In recent years, WSN applications based on simple sense-and-send type operations are replaced by more sophisticated applications that require guarantees from WSNs in communication and information processing. While service guarantees in wireless ad hoc networks have been researched in the past, these solutions cannot be directly applied to WSNs due to limited resource environment and large scale of WSNs. Solutions developed for WSNs must not only cater to the requirements of applications, but also conserve valuable energy resources of sensor nodes, be adaptive to unexpected changes, and operate in loose coordination with the rest of the network. These requirements also highlight the need for cross-layer design and interactions between sensor hardware, protocol layers, and application middleware. This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in the area of wireless sensor networks. Papers describing protocols, models, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of WSNs are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - WSN cross-layer protocol suites - Real-time communication in WSNs - Protocols for application-level service guarantees for WSNs - WSN capacity modeling and analysis - Application modeling for WSNs - Application admission methods for WSNs - Joint data processing and communication solutions for WSNs - Fault-tolerant communication and data processing in WSNs - Topology control and network reconfiguration - Localization, synchronization, and mobility - Security issues, solutions, and models - Novel WSN architectures and applications - Experimental and testbed studies of WSNs Submission Instructions: ------------------------ Full papers must be submitted in PDF format by e-mail to ekici(a)ece.osu.edu.

It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to ponder. On the one hand, we see present day mobile devices capable of providing many integrated services that only yesterday required several different devices. For instance, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and the desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand, the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. (Please visit http://pernets.org/ for more information and submission instructions) Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems outlined above towards a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting the goal of a Personalized Network. * Addressing and routing * Architectural framework of personalized networks * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Dependability * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of person-centric applications * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Multimedia services for personalized networks * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Resource, service and context discovery * Security, privacy and accounting * Self-organization and adaptation * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, which attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.
