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.

CFP: PWSN 2012 4th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks
by Lars Wolf 09 Mar '12

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies) Additional information about this workshop: **** Together with four other workshops, PWSN will take place in conjunction with DCOSS2012 and have two great common workshop keynotes by Professors Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Ottawa, Canada and Sajal Das, University of Texas. **** ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS PWSN 2012 4th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2012/ May 18 2012, Hangzhou, China In conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '12) ========================================================================= Wireless sensor networks are currently the subject of intense research and many prototype installations are currently investigated. However, most of the existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. In contrast, many envisioned future application areas of wireless sensor networks (such as plant automation and control, traffic management, medical applications, emergency solutions) require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network towards the end user. To make the networking task more complex, in many applications the end user or the controlling intelligence is located remotely (e.g., remote monitoring, supervision and surveillance applications), and the wireless sensor network interworks with other networks (e.g., fixed infrastructure cellular, Internet). Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor network with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. The workshop intends to examine research challenges associated with achieving dependability in WSNs, share experiences from real-life deployment of dependable sensor networks, discuss application-dependent wireless sensor-actuator design methodologies, illustrate dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, and in general, explore issues of reliability in WSNs. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- * Architectures: real-time systems, critical network architectures * Applications: Critical applications, application requirements, novel applications and real-world deployments * Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models of network performance * MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption. * Routing and topology control: Methods to control network topology, services for time, location, and power management, topology robustness, reliability and fault tolerance * Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability, methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks, data storage, retrieval, and processing. * Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of sensor network operating systems. * Middleware: Middleware/frameworks providing performance guarantees for sensor network applications. * Security: System security and data integrity methods, Impact of security features on network performance.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IMC 2012 Datum: Fri, 9 Mar 2012 05:44:52 +0000 Von: Ratul Mahajan <ratul(a)microsoft.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Internet Measurement Conference 2012 Sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMETRICS and in cooperation with USENIX November 14-16 2012, Boston Massachusetts USA The Internet Measurement Conference is a highly selective venue for publishing and discussing measurement-based Internet research. IMC 2012<http://www-net.cs.umass.edu/imc2012/index.htm> invites submissions that expand our understanding of how the Internet ecosystem behaves. IMC takes a broad view of what constitutes the Internet ecosystem. This view includes (but is not limited to): * the Internet backbone and edge networks (e.g., home networks, cellular networks, WLANs) * data centers and cloud computing infrastructure * peer-to-peer and content distribution networks * infrastructure for online social networks * applications that use these networks (e.g., Web, gaming, multimedia streaming, VoIP, MapReduce) Types of contributions that the program committee would enjoy receiving submissions regarding include (but are not limited to): * collection and analysis of data that yield new insights about network structure and behavior (e.g., traffic, topology, routing, privacy, security, energy use, economics) * methods and tools to monitor and visualize network-based phenomena * systems and algorithmic techniques that leverage measurement-based findings in novel ways * advances in data collection and handling (e.g., anonymization, querying, storage, facilitating sharing) * modeling of network structure and behavior (e.g., workload) * reappraisal of previous empirical findings Papers that do not relate to measuring aspects of the Internet ecosystem are out of scope. Authors should contact the program chairs (imc12(a)cs.ucsd.edu) if they are unsure whether their work is in scope. Review process and criteria * IMC 2012 invites two forms of submissions * Full papers (up to 14 pages) that describe original research, with succinctness appropriate to the topics and themes they discuss. * Short papers (up to 6 pages for text and figures + up to 1 page for references) that convey work that is less mature but shows promise, articulate a high-level vision, describe challenging future directions, critique current measurement wisdom, or offer results that do not merit a full submission. All submissions that are longer than what is allowed for a short paper will be evaluated as full papers. Authors should only submit original work that has not been published before and is not under submission to any other venue. We will consider full paper submissions that extend previously published short, preliminary papers (including IMC short papers) following the model of the ACM SIGCOMM policy (http://www.sigcomm.org/about/policies/frequently-asked-questions-faq). * Ethical standards for measurement must be considered by all authors. In particular, authors must conform to acceptable use policies for domains that are probed or monitored, data privacy and anonymity for all personally identifiable information (PII) and etiquette for using shared measurement data. (See Allman and Paxson, IMC '07<http://conferences.sigcomm.org/imc/2007/papers/imc80.pdf>.) If applicable, authors are also urged to notify parties of security flaws in their products or services in advance of publication. Adherence to ethical standards for measurement will be a criterion for all submissions, and any violations---including ambiguous situations not well described---will be grounds for rejection * IMC 2012 will continue the "review summary" exercise from IMC 2011. Published versions of the papers will be accompanied by 1) almost-verbatim but anonymized reviews written by the reviewers, and 2) a short response by the authors to the reviews. For reference, see the IMC 2011 program, where review summaries appear towards the end of each paper. The main goal of this exercise is to make review process more transparent by making public the PC's rationale for accepting the paper, the main concerns of the reviewers, and the authors' response to those concerns. All accepted papers (both long and short) will be included in this process. This exercise does not have any bearing on the accept/reject decision on the paper, and it does not impact papers that are not accepted for publication. * IMC 2012 will bestow two awards (unlike previous years). One award will recognize the outstanding paper at the conference, and all accepted papers are eligible for it. The other award will recognize a paper that contributes a novel dataset to the community. To be eligible for this award, the authors must make their dataset publicly available (e.g., through CRAWDAD<http://crawdad.cs.dartmouth.edu/> for wireless data) by the time of camera ready submission. A few accepted papers may be forwarded for fast-track submission to IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking<http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/RecentIssue.jsp?punumber=90>. Submission guidelines All submissions must satisfy the following requirements: * up to 14 pages for full papers, or up to 6 pages (+1 for references) for short papers * 10-point font for main text; font used in other places (e.g., figures) should be no smaller than 9 point * two-column format, with the size of each column being at most 9.25 x 3.33 inches and the space between columns being at least 0.33 inches * letter page size (11 x 8.5 inches) * include names and affiliations of all authors on the title page (no anonymization) Submissions that do not comply with these requirements will be rejected without review. The sig-alternate-10pt.cls style<http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/sig-alternate-10pt.cls> file satisfies the formatting requirements. Compile your source with options that produce letter page size.

September 2012, Braunschweig http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/alg/wsn-iot-2012/ Bildeten bisher vornehmlich Server, PCs, Laptops und Mobiltelefone die Mehrheit der Internetteilnehmer, so werden in einem zukuenftigen Internet miniaturisierte eingebettete Systeme mit stark begrenzten Ressourcen dominieren. Ein Beispiel fuer solche Systeme sind drahtlose Sensornetze, die einmal in die Umgebung ausgebracht autonom eine applikationsspezifische Ueberwachungsaufgabe erfuellen (z.B. Erkennung von Brandherden in einem Waldgebiet). Urspruenglich als isolierte Netze konzipiert, werden drahtlose Sensornetze zunehmend als integraler Bestandteil eines zukuenftigen Internets gesehen. Durch Verlaengerung der Internetprotokolle in die Sensornetze und damit in die reale Welt hinein entsteht ein Internet der Dinge (engl. Internet of Things, IoT), in dem der Zustand sensorbestueckter Objekte, Personen und Orte in Echtzeit verfuegbar sind und mittels Aktoren sogar beeinflusst werden koennen. Eine ganze Reihe wichtiger Anwendungen koennen von der resultierenden Infrastruktur profitieren. Beispielsweise kann das Internet der Dinge im Bereich "Smart Cities" die Lebensqualitaet verbessern und den Verbrauch von Ressourcen reduzieren. Im Bereich des "Ambient Assisted Living" wird durch das Internet der Dinge ein altersgerechtes autonomen Leben zu Hause ermoeglicht. Die Integration drahtloser Sensoren und Aktoren ins Internet und die Entwicklung von Anwendungen fuer das Internet der Dinge ist hoch komplex, da hier zwei bisher weitgehend voneinander getrennte Welten aufeinandertreffen: des Internet auf der einen Seite und eingebettete Systeme auf der anderen Seite. Es muss also eine Bruecke zwischen den grundlegend verschiedenen Entwurfs- und Entwicklungsmethoden, Protokollen, aber auch Werkzeugen in beiden Welten geschlagen werden. Wichtige Aspekte sind daher die Entwicklung neuartiger uebergreifender Konzepte, Methoden, Algorithmen und Softwareinfrastrukturen zur Integration eingebetteter Systeme ins Internet und zur Entwicklung von Anwendungen fuer das resultierende Internet der Dinge. Im Rahmen dieses Workshops sollen diese Themen in einem interdisziplinaeren Kreis diskutiert werden. Dazu zaehlen explizit sowohl praktische als auch algorithmische Aspekte. Themen - Wireless Sensor Networks - Internet of Things (IoT) - Systems of Systems - Cyber-Physical Systems - Integration mit dem (Future) Internet; IPv6 und 6LoWPAN - Integration mit dem Semantic Web - Services und CoAP - Anwendungsentwicklung - Algorithmen fuer verteilte und eingebettete Systeme - Algorithmen fuer geometrische Netze - Samart Cities - Experimental Facilities Termine - Einreichung der Beitraege: 15. April 2012 - Benachrichtung der Autoren: 6. Mai 2012 - Endgueltige Version: 31. Mai 2012 - Workshop 17. September 2012 Richtlinien fuer die Einreichung Autoren werden gebeten, bisher unveroeffentlichte Beitraege aus Wissenschaft und Forschung ueber EasyChair einzureichen. Jede Einreichung wird unabhaengig durch Mitglieder des Programmkomitees begutachtet. Mindestens ein Autor eines angenommenen Beitrags muss sich fuer die GI-Jahrestagung INFORMATIK 2012 registrieren, im Workshop anwesend sein und den Beitrag praesentieren. Die Beitraege werden in einem Tagungsband in der GI-Reihe "Lecture Notes in Informatics" und in Open-Access-Form erscheinen. Verwenden Sie daher bitte die LNI-Formatvorlagen der GI (Word oder LaTeX).
