Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSN), 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, WSAN 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 Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSAN, WSN, robot networks, and robotics and automation.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)- actor coordination and actor task assignment · Biologically inspired communication · Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols · Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols · Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) · Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing · Distributed control and management in WSAN · Neighborhood discovery and mobility management · Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots · Localization and time synchronization and in WSAN · Quality of Service, security and robustness issues · Architectures and topology control · Probabilistic integration in WSAN · Hybrid networks and wireless Internet · Ecological systems · Applications and prototypes Accepted papers with a FULL registration to the main conference will be included in the conference proceedings.

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Recent Advances in Vehicular Networks SI Datum: Thu, 19 May 2011 09:16:56 -0400 Von: Vojislav Misic <vmisic(a)ryerson.ca> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Recent Advances in Vehicular Networks special issue of EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Call for Papers One of the most researched directions in modern automotive industry is the design, development, and deployment of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) that aim to improve road safety (including collision avoidance, traffic congestion information, and detection of, as well as alerting to, road conditions) whilst providing ample opportunities for commercial applications such as communication and mobile infotainment. Successful and widespread usage of VANETs necessitates the development of novel technologies that satisfy the requirements for high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving communications, both between vehicles and roadside units and amongst vehicles themselves, and thus presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. This is the main reason why VANETs are a very active area of research, development, standardization, and field trials throughout the world, in academia, industry, and government alike. These efforts include, but are not limited to, the e-Safety framework of the European Union, the IntelliDrive initiative in the US, Smartway, DSSS (Driving Safety Support System), and ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) in Japan, and others. Standardization efforts include ISO TC204 and IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x), SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe, and ARIB T-75 in Japan. We propose this special issue that will solicit high-quality papers from researchers and practitioners throughout the world, presenting the new and exciting research results related to the theory or practice of vehicular ad hoc networks and vehicular internetworking. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: Channel modeling Modulation and coding Power control and scalability issues Medium access control protocols Multiple access techniques for VANETs Multichannel organization and operation Communication protocol design Safety, efficiency, and commercial applications Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/internet communication Simulation frameworks Field operational testing Test methodologies Impact assessment Network management Security issues and countermeasures Privacy issues All submissions must describe original research results and must not be published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable: Manuscript Due June 1, 2011 First Round of Reviews September 1, 2011 Publication Date December 1, 2011 Guest Editors Vojislav B.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Surveys and Tutorials Special Issue on Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication Datum: Wed, 18 May 2011 16:53:09 +0900 Von: Jinsung Lee <ljs(a)netsys.kaist.ac.kr> An: <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Posted on behalf of Yung Yi, and please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies. ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------- Special Issue IEEE Communication Surveys and Tutorials *Energy-Efficient Multimedia Communication* Background Multimedia has gained immense popularity in a variety of applications related to education, entertainment, business, and location-based services. Recent advances in networking and display technologies have enabled the dissemination of multimedia to a variety of devices, from cellular telephones to tablet PCs to wall-size screens. The proliferation of media hosting services and social networks have allowed users to easily share multimedia content with a much wider audience. Digital cameras and camcorders have replaced films and tapes, making it simpler to generate multimedia. Users can easily view, process, analyze, publish, retrieve, or modify multimedia on these devices. However, energy consumption is still a major challenge in the dissemination of multimedia. Energy is consumed during various stages - processing, communication, and storage - of multimedia. In addition, data centers where media services are hosted have also seen a rapid increase in energy consumption in recent times. This trend is not sustainable. Significant progress must be made to save energy and slow down the rate of energy consumption in all these stages. This special issue aims to provide researchers and professionals in the communication, networking, multimedia, and computing communities with insightful papers that present an overview of new approaches to making multimedia communications more energy-efficient. Scope Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Energy-efficient network/communication protocols for multimedia data transmission Energy-efficient multimedia communication architectures Low-power hardware, software, or both for different stages of multimedia processing, such as acquisition, coding, compression, storage, transmission, and reception Energy-efficient techniques for content analysis, indexing, searching, and retrieval in resource-constrained (such as mobile and embedded) systems System-level energy-efficient design and implementation for multimedia communication Energy conservation for multimedia on mobile devices Tools for measuring and analyzing energy consumed during multimedia communication Manuscript Submission IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is a ComSoc publication. It is an ideal venue for researchers and other communications professionals to publish tutorials and surveys reachable to a large global audience. Articles should be written in a style comprehensible and appealing to readers outside the specialty of the article. Authors are encouraged to visit the "Call for Papers" and "Information for Authors" pages at the IEEE Surveys and Tutorials web site at http://dl.comsoc.org/surveys/.
