sensor Network for Building Monitoring: From Theory to Real Application
by Malka Nishanthi Halgamuge 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

CALL FOR PAPERS EJSE Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering Special Issue on Sensor Network for Building Monitoring: From Theory to Real Application http://www.ejse.org EJSE invites contributions on the above subject to the first issue of an ongoing series of special ssues in building monitoring using sensor networks. Monitoring and automatic control of building environment is a crucial application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The investigation of efficient sensor network design that minimizes energy dissipation in a battery of the sensor node with limited battery power is a vital consideration for sensor network lifetime. Therefore careful scheduling of battery power in sensor networks has become a critical issue in network design. Recent technological developments have permitted miniaturization and power efficiency of sensors, and integration of data into applications for building monitoring and computer interaction. Sensor networks illustrate an exceptional improvement over traditional sensors. However, there are still many challenges to be met before we see more widespread use of WSN in building monitoring applications. The principal objective of this special issue is to assemble papers on recent advances made in the area of sensor networks for monitoring buildings. Authors are specially invited to submit contributions in, (but not restricted to), the following topics: - Practical experience and knowledge gained with real life deployment of sensor networks for building monitoring for examples temperature, light intensity, CO and CO2 level - Novel techniques for actual sensor deployment, data gathering in building monitoring - Effects on activity monitoring, reliable communication, quality of service and security - Power efficient communication: miniaturization, system integration and energy scavenging Submission Details: Papers Deadline: 30th June 2009 Acceptance Notification: 31st July 2009 Final Manuscript Due: 31st August 2009 Publication Date: October 2009 Guest Editors: Dr. Malka N.

CALL FOR PAPERS PFLDNet 2009 The 7th International Workshop on Protocols for Future, Large-Scale and Diverse Network Transports (PFLDNeT) The University of Tokyo, Japan May 21-22, 2009 Web page: http://www.hpcc.jp/pfldnet2009 Scope The Internet continues to evolve along several dimensions, allowing more and more end systems to communicate in increasingly diverse ways. At one end of the performance spectrum, the Internet protocols provide communication facilities for extremely-high-speed special-use networks. At the other end of the performance spectrum, the Internet contains very low-power and low-bandwidth networks that cater to infrequent, bursty communication. Enabling efficient and high- performance end-to-end communication across such a diverse internetwork is a difficult problem, which is not solved by current transport layer protocols. The need to support an application base that grows more and more dissimilar adds additional challenges. The 7th International Workshop on Protocols for Future, Large-Scale & Diverse Network Transports (PFLDNeT)brings together researchers and practitioners from all continents to exchange their ideas and experiences in the area of transport layer issues for modern communication networks. The workshop provides theorists, experimentalists and technologists with a focused, highly interactive opportunity to present, discuss and exchange experience on leading research, development and future directions in transport and application protocols for networks that are increasingly growing in size, heterogeneity and dynamicity of interaction. PFLDNeT 2009 solicits papers that further the research on end-to-end communication protocols for todays and tomorrows Internet in all its diversity along the continuum from specialized grid networks, optical transports, wireless connections, to lossy and low-power networks. A specific focus of the workshop lies on transport protocols for the efficient end-to-end transfer of data for a diverse set of applications and application-layer protocols. Now approaching its seventh instantiation, the PFLDneT workshop has broadened its focus over the years from protocols targeted at specific fast, long-distance networks (the original expansion of the PFLDneT acronym) into a venue where all kinds of new ideas relating to end-to-end transport protocols for diverse network scenarios are being discussed first. The previous International Workshops on Protocols for Fast, Long- Distance Networks held at CERN (2003), Argonne (2004), Lyon (2005), Nara (2006), Marina del Rey (2007) and Manchester (2008) were very successful in bringing together many researchers from all over the world including North America, Europe and Asia who are working on these problems. PFLDNeT 2009 will continue this tradition, and provide a perfect forum for researchers in this area to exchange ideas and experience. Important Dates and Relevant Event Information Position Paper submission: February 27th Notification of Acceptance: March 30th Final camera ready submission: May 1st Conference: May 21st and 22nd IRTF ICCRG meeting: May 20th Workshop web site The latest information of the workshop is updated in http://www.hpcc.jp/pfldnet2009 Topics PFLDNeT 2009 covers all aspects related to transport protocols for the current and future Internet, including, but not limited to: - Protocol development - Enhancements of TCP - Innovative congestion control mechanisms - Novel data transport protocols designed for new networks and - applications - Explicit signaling protocols: optimization criteria and deployment - strategies - Pacing and shaping of traffic - Parallel transfers and multi-streaming - Performance evaluation - Modeling and simulation-based results - Interaction of transport protocols and network equipment - Experiments on real networks and live measurements - Protocol benchmarking - Transport over optical networks - Protocol implementation and hardware issues - End system performance - Data replication and striping - Applications with demanding or unusual network performance - requirements - Bulk-data transfer applications - Transport service for Grids - Quality-of-service and scalability issues - Multicast Workshop Organizers Program Committee Chairs: Lars Eggert, Nokia Research Center, FI Kei Hiraki, The University of Tokyo, JP Steering Committee: Lachlan Andrew, Swinburne University of Technology, AU Richard Hughes-Jones, Univ. of Manchester, UK Katsushi Kobayashi, AIST, JP Doug Leith, Hamilton Institute, IE Injong Rhee, North Carolina State University, US Pascale Vicat-Blanc, INRIA, FR Michael Welzl, Univ. of Innsbruck, AT Program Committee: Dirceu Cavendish ,KIT, JP Larry Dunn, Univ. of Minnesota, US Tomohiro Kudoh , AIST, JP Venkatram Vishwanath, EVL, USA Steven Low, Caltech, US Saverio Mascolo, Politecnico di Bari, IT Hideyuki Shimonishi, NEC, JP David X.

In the absence of manual annotation specifying the content of the media (in the form of captions or tags), most current content management software only allow simple browsing and navigation options; which severely limits the search and other advanced functionality. This is complicated by the available types of media such as images, video, music, speech, text, and graphics, and the relationship and interactions among them. In addition to personal collections located at home PCs and laptops, the wide spread popularity of media and social networking sites such as Flickr, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, Easyshare Gallery has enabled users to share and browse images and videos. However, due to the huge magnitude and variety of media content, it is increasing difficult for users and consumers to easily navigate, search, compose, and share their content and memories. When we consider the multimedia information available on public web sites, we will be confronting with a big scalability issue with many existing techniques and algorithms. Solutions that address the broad spectrum of personal and social multimedia applications are needed. The goal of this workshop is to provide a technical forum for researchers from academy and industry to discuss the advances and challenges of information processing, analysis, and retrieval for multimedia applications in personal and social domains. We propose to explore emerging areas of research such as cross-media and cross-domain information analysis and extraction, which will enhance current capability of information management applications and enrich the overall multimedia experience. Another area is to leverage rich metadata and contextual information associated with the media content. These include GPS, date/time, captions/tags, camera settings, face and other biometric information. The advances in user interface technologies incorporating speech and gesture recognition will also play an important role in enabling more user friendly and easy to use multimedia applications in the consumer domain.

The advent of digital technologies has made the creation and manipulation of multimedia content simpler. It offers higher quality and a lot more convenience to consumers. For example, it allows one to make perfect copies. Together with the growing volumes of digital data, increasingly the Internet is used for the distribution of the digital data. The ease with which digital goods can be copied and redistributed makes the Internet well suited for unauthorized copying, modification and redistribution. The rapid adoption of new technologies such as high-bandwidth connections, wireless networks, and peer-to-peer networks is accelerating this process. Multimedia security and content protection technologies and systems are intended to protect the intellectual property rights of content owners in scenarios in which the participants have conflicting goals and are not fully trusted. However, developing secure multimedia applications and solutions in a distributed environment with competing technologies and emerging standards is an enormous challenge. This workshop intends to provide a forum that researchers, developers and practitioners from multimedia security communities come together to share the vision of multimedia security and content protection in this rapidly growing digital world. That is from reporting latest technology advances, identifying new high impact problems that can shape the future of research, finding applications for the identified technologies, as well as legal and business issues related to multimedia security. The workshop seeks submissions in the general areas of multimedia security in its processing, transmission and consumption. We welcome submissions on emerging standards, interoperability and practical application issues.

Human health can be broadly identified by two components: physical health and mental health. While there is no "official" definition for mental health (considering cultural differences and subjective assessments), physical health is typically attributed to health of various body organs including muscles, bones, and joints. Human performance can be considered as "focused behavior" or "purposeful work" and hence performance is typically domain specific such as sports performance, or performance of a physically challenged person. Recent advances in various technologies for medical sensors, computing, and wireless communication have resulted in monitoring, tracking, and quantifying the physical health. Providing ubiquitous health care and performance monitoring have thus become feasible, affordable, and in many cases indispensable. The proposed workshop will be multi-disciplinary, focusing on innovations in information processing and system aspects of health care and performance. The topics of interest for this workshop include but are not limited to: * Information processing aspects of human health and performance - Data processing, storage and management - Detection, classification, and tracking - Distributed algorithms and reasoning - Programming models and languages * Body sensor networks: Systems and Technology - Novel communication techniques and protocols - In-vivo, on-body, near-body networks - Location, time, and other network services - Network health monitoring and management - Performance modeling * System design issues of Medical Digital Devices - Operating systems and runtime environments - Power - Reliability and fault-tolerance * Assistive Technologies for aged and disabled - Longitudinal studies showing impact on health care and performance * Security and privacy, including HIPAA for medical applications * HCI/Wearable Computing for Medical Applications - Social impacts - Usability - Brain Computer Interactions - Wearable system design issues - Entertainment * Medical Applications - Pervasive health care and patient monitoring within hospitals and other healthcare delivery settings in residential and other non healthcare delivery settings - Prosthetics and other novel medical applications We will have a special issue based on this workshop in a leading journal.

Moreover, mining semantics and other useful information from large-scale Internet multimedia data to facilitate online and local multimedia content analysis, search, and other related applications has also gained more and more attention from both academia and industry. On the one hand, the rapid increase of online multimedia data brings us new challenges to multimedia content analysis and multimedia retrieval especially in terms of scalability. Both computational costs and accuracy are still far from satisfactory. While on the other hand, Internet also provides us new opportunities to attack these challenges as well as conventional problems in media analysis and computer vision. That is, the massive associated metadata available on the Internet, as well as the massive grassroots Internet users, are valuable resources that can be leveraged to solve the aforementioned difficulties. Recently, more and more researchers are realizing both the challenges and the opportunities for multimedia research brought by the Internet. This workshop aims at bringing together high-quality and novel research works on Internet Multimedia, or more specifically, Internet-based multimedia search as well as Internet-based multimedia mining. Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to: 1. Internet video/image search ranking and reranking by combining textual description and video/image content. 2. General video/image search ranking and reranking by exploiting Internet data and/or users. 3. Internet video/image classification, annotation, and tagging. Approaches which can handle large-scale data are more preferred. 4. General video/image classification, annotation, and tagging by leveraging Internet data and/or users. 5. Internet video/image search result presentation and management, such as clustering, summarization, and browsing. 6. Video/image processing using Internet data as a knowledge base. 7. Tag recommendation, filtering, and ranking based on image/video social tagging. 8. CBIR for large-scale datasets (i.e., high-dimensional feature indexing). 9. Query suggestion for video/image search based on both text and image/video data. 10. Knowledge mining from Internet multimedia data, such as mining semantic distance of keywords or images, and mining video/image copy relationships (e.g., given a video/image, to find all videos/images on the Internet that have the same content with the video/image, either entirely or partially). Submissions for this workshop are required to use the same format as regular ICME papers. All submitted papers will go through a peer review process. Extended version of selected papers will be invited to submit to a special issue of a top journal in multimedia area (pending).

In particular, the increasing architectural complexity and application sophistication make it essential to have an inter-disciplinary research between algorithms and hardware designs. The workshop is to bridge the gap between algorithms and architecture designs for the development of future computer and multimedia systems. In particular, multi-core processors are now prevalent everywhere from desktops and graphics processors to laptops and embedded systems. Technology predictions indicate that this trend will continue and that there will be increasing numbers of cores (homogenous or heterogeneous) in future systems. It is clear that multimedia systems of tomorrow will be (and must be) implemented on platforms with multiple cores. While the challenges of designing multi-core systems in hardware are many, writing efficient parallel applications that utilize the computing capability of many processing cores may reveal to be even more challenging. Existing serial algorithms will need to be redesigned -- the best sequential algorithm is not necessarily the best parallel algorithm. Signal processing algorithm designers must understand the nuances of a multi-core computing engine. Only then can the tremendous computing power that such platforms provide be harnessed efficiently. We are organizing a poster session in the workshop. We would like to attract both tutorial-like and non-tutorial, research-oriented poster papers on (1) novel multimedia applications that can be enabled by platform with multiple cores, and (2) design examples of multimedia signal processing on platforms with multiple cores that demonstrate the techniques or algorithm changes for efficient implementations. *****Submission Procedure***** Prospective authors should submit 2-page white papers to the workshop chairs according to the following timetable. The white paper should summarize the key takeaway messages ("What can the attendee learn from the poster?"), the motivation ("Why should a attendee care the poster?"), the significance of the topic ("Why is this topic important?"), a brief history ("What are the related work and authors' prior publications in this topic?"), and the outline of the content ("What do you plan to explain the poster?"). The authors should properly answer all the questions above so that the white paper can be reviewed efficiently. After answering the above questions, the authors can selectively describe some details within the rest of page limit. The white paper should be no more than 2 pages in the IEEE single-space double-column format. Please note that a special issue on "Signal Processing on Platforms with Multiple Cores" that focuses on design and applications is planned for IEEE Signal Processing Magazine (http://apollo.ee.columbia.edu/spm/?i=cfp/Mar10). Prospective authors are encouraged to submit the tutorial-like whitepapers to both the workshop and the Magazine. *****Schedule***** 2-page summary due: Mach 1, 2009 Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2009 Camera-ready paper due: March 31, 2009 *****Workshop Chairs***** Li Deng, Microsoft, USA (deng(a)microsoft.com) Zhengyou Zhang, Microsoft, USA (zhang(a)microsoft.com) Yen-Kuang Chen, Intel Corporation, USA (yen-kuang.chen(a)intel.com) *****ICME and Workshop Keynote Speaker (Invitation Pending)***** Wen-mei W.
