Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines.

I hope the late announcement of this extension has not caused inconvenience. Cheers, Lachlan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- 1st IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Communications and Control for Sustainable Energy Systems: Green Networking and Smart Grids http://csl.illinois.edu/smart-grid Call for papers: As concerns about climate change, rising fossil fuel prices and energy security increase, companies and governments around the world are committing great efforts toward developing new technologies for green strategies lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and reducing total energy consumption. For these efforts to be sustainable, the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector must overcome a number of challenges, such as: reducing the life-cycle resource consumption of the exploding market in mobile devices; using as little electricity from non-renewable sources as possible; improving efficiency of the individual devices; and managing complex interconnected systems, communication products and services. Conversely, the ICT can improve the sustainability of activities in the physical world and lower GHG emissions in other industries, notably electric power generation and distribution. Advanced communications and networking technologies are expected to play a vital role in future power systems and smart grid infrastructures. They will provide a two-way information flow to enable more efficient monitoring, control, and optimization of different grid functionalities, including two-way energy flow between smart power devices. The Workshop on Communications and Control for Sustainable Energy Systems: Green Networking and Smart Grids is intended to provide a forum for discussion on all these most recent developments and bring together industry and academia, engineers and researchers. The workshop is in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2012 conference (http://www.ieee-infocom.org/) and it is organized in two tracks: one focused on Designing Sustainable ICT, and the other one devoted to Smart Grid Systems. While the two tracks have different foci and have separate program committees (but a common steering committee), the workshop will provide a unique occasion for two communities with complementary interests and common goals to meet and share ideas and visions.
