Fwd: CfP: Fourth International Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: Fourth International Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications Datum: Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:21:30 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Antwort an: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** Fourth International Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications In conjunction with ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) May 18-26, 2013, San Francisco (USA) http://www.sesena.info <http://www.sesena.info/> * Background * By acting as the interface between digital and physical worlds, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) represent a fundamental building block of the upcoming Internet of Things and a key enabler for Cyber-Physical and Pervasive Computing Systems. Despite the interest raised by this decade-old research topic, the development of WSN software is still carried out in a rather primitive fashion, by building software directly atop the operating system and by relying on an individual’s hard-earned programming skills. WSN developers must face not only the functional application requirements but also a number of challenging, non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce resources. The heterogeneity of network nodes, the unpredictable environmental influences, and the large size of the network further add to the difficulties. In the WSN community, there is a growing awareness of the need for methodologies, techniques, and abstractions that simplify development tasks and increase the confidence in the correctness and performance of the resulting software. Software engineering (SE) support is therefore sought, not only to ease the development task but also to make it more reliable, dependable, and repeatable. Nevertheless, this topic has received so far very little attention by the SE community. SESENA13 aims to attract researchers belonging to both the SE and WSN communities, not only to exchange recent research results on the topic, but also to stimulate discussion about the core open problems and to define a shared research agenda. The workshop welcomes both research contributions and position statements. The former will foster in-depth technical discussions of novel results with an audience composed of both SE and WSN researchers. The latter will provide the opportunity for presenting open problems, provocative views, or previously unexplored ideas in an informal fashion. To foster discussion, SESENA13 will also host a special “speakers’ corner” session composed of impromptu presentations where attendees (including those without accepted papers) will have the opportunity to present their own views in very short segments (e.g., 2-4 minutes). * Topics of Interest * The workshop focuses on software engineering issues arising in networked (embedded) sensing systems and their possible integration in Internet of Things scenarios. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * environment and context modeling; * development methodologies; * (macro-)programming languages and compilers; * testing, debugging, and validation; * non-functional modeling and analysis; * security and trust; * formal verification and model-checking; * model-driven approaches; * middleware systems; * interfacing WSNs and business services; * integration of WSNs in IoT applications. * Submissions * Prospective participants are invited to submit research or position papers containing original unpublished material describing ongoing work and new ideas, mature research results, or experience reports. Submissions must conform to the ICSE submission format and rules. Research papers may not exceed 6 pages, position papers must be limited to 2 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically through EasyChair. The program committee will review all submissions for quality, relevance, and their potential to trigger discussions at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the ICSE companion proceedings and on the workshop web site. * Important Dates * Paper submission : February 7, 2013 Author notification : February 28, 2013 Camera Ready Version : March 7, 2013 Workshop : May 21, 2013 * Workshop Organizers * * Christine Julien, University of Texas at Austin, USA (Program Chair) * Klaus Wehrle, RWTH Aachen University, Germany (Program Chair) * Vittorio Cortellessa, University of L’Aquila, Italy * Kurt Geihs, University of Kassel, Germany * Luca Mottola, Politecnico di Milano, Italy * Amy L.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: ComCom Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ComCom Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking Datum: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 09:24:01 +0100 Von: Valerio Arnaboldi<valerio.arnaboldi(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu *** Our Sincere Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message *** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Elsevier - Computer Communications Journal Special Issue on Opportunistic Networking Submission Deadline: February 10, 2013 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The widespread availability of mobile portable devices enriched with a variety of sensing capabilities, coupled with the impelling need of communication anytime and anywhere, has rapidly raised the interest towards new approaches to communications between users. Opportunistic networks are an instance of the delay tolerant paradigm applied to networks made up of users' portable devices (such as smartphones and tablets). As such, they are able to cope with challenged network conditions that are often present in real life, such as high node mobility, variable connectivity, and disconnections, which would impair communications in traditional Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. In this scenario, user mobility becomes one of the main drivers to enable message delivery. In fact, according to the store-carry-and-forward paradigm, user devices store messages and carry them around while they move in the network, exchanging them upon encounter with other nodes, and eventually delivering them to the ir destination or to interested users. This new communication paradigm enables legacy applications in challenged scenarios, as well as it paves the way to innovative solutions. While opportunistic networks initially received attention to support communication where an infrastructure is not available (for disaster recovery or in rural areas), nowadays a number of applications can be envisaged ranging from content sharing, through mobile social networking, to participatory and urban sensing. All these applications rely on data forwarding amongst devices. As a consequence, two aspects become relevant, that is, the need for mechanisms guaranteeing trusted and secure communications while preserving users' privacy (in the absence of infrastructure and sometimes even end-to-end connectivity), and incentive mechanisms able to boost the participation in the network. This Special Issue of Computer Communications seeks contributions pushing the state of the art in Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: - Mobility measurements and models, mobility trace analysis - Measurements, models, and analysis for user behaviors on mobile devices - Unicast and multicast routing - Transport, congestion control, and reliability issues - Content dissemination, content caching, service composition, opportunistic computing - Trust, security & privacy in opportunistic forwarding, incentive mechanisms, reputation systems, and key management - Application support and middleware for opportunistic networks - New applications and services relying on opportunistic networking - Systems and experience for real-world deployments Schedule -------- Submission deadline: February 10, 2013 Author notification: May 24, 2013 Revised paper due: June 30, 2013 Final author notification: September 16, 2013 Publication: TBD Guest Editors ------------- Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy Kyunghan Lee, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Korea Melek Onen, EURECOM, France Joerg Ott, Aalto University, Finland Elena Pagani, Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Italy Instructions for submission --------------------------- Manuscripts must not have been previously published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. If the paper was published in a conference, the submitted manuscript should be a substantial extension of the conference paper. In this case, authors are also required to submit their published conference articles and a summary document explaining the enhancements made in the journal version. Papers must be submitted through the Computer Communications website at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom, where guidelines for manuscript preparation can also be found. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration by the Special Issue, the authors should select "Special Issue: Opp-Net" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.

Abstract registration Jan 04, 2013 Submission Deadline Jan 11, 2013 Scope of the Workshop: The scope of the CoCoNet4 workshop is to bring together a highly qualified group of people with interest in cooperative and cognitive wireless networks. Cooperation is becoming a major subject in research in the wireless communication community as it has been identified as one of the underlying principles for future wireless communication systems. Cooperation, altruistic or non-altruistic, is the basis to break up the cellular concept and enrich it by multi hop, peer-to-peer, or grid functionalities. The workshop will highlight the newest trends in this emerging area, complementing it with first practical implementationsand demonstrations in this field. New technologies and concepts such as network coding and mobile clouds are the driving forces for cooperative and cognitive networks. Besides the technical insights, the workshop will encourage the participants to discuss among each other. The workshop is seeking papers for oral presentations and papers which will be presented in poster sessions possibly accompanied with demonstrations or test-beds. Keynote Speech: We are pleased to announce that Professor Gerhard Fettweis from TU Dresden, Germany will give the keynote at the CoCoNet 5 workshop. Topics of interest are (but not limited to): - Architectures of Cooperative Mobile Networks (CMN) - Cooperative Services - Novel Cooperative Services and Applications - Cooperative Service Discovery - Network Coding - Self Organizing Peer to Peer Networks - Cognitive Principles - Green Mobile Communications - Context-aware Cloud Management - Business Models for Cooperative Networking - Spectrum management policy and strategy for cognitive networks - Social Mobile Networks - Software Defined Radio - Peer-to-Peer Technologies - Cross-layer optimization - Security in Cooperative Wireless Networks; - Mobile Cooperative Applications - Sensor Networks - Wireless Grids - Mobile Clouds - Practical implementations, test-beds and demonstrations. Submission Guidelines: IEEE CoCoNet Workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers in the area of Cognitive and Cooperative Wireless Networks. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit a 5-page IEEE conference style paper (including all text, figures, and references) through EDAS submission system (http://www.edas.info ). (If you have any problems during submission, please contact: ff(a)es.aau.dk). Acceptedpapers must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors. The presenter must register for the workshop before the deadline given for authorregistration. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop proceedings and the program. Furthermore we encourage to submit full paper description of potential demonstration in the area of CoCoNet to be presented at the event. Those papers will be presented together with the demonstrator itself in a poster session. All papers (oral session and demonstrations) selected for publication will be published together with IEEE ICC 2013 proceedings and available on IEEE Xplore database. -- Professor Dr.-Ing. Frank H.P.
