-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Last CFPs, JCTA SI on "Wireless Sensor Networks: from Theory to Practice" Datum: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 02:41:15 +0800 Von: Xiao Wendong <wxiao(a)i2r.a-star.edu.sg> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Journal of Control Theory and Applications (Springer) (http://www.jcta.ac.cn/cta_en/ch/common_item.aspx?parent_id=7&menu_id=200912… <http://www.jcta.ac.cn/cta_en/ch/common_item.aspx?parent_id=7&menu_id=200912…> ) Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks: from Theory to Practice Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is characterized by the dense deployment of sensor nodes that continuously observe physical phenomenon. The main advantages of WSN include its low cost, rapid deployment, self-organization, and fault tolerance. WSN has received tremendous interests of various research communities, and significant progresses have been made in various aspects including sensor platform development, wireless communication and networking, application signal and information processing, as well as network performance evaluation and design. Such work has established good foundation for WSN research and development. The research and development of WSNs are stimulated by novel exciting applications. For example, WSNs, particularly the wireless body sensor network, make the old people/patient healthcare monitoring possible in smart home environment, where advanced signal processing algorithms are required to extract medical parameters like heart beat rate from raw sensor measurements such as ECG signal, estimation algorithms are required for occupant location and motion tracking, and machine learning algorithms are required for occupant activity recognition. The indoor environment (e.g., temperature and humidity) can be monitored by ambient wireless sensor network, and help design highly efficient distributed air-conditioning control system to improve the energy efficiency and enhance occupant comfort. Such WSN applications must address a number of key technological challenges induced by limited network resources such as node energy and network bandwidth. As a result, the application algorithms should be resource constrained and the network protocols should be application-driven. Advanced closed-loop system can be expected as an integrated system solution to link the application algorithms and the lower layer networking protocols by means of control theoretic or optimization approaches. To be scalable and reliable, such algorithms and protocols should also be distributed in nature via node local processing and collaboration with limited information exchange to achieve complex overall network goal. This special issue is a follow-up of the previous special issue on Networked Sensing, Decision Making and Control in Journal of Control Theory and Applications organized by Lihua Xie and Frank L. Lewis, which received warm responses. Different from that special issue, which mainly addresses the theoretic approaches for WSNs and networked control systems challenged by network uncertainties and limited resources, this special issue will be more focused on novel real WSN applications and application-driven research and development. Papers with real practices on platform development, network deployment, and system operational lessons or experience are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · WSN theoretic approaches: - Distributed and collaborative signal processing - Target detection, classification, and tracking - Network modeling and optimization - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Coverage and topology control - Adaptive and mobile sampling - Consensus estimation and cooperation · WSN applications: - Healthcare monitoring - Environment monitoring - Surveillance system - Networked manufacturing system - Structural health monitoring; - Cognitive sensing and spectrum management - Military and battlefield applications All the submissions will be subject to peer review in accordance with the standard review procedures of the Journal of Control Theory and Applications.

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. SUBMISSION: FULL PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM VANET 2010 (new deadline Apr 23) Datum: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 14:25:04 -0700 (PDT) Von: Fan Bai <fan_bai(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu My apologies if you have received multiple copies! 　 ======================== ACM VANET 2010 Vehicle to Vehicle -- Vehicle to Roadside -- Vehicle to Internet The Seventh ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2010 Date: September 24, 2010 Chicago, IL, USA Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE http://winlab.rutgers.edu/~fanbai/vanet2010/ 　 Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: April 23, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: June 25, 2010 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 15, 2010 The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of vehicular inter-networking (VANET) technologies. Apart from new and original technical research results, this year we welcome papers on organizational and economic models. Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter- networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision avoidance and safety warnings), efficiency applications (e.g.real-time traffic congestion and routing information) and other commercial or public authority applications (high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include research programs like the ones on cooperative systems within the eSafety framework of the European Union, the Intellidrive initiative in the US, Smartway, DSSS (Driving Safety Support System) and ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) in Japan, simTD in Germany and SCOREF in France. Standardization is well under way with the activities worldwide in ISO TC204 and IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x), SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research results, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design - Safety, efficiency and commercial applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Test methodologies - Impact assessment - Network management - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Organisational and economic models 　 Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages, use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. We also encourage the submission of position papers with a maximum length of 6 pages (following the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates above). Position papers will generally include preliminary results and are expected to describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. Position papers can be a good way to obtain early feedback before submitting complete work to highly selective venues such as ACM MobiCom. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2010 web page at: http://winlab.rutgers.edu/~fanbai/vanet2010/. 　 Organizing Committee General Co-Chairs: Timo Kosch, BMW, Germany Andre Weimerskirch, escrypt Inc., USA Technical Program Co-Chairs: Marc Torrent-Moreno, Barcelona Digital Centre Tecnològic, Spain Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University, USA Publicity Chair: Fan Bai, General Motors Research, USA 　 Technical Program Committee Fan Bai, General Motors Research, USA Eylem Ekici, Ohio State University, USA Tamer ElBatt, Nile University, Egypt Andreas Festag, NEC Europe Ltd, Germany Hannes Hartenstein, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Daniel Jiang, Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America,Inc., USA Frank Kargl, University of Twente, The Netherlands Timo Kosch, BMW, Germany P.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special Issue on Wireless Communication in Challenged Environments Datum: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 00:44:05 -0500 Von: M. Can Vuran <mcvuran(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies in advance, if you receive multiple copies] ========================================= Ad Hoc Networks Journal (Elsevier) Special Issue on WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN CHALLENGED ENVIRONMENTS ========================================= Guest Editors: Mehmet Can VURAN, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Wendi HEINZELMAN, University of Rochester, USA Jun-Hong CUI, University of Connecticut, USA Gilles Y. DELISLE, Technology Integration Center, Canada Martine LIENARD, University of Lille, France Cedric WESTPHAL, DoCoMo Labs, USA ************* Paper submission deadline: July 9, 2010 ************** The recent advances in wireless communications and networking have motivated the use of these technologies in environments where no computer has gone before. More specifically, the ubiquitous data gathering, computation, and communication capabilities of tiny sensors motes, microprocessors, and mobile communication devices have recently been exploited in places such as underground mines, tunnels, and soil; underwater environments such as oceans and rivers; the outer space; and locations affected by natural disasters. Wireless communication in these challenged environments is characterized by the direct impact of the physical world environment on the communication and networking performance. Accordingly, the traditional definitions of communication channel, connectivity, network topology, packet route, or message delivery may no longer hold true. To provide the required guarantees for applications in these environments, a fundamental understanding of the environmental impacts on communication as well as the physical layer affects on higher layer protocols is required. Moreover, cross- layer solutions that address the challenges in these environments by incorporating the interactions between the environment and communication performance are beneficial. Consequently, environment- aware solutions that adapt to the changes in their environment can be realized. This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in communication and networking in challenged environments. Papers describing applications, protocols, analysis models, evaluation methods, and experimental studies are solicited. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Network architectures - Analysis models - Channel models - Resiliency, reliability, and robustness - Communication protocols (transport, routing, MAC, error control, security) - Cross-layer design and optimization - Localization solutions - Deployment scenarios and experiences in Challenged Environments including: - Underground (Mines, tunnels, and soil) - Underwater - Space - Disaster areas - Urban areas About the Ad Hoc Networks ----------------------------------- The Ad Hoc Networks is an international and archival journal providing a publication vehicle for complete coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in ad hoc and sensor networking areas. The Ad Hoc Networks considers original, high quality and unpublished contributions addressing all aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory has changed its Aims and Scopes Datum: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 13:47:52 -0000 Von: Elsevier Mathematics <mathematics(a)mail.elsevier-alerts.com> Antwort an: <mathematics(a)mail.elsevier-alerts.com> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de <wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> To display this email in a browser, please click here: http://mail.elsevier-alerts.com/go.asp?/bESJ001/qLKB6R1F/xAH2OR1F Dear Dr Wolf, Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory has recently changed its Aims and Scope. The new, updated Aims and Scope are: The journal Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory provides a forum for original, high quality papers dealing with any aspect of systems simulation and modelling. The journal aims at being a reference and a powerful tool to all those professionally active and/or interested in the methods and applications of simulation. Submitted papers will be peer reviewed and must significantly contribute to modelling and simulation in general or use modelling and simulation in application areas. Paper submission is solicited on: • theoretical aspects of modelling and simulation including formal modelling, model-checking, random number generators, sensitivity analysis, variance reduction techniques, experimental design, meta-modelling, methods and algorithms for validation and verification, selection and comparison procedures etc.; • methodology and application of modelling and simulation in any area, including computer systems, networks, real-time and embedded systems, mobile and intelligent agents, manufacturing and transportation systems, management, engineering, biomedical engineering, economics, ecology and environment, education, transaction handling, etc.; • simulation languages and environments including those, specific to distributed computing, grid computing, high performance computers or computer networks, etc.; • distributed and real-time simulation, simulation interoperability; • tools for high performance computing simulation, including dedicated architectures and parallel computing. Papers covering applications should be presented in such a way that the separate steps in the process, such as model development, computer implementation of the derived model, mathematical and scalability problems encountered and validation/verification with real data become transparent to all readers. Theory may play an important role in a paper, but it should be presented in the context of its applicability to the work being described. For application-oriented readers it is essential that theoretical papers should cover the following aspects: why the theory is relevant and how it can be applied, what is the novelty of the approach and what are the benefits and objectives of a new theory, method or algorithm; what experience has been obtained in applying the approach and what innovations did result. (Variations from these prototypes, such as comprehensive surveys of active research areas, critical reviews of existing work, and book reviews, will be considered provided they make a clear contribution to the field). Special issues on specific topics will be published from time to time; proposals for such issues are invited. All manuscripts should still be submitted via the journal's editorial handling system http://ees.elsevier.com/simpat.

Fwd: Call for papers: Informatik für die Energiesysteme der Zukunft
by Lars Wolf 23 Mar '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for papers: Informatik für die Energiesysteme der Zukunft Datum: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 09:17:13 +0100 (CET) Von: gi-mitglieder-info(a)gi-ev.de An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Workshop: Informatik für die Energiesysteme der Zukunft 40. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik – Leipzig 2010 27.09. – 01.10.2010 Call for Papers **************************************************************************** ******* Motivation Eine sichere Energieversorgung ist die Grundlage für eine moderne Gesellschaft, in der alle wichtigen Bereiche, wie Gesundheits- und Transportwesen, Wirtschaft und Kommunikation, von energietechnischen Vorgängen abhängig sind. Die bisherige Grundlage für die Energieversorgung bildeten fossile Energieträger, die in Großkraftwerken in Nutzenergie umgewandelt und über zentral organisierte Netze verteilt wurden. Die Notwendigkeit, schädliche Emissionen zu vermeiden und die Grundlage für eine nachhaltige Energieversorgung ohne Abhängigkeit von begrenzten Rohstoffen zu schaffen, führt bereits heute zu einem starken Wachstum des Anteils erneuerbarer Energieträger und von hocheffizienten, dezentralen Erzeugungsanlagen (z.B. zur Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung). Es wird erwartet, dass die künftige Energieversorgung durch eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Erzeugungstechnologien getragen wird und eine umfassendere Steuerung der Netze notwendig wird, die die Verbrauchsseite mit einschließt (Smart Grids). Durch die Liberalisierung der Energiemärkte drängen neue Anbieter in den Markt. Neben Industrieunternehmen können nun auch andere Unternehmen, Gewerbebetriebe, Wohnanlagen sowie private Haushalte selbst zu Energieerzeugern werden. Neben der Deckung des eigenen Bedarfs sind sie in der Lage, Strom und Wärme an andere Abnehmer zu liefern. Die traditionelle Marktstruktur mit wenigen Großerzeugern wird aufgebrochen und durch eine Vielzahl von Beziehungen zwischen Lieferanten, Händlern, Abnehmern und anderen Marktrollen ersetzt. Dadurch ändern sich die Geschäftsprozesse und die Kommunikation der Marktteilnehmer untereinander, was durch entsprechende IT-Infrastrukturen und Systemen unterstützt werden muss. Ziele Aus technischer Sicht stellt der zunehmende Anteil erneuerbarer Energien und dezentraler Anlagen die Infrastruktur vor neue Herausforderungen. So müssen die natürlichen Fluktuationen, die durch Wind- und Solarstrom verursacht werden, nicht nur mit konventionellen Kraftwerken ausgeglichen werden, sondern ebenso durch Anpassungen auf der Verbrauchsseite. Dabei soll sichergestellt werden, dass der Konsument keine Komforteinbußen erleidet. Technologien wie elektronische Zähler (Smart Metering), Gebäudeautomatisierung und Web-gestützte Anwendungen können helfen, diese Ziele zu erreichen. Die Integration von Elektrofahrzeugen bietet weitere Möglichkeiten, durch eine Steuerung der Ladevorgänge inklusive Rückspeisung die Auswirkungen der fluktuierenden Einspeisung zu kompensieren. Für diesen Workshop werden Beiträge gesucht, die den Beitrag der Informatik zu einer sicheren, nachhaltigen und wirtschaftlichen Energieversorgung beleuchten. Dazu sind Arbeiten erwünscht, die insbesondere aber nicht ausschließlich folgende Themenbereiche abdecken: - Energiemanagementsysteme und intelligentes Lastmanagement - Koordinationsmechanismen für dezentrale Infrastrukturen - Simulation von Infrastrukturen, energietechnischen Anlagen, Elektrofahrzeugen und Koordinationsmechanismen, z. B. Belastung in Transport- und Verteilnetzen, Berechnung virtueller Kraftwerke, Lastgangsimulationen bei hohem Durchdringungsgrad an elektrisch betriebenen Fahrzeugen - Neue Verfahren zur Prognostizierung von Erzeugung und Verbrauch (z. B. durch Anwendung von Fuzzy Logic) - Modellierung und Durchführung von kollaborativen Geschäftsprozessen unter Einhaltung rechtlicher Anforderungen - Neuartige (Web-basierte) Informationssysteme, (mobile) Anwendungen und Dienste auf Basis von Smart Metering und Kommunikationskanälen zwischen Lieferanten, Netz, Messdienstleister und Verbrauchern - Kommunikation und Anwendungen für Elektrofahrzeuge, z. B. auf Basis von Car-2-car/Car-2-X-Kommunikation - Sicherheit und Datenschutz für die Kommunikation zwischen Marktteilnehmern und für die Steuerung von energietechnischen Anlagen - Software-Engineering für hardwarenahe Systeme in der Energie-Infrastruktur - Technologien und Methoden für die Koordination (dezentraler) energietechnischer Anlagen (z. B. agentenbasierte Systeme mit dem Ziel der Energieeffizienzsteigerung) - Einsatz von Kommunikationsstandards und Informationsmodellen für Smart-Grid-Infrastrukturen (bspw. im Umfeld von Energie-Marktplätzen oder der Steuerung von Anlagen im Feld) Termine Einreichung von Beiträgen: 25.04.2010 Mitteilung über Annahme/Ablehnung: 24.05.2010 Abgabe der fertigen Druckvorlagen: 03.07.2010 Veranstaltung des Workshops: 28.09.2010 Einreichung von Beiträgen Bitte reichen Sie Ihren Beitrag über das Konferenzsystem ConfISS [http://139.18.8.225:8080/ConfISS/] ein.
