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 Guidelines 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. At least one author of accepted papers is required to register and attend the workshop to present the paper.

The wide-spread industrial uptake of these sy- stems is however compromised by the abrupt changes and challenging dependability requirements imposed by the highly error-prone and heterogeneous mobile provisioning environment. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and envi- ronments, a variety of research studies have produced supporting methods, proof-of-concept prototypes, and disciplines. However, it is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the chal- lenging adaptability and dependability requirements of the emer- ging mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile social networks, smart urban mobility, wireless control of robots, and healthcare. The ambition and mission of ADAMUS is to put on the foreground all above issues and to foster the exchange of ideas and lively discussion in order: to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop mobile ubiquitous systems; to devise conceptual models and paradigms for change tolerance; to provide analytical and simula- tion tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable, maintainable, cost-effective middleware infrastructures able to support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous services. Building on the success of the last three editions, ADAMUS 2010 aims at serving as a meeting ground and common platform of discus- sion for research and industrial bodies in the field of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose ori- ginal and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable appli- cations over mobile environments. The main topics of the Workshop include, but are not limited to the following: - Dependability & adaptation requirements, and open issues for mobile ubiquitous systems; - Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependa- ble and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems; - Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based in- frastructures; - Context-aware service adaptation for mobile clients; - Frameworks and techniques enabling advanced/demanding applica- tions on mobile ubiquitous systems; - Human-machine interaction and usability; - Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems; - Cross-layer adaptation techniques; - End-to-end approaches to the quality of experience of mobile services; - Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability; - Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and mechanisms for heterogeneous wireless networks; - Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiquitous systems; - Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adaptation to networks conditions; - Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services; - Experience on real-world applications or prototypes of mobile ubiquitous systems. PAPER SUBMISSION __________________________________________________________________ ADAMUS 2010 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in ACM double-column proceedings style. Authors should sub- mit a PostScript or PDF file via e-mail to workshop organizers (macinque(a)unina.it and tim.stevens(a)intec.ugent.be). Acceptance implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper. The selection process will involve peer reviews and reviews by program committee members. All papers will be selected for the workshop based upon their originality, techni- cal soundness, and relevance to the field of adaptive and dependa- ble mobile ubiquitous systems. All Accepted papers will appear in the ICPS'10 proceedings publi- shed on CD by the ACM and in the ACM Portal. Contacts are in progress with the International Journal of Adapti- ve, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) to invite ADAMUS 2010 Best Papers authors to submit an extended version of their papers for possible publication in a special issue of IJARAS.

Cyber-physical systems are tight integrations of computation, networking, and physical objects, in which embedded devices are networked to sense, monitor and control the physical world. It is believed that CPS will transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another. In particular, there is a trend to build CPS upon wireless and mobile networks as a consequence of unprecedented proliferation of these technologies in recent years. In addition to wireless sensors and actuators, the number of mobile devices that can support wirelessly networked cyber-physical applications has exploded. Some usual examples include smartphones, PDAs, autonomous robots, wearable computers, among others. Ubiquitous applications and services enabled by mobile CPS are opening up great opportunities for improving the quality of our daily life. To fully explore the potential of mobile CPS, however, significant challenges are yet to be overcome. MobiCPS 2010 is an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present innovative ideas and results on all aspects of mobile cyber-physical systems, including theoretical foundations, techniques and methods, tools and platforms, prototypes, and practical applications. Besides research papers, the workshop will feature Invited Talks and a Panel Discussion session. The workshop will be held in Xi'an, China in October 2010, in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC2010) (http://www.nwpu.edu.cn/uic2010/). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of CPS - Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical interaction - Sensing and actuation policies - Distributed computing and control - Architectures, design methodologies and tools for mobile CPS - Mobile devices and embedded software platforms for cyber-physical computing - Mobile cyber-physical applications and services - Energy-efficient (green) computing and communications - Wireless networking and communications - Wireless sensor networks - Mobile and participatory sensing - Location-based services - Internet of things - Information consensus - Trust, security, and privacy - Validation, testing, and certification - Prototypes, testbeds, practical experiences, and case studies - Emerging applications in healthcare, transportation, automation, environment, etc. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper submissions due: 30 May 2010 Notification of acceptance: 15 July 2010 Camera ready version due: 30 July 2010 Workshop date: TBA SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers that must not have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Last CFPs, JCTA SI on "Wireless Sensor Networks: from Theory to Practice" Datum: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 02:41:15 +0800 Von: Xiao Wendong <wxiao(a)i2r.a-star.edu.sg> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Journal of Control Theory and Applications (Springer) (http://www.jcta.ac.cn/cta_en/ch/common_item.aspx?parent_id=7&menu_id=200912… <http://www.jcta.ac.cn/cta_en/ch/common_item.aspx?parent_id=7&menu_id=200912…> ) Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks: from Theory to Practice Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is characterized by the dense deployment of sensor nodes that continuously observe physical phenomenon. The main advantages of WSN include its low cost, rapid deployment, self-organization, and fault tolerance. WSN has received tremendous interests of various research communities, and significant progresses have been made in various aspects including sensor platform development, wireless communication and networking, application signal and information processing, as well as network performance evaluation and design. Such work has established good foundation for WSN research and development. The research and development of WSNs are stimulated by novel exciting applications. For example, WSNs, particularly the wireless body sensor network, make the old people/patient healthcare monitoring possible in smart home environment, where advanced signal processing algorithms are required to extract medical parameters like heart beat rate from raw sensor measurements such as ECG signal, estimation algorithms are required for occupant location and motion tracking, and machine learning algorithms are required for occupant activity recognition. The indoor environment (e.g., temperature and humidity) can be monitored by ambient wireless sensor network, and help design highly efficient distributed air-conditioning control system to improve the energy efficiency and enhance occupant comfort. Such WSN applications must address a number of key technological challenges induced by limited network resources such as node energy and network bandwidth. As a result, the application algorithms should be resource constrained and the network protocols should be application-driven. Advanced closed-loop system can be expected as an integrated system solution to link the application algorithms and the lower layer networking protocols by means of control theoretic or optimization approaches. To be scalable and reliable, such algorithms and protocols should also be distributed in nature via node local processing and collaboration with limited information exchange to achieve complex overall network goal. This special issue is a follow-up of the previous special issue on Networked Sensing, Decision Making and Control in Journal of Control Theory and Applications organized by Lihua Xie and Frank L. Lewis, which received warm responses. Different from that special issue, which mainly addresses the theoretic approaches for WSNs and networked control systems challenged by network uncertainties and limited resources, this special issue will be more focused on novel real WSN applications and application-driven research and development. Papers with real practices on platform development, network deployment, and system operational lessons or experience are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · WSN theoretic approaches: - Distributed and collaborative signal processing - Target detection, classification, and tracking - Network modeling and optimization - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Coverage and topology control - Adaptive and mobile sampling - Consensus estimation and cooperation · WSN applications: - Healthcare monitoring - Environment monitoring - Surveillance system - Networked manufacturing system - Structural health monitoring; - Cognitive sensing and spectrum management - Military and battlefield applications All the submissions will be subject to peer review in accordance with the standard review procedures of the Journal of Control Theory and Applications.
