Popular technologies such the IEEE 802.11 were the catalyst for the widespread use of wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Nomadic computing, home networks, and Wi- Fi services are now common place. The transition to multi-hop wireless networks has seemed natural for quite some time now, but has yet to happen. Nonetheless, wireless networks have become important to a range of applications and systems. Numerous research efforts contributed systems and protocols for that purpose and lead to new, lower cost equipment, products, and services. At the same time, impromptu and on-demand formation of networks, often ephemeral, volatile, or highly mobile, got increased attention in the community, resulting in a large volume of novel schemes to basically revise networking. The increasing capabilities and the proliferation of wireless devices, and the increasing needs of their users raise new technical challenges. To address those, both theoretical and systems approaches are invaluable. In this ICCCN track, we invite submissions of works with novel contributions of either type. We are primarily interested in submissions of papers concerned with: • Wireless local area networks • Wireless mesh networks • Mobile ad hoc networks • Vehicular ad hoc networks • Opportunistic and delay tolerant networks Track Topics • Algorithms and fundamental limits • Protocols for medium access control, route discovery, data transmission, transport, synchronization, localization, etc. • Modeling and performance evaluation • Experimentation, measurements, and test-beds • Applications, software, and tools • Cross-layer design and enhancements • Security and privacy • Architectures, including the integration of wireless ad hoc and infrastructure networks • Deployment challenges, methods, and experiences • User-centric systems, including mobile social networks • Mobile platforms, such as smartphones • Energy efficient design ********** Committees ********** Track Chairs: • Matthias Hollick, TU Darmstadt, Germany • Panagiotis (Panos) Papadimitratos, KTH, Sweden Track Technical Program Committee: • Tarek Abdelzaher, University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, USA • Venkataramana Badarla, Indian Institute of Technology Rajasthan, India • Nilanjan Banerjee, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, USA • Stefano Basagni, Northeastern University, USA • Giuseppe Bianchi, University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Italy • Fernando Boavida, University of Coimbra, Portugal • Luciano Bononi, University of Bologna, Italy • Raffaele Bruno, IIT-CNR, Italy • Lukasz Budzisz, Technical University of Berlin, Germany • Claudio Casetti, Politecnico di Torino, Italy • Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Politecnico di Torino, Italy • Jeong-woo Cho, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden • Jing Deng, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA • Marco Fiore, INSA Lyon, France • J.J.

One such application is Smart Monitoring where smart devices can remotely monitor a patient's vital signs as well as other contextual information. In this regard the Smart Monitoring System consists of traditional health care sensors such as EKG, blood pressure, pulse-oximeter and glucose meter as well as other sensors for recording the contextual information such as motion, temperature, light, humidity etc. The patient's medical and contextual information can be locally processed and automatically transmitted to the relevant health-care staff, or they can be handled locally in the homes. These smart devices can assist in knowledge extraction and filtering the unwanted data. The quality of current health care system can be significantly improved by using these smart devices. The realization of Smart Monitoring is technically challenging as it involves many research areas such as wearable computing, context-awareness, sensor data fusion, security and privacy, reliable communication protocols, decision support systems and user-friendly interfaces. Although significant progress has been made in last few years, however, more work is needed to for the pragmatic realization of this technology. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia to present their work and get the feedback. 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 smart monitoring technologies in health care. Topics Techniques, applications, algorithms, and implementations for: - Ubiquitous and pervasive healthcare services - Privacy, trust, and security in tele-health - Sensor network management for tele-health - Body sensor networks - Monitoring elderly and congestive heart failure patients - Monitoring chronic medical conditions - Integration of smart applications in healthcare system - Intelligent agent architectures - Patient emotion detection - Intelligent agent based support - Medical data fusion Paper Submission Authors are requested to submit their papers electronically using the online conference management system in PDF format before the deadline *April 30, 2011*.

The design and implementation of these services in a high-performance, reliable, scalable, secure and privacy-preserving fashion presents exciting research challenges. Additionally, the experimentation and validation in VANETs either relies on simulations or testbeds. On the one hand, simulation requires realistic network and mobility models. On the other hand, with the emergence of communications standards and hardware, prototyping and testbeds allow to obtain performance measures under real-word conditions such as realistic signal propagation and vehicles' mobility. VANETs are therefore a popular and active research field with many ongoing large-scale projects involving governments, academia and industry. The workshop on VANETs from Theory to Practice (VTP 2012) will to bring together researchers on VANETs to present and discuss recent advances in the development of inter-vehicular networking technologies. The workshop covers all theoretical and practical aspects related to applications modelling, simulation, prototyping and testbeds in VANETs.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: Extended Deadline for Int. Workshop on Sensor Network Applications at ICSE! Datum: Fri, 17 Feb 2012 09:34:32 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | SESENA 2012 | 3rd International Workshop on Software Engineering for | Sensor Network Applications | | Zurich, Switzerland, 2 June 2012 | | In conjunction with | ACM/IEEE Intl. Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Paper submission: 24 February 2012 (extended!!!) | Author notification: 19 March 2012 | Camera-ready copy: 29 March 2012 +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | http://www.sesena.info +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ By acting as the interface between digital and physical worlds, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) represent a fundamental building block of the upcoming Internet of Things and a key enabler for Cyber-physical and Pervasive Systems. Despite the interest raised by this decade-old research topic, the development of WSN software is still carried out in a rather primitive fashion, by building software directly atop the operating system and by relying on an individuals hard-earned programming skills. WSN developers must face not only the functional application requirements but also a number of challenging, non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce resources. The heterogeneity of network nodes, the unpredictable environmental influences, and the large size of the network further add to the difficulties. In the WSN community there is a growing awareness of the need for methodologies, techniques, and abstractions that simplify the development task and increase the confidence in the correctness and performance of the resulting software. Software engineering (SE) support is therefore sought, not only to ease the development task but also to make it more reliable, dependable, and repeatable. Nevertheless, this topic has received so far very little attention by the SE community. SESENA12 aims to attract researchers belonging to both the SE and WSN communities, not only to exchange recent research results on the topic, but also to stimulate discussion about the core open problems and to define a shared research agenda. The workshop welcomes both research contributions and position statements. The former will foster in depth technical discussions of novel results with an audience composed of both SE and WSN researchers. The latter will provide the opportunity for presenting open problems, provocative views, or previously unexplored ideas in an informal fashion. SESENA12 will also host two special sessions: (i) a "speakers’ corner" composed of impromptu presentations where attendees (including those without accepted papers) will have the opportunity to present their own views in very short segments (e.g., 2-4 minutes), and (ii) a session dedicated to the VISION project, an FP7 ERC Starting Grant focusing on developing an innovative infrastructure for real-time sensing services. In the latter session, the intermediate project results will be presented with the dual goal of sharing the uniqueness of the ERC-style grants and discussing technical elements to identify possible future collaborations. Topics of interest: The workshop focuses on software engineering issues arising in networked (embedded) sensing systems and their possible integration in Internet of Things scenarios. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - environment and context modeling; - development methodologies; - (macro-)programming languages and compilers; - testing, debugging, and validation; - non-functional modeling and analysis; - security and trust; - formal verification and model-checking; - model-driven approaches; - middleware systems; - interfacing WSNs and business services; - integration of WSNs in IoT applications.

While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The Seventh IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution.

Fwd: [Tccc] [CFP] Workshop on Interconnections of Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSN'12)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP] Workshop on Interconnections of Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSN'12) Datum: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:06:55 +0000 (GMT) Von: boudour ghalem <boudour_ghalem(a)yahoo.fr> Antwort an: boudour ghalem <boudour_ghalem(a)yahoo.fr> An: "tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu" <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> *** Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP *** CALL FOR PAPERS IWSN 2012 The Third International Workshop on Interconnections of Wireless Sensor Networks In conjunction with IEEE/ACM DCOSS 2012, 18 May 2012, Hangzhou, China http://iwsn2012.gforge.uni.lu/index.html 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. 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 Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: March 01, 2012 Author notification: April 01, 2012 Camera-ready papers and author registration: April 30, 2012 Ghalem Boudour PhD fellow Grenoble Institut of Technologie / LIG Lab Phone +33(0)6 25 61 69 43 boudour_ghalem(a)yahoo.fr _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: The 5th International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (WiSARN 2012-Spring) Datum: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 12:41:08 +0100 Von: Enrico Natalizio <enatalizio(a)deis.unical.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers The 5th International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (WiSARN 2012-Spring) http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/WiSARN2012Spring/ To be held in conjunction with The 8th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS'12) May 16-18, Hangzhou, China. 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.
