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: 30 November, 2011 Authors Notification: 30 January 2011 Final Manuscript: 15 February 2012 Workshop Date: TBA later between 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.

Carsten Griwodz <griff(a)SIMULA.NO> schrieb: Call for Papers: Springer Multimedia Systems Journal (MMSJ) Special Issue on Network and Systems Support for Games URL: http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~shervin/netgamessi/ Computer games, now a very profitable economic sector and subject to both academic and industry research, continue to grow in popularity at a substantial rate. Multiplayer networked games, which enable hundreds of thousands of players to simultaneously interact with each other, are now widely used not just for entertainments, but also for socializing, business, commerce, scientific experimentation, and many other practical purposes. The NPD Group reports that 59% of total US population (ages 2 years old and higher) play games, with 56% of them doing so online, leading to almost one third of the population playing online games, while DFC Intelligence forecasts the total number of gamers in the twenty leading online game countries to increase 51% by 2011 compared to 2006. The statistics for mobile gaming are equally impressive: it is estimated that 78.6 million people in the U.S. alone played mobile games in 2009, and downloads of mobile games increased tenfold compared to 2003. Literally millions of people spend their time and money in game worlds such as World of Warcraft, which now hosts more than 12 million subscribers with a peak of 500,000 players online at a given time, or Entropia Universe, which holds the number 1 and number 2 record for the most expensive “virtual” real estate sold for real money, each over US$300,000 per virtual property. As these online games become more popular and significant contributors to Internet traffic, research needs to be devoted to manage and support the emerging massiveness, its traffic on the network, and the users’ quality of experience. In this special issue, we focus on multiplayer games and cover scientific, engineering, and research topics in systems and networking support to enable such games. Submissions are solicited on all aspects of networked games, including (but not limited to): - Scalability, cloud support, client-server, and P2P system architectures - Efficient message distribution and network protocol design - Latency issues and lag compensation techniques - Network traffic modeling, measurement, and impact on network infrastructure - System benchmarking, performance evaluation, and provisioning - Operating system enhancements, service platforms, and middleware - Massively Multiplayer Online Gaming (MMOG) - Multiplayer usability and user behavior studies - Personal communications and conferencing in games - Mobile games, resource-constrained systems, and context-based adaptation - Networks of sensors, actuators, and haptics for games - Quality of service, quality of experience, and content adaptation - Dynamic and user-generated content authoring and management - Content creation: non-linear storytelling, object capturing, algorithmic creation - Security, authentication, accounting, and digital rights management - Cheat detection and prevention - Social networking in multiplayer games ---- Submission Instructions ---- Authors must follow the formatting and submission instructions of MMSJ at http://www.springer.com/computer/information+systems+and+applications/journ… and follow the "Submit Online" link on that page. Please make sure you mention in your cover letter that you are submitting to this special issue. If the submission is an extended version of a previously published workshop or conference paper, this should also be explicitly mentioned in the cover letter, the published paper must be cited in the submitted journal paper, and the submitted journal paper must technically extend the conference version, by 30% according to MMSJ rules; i.e., the technical contribution in the journal version must be extended beyond what was presented in the conference version. ---- Important Dates ---- Submission deadline: November 15, 2011 First round notification: January 15, 2012 ---- Guest editors ---- Shervin Shirmohammadi, University of Ottawa, Canada Carsten Griwodz, Simula Research Laboratory, Norway Grenville Armitage, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia ############################ To unsubscribe from the MM-INTEREST list: write to: mailto:MM-INTEREST-SIGNOFF-REQUEST@LISTSERV.ACM.ORG or click the following link: http://listserv.acm.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ACMLPX.EXE?SUBED1=MM-INTEREST&A=1
