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 Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation.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.

Emmanuel Baccelli <emmanuel.baccelli(a)inria.fr> schrieb: (Apologies in advance if you receive multiple copies of this email.) ** 1st ACM International Workshop on Sensor-Enhanced Safety ** ** and Security in Public Spaces (SESP 2012) ** URL: http://sesp.realmv6.org Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA, June 11, 2012, held in conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2012 Public spaces, such as airports, railway stations, or stadiums bring together large numbers of people on limited space to use a security-sensitive infrastructure. Electronic security systems may help to provide better and faster security and safety for the general public. Application scenarios may include intrusion detection and monitoring of large crowds in order to provide guidance in case of unexpected events (e.g., a mass panic). However, current security systems used within the public infrastructure are typically expensive, not trivial to deploy, difficult to operate and maintain, prone to malfunction due to individual component failures, and generally lack citizen privacy-friendliness. The advent of novel, large-scale distributed security systems based on wireless, lightweight sensors may enhance security and safety in public spaces. SESP 2012 is an international forum for researchers, developers, and practitioners to demonstrate new ideas, techniques, and tools that enable the design of inexpensive, flexible, resilient, and privacy-friendly security systems for enhanced security and safety in public spaces. The workshop welcomes academia, government, industry, and contributing individuals to submit unpublished papers in theoretical and practical aspects of computer, networking and communications security. SESP will provide participants with fresh ideas, inspiring challenges, and novel approaches in the context of wireless sensor-based safety and security in public spaces. Solutions have not been fully analyzed in favor of identifying novel corners in the solution space. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Supporting Networks * Ad hoc networks * Wireless sensor networks & PLC-based sensor networks * Wireless mesh networks * Wireless social networks * Hybrid wired/wireless networks * Ad hoc networks integration in infrastructure networks Middleware Design & Methodologies * Trust in pervasive environments * Tradeoff analysis between performance, security, and privacy * Security standards * Dependability and reliability * Secure routing protocols * Access control * Security in networked sensing and control systems * Global sensing (e.g., smartphones) Applications * Secure location determination * Intrusion detection * Crowd monitoring * Secure group communication * Area surveillance * Early warning systems * Mass panic prevention * Intelligent guidance systems ---------------------- ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE ---------------------- Workshop Co-Chairs - Emmanuel Baccelli, INRIA & Éole Polytechnique, France - Thomas C.

In contrast to the main conference, SESP is a platform to report results with shorter turn-around time and work-in-progress. All paper submissions must follow the standard alternate ACM double column format with at least 10-pt font. Each submission can have at most 5 pages. Details: http://sesp.realmv6.org/cfp.html Please, submit your paper via https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sesp2012. ------------------------------ REVIEW PROCESS AND PUBLICATION ------------------------------ All papers will be carefully evaluated by at least three reviewers. The review process is single-blind. Authors of accepted papers must present their paper at the workshop. All accepted papers will be published in the same CD/USB as the main conference and in the ACM Digital Library. Papers may be excluded from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from ACM Digital Library) if the paper is not presented at the workshop. In case of double submissions or (self-)plagiarism, the paper will be excluded from the technical program. --------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------- - Full paper: March 9, 2012 (firm) - Notification: March 25, 2012 - Final version: April 1, 2012 ------- CONTACT ------- Please, send questions to sesp2012(a)easychair.org.

As in previous years, the workshop will continue to focus on both established and emerging research topics, high-risk high-return ideas and proposals, and future research directions in multimedia networking and systems, in a single-track format that encourages active participation and discussions among academic and industry researchers and practitioners. The workshop seeks research papers in all areas of multimedia networking and systems. Authors are especially encouraged to submit papers with real-world experimental results and real data sets. Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to): Operating system, middleware and network support cloud and peer-to-peer system architectures Media streaming, distribution and storage support Web 2.0 systems and social networks Wireless networks and embedded systems for multimedia applications Multi-core and many-core architecture support Networked GPUs, graphics and virtual environments Networked games / Real-time immersive systems Multimedia communications and system security In particular, we are interested in soliciting papers that discuss system-level support for social media and social networking, papers that focus on improving performance with multi-core and many-core processors, as well as papers that focus on multimedia applications on mobile devices and/or in a cloud computing environment. Important Dates Paper Deadline: March 1, 2012, 23:59 EST Notification: April 2, 2012 Camera Ready Due: April 16, 2012 Early Registration: May 15, 2012 Please refer to this link for more details about paper submissions: http://london.csl.toronto.edu/nossdav12/ -- Shervin Shirmohammadi, Ph.D., P.Eng.
