[Tccc] CFP: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks
by Shu, Lei 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNet) http://www.inderscience.com/ijsnet Special Issue on: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks With recent technological advances in communication and computation, new Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications are growing. The emergence of low-energy and low-cost multimedia devices, such as microphones and cameras, has stimulated the development of the next generation WSN, known as Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN). WMSNs have brought unprecedented potentials especially for applications requiring ubiquitous access to the multimedia contents, such as still images, audio and video streams. The extra sensor capacity and various requirements of multimedia objects in-network processing also pose new and unique challenges. The challenges are crucial about how to energy-efficiently query, process, transfer, and store voluminous multimedia objects since most of the multimedia sensors are operated under limited battery powers. Additionally, relatively slow advancements in battery technologies make the energy constrain the fast progress in WMSNs. This special issue will bring together those leading researchers and developers in fields of data and resource management, distributed storage techniques and energy efficiency to study the particular problems and challenges of wireless multimedia sensor networks. The purpose of the special session is therefore to foster communications between various communities including distributed database management communities, multimedia communication communities and sensor networks communities, and establish a common ground for advanced research and development in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. The published papers are expected to present high quality results on state-of-the-art algorithms, novel techniques and real applications associated with Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Multimedia in-network processing in WMSN * Distributed source coding in WMSN * Multimedia aggregation and fusion in WMSN * Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN 2. WMSN architectures and applications * Scalable and flexible WMSN architecture * WMSN design for supporting heterogeneous applications * Multimedia sensor coverage * Novel WMSN applications * Experimental studies of WMSN * WMSN modelling and performance analysis 3. Emerging WMSN technologies * Hardware platform * Physical layer technologies * Energy harvesting technologies 4. Effective and energy-efficient protocols for WMSN * Real-time and reliable multimedia streaming * Routing and medium access control * Topology control and synchronization protocols * Energy efficient traffic management * QoS provisioning protocols 5.

Network measurement and monitoring provide the essential techniques, algorithms, and tools for any informed decision-making process in network management. On the other hand, today's networks are becoming increasingly more heterogeneous in terms of both network technologies and traffic, impacted by various factors including the wide deployment of wireless and sensor networks and the increasing popularity of peer-to-peer applications, network games, and VoIP. In addition, the network speed has been continuously increasing. Network attackers are also becoming more sophisticated in carrying out network attacks, recruiting zombie members, and hiding their true identities. All these developments pose profound challenges and present abounding opportunities in network measurement and monitoring research. In this special issue, we solicit original work in all areas of network measurement and monitoring. In particular, we seek original work on identifying new research and development challenges and developing new techniques and algorithms in measurement based network management. Specific topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Measurement based billing * Measurement based admission control * Measurement techniques * Large scale network data measurement and characterization studies * Measurement data management * Network measurement of new test-bed * Tools for network performance evaluation * Measurement based network reliability, dependability, and security techniques * Autonomous management platform * Management issues for next generation network Submission Guidelines: Authors are invited to submit high quality and original work that is not under review in any conference or journal.

HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2010 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas.To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Important Dates Paper submission due: October 12, 2009 Acceptance notification: To be announced Revised papers due: To be announced Paper submissions are due by 23:59 PDST on Monday October 12, 2009. Paper Submission Instructions Paper submissions are due on Oct 12th 2009 at 23:59:59 PDST (Pacific Daylight Savings Time). Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and distributed at the workshop on a USB memory stick. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS LOCAN 2009 The 5th International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/locan2009 In conjunction with MSN, 14-16, Dec. 2009 Wu Yi Mountain, China Subject and Purpose of the Workshop ----------------------------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The workshop scope includes network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques Topics of Interest ------------------ We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control for ad hoc networks * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting in ad hoc networks * Geocasting and anycasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management in ad hoc networks * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions Submissions ----------- Papers must not exceed 8 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be included in the MSN main proceedings and will be published by the IEEE Press and EI-indexed. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format) through EasyChair "http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=locan09". For submission-related questions, please contact program co-chairs.
