-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers: Second Workshop on Sensor-Enabled SItuational Awareness SESA 2012, Beijing, April 2012 Datum: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 12:49:17 +0800 Von: Wing Cheong Lau <wclau(a)ie.cuhk.edu.hk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers: Second Workshop on Sensor-Enabled SItuational Awareness SESA 2012 in Conjunction with CPS Week, Beijing, China, April 16, 2012 http://cert.ics.uci.edu/sesa2012/index.html Advances in sensing and multimedia data capture technologies coupled with mechanisms for low power wireless networking have enabled the possibility of creating deeply instrumented physical spaces. Embedded sensors and data capture devices in such environments have potential to capture the state of the evolving physical systems and processes creating situational awareness of the activities in the instrumented space. Situational awareness, in a broad sense, refers to a continuum of knowledge that captures the current state of the physical environments being observed, to future projected states of these observed environments. Such situational awareness offers opportunities to realizing new functionalities and / or bringing transformational improvements in many application domains. While the potential of sensor enabled situational awareness is well recognized, its realization poses numerous challenges which are being actively pursued by the research communities in different disciplines ranging from embedded computing, networking, distributed systems, middleware, data management, software engineering, machine learning, to privacy and security. On the application side, sensor enabled situational awareness forms a critical core for several of the emerging applications including environmental monitoring, Internet of Things and Cyber Physical Systems. The purpose of this workshop is to serve as a multidisciplinary forum to bring researchers from diverse disciplines to discuss the state of the art, identify new emerging challenges and opportunities. With CPS week hosting several conferences related to the domain of cyber physical systems, including IPSN and ICCPS, SESA serves as a fitting venue to discuss the broad challenges in the domain before specific ch allenges are addressed in each of these conferences. The workshop will comprise contributed and invited papers, a keynote and a panel on topics as outlined below. List of Topics: We solicit papers/contributions related (but not limited) to the following themes: New sensing modalities - e.g., audio/video sensors, mobile phone based sensing, human sensors and social networking as information sources. Novel applications of sensor enabled situational awareness. Programming methodologies /abstractions that overcome complexities due to sensor heterogeneity, uncertainty, and errors in sensor data. Modeling & understanding observed environments. Context reasoning and aggregation leading to situational awareness. Scalability and robustness of sensor driven systems that continuously monitor physical spaces. Privacy challenges due to fine-grained sensor data capture. Take advantage of diversity of communication methodologies aware. Energy aware applications optimizing on limited battery capacity even when it comes to today's smartphones. Experiences in building sensor driven situational awareness. Paper Submission: A submission should report on original, previously unpublished research that is not being concurrently considered elsewhere for publication in a journal or conference. A submission consists of up to 8 single-spaced pages using at least 11-point Times Roman font and one-inch margins on all sides on A4 or letter sized pages. The page limit includes title page, references, figures, and tables. Extra material, such as additional experiments, proofs, and graphs, can be included in a clearly-marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the program committee.

URL: http://www.iet.ntnu.no/~jgding/ *Subject of the Workshop* We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking (WSN), which makes it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods of time, the physical environment. Ensuring high connectivity within the network is vital for real applications. Moreover, for many applications, sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed values instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile network infrastructures, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. The integration of RFID and WSN is one of the most promising technologies that will play an important role in the emergence of Internet of the Things (IoT). For example, in a healthcare application, RFID tags can be used to track the elders, whereas the sensors are used to monitor the elders’ conditions. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection becomes effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks, doors will be opened to new vulnerabilities. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but he might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication is an emerging paradigm that transmits events captured by low-end machines such as sensors and smart meters, to high-end applications that translate the captured events into meaningful information. Data generally flows from a machine over a wired, wireless, or hybrid network and then through a gateway to a system where it can be automatically reviewed and actions may be taken without any interaction from an operator. M2M is used in a wide range of applications such as remote e-healthcare, smart homes, utility management, and industrial automation. Connecting different WSNs/part of a WSN is another issue that needs to be considered. A WSN might get partitioned into distinct segments due to battery exhaustion of sensors. Providing mechanisms to restore connectivity by connecting those segments is of high importance, where an isolated segment of sensor nodes that cannot reach its sink can exploit the existence of a neighboring reachable WSN to deliver its sensed information. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. *Topics* Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to WSN, with more focus on the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, as well as connectivity issues in WSNs. They include but are not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Connectivity, deployment, and relocation issues in WSNs - Interconnection/Integration of WSN and RFID - M2M communications - IPv6/6LoWPAN in WSN - Interconnecting sensor and actor networks - Interconnecting WSN and fixed network - Interconnecting WSN and mobile network (e.g., GSM, UAV; etc.) - Interconnecting onboard vehicular sensors and fixed infrastructure (V2I) - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - Testdeds for integrated networks - Security issues for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Fault-tolerance and dependability for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Quality of Service (QoS) issues for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Network, transport, and middleware protocols for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - In-network processing and aggregation for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Location, synchronization and time services for interconnecting WSN and other networks. - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services *Submission guidelines and policy * Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.
