For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testbeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission Guideline and Policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings.

22 Feb '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2010) Datum: Sat, 20 Feb 2010 06:52:05 -0800 Von: Habib M. Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)hofstra.edu> An: itc(a)comsoc.org <itc(a)comsoc.org> The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2010) http://people.hofstra.edu/Habib_M_Ammari/WiMAN_Workshop2010.html In conjunction with ICCCN 2010 Zurich, Switzerland, August 2-5, 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop Objectives Recently, wireless mesh and ad hoc networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade of research efforts in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introduction of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Its main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Also, this workshop aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered in this workshop will include, but will not be limited to, the following: • Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking • Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN • Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking • MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) • Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols • Implications of smart antennas on MAC and routing protocols • Quality of Services provisioning • Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks • Network deployment, localization, and synchronization • Topology construction and maintenance • Methods and tools for mesh and ad hoc networks simulation • Modeling and performance evaluations • Physical layer techniques • Cross layer optimizations • Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms • Self-organization, self-configuration network architectures • Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks • Security-related issues in mesh and ad hoc networks • Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks • Wireless sensor networks and RFID • Test beds, prototypes, and practical systems Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Datum: Sun, 21 Feb 2010 19:58:23 +0000 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Only one week left ================== Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network. The topics of interest include, but limited to, the following: Group 1: Network-aware Mobile Social Networks *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile social networks caused by mobile wireless networks *) Network-aware modelling, design and development of mobile social networks *) Network-aware social search, data collection, processing, ranking and recommendation *) Network-aware middleware, framework for mobile social networks *) Network-aware real-world applications, services, systems of mobile social networks *) Experimental results or trials of network-aware mobile social networks *) New aspects of security, privacy and trust in mobile wireless networks Group 2: Wireless Networks that are aware of social network knowledge *) Implications, opportunities and challenges of mobile wireless networks caused by social networks *) Social-aware modelling of mobile wireless networks, planning, protocol design and deployment *) Community based mobility model, handoff management *) Applying social network theories into wireless network problem solving *) Optimal and scalable distribution of dynamic content (such as news or traffic information) over mobile social networks *) New social-aware/inspired wireless content distribution networks *) Network security protocols/algorithms design using social data Notes for Authors ------------------- The Journal is SCI-indexed.

Online social networks are among the most popular sites on the Web and continue to grow rapidly. They provide mechanisms to establish identities, share information, and create relationships. The resulting social graph provides a basis for communicating and distributing and locating content. Broadly, the systems issues of social networks include: - How can systems infrastructure be improved for social networks? Infrastructure includes database systems, operating systems, file systems, and storage systems. - How can the social graph be leveraged in computer system design? The social graph encodes trust and common interests. How and to what extent can this encoding be used to improve computer systems? - How can social networks be modeled and characterized? What has been learned from the operation of existing systems? TOPICS OF INTEREST - Security and privacy. - Leveraging the social graph in systems design. - Real-time monitoring and query processing. - Database issues for offline analysis. - Experiences with deployed systems. - Crawlers and other mechanisms for observing social network structure. - Measurement and analysis, including comparative analysis. - Tools for designing and deploying social networks. - Network dynamics, relationships between network links and user behavior. - Benchmarks, modeling, and characterization. - Decentralization: methods for integrating multiple networks. - Application programming interfaces (APIs) for social networks. The papers presented, as well as a summary of the discussion, will be archived electronically. Accepted papers may be subsequently revised, expanded, and submitted to full conferences and journals. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Deadline March 1, 2010 Acceptance Notification March 11, 2010 Workshop April 13, 2010 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Submissions are made via http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sns10.
