Driven by advances in MEMS micro-sensors, wireless networking, and embedded processing, ad-hoc networks of sensors are becoming increasingly available for commercial and military applications such as environmental monitoring (e.g., traffic, habitat, security), industrial sensing and diagnostics (e.g., factory, appliances), critical infrastructure protection (e.g., power grids, water distribution, waste disposal), and situational awareness for battlefield applications. Information processing in sensor networks draws upon many disciplines including signal processing/detection/estimation, networking and protocols, embedded systems, data bases and information management, as well as distributed algorithms. It opens up new research venues, which include sensor tasking and control, tracking and localization, probabilistic reasoning, sensor data fusion, distributed data bases, communication protocols and theory that address network coverage, connectivity, and capacity, as well as system/software architecture and design methodologies. Moreover, all these issues have to consider many cross-cutting requirements such as efficiency/cost tradeoff, robustness, self-organization, fault-tolerance, timeliness, scalability, and network longevity. This Symposium will address issues from physical device design, to signal processing and from networking to coordination protocols. The Symposium will place special attention to revolutionary new applications that are enabled by sensor network technology. Topical areas of sensor networks include, but not limited to: * Distributed and collaborative signal processing * Network protocols for sensor networks * Coding, compression, and information theory * Distributed query processing * Detection, classification, estimation, and tracking * Network coverage, connectivity, and longevity * Sensor tasking and control * Embedded architectures and tools * In-network processing and aggregation * Data storage in sensor networks * Location and time services * Energy and resource management * Distributed inference and fusion * Programming models and languages * Real-time scheduling * Security and fault tolerance * Simulation tools and environments * Networked sensing and control * Applications of sensor networks (e.g., automotive, battlefield, biology, construction, disaster recovery, environmental, medical, security) Along with a set of high-quality technical papers, IPSN'04 will also include invited talks that highlight the state-of-the-art of sensor network applications and research. The Symposium program will include poster sessions that provide researchers with opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and gather feedback from the sensor network community at large. The Symposium will also include industrial exhibition and demonstrations. KEY DATES Abstract submission: October 27, 2003 Full manuscript due: November 3, 2003 (firm deadline) Acceptance notification: January 20, 2004 Camera-ready copy: February 14, 2004 Conference: April 26-27, 2004 SUBMISSION GUIDELINE All papers will be submitted electronically, in Portable Document Format (PDF) format.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Call for Papers - IJCS SI on QoS Suppor and Service Differentiation in Wireless Networks Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 15:02:16 -0400 From: Ahmad, Aftab <aahmad(a)nsu.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> *_Call for Papers_* International Journal of Communication Systems /Special Issue on/ *_"QoS Support and Service Differentiation in Wireless Networks"_* /Tentative Publication Date: April 2004 Full papers submission deadline: //15 October 2003/ /Reviews due: /15 January 2004 Camera-ready copies due: 15 February 2004 Wireless access technology has created a new dimension for user access over the past few years. This has opened up a number of issues, one of which is QoS. The rapid adoption of wireless and IP based applications has created a strong driving force towards ubiquitous data services. A common understanding of the next generation of wireless systems that will offer such services is that they will involve multiple technologies and concepts that are still evolving. A major challenge in this heterogeneous environment is to provide proper QoS for mobile and stationary users using both customized and access agnostic applications and the need to analyze latency as a function of traffic profiles. The goal of this Special Issue is to collect high-quality scientific contributions discussing QoS strategies and tradeoffs at the Physical, Data Link, Network and Transport layers, for both already deployed as well as innovative/emerging wireless technologies. Papers reporting original, unpublished results on following topics are solicited: - Service differentiation and current enhancements in wireless LANs. - QoS management and capacity optimization in multi-access, multi-service networks. - Resource management for QoS-sensitive services. - Local versus end-to-end QoS provisioning, including QoS issues in mixed cellular/WLAN environment. - Software implementation and its robustness for QoS in wireless networks. - Performance models for multi-class wireless networks with emphasis on latency, throughput and goodput for various offered traffic profiles. - Architectures and Protocols for QoS provisioning in multi-access multi-service networks * * *Submission Instructions* Only electronic submissions are welcomed.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Deadline is rapidly approaching: JSAC Special Issue on Wireless Ad Hoc Networks]
by Lars Wolf 26 Sep '03

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Deadline is rapidly approaching: JSAC Special Issue on Wireless Ad Hoc Networks Date: Fri, 26 Sep 2003 14:31:09 -0400 From: Jeff Wieselthier <wieselthier(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications WIRELESS AD HOC NETWORKS http://www.argreenhouse.com/society/J-SAC/Calls/wireless_adhoc.html * *Novel approaches are needed to address ad hoc networks, which are characterized by the lack of an infrastructure. For example, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint modes of communication must be supported in a multihop network that typically consists of small (often disadvantaged) users that are characterized by severely limited energy supply, signal-processing capability, antenna directivity, bandwidth, etc. Crucial applications for mobile ad hoc networks include military communications and disaster relief, although commercial applications are certainly possible as well. In applications with a large number of nodes, scalability is a major concern. The study of ad hoc networks is an interdisciplinary one, which can potentially incorporate communication and information theory, distributed networking algorithms, data structures and compression, coding, signal processing, detection, antenna characteristics, optimization methods, simulation, testbed implementations etc. Papers submitted for this special issue must directly address ad hoc networking issues. We outline here only a few of the many aspects of ad hoc network design and control that will be addressed in this special issue. First, distributed network organization algorithms (such as those for clustering) may be used to create the equivalent of an ad hoc infrastructure. Distributed algorithms are also needed for routing, channel access, and other control functions. Networking techniques for ad hoc networks must address the challenges imposed by the all-wireless environment. For example, by contrast with wired networks, the conventional layered protocol stack is not well suited to the ad hoc wireless networking environment because it does not exploit the potential improvements in performance that can be obtained by jointly designing protocols that span multiple layers. Specifically, it is expected that improved performance can be obtained by considering the properties of the physical and data link layers when designing and operating the media-access control (MAC) protocol. Similarly, there are potential benefits to be obtained by developing protocols that address jointly the routing and MAC functions. Additional benefits can be obtained by jointly addressing higher-layer functions along with routing and MAC. Energy-aware protocols (from the perspective of either energy-efficient or energy-constrained operation) are of critical importance in many ad hoc scenarios. Such energy-aware operation can span multiple layers, e.g., by addressing trade-offs between energy used for RF transmission and for signal processing. It is the goal of this special issue to reflect the latest in the state of the art in ad hoc networks by examining all aspects of ad hoc network design and control, including the dependencies between various network functions and the potential benefits that can be gained by cross-layer design. We are interested in papers on fundamental performance limits, but more importantly on algorithm design and performance, system implementations, etc. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Physical layer issues in ad hoc networks * Media Access Control (MAC) techniques * Self-organizing architectures and protocols * Routing protocols * Cross-layer protocol design * Mobility management * Protocols for mobile applications * Transport-layer issues * Signal-processing issues in ad hoc networks * Integration with wired networks * Applications * Energy-aware protocols * Security in ad hoc networks * Capacity and scheduling * Node implementation * Effects on existing protocols * Quality of service * Broadcasting and multicasting * Multimedia and traffic integration * Experiments and testbeds * Error-control schemes * Synchronization and scheduling * Scalability * Performance analysis and simulation * Properties of antennas * Optimization methods * Fundamental limits in ad hoc networks All papers on any of the above topics must include a definite and strong connection to ad hoc networks.
