05 May '09

Apologies if duplicated __________________________________________________________________________________ SENSEAPP 2009 FOURTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS (in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2009) Zurich, Switzerland 20 - 23 October 2009 Web: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp CALL FOR PAPERS Sensor nodes are tiny autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. 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.

The scalability concept involves several dimensions, like the node number, the data load, the user/application number, etc, and it is the basis to break up the cellular concept enriching it by multi-hop communications. Nevertheless, many aspects of scalable wireless communications are still open problems and, furthermore, some of the scalable solutions for wireless networks proposed so far are based on ideal assumptions not always justified in the practical applications. The aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the- art research contributions that address the major opportunities and challenges of scalable wireless communication and networking, with emphasis on the design, the analysis and the evaluation of new techniques and novel application scenarios. Topics of Interest: ------------------------------ Original, unpublished contributions addressing application and architectures, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to scalable wireless networks are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - congestion, scheduling and admission control - MAC and data link algorithms - routing, broadcasting and multicasting protocols - transport-layer protocols - data transportation, dissemination, aggregation, replication and management - resource allocation, discovery and management - context and location-aware services - power-aware architectures, algorithms and protocols design - security and privacy - Quality of Service (QoS) and fairness provisioning - cross-layer design and optimization - information theoretic aspects of large scale wireless networks - innovative modulation and coding techniques - wireless sensor networks - mobile, mesh and vehicular ad hoc networks - opportunism and cooperation for scalable communications - scalable peer-to-peer and delay-tolerant networks - modeling and simulation methodologies for large scale wireless networks - practical issues, prototypes and test beds design to investigate scalability - challenges arising from new technologies (UWB, MIMO, beam forming, Cognitive Radio, etc.) Important dates: ------------------------------ Paper submission due: October 1, 2009 Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2010 Camera-ready version due: March 1, 2010 Submissions: ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit full papers describing original research, unpublished and not currently under review by another conference or journal. Papers previously appeared in proceedings of conferences could be submitted to this special issue if they are substantially revised or improved from their earlier versions with at least 30% of new materials.

30 Apr '09

Title/Abstract registration deadline on Friday! MMNS 2009: 12th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services ========================================================= http://www.manweek.org/2009/mmns (part of MANWEEK 2009, October 26-30) Telecom Italia Future Centre, Venice, Italy IMPORTANT DATES: Paper Registration Deadline: May 1, 2009 Paper Submission Deadline: May 8, 2009 PDF: http://www.manweek.org/2009/download/cfp/mmns09-cfp.pdf CALL FOR PAPERS The 12th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS) will be held in October 26 - 30, 2009 at the fascinating Telecom Italia Future Centre, in the worldwide known and magnificent Venice, Italy, as part of the 5th International Week on the Management of Networks and Services (Manweek 2009). The MMNS 2009 conference will provide participants with a high quality and intimate setting for discussion and debate. The conference is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, with technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society and specifically the Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). SCOPE OF MMNS 2009 Since 1997, MMNS has established itself as a major conference for research and innovation in the management of multimedia technology and networked services. The scope of the conference has been expanded in recent years to include management of emerging mobile and wireless networks and their integration with more traditional network infrastructures. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists from academia and industry interested in state-of-the-art management of converged multimedia networks and services across heterogeneous networking infrastructures, while creating a public venue for result dissemination and intellectual collaboration. The convergence of existing and emerging technologies such as broadband, mobile, and broadcast networks is considered as a promising opportunity for existing providers to increase their service subscriber base, so that the 4G vision and beyond becomes a reality. An important research effort is undertaken by main actors to face the multidimensional, in terms of transport technology, session signaling, and QoS provisioning, heterogeneity of Next Generation Networks (NGNs). The efficient management of wireless and wired technologies side-by-side and of the number of multimedia services provisioned over these integrated networks is a key ingredient in the effort to provide cost effective, innovative, and mass-market solutions that are likely to become a major source of income for different stakeholders. The need to evolve management tools, solutions, platforms and methodologies to keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical juncture with the proliferation of mobile and wireless systems, intelligent and broadband networks, quadruple play convergence, and the integration of embedded systems in different domains, from smart homes/cities to next generation automotive systems. The academic and industry research communities should unify forces to address the challenges of developing and operating converged multimedia networks and services. Inevitably, integrated management is a key element in addressing this challenge. The MMNS 2009 technical program committee is soliciting research papers in the broad area of network and service management that address new models, architectures, and technological designs to enable multimedia and mobility proliferation in NGNs. MMNS 2009 intends to continue the success of the outstanding agendas of the past, and will emphasize and solicit novel research in the management of wired-wireless multimedia networks and services. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Management of multimedia streaming and real-time service delivery Management of wireless ad-hoc/mesh networks Management of NGN/4G networks and services Management of Service Oriented Architectures Management of sensor networks for enhanced multimedia provisioning Middleware for the management of mobile multimedia services Middleware support for seamless mobility of multimedia services Multi-service/multiple-play over IP (voice, video, data and mobility over IP) network management Grid networking for multimedia Cross-layer multimedia management Multimedia in peer-to-peer networks Quality of service management in multimedia and mobile networks Planning and optimization of multimedia and mobile networks IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) operations and management Management of service delivery platforms Management of content distribution networking Distributed multimedia service management Performance evaluation of multimedia and mobile services Wireless/mobile multimedia broadcast/multicast technologies Novel protocols for multimedia services Multi-point and multicast service management Pricing, accounting, and billing for multimedia services Management of trust and security for mobile and multimedia networks and services Self-* properties of multimedia and mobile networks and services Network virtualization for network management and service provisioning Remote over-the-air manageability in mobile networks End-to-end management for multimedia transmission in mobile/wireless networks Mobile platform architecture optimizations for management services Network manageability across heterogeneous wireless networks Novel network architectures for mobile network management services PAPER SUBMISSION Paper submissions must present original and unpublished research work or experiences.
