For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testbeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission Guidelines and Policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings.

Fwd: [Tccc] IEEE ComMag CFP: Synchronization over Ethernet and IP in Next-Generation Networks

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE ComMag CFP: Synchronization over Ethernet and IP in Next-Generation Networks Datum: Mon, 08 Mar 2010 01:34:24 +0800 Von: Xiaoming Fu <fu(a)cs.uni-goettingen.de> An: TCCC List <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: Stefano Bregni <bregni(a)elet.polimi.it> Hi all, Below is a forwarded CFP from a colleague for your attention. Xiaoming ------------------------------------ Dear Colleagues, please find attached the *IEEE Communications Magazine CALL FOR PAPERS **Special Issue on Synchronization over Ethernet and IP in Next-Generation Networks Guest Editors Stefano Bregni, Polytechnic of Milan, Italy Ravi Subrahmanyan, National Semiconductor, USA * Network synchronization plays a central role in digital telecommunications. It determines the quality of most services provided by the network operator. Traditionally, synchronization has been distributed across telecommunications networks using the TDM links for which the networks were designed (i.e. E1 and DS1 circuits). Several fixed and mobile Operators are migrating to a next-generation network (NGN) with IP packet-switched network infrastructure. Ethernet transport is becoming increasingly commonplace. This trend is driven by prospected lower operative costs and by the convergence between fixed and mobile services. However, migrating trunk lines to IP transport poses significant technical challenges, especially for circuit emulation and synchronization of network elements. The evolution of communications networks towards packet-switching has increased interest in the distribution of synchronization using packet methods. This has a twofold impact: 1) synchronization distribution over packet networks using packet-based methods has become a focus of activity in the standards bodies (ITU-T G.8261/2/3 and IEEE 1588); 2) the traditional model, in which synchronization distribution is engineered carefully for optimal performance, may give way to scenarios in which there is a greater expectation of ad-hoc synchronization quality achieved without as much need for provisioning as has traditionally been the case similar to Ethernet plug and play. The latter point widens the scope of interest in synchronization beyond specialists to the wider audience of telecommunications engineers. A striking example is the distribution of synchronization to next-generation wireless base-stations, which are connected to the core network only via packet-switched networks, but still require highly accurate synchronization to meet service quality expectations. *Scope of contributions * The scope of the issue includes, but is not limited to the following topics of interest: - key emerging standards in the area of synchronization over packet networks; - timing scenarios in various network applications; - tutorial papers describing packet network characteristics which impact synchronization transport; - implementation challenges in achieving high-quality synchronization using the new technologies; - carrier and vendor experience in deployment; - measurement techniques for characterizing and qualifying packet-based synchronization. * **Submission Guidelines* Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology communities. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Mathematical equations should not be used (in justified cases up to three simple equations are allowed). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. The number of references is recommended to not exceed 10 (maximum 15).

Please register your paper before March 14, 2010. The 2nd ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale Measurement (HotPlanet) co-located with ACM MobiSys '10, San Francisco, CA, USA June 15, 2010 http://www.hotplanetconf.net/10/ Important dates: Paper registration deadline: March 14, 2010 Submission deadline: March 21, 2010 Authors notification: April 18, 2010 Camera ready: May 7, 2010 Workshop date: June 15, 2010 It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building new mobile, ad hoc, mesh and opportunistic networking systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale data on human mobility, encounter, and social network patterns. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. Following a successful introductory event at ACM MobiSys 2009, this year's workshop will challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces. Our aim is to highlight the issues in collecting data on a planet-wide scale, so that the community can help develop mechanisms to collect, share and analyse such data. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology - Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets - New analyses and applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterisation and modelling - Planet-scale data collection infrastructures - Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection - Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to collect and contribute data on a planet-wide scale - Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection - Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and placed in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates<http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable).

* * * Extended deadline - March 14, 2010 * * * (Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= Fifth Workshop on multiMedia Applications over Wireless Networks (MediaWiN 2010) (http://mediaWiN.it.teithe.gr) June 22nd, 2010 Riccione, Italy organized in association with the 15th IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2010) (http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2010) Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Communications Society Endorsed by the IEEE Technical Committee on Communications Systems Integration and Modeling (CSIM) Contributions to MediaWiN 2010 should address the technical challenges arising from novel networking scenarios. Visionary, early-stage works that are rigorously presented and can steer discussion to new topics are particularly welcome. We are actively encouraging researchers to share their views, research proposals and solutions for multimedia applications over wireless networks. Since the first workshop edition in 2006, the proliferation of wireless access technologies and multimedia applications over IP networks is leading to a growing interest in the convergence between wireless networks and multimedia applications. However, the strict requirements of multimedia applications, the unreliability of wireless media and the cost of wireless resources make this convergence very challenging. MediaWiN 2010 offers the opportunity to leading researchers, industry professionals, and academics around the world to meet, present their work, and discuss the latest advances about multimedia services over wireless technology. All accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2010 Proceedings, will be available on IEEE Xplore, and will be professionally indexed by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Service. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: * Multimedia delivery over heterogeneous networks (3G, 4G, ad hoc, multi-hop wireless, peer-to-peer, and hybrid networks) * Multimedia over Cognitive Radio Networks * Multimedia delivery for Vehicular Networks * Error Resilience and Concealment * Wireless Multimedia Traffic Modeling * Wireless Multimedia Devices and Services * Multimedia Applications and Protocols over Wireless Networks * Experimentation: Testbeds, Field Trials and Empirical Evaluations, Measurement Studies * Emerging Standards, Technologies and Novel Paradigms for Wireless Multimedia Important Dates Submission of research papers due: 14 March 2010 (extended) Notification of paper acceptance: 5 April 2010 Submission of camera-ready papers: 13 April 2010 Workshop date: 22 June 2010 Paper submission Papers should be written in English. Manuscripts should not exceed 6 pages in the IEEE proceedings style, including all figures, tables and references, and must be submitted by 14 March 2010 using EDAS (http://edas.info/N8641). Papers meeting these requirements will be peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers, including a TPC member. Papers must present original and unpublished work and should not be currently under review by any other conference or journal. To submit a paper, please follow the instructions on the workshop Web site.

Call For Papers: International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS)
by Vincenzo De Florio 06 Mar '10

06 Mar '10

Dear Sirs, I would like to bring your attention to the following call for papers. Should you need any clarification or further information I will be glad to oblige. IJARAS also hosts special issues addressing specific topics. Tentative guest editors are also welcome to forward their proposals. Thank you very much. With kind regards, Vincenzo De Florio http://www.pats.ua.ac.be/vincenzo.deflorio ********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* ***SIXTH and SEVENTH ISSUES*** SUBMISSION DUE DATE: March 31 2009 (sixth issue), June 30, 2010 (seventh issue) International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association www.igi-global.com/IJARAS Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio, University of Antwerp/PATS & IBBT, Ph.D. Published: Quarterly (both in Print and Electronic form) International Editorial Review Board Chris Blondia, University of Antwerp / PATS & IBBT, Belgium Gabriella Caporaletti, EICAS automazione, Italy Llorenç Cerdà-Alabern - Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - Spain Marcello Cinque, Mobilab group, University of Naples Domenico Cotroneo, University of Naples, Italy Filip De Turck, Intec group, University of Ghent, Belgium Cristiano Di Flora, Nokia Research Center, Finland Markus Endler, PUC Rio, Brazil Luca Foschini, University of Bologna, Italy Eija Kaasinen, VTT, Finland Konrad Klöckner, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany Gianluca Mazzini, University of Ferrara, Italy Eric Pardede, La Trobe University, Australia Francesca Saglietti, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany Luca Simoncini, University of Pisa, Italy Andrew M Tyrrell, University of York, UK Josef Van Vaerenbergh, Center for Multidisciplinary Approach and Technology, Belgium Yan Zhang, Simula Research Lab, Norway MISSION OF IJARAS: Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and the surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems constantly re-optimizing in view of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). It introduces a problem, which implies a research direction --- a thesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering are regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * Self-* systems. SUBMITTING TO IJARAS: Prospective authors should note that only original and previously unpublished articles will be considered.
