---------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st International Conference on Sensor Networks Applications, Experimentation and Logistics www.sensappeal.org *September 24-25, 2009, Athens, Greece* Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are envisioned to enable a variety of applications including environmental monitoring, building and plant automation, homeland security and healthcare. It has been argued that one of the key characteristics of sensor networks is that they are so tightly coupled with the applications running on top of them. Although WSNs have been an active area of research for over a decade, real world sensor network deployments have not yet found their way to widespread adoption. The experience gained and lessons learned during the initial attempts to deploy WSNs and implement various sensor network applications are very valuable for the advancement of this technology. The 1st ICST International Conference on Sensor Networks Applications, Experimentation and Logistics (SENSAPPEAL 2009) aims at bringing together researchers and developers from academia and industry to present their work and share their experiences with developing, deploying and testing WSN applications. Moreover key enablers to WSN application development (such as OS, middleware, in-field reprogramming, testbeds and simulators, etc.) fall within the scope of the conference. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 20 camera-ready pages in the Springer "Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (LNICST)" format. We also welcome submissions for demonstrations of pilot, experimental or real-life deployments, testbeds, simulators and applications of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Sensor network applications: * Environmental Monitoring * - wildfire detection and tracking * - landslide prediction * - pollution monitoring * - habitat monitoring * - seismic monitoring * Physical security and surveillance * Health care and assisted living * Building and plant automation * Disaster area or area of operations information gathering * Other novel applications Application enablers: * APIs, programming paradigms and in-field reprogramming techniques (OS, middleware, mobile agents, sensor DBs, in network processing) * Testbeds and simulators * Cognitive and autonomous operation of sensor networks * Localization and tracking * Efficient networking protocols * Network and data security * Sensing devices Important Dates: Paper Registration (title and abstract only): March 11th,2009 (EXTENDED) Paper Submission Deadline: March 27th, 2009 (EXTENDED) Notification of Acceptance: May 31st, 2009 Author Registration Deadline: July 15th, 2009 Camera Ready Copy Due: July 20th, 2009 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Dear Colleagues, Due to many requests, the deadline for abstract submission to RAWNET/WCN3 2009 has been extended to March 15, 2009. For more information please visit: http://www.rawnet.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- RAWNET/WNC3 2009 The 5th workshop on Resource Allocation, Cooperation and Competition in Wireless Networks in conjunction with WiOpt'09 the 7th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks June 27, 2009, Seoul, Korea http://www.rawnet.org Full Papers due: March 15, 2009 (updated deadline) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Future telecommunications networks are expected to provide very high data rates, seamless connections, at higher and often heterogeneous quality-of-service levels, in scenarios with ever increasing mobility. In order to meet these requirements, new generation wireless networks go beyond the classical paradigms of cellular networks and are based on complex interactions. In this scenario, efficient allocation of the available resources and/or cooperation, and/or competition play a strategic fundamental role to increase and optimize communication performance of individual nodes or of the global network, and efficiently exploit the available frequency spectrum eventually admitting unlicensed users. This fueled a vibrant flurry of studies in cooperative communications, spectrum management (cognitive radio), and resource allocation. The investigations involve researchers and technicians from the physical, to the networking layers and above and eventually promote joint design within different layers (cross-layer design). Analysis and design of the complex interactions in future communications networks requires contributions from a variety of disciplines, which span from information theory to statistical physics, game theory, optimization, non-commutative algebras and so forth. The workshop promotes the applications of new methodologies in this field with the aim of providing the participants advanced and innovative tools able to catch the fundamental dynamics of complex interactions. It fosters the presentation of new cooperative protocols and new schemes for resource allocation, novel results in the investigation of the theoretical limits and fundamental tradeoffs between competition and cooperation. The applications can steam from any wireless scenario, from multicell networks to sensor and relay networks, cognitive radio or ad-hoc network. In fact, object of the workshop is to provide the participant with a comprehensive, thorough, and unified vision of the resource allocation issue in complex multiuser and multiprovider networks regulated by cooperation and competition. --------------------------- KEYNOTE TALKS --------------------------- * Prof. Anthony Ephremides (University of Maryland) COOPERATION AT THE NETWORK LEVEL * Prof. Gerhard Kramer (University of Southern California) CODING FOR COOPERATION AND RELAYING --------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------- * User scheduling (single cell/multicell/OFDMA/relay-multihoping network); ² Cross-layer design; ² Power-control and energy e±cient communications; ² Resource allocation-based interference mitigation; ² Cooperation schemes for interference control, coverage extension (multicell, multihop cooperation); ² Game theoretic resource allocation; ² Spectrum management, i.e. resource allocation in cognitive radio; ² Pricing based, auction based schemes in ad-hoc/cellular networks; ² Fairness vs performance issues; ² Relay selection, cooperative group optimization and resource allocation; ² Scaling laws and information theoretic bounds; ² Diversity/multiplexing trade-o®s of cooperation protocols; ² Effect of partial and incomplete channel state information in cooperative systems, and robust designs; ² Practical issues in cooperation strategies for mobile ad-hoc and sensor networks. --------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------- Submission Deadline (extended): March 15, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: April 1, 2009 Camera-ready Manuscripts: May 1, 2009 --------------------------- Submission Guidelines --------------------------- The submission will be handled electronically via EasyChair system at https://www.easychair.org/.

Whilst having the ability to provide data with unparalleled temporal and spatial resolution, geosensor networks have pushed the frontiers of traditional GIS research into the realms of computer science, introducing issues such as data fusion, geolocated queries, energy efficient data collection and data mining and interpretation. The incorporation of mobile devices into these networks allows data acquisition to be undertaken on a spatially varying sampling resolution, introducing new research avenues such as co-operative sensing and dynamic coverage. Furthermore, geosensor networks are not only constrained to passively monitor a region, through actuators, they also have the ability to influence or modify their environment. Research in geosensor networks spans multiple fields, ranging from strategies for intelligent data acquisition to virtual reality interactions with environmental dynamics. Of particular interest are applications of geosensor networks, such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, early warning systems and wildlife tracking. This workshop seeks to address these issues, by bringing together leading experts in a two day forum to present novel research and exchange ideas relating to the state of the art and its future directions. Real world results are particularly welcomed, as are reports of interesting or challenging deployments.
