[Tccc] DWSAN4CIP'09 deadline is approaching
by Evgeny Osipov 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this e-mail.) CALL FOR PAPERS DWSAN4CIP 2009 International Workshop on Dependable Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks for Critical Infrastructure Protection http://www.wsan4cip.eu/dwsan4cip November 10, 2009, Madrid, Spain Organized by EU FP7 project WSAN4CIP Technically supported by IntelliCIS COST Action IC0806 OVERVIEW: It is hard to overestimate the role of ICT systems in operational cycles of modern industry and life supporting infrastructures. ICT control systems are used to continuously monitor the state of industrial processes and status of critical infrastructures. Over the last few years Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSAN) technology appeared as an ideal technological building block to improve the reliability and availability of ICTs in critical operational environments. On the other hand WSANs themselves become part of a critical infrastructures and processes. Whenever another layer of complexity is added to a system, this opens new possibilities for system failures, misuse or malicious attacks. The critical prerequisite for WSANs to be adopted in performance critical applications is their dependability, i.e. the ability of a system to deliver specified services to the user. It is, however, by far not trivial to make WSANs dependable for variety of applications in different operation environments and having different performance requirements. For DWSAN workshop we solicit original contributions aiming at achieving dependability of WSAN technology on different layers. Experiences from real-life deployment of dependable WSANs, application dependent WSAN design methodologies, dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, general issues of reliability, security in dependable WSANs are some of the key research topics to be discussed during the workshop. The goal of the workshop is to present high-quality results in the field, and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context, the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. Workshop Topics Topics of interest to DWSAN 2009 include (but are not limited to) the following: * Real life experience from deployment of wireless sensor networks in critical applications * Methodologies for assessment of performance requirements * Methodologies for systematic design of WSAN communication architecture * Application of control theory for cross-layer optimization of dependable communication protocols for WSAN * Dependable MAC protocols * Dependable routing protocols * Dependable transport protocols * Intelligent energy and QoS management * Fault tolerant middleware for WSANs * Operating systems for dependable WSANs * Security services Proceedings This year DWSAN4CIP offers only Fast Track publication in workshop proceedings. Authors are invited to submit their contributions as a two pages extended abstract in double column IEEE format. Up to 10 best contributions will be invited to submit full papers for publication in electronic workshop proceedings. Revised and extended versions of the most outstanding papers will be suggested for publication in the International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection (Elsevier). Important Dates Paper submission: September 30, 2009 Acceptance notification: October 15, 2009 Camera ready: October 30, 2009 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] CFP: The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-10)
by Dr. Isaac Woungang 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

================================================================== Call for Papers The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-10) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 24th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-10), Perth, Australia, April 20-23, 2010 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON10/ ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- With the explosive deployment of mobile wireless devices recently, Opportunistic Networking is becoming an increasingly popular area in networking research, in which the assumption of having end-to-end paths between the source and the destination is relaxed. Such networks fall into the fields of mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) and delay-tolerant networking (DTN).Opportunistic Networks enable user communication in an environment where disconnection and reconnection are common and link performance is extremely dynamic. They are very suitable to support the situation where network infrastructure has limited coverage and users have "islands of connectivity". By taking advantage of device mobility, information can be stored and forwarded over a wireless link when connection 'opportunities' arise (e.g. an appropriate network contact is met). In this view, traditional Internet connectivity can be considered as a special case of connection opportunity. With numerous emerging applications, Opportunistic Networks allow a huge number of devices to communicate end-to-end without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure and are very suitable to support pervasive networking scenarios. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Advanced technologies for enabling opportunistic communication * Architectures for opportunistic networks * Applications for opportunistic networks * Biological and social models for opportunistic communication * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Network and resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * MAC layer issues and physical layer for opportunistic networks * Simulation and modeling of Opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts the following website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=won10 The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission: Nov 01, 2009 Author Notification: Dec 01, 2009 Final Manuscript Due: Jan 15, 2010 Workshop Date: 20 April 2010 General Chair Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Isaac Woungang, Ryerson University, Canada Program Committee Members (To be determined) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Researchers] Elsevier's Information Fusion Journal, Special Issue on "Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks" Datum: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 01:02:12 -0300 Von: Profa Mirela Sechi Moretti Annoni Notare <mirela(a)barddal.br> An: <researchers(a)mailman.ufsc.br> [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Elsevier's Information Fusion Journal, Special Issue on "Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks" http://www.elsevierscitech.com/lmfile/otherformat/IFJ-CFP-RCN-Final.pdf Submission Deadline: February 28, 2010 The Information Fusion Journal (IFJ), an Elsevier publication (JCR 2008: 2.057), is planning a special issue devoted to Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks. Resource-Constrained Networks (RCNs) include a wide variety of networks in which resources - such as processing, communication, and energy - are limited. Examples of RCNs include ad hoc networks, sensor networks, mobile networks, and pervasive systems. In RCNs, the tradeoff between data quality and resource usage (especially energy) is a major concern. In this case, Localized Algorithms and Information Fusion are particularly interesting for RCNs, since the development of efficient practical solutions and algorithms is possibly the most challenging task for such networks. On one hand, Localized Algorithms are special distributed algorithms in which only a subset of nodes partakes in the network tasks, such as data acquisition, processing, and communication. On the other hand, Information Fusion is often used for improving the quality of data being transmitted in these networks. Thus, Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion must deal with the challenge of working with partial views, or incomplete data, to provide accurate results at reduced cost. This special issue will cover a broad range of aspects of Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCNs, including ad hoc and mobile networks, wireless sensor networks, networked pervasive systems. We seek technical papers describing original (previously unpublished in any form or forum) ideas, groundbreaking results, and quantified system experiences. We especially encourage submissions that highlight practical deployments of RCNs, new application domains, and critical surveys of the state-of-the-art. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - In-network query processing and data storage; - Localized signal processing; - Localized estimation, reasoning, and inference; - Localized information fusion for time synchronization; - Localized information fusion for location discovery and location-based services; - Localized information fusion for reliability and fault tolerance; - Localized information fusion for communication protocols at all layers (MAC, scheduling, routing, transport, and application); - Quality-aware resource management using localized information fusion; - Mobility control and coordination; - Optimization techniques for localized information fusion in homogeneous and heterogeneous RCNs; - Localized information fusion for data compression and distributed source coding. Manuscripts must describe original, completed, and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should follow the Information Fusion (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/inffus. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically online at http://ees.elsevier.com/inffus. In the submission process, the authors should clearly indicate that the submission is to be considered for this special issue. Manuscripts must be in single-column format, doublespaced, at least 11 pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including figures, tables, algorithms, and references.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM MONET special issue on "Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks Datum: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:15:09 +0300 Von: Thanos Vasilakos <vasilako(a)ath.forthnet.gr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Dear Thanos ============================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS * ACM MONET special issue on "Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks" * <http://www.bodynets.org/docs/MONET-SI-UBSN-CFP.pdf> http://www.bodynets.org/docs/MONET-SI-UBSN-CFP.pdf ============================================================ Overview Recently, there has been a lot of increasing investigation on a new type of wireless sensor network, which is generally known as body sensor networks (BSNs). Following the continuous advances in wireless communications technologies, there is a growing interest in the design and development of BSNs systems for applications of improving people’s daily life, which leads to an increasing demand on interconnecting BSNs with other emerging wireless technologies, such as RFID technology, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiBree, video surveillance system, WPAN, WLAN, internet, and cellular network. With BSNs being incorporated into these technologies, BSNs become ubiquitous. The marketing opportunities for advanced consumer electronics and services will be expanded extensively. More and more autonomous and intelligent applications which are close to human’s life will be generated. For example, by using body sensors to collect patient information, and by deploying diverse wireless networking systems for enhanced diagnosis assistance and action handling, better E-healthcare management system can be designed for providing more desirable services, which implies huge market yet to be discovered, due to an increasing demand of E-healthcare management system in recent years. In this special issue, we solicit research papers on body sensor hardware, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, biomedical sensor data processing and management. Especially, we are interested in the following communication issues: *Intra-BSN Communication: The terminology of “intra-BSN communication” defines the communication directly relates to the user with the radio coverage of about 2 meters, which consists of two categories: (1) the communication among the body sensors, which are deployed strategically on the human body or planted inside the body, as well as attached within in the human’s clothing; (2) the communication between the body sensors and the portable personal server, which typically can be a cell phone, PDA or headset. *Inter-BSN communication: The terminology of “inter-BSN communication” defines the communication between the personal server and one or multiple access points. The access point can be deployed as a part of infrastructure, or strategically placed in dynamic environment for handling emergency situation. The inter-BSN communication will interconnect BSNs with the wide range networks which are easy to be accessed in daily life. *Beyond-BSN communication: The beyond-BSN communication is used to interconnect BSN with outside world, which enhances the application and coverage range of body sensor system a step further through pervasive communication technology, such as internet and cellular networks. The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects of Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks.
