[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Wireless Technologies in Factory and Industrial Automation"]
by Lars Wolf 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics Special Section on "Wireless Technologies in Factory and Industrial Automation" Datum: Mon, 17 Apr 2006 19:08:33 +0200 Von: Andreas Willig <awillig(a)tkn.tu-berlin.de> Organisation: Telecommunication Networks Group An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Repost, deadline was wrong. Please apologize for any duplicates. ------------------------------------ Wireless technologies have the potential of providing significant benefits in factory and industrial automation systems. The wireless way of communicating makes plant setup and modification easier, cheaper and more flexible. It provides a natural approach towards communication with mobile equipment where wires are in constant danger of breaking. It enables new applications where wireless transmission is the only option, e.g., measurements and control of rotating or highly mobile devices, and provides a novel approach to existing applications, e.g., localization and tracking of goods. Wireless technologies do, however, suffer from time-varying error rates, interference and security problems. This imposes a number of problems, especially in the industrial application field, where often tight constraints in terms of reliability, safety, dependability and real-time requirements have to be fulfilled in order to avoid severe financial losses or even damage to equipment or life. Several other issues may arise, including the interconnection of wireless systems with legacy industrial communication systems, the provisioning of support for proper system planning, configuration and commissioning of wireless industrial communication systems as well as power feeding problems. The goal of this special section is to attract theoretical and practical papers attacking the main issues and challenges concerning the adoption of wireless technologies in industrial communications; reporting about implementation experiences; describing and evaluating the design of new applications of wireless technologies in industrial and automation systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: - Lower-layer protocols for ensuring efficient, reliable and timely data transmissions in industrial environments: physical layer, coding, MAC / link-layer techniques. - Wireless fieldbus systems, including hybrid wired/wireless systems and wireless extensions of wired configurations. - Wireless-aware, industrial type, higher-layer protocols. - Middleware for wireless industrial applications. - Standardization activities with special emphasis on wireless technologies for factory and industrial automation systems. - Security of wireless communication systems in industrial environments. - Applications of wireless technologies (incl. RFID) in factory/industrial automation systems, including innovative applications like wireless-based localization, tracking. - Field trials and low-level measurements (e.g., channel properties, interference) for the characterization of industrial environments. - System-level tools for wireless network planning and configuration in industrial settings. - Wireless power transmission in industrial environments. We seek original contributions not currently under review by other journals. All contributions must focus on industrial applications and requirements. Results obtained by simulations must be validated in bounds by experiments or analytical results. The novelty of the contributions should be clearly indicated and related to the current state of the art. Manuscript preparation and submission: Follow the guidelines in "Information for Authors" in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics http://www.ewh.ieee.org/soc/ies/tii/ Submit using Manuscript Central only http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii Key dates: Paper submission deadline: August 31, 2006 Expected publication date: August 2007 Note: The recommended papers for the section are subject to final approval by the Editor in Chief and Editor at Large for special sections.

CoNext 2006 will be a major forum in the area of future networking technologies. CoNext emphasizes synergies between various international and technical communities. The conference will feature a single-track, high quality technical program with significant opportunities for technical and social interaction among a close-knit community of participants. CoNext aims to be open and accommodating to multiple viewpoints and is committed to fairness in the review process and to returning deep and sound technical feedback to authors of submitted paper. CoNext 2006 will emphasize the emerging new paradigms for large-scale, ubiquitous networking. These generally aim to achieve new functionality to support advanced networked services and to provide seamless integration for embedded, wireless, and mobile devices into the network fabric. Relevant topics for the conference include (but not limited to) the following: - Autonomic communications - Pervasive networks - Delay and disruption tolerant networks - Dependable networks - Experimental networks and testbeds - Mobility - Content distribution - Network and protocol architecture - Networked games - Economic aspects of the Internet - Wireless communication - Ad-hoc and sensor networks - Measurement and monitoring - Network management - Security and privacy - Overlay and peer-to-peer Networks - Multimedia applications - Optical networking - Micro vs. macro Internet modelling - Traffic and network engineering - Routing, forwarding and addressing - SLA and service engineering - Traffic and network engineering - Clean-slate approaches to networking - Incentive to cooperate, micro-payments Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another conference or journal for publication.

[Fwd: Call for Papers! Situation Management Workshop (SIMA) @ MILCOM 2006]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers! Situation Management Workshop (SIMA) @ MILCOM 2006 Datum: Thu, 13 Apr 2006 21:31:06 -0400 Von: ComSocConferences(a)comsoc.org Antwort an: <Conferencesx(a)comsoc.org> An: Conferencesx(a)comsoc.org * * *MILCOM 2006* *2nd IEEE Workshop on Situation Management - SIMA 2006 **24 October 2006 \ Washington, DC* *In conjunction with MILCOM Call For Papers* *Many domains, such as modern battlefield operations management, disaster response and crisis management, physical infrastructure and cyber security monitoring, and mobile/autonomic robotics, are characterized by heightened mobility, large number of distributed heterogeneous information sources, and existence of complex, often incomplete and unpredictable dynamic situations. As a result, there is need for effective methods of situation recognition, prediction, reasoning and control -- operations collectively identifiable as Situation Management. Often situations involve a large number of inter-dependent dynamic objects that change their states in time and space, and engage each other into fairly complex relations. >From a management viewpoint it is important to understand the situations in which these objects participate, to recognize emerging trends and potential threats, and to undertake required actions. Understanding of dynamic situations requires complex cognitive modeling of situations, building situation ontologies, and continuous collection, perception, and fusion of signal and human intelligence events and reports. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and decision makers from government, industry and academia to present the state of their research, development and systems needs in situation management, to discuss fundamental issues and problems, and to identify future R&D directions. Technical papers are invited in areas including but not limited to the following topics: * * *Situation Calculus * * *Situation Modeling * * *Situation Ontologies and Semantics * * *Situation Specification Languages and Tools * * *Situation Monitoring and Awareness * * *Reasoning about Situations * * *Learning and Situation Discovery * * *Predictive Situation Modeling * * *Cognitive Models of Information Fusion * * *Situation Management Architectures * * *Agents, Grids and Distributed Situation Management * * *Situation Management in Autonomic and Self-Organizing Systems * * *Net-Centric Warfare and Battlespace Situation Management * * *Disaster Response & Crisis Management * * *Infrastructure and Cyber Security Situation Management * *Please submit a title and a brief abstract of your paper at http://www.milcom.org/2006/index.htm <http://www.milcom.org/2005/>.
