The capabilities of actor nodes include enhanced processing ability, powerful wireless transmission, large battery and mobility. Actor nodes can leverage their capabilities to facilitate better coverage, connectivity and energy efficient operation. Such capabilities offer unprecedented opportunities to serve a diverse range of applications. For instance, actors with mobility can be used to mend a partitioned network, set up new routes, facilitate energy efficient data collection and improve sensor coverage. Similarly, the some sensor nodes may also be equipped with actuation capability called actuators that perform actions to change the behaviour of environment or the physical system. Embedding actuation in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) opens a realm of opportunities for Wireless Sensor Actuator Network (WSAN) industrial applications requiring monitoring and control. While significant research progress have been made in networking and communication aspects of WSNs, new design paradigms are required for wireless sensor actor and actuator networks (WiSAANs). In particular new ideas are required to address the challenges resulting from introducing actors and actuators in the network. This workshop aims to bring the state-of-art research contributions in theory, design and implementation of communication protocols for WiSAANs. Another key objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to present their work and share their views. We expect the workshop to act as a leading forum for the WSN research community to discuss their ideas on addressing the most current challenges, potential solutions and future developments of WiSAANs. We encourage contributions describing original work in the realm of data collection, architecture, algorithms, communication protocols and implementations of WSANs. Topics of interest include but not limited to: - Architectural models for WiSAANs - Algorithms and communication protocols for WiSAANs - Service model for WiSAANs - Sensor-actor and sensor-actuator co-ordination - QoS models for WiSAANs - Energy efficient protocols for WiSAANs - Integration of real-time protocols with WiSAAN - Time modeling and synchronization in WiSAANs - WiSAAN current and future applications and implementations - Data processing and management in WiSAANs - Medium access protocols for WiSAANs - Routing Protocols for WiSAANs - Data gathering and data fusion models for improving real-time performance in WiSAANs ----------------- Important Dates ----------------- Submission deadline: 20 December 2011 (Extended Deadline) Authors Notification: 10 February 2012 Final Manuscript: 31 March 2012 Workshop Date: June 10 -15 2012 --------------- General Chairs --------------- Prof. Ivan Stojmenović, SITE, University of Ottawa, Canada Prof. Zabih Ghassemlooy, CEIS, Northumbria University, UK -------------------- Workshop Organizers -------------------- Dr. Ramiro Liscano, UoIT, Canada, Dr. Nauman Aslam, Northumbria University, UK _____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline extended: IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’12) Datum: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:27:38 +0000 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Deadline extended to: 20 December 2011 IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Consumer Health Care Networks, Systems and Services (MobiCHeSS’12) 10th – 15th of June 2012, Ottawa, Canada Satellite Workshop of the IEEE International Conference on Communications (IEEE ICC 2012) Goals and Topics Healthcare providers from around the globe are currently faced with significant challenges due to an exponential rise in costs, increased demand for services, and limited access to financial and human resources. This is directly linked to the fact that people are living longer with an expected 761 million of us being over the age of 65 by 2025. This will increase the risk of chronic disease and other co-morbidities amongst the elderly and estimates suggest that treating this particular group of people currently accounts for 78% of all healthcare expenditure (over a trillion US dollars per year) with spending expected to be $4.3 trillion in 2018 compared to $27.5 billion in 1960. Whilst increasing life expectancy is at an all-time high, it has become difficult to sustain. One suggestion is that quality of life and life expectancy can be increased through healthy aging and lifestyle choices. Positive behavioural changes will empower people and support the prevention of acute episodes, including the provision of provide better services that are tailored to people’s healthcare needs. This presents a unique opportunity were the use of information and communications technology could be used to support the delivery and management of healthcare services. Building on advances in Smartphone technologies and wireless communications it is possible to bridge the gap between people and medical facilities and transform healthcare services and clinical intervention within the community. These technologies, as well as allowing us to make a phone call, text a friend, or update our social networking site, provide access to vital data about a person that can be collected and analysed to support research, medical and healthcare education, and clinical practice with less reliance on secondary care (hospital admissions). Empowering people in the community, particularly the aging population, allows them to evaluate lifestyle choices and to take control of their own healthcare needs. Diseases, such as diabetes and obesity are often caused by an accumulation of unmonitored health-related choices, such as poor nutrition and lack of exercise, which occur over decades rather than weeks or months. Smartphones, body sensors, and wireless communications provide the necessary tools to host community healthcare services and applications capable of real-time monitoring and analysis of lifestyle choices. Using digital diaries, social networking, SMS, amongst other technologies, makes it possible to manage adherence and provide education about relevant medical conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, sexual health, poor nutrition and the lack of exercise. All this will have the ability to empower people and encourage personal consumer healthcare beyond what is currently possible. Nonetheless, due to the criticality of healthcare and the complex coordination and delivery of healthcare services it is not surprising that we have not seen widespread adoption of mobile ICT in health. The healthcare domain is sensitive to change and this will require new processes, methodologies and tools, and this comes at a time when sustainable health is becoming increasingly more difficult. From a technical perspective, a number of challenges still remain and form part of the topics under this call for papers. The workshop seeks workshop proposal submissions (consisting of a paper) on all theoretical and practical aspects of mobile consumer healthcare networks, services and applications, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems on topics including, but not limited to, those shown below: • Mobile applications for elderly healthcare • Mobile applications for adherence monitoring in aggressive treatment regimens • Mobile devices for healthcare • Scalability, performance and reliability of mobile healthcare apps • Mobile interfaces for data Visualization • Mobile devices for patient monitoring • Ad hoc and wireless sensor systems and networks • Mobile data management and processing • Mobile and wireless technologies for healthcare applications • Radio-Frequency (RFID) wireless technology in medical devices • Wireless Identification and Services Platform (WISP) for mobile healthcare • Medical Device Control via Wireless Technology • Safe, Effective, Secure and Reliable Use of Wireless Technology in healthcare • Wearable and implantable sensors • Sensor Networks for ubiquitous and pervasive healthcare • Health specific wireless communication protocols in healthcare (WMTS, IMS, MICS) • Wireless Body Area Networks • Consumer Healthcare (cHealth) • Stream reasoning algorithms for behaviour and activity monitoring Guidelines for Submission Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. The paper should be used as the basis for a 20 - 30 minute workshop presentation. Papers should be submitted in a .pdf or .ps format by selecting ICC'12 on the EDAS paper submission website and then selecting the workshop submission link.

These advancements create the need of the development of a supportive infrastructure and network architecture that will enable the realization of the Internet of Things (IoT) which will be able to host real-time applications in a resource and energy efficient reliable way. The IoT realizes its potential in the context of a global communications platform that can be used by millions of independent devices co-operating together in large or small combinations, and in shared or separated federations. It involves connected embedded-devices such as sensors, home appliances, weather stations and even movable objects (such as toys, wearable devices-objects etc) to Internet Protocol (IP)-based networks. This Special Issue addresses the trend in both science and industry for smart embedded devices (smart objects) to become IP-enabled, as well as the latest frontier of the Internet, consisting of wireless low-power embedded devices-called the Wireless Embedded Internet. It also targets the development and implementation of new fundamental architectures for the efficient support of IoT technologies, where many resource limitations can be faced and various network mechanisms will be optimized by providing new middleware architectures that will face application-specific issues. Additionally the Special Issue aims to present novel middleware architectures and techniques for optimizing the power consumption, connectivity and reliability aspects, as well as aims to propose new models for capacity and data flow management for providing sufficient end-to-end resource management. Performance evaluation can be performed using simulation in order to evaluate the performance under different efficiency angles. With modeling and simulation the dynamically changing IoT environments, can be further analyzed and explored by utilizing computational and mathematical techniques, while creating a model construct of a conceptual framework that describes an IoT system.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO DECEMBER 15, 2011: CFP - Elsevier Computer Communications Journal - Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Datum: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 21:11:39 +0200 Von: Charalampos Konstantopoulos <konstant(a)unipi.gr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> THE NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE: DECEMBER 15, 2011. Call for Papers Elsevier Computer Communications Journal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom) Special Issue on Reactive Sensor Networks Scope A common assumption in Wireless Sensor Networks is that they comprise resource-constrained static nodes which sense their environment and then send their measurements to a central base station through mutihop routing. Soon, it was realized that this network organization leads to rapid energy exhaustion of sensors around the base station since these nodes should relay all the traffic destined for the base station. In addition, the passive nature of static sensors which can only sense and are unable to move is not always helpful in target-tracking scenarios or in cases where real-time action is necessary for handling emergency situations. Apparently, a reactive (dynamic) behavior from these networks would be effective for dealing with a number of changing operational conditions (e.g. node failures, energy exhaustion in some nodes) or with real-time events. This Special Issue will focus on all forms of reactive behavior that can be incorporated in the functionality of a Wireless Sensor Network and will also identify new possibilities, opportunities and challenges deriving from this new paradigm. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: -Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks -Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks -Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile sensors -Re-tasking in Wireless Sensor Networks -Mobile agent based solutions in Wireless Sensor Networks -Node redeployment techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks for improved connectivity and/or coverage -Re-clustering techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks -Dynamic MAC and routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks for increased network lifetime -Reactive methods in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks -Reactive methods for target tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks -Dynamic techniques for data aggregation/fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks - Security, trust and privacy in Reactive Sensor Networks Tentative Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: December 15, 2011 First Notification: March 10, 2012 Submission of revised paper: April 20, 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2012 Guest Editors Dr. Charalampos Konstantopoulos Department of Informatics University of Piraeus, Greece (konstant(a)unipi.gr) Prof. Paolo Bellavista Dipartimento di Informatica, Elettronica e Sistemistica Universita di Bologna, Italy (paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it) Prof. Damla Turgut Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Central Florida, USA (turgut(a)cs.ucf.edu) Prof. Chi-Fu Huang Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan (cfhuang(a)cs.ccu.edu.tw) Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom.To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Reactive WSN" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
