Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation.

Emmanuel Baccelli <emmanuel.baccelli(a)inria.fr> schrieb: (Apologies in advance if you receive multiple copies of this email.) ** 1st ACM International Workshop on Sensor-Enhanced Safety ** ** and Security in Public Spaces (SESP 2012) ** URL: http://sesp.realmv6.org Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA, June 11, 2012, held in conjunction with ACM MobiHoc 2012 Public spaces, such as airports, railway stations, or stadiums bring together large numbers of people on limited space to use a security-sensitive infrastructure. Electronic security systems may help to provide better and faster security and safety for the general public. Application scenarios may include intrusion detection and monitoring of large crowds in order to provide guidance in case of unexpected events (e.g., a mass panic). However, current security systems used within the public infrastructure are typically expensive, not trivial to deploy, difficult to operate and maintain, prone to malfunction due to individual component failures, and generally lack citizen privacy-friendliness. The advent of novel, large-scale distributed security systems based on wireless, lightweight sensors may enhance security and safety in public spaces. SESP 2012 is an international forum for researchers, developers, and practitioners to demonstrate new ideas, techniques, and tools that enable the design of inexpensive, flexible, resilient, and privacy-friendly security systems for enhanced security and safety in public spaces. The workshop welcomes academia, government, industry, and contributing individuals to submit unpublished papers in theoretical and practical aspects of computer, networking and communications security. SESP will provide participants with fresh ideas, inspiring challenges, and novel approaches in the context of wireless sensor-based safety and security in public spaces. Solutions have not been fully analyzed in favor of identifying novel corners in the solution space. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Supporting Networks * Ad hoc networks * Wireless sensor networks & PLC-based sensor networks * Wireless mesh networks * Wireless social networks * Hybrid wired/wireless networks * Ad hoc networks integration in infrastructure networks Middleware Design & Methodologies * Trust in pervasive environments * Tradeoff analysis between performance, security, and privacy * Security standards * Dependability and reliability * Secure routing protocols * Access control * Security in networked sensing and control systems * Global sensing (e.g., smartphones) Applications * Secure location determination * Intrusion detection * Crowd monitoring * Secure group communication * Area surveillance * Early warning systems * Mass panic prevention * Intelligent guidance systems ---------------------- ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE ---------------------- Workshop Co-Chairs - Emmanuel Baccelli, INRIA & Éole Polytechnique, France - Thomas C.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] [IEEE AOC 2012] Call for Papers (2nd call) Datum: Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:55:32 +0100 Von: Fabio Pezzoni <fabio.pezzoni(a)IIT.CNR.IT> Antwort an: Fabio Pezzoni <fabio.pezzoni(a)IIT.CNR.IT> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS Sixth IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications (AOC 2012) June 25, 2012 - San Francisco, California, USA http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2012/ jointly supported by the SCAMPI project funded by the FP7-ICT Programme under the Future Internet Research and Experimentation (FIRE) initiative http://www.ict-scampi.eu/ and RECOGNITION project funded by the FP7-ICT Programme under the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) initiative http://www.recognition-project.eu/ Fast Track on Computer Communication Journal http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom **** Submission Deadline --- February 17, 2012 **** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The diffusion of lightweight, powerful portable devices, also enriched with a variety of sensing capabilities, is enabling new ways for users' communication, and laying the foundation for realizing the ubiquitous networking idea. Acting either as the main communication mode or as complement to existing mobile network infrastructures, opportunistic networking can leverage the mobility of end users and enhance their communication capabilities. The opportunistic exploitation of extemporary contacts among the users of the network paves the way to a number of applications but also poses new and challenging problems to the networking research community. The AOC 2012 workshop aims at serving as a meeting point for people working in the area and a forum for exchanging ideas, discussing solutions, and sharing experiences among researchers, professionals, and application developers, both from industry and academia. As with the previous five editions of the AOC workshop series, the scope of this year's workshop will remain on general issues related to opportunistic networking and computing. Yet, AOC 2012 will have a primary interest in new directions of opportunistic communications, such as service composition techniques, scenarios of co-existence with infrastructure networks, and insights to their operation coming from other disciplines such as game theory and cognitive psychology. The workshop will solicit original papers addressing theoretical and practical aspects of autonomic and opportunistic communications but also papers describing prototype implementations and deployments. Topics of interest for AOC 2012 include, but are not limited to: * Routing, transport, and reliability issues * Techniques for data dissemination and replication * Applications and middleware support, mobile social networking applications * Mobility models and statistical analysis of mobility traces * Context and social awareness mechanisms and algorithms * Co-existence of opportunistic networks with infrastructure mobile wireless networks * Service composition in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Cognition-driven information processing and decision making * Performance modelling, scaling laws, and fundamental limits for autonomic and opportunistic communications * Game-theoretic insights to the operation of autonomic and opportunistic networks * Participatory and urban sensing in autonomic and opportunistic networks * Trust, security, and reputation * Autonomic and opportunistic communication testbeds and prototypes, measurement data from real experiments * Socio-economic models for autonomic and opportunistic communications PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor being currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited to 6 pages, single spacing, double column, and must strictly adhere to the template format. Guidelines on paper submission and formatting are available at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/aoc2012/. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register and present his/her work at the workshop. There will be no separate registration for workshop, but one single registration will cover both conference and workshops participation. Extended versions of workshop selected papers will be considered for possible fast track publication on the Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier). IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Full papers due: February 17, 2012 Notification: April 4, 2012 Workshop: June 25, 2012 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE -------------------- WORKSHOP Chairs Merkouris Karaliopoulos, University of Athens, Greece Chiara Boldrini, IIT-CNR, Italy STEERING Committee Marco Conti, IIT-CNR, Italy Silvia Giordano, SUPSI, Switzerland Ioannis Stavrakakis, University of Athens, Greece PUBLICITY Chairs Fabio Pezzoni, IIT-CNR, Italy Pushpendra Singh, IIIT Delhi, India PROGRAM COMMITTEE (confirmed so far) ------------------------------------ Gergely Acs, BUTE, Hungary Eleonora Borgia, IIT-CNR, Italy Vania Conan, Thales, France Serge Fdida, UPMC, Paris VI, France Laura Galluccio, University of Catania, Italy Nidhi Hegde, Technicolor, France Tristan Henderson, University of St. Andrews, UK Gunnar Karlsson, KTH, Sweden Mohan Kumar, University of Texas at Arlington, USA Kyunghan Lee, North Carolina State University, USA Franck Legendre, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Daniele Miorandi, Create-net, Italy Refik Molva, Eurecom, France Valtteri Niemi, Nokia, Switzerland Katia Obraczka, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA Konstantinos Oikonomou, Ionian University, Greece Joerg Ott, HUT, Finland Elena Pagani, Universita' degli Studi di Milano, Italy Andrea Passarella, IIT-CNR, Italy Daniele Puccinelli, SUPSI, Switzerland Christian Rohner, Uppsala University, Sweden Fabrizio Sestini, EU Commission Abdullatif Shikfa, Alcatel Lucent Bell Labs, France Thrasyvoulos Spyropoulos, EURECOM, France Roger Whitaker, Cardiff University, UK Hongyi Wu, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, USA Eiko Yoneki, University of Cambridge, UK Franco Zambonelli, University of Modena-Reggio, Italy ==================================================== Fabio Pezzoni - AOC2012 Publicity Chair Institute for Informatics and Telematics (IIT) Italian National Research Council (CNR) Via G.
