In this context, many national and international collaboration projects currently ongoing practically demonstrate the relevant government, industry, and academia interest in the field. In particular, Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) are becoming increasingly interesting and popular due to recent advances in inter-vehicular communication technologies and decreasing cost of communication devices. Differently from traditional wireless sensor nodes, vehicles are not typically affected by energy constraints and can easily be equipped with powerful processing units, wireless communication devices, GPS, and sensing devices such as chemical detectors, still/video cameras, vibration and acoustic sensors. Thus, they enable brand new and promising sensing applications, such as traffic reporting, relief to environmental monitoring, distributed surveillance, only to mention a few promising (and not the most visionary) service provisioning scenarios. The design, implementation, and deployment of dynamic, opportunistic, collaborative, scalable, efficient, reliable, robust, and secured mobile sensing applications for VSNs, especially over realistic and large-scale deployment environments such as municipalities, presents extraordinary challenges to the pervasive and mobile computing research community. This special issue intends to disseminate the latest research results in this emergent research area, by providing a fresh snapshot of the current state-of-the-art in VANETs, VSNs, and mobile sensing. To this purpose, we are seeking high-quality papers reporting original research results and practical experiences of system design/prototyping/deployment related to topics that include, but are not limited to: - Original algorithms and protocols for VSN mobile sensing - Original middleware and platforms for the support of VSN applications - Case studies of mobile sensing applications over wide-scale urban environments - Vehicular network architectures and protocols for mobile sensing - Intra-vehicular sensor network and integration with (possibly legacy) embedded systems - Efficient integration with wide-area networks and with municipal mesh networks - Routing, addressing, and transport-layer issues for mobile sensing - Efficient QoS support for quality-sensitive mobile sensing applications - Delay-tolerant and real-time supports for VSN mobile sensing - Data dissemination solutions for VSN mobile sensing applications - Performance, scalability, reliability, and efficiency of VSN supports and applications - Safety, enhanced navigation, and car alert supports/services - Vehicular collision avoidance using distributed sensing technologies - Human-machine interface for VSN mobile sensing applications - Mobility models and vehicle traffic models - Simulation aspects of V2V, V2I, and VSNs - Emulation and testbeds for large-scale VSNs - Practical experience with standards (802.11p, CALM, P1609, ), standard development and evolution - Security, encryption, and privacy for VSNs _Submission process: _Authors should prepare and submit manuscripts according to the Guide for Authors as published in the Journal Web site at http://www.ees.elsevier.com/pmc/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special Issue on Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Datum: Fri, 4 Jun 2010 12:11:39 +0200 Von: Laura Galluccio <lgalluccio(a)diit.unict.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers A Special Issue on Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks For well over a decade, the international community has invested significant effort conducting research on ad hoc and sensor networks. These networks show promise to support the development of always-on services in next generation mobile systems. Initially, it was natural to inherit the traditional layered network architecture in designing systems and services. More recently, the need to support high performance applications while coping with the limited node capabilities highlights the necessity of cross-layer design in these networks. Cross-layer design offers new opportunities to exploit the potential offered by joint optimization of design parameters, satisfy QoS requirements, among others, that cannot be addressed by traditional architecture in a satisfactory manner. However, at the current time, we lack a clear understanding of the interactions among the layers, and a comprehensive framework for cross-layer design in the network stack. Scope of Contributions The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address the key aspects of cross layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks. Original manuscripts describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Architecture issues for cross-layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks -Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design -Performance optimization for cross-layer design of ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design issues for QoS provisioning in ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer strategies in wireless sensor and actuator networks -Application layer adaptation based on cross-layer notifications -Interactions between routing/mobility management and congestion control -Cross-layer optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity -Cross-layer error and delay control -Channel access algorithms for cross-layered ad hoc communication networks -Cross-layer design of MIMO systems -Multi-user detection in cross-layer design -Design, implementation and test-bed/experimental results -Software defined radio for ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design for P2P streaming -Cross-layer design for multimedia systems -Cross layer issues in vehicular networking Important dates Paper submission: August 15th , 2010 First round notification: December 15th, 2010 First round revision: January 15th , 2011 Second round notification: Febuary 28th, 2011 Final papers: March 15th, 2010 Guest Editors Laura Galluccio University of Catania lgalluccio(a)diit.unict.it Klara Nahrstedt University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign klara(a)cs.uiuc.edu Violet R.

At the same time, several new networking and radio technologies (e.g., dynamic spectrum access, UWB) are emerging to address the performance limitations of existing technologies and make wireless networking more ubiquitous. Realistic evaluation of such diverse set of technologies and their mutual interactions will play a major role in identifying the key performance bottlenecks, thus shaping future advances in wireless technology. The importance of testbed-based evaluation of wireless network protocols/applications as well as characterization of real world aspects using traces from operational networks is gaining wider recognition in the mobile and wireless networking research community. This workshop intends to bring together researchers working in the broad area of experimental wireless networking. This workshop will serve as a forum to share new ideas/experiences in all experimental aspects of wireless networks and systems, and facilitate discussions of key unresolved challenges in this area. We are seeking original, previously unpublished papers addressing experimental wireless networking issues. All submissions will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to the workshop, based on a thorough review process by the Technical Program Committee. Apart from regular paper presentations, the workshop program will include an interactive session with demos and posters.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP SCENES - Workshop on Scenarios for Network Evaluation Studies Datum: Wed, 02 Jun 2010 23:08:24 +0200 Von: Nils Aschenbruck <aschenbruck(a)cs.uni-bonn.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ================================================================= Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers ================================================================= The Second Workshop on Scenarios for Network Evaluation Studies (SCENES 2010) http://scenes.cs.bonn.edu San Francisco, CA, USA Nov. 8th, 2010 to be held in conjunction with MASS 2010 https://mass2010.soe.ucsc.edu CALL FOR PAPERS For the reliable performance evaluation of wireless networks, realistic models and credible simulation scenarios are crucial. Recently, in the area of wireless networks, it has been shown that simplistic models for mobility, traffic, and signal propagation yield results that are too optimistic. In order to provide more credible models, traces from specific scenarios need to be acquired and then realistic scenario models need to be developed and validated. We solicit papers on mobility, traffic, propagation, and scenario modelling for various wireless networks including MANETs, DTNs and vehicular networks. Papers on trace measurement architectures and trace characterizations of wireless networks are also welcome. The main purpose of this workshop is to promote further research interests and activities on scenario modelling of wireless networks. It is also aimed at increasing the synergy between academic and industrial researchers working in this area. We are interested in experimental, systems-related, theoretical, and work-in-progress papers in all aspects of wireless network scenarios. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Classification of scenarios * Challenges in trace acquisition * Tools for mobility, traffic and propagation modelling * Methods in localization and tracking to acquire accurate movement traces * Movement trace measurement architectures * Characterization of movement traces * Mobility modelling * Validation of mobility models * Traffic measurement, traffic characterization, traffic modelling * Combined mobility and traffic modelling * Characterization of signal propagation * Propagation modelling * Impact of mobility on radio characterization * Impact of scenario modelling on performance Authors are invited to submit full papers and work-in-progress papers for presentation at the workshop. Papers (no more than 6 camera-ready pages in IEEE conference proceedings format) should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. All submissions will be handled via EDAS: http://edas.info/N9078 For detailed submission instructions, together with format files, see the MASS 2010 website: https://mass2010.soe.ucsc.edu/ IMPORTANT DATES: Paper submission deadline: June 18, 2010 Notification of acceptance: Aug. 13, 2010 Camera-ready paper due: Sep. 3, 2010 KEYNOTE: will given by David Kotz, Dartmouth College, USA COMMITTEE: Program Chairs: Nils Aschenbruck, University of Bonn, Germany Tracy Camp, Colorado School of Mines, USA Technical Program Committee: Kevin Almeroth, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Marco Conti, Istituto di Informatica e Telematica, Pisa, Italy Mesut Günes, FU-Berlin, Germany Marco Gruteser, Ruttgers University, USA Ahmed Helmy, University of Florida, USA Tristan Henderson, University of St Andrews, Scotland David B.
