Extended Deadline: First Workshop on Global Sensor Networks (GSN 09)
by Boris Koldehofe 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Extended deadline for paper submissions: 09/11/2008 CALL FOR PAPERS: First Workshop on Global Sensor Networks (GSN 09) Collocated with KiVS 09 in Kassel, Germany http://ipvs.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/vs/gsn09 March 6th, 2009 WORKSHOP SCOPE Global sensor networks (GSN) are an emergent research area aiming to offer applications easy and efficient access to sensor data at the scale of billions of sensing devices. While a single sensor network typically provides access to information of a limited geographical area and selected types of sensor data, a GSN provides an application with uniform and transparent access to a multitude of individual sensor networks that may be geographically dispersed, aggregating and correlating different types of data as appropriate for the application. The challenges imposed by global sensor networks are relevant to many fields in computer communications and distributed systems such as sensor networks, complex event and stream processing, pervasive computing, and P2P overlays. This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners working in relevant fields in order to share ideas, challenges and visions on Global Sensor Networks as well as to foster new cooperation. WORKSHOP TOPICS GSN’09 is looking for contributions related but not limited to the following list of topics in the domain of Global Sensor Networks: - Sensor network protocols - Complex event processing - Distributed stream processing - P2P overlays - Middleware - Security - Query processing and optimization - Quality of service - Applications SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should be submitted in PDF format via the workshop page. Contributions may present i) novel and possibly preliminary research results (full papers 12 pages, short papers 6 pages) , ii) position papers describing major challenges (6 pages), iii) new trends from the industry (2 pages). Each submission will be reviewed by three members of the program committee and are selected according to their originality, quality, and relevance to the workshop topics. Accepted papers will appear in the KIVS Workshop proceedings. For accepted papers at least one author must register with the workshop and give a presentation at the workshop. Submissions must follow the KIVS formatting guidelines and must not exceed the given page limits. Note that contributions in English as well as in German are welcome.

(APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES OF THIS CALL) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers *** EvoCOMNET 2009 *** 6th European Workshop on Nature-inspired Techniques for Telecommunications Networks and other Parallel and Distributed Systems * Tubingen, Germany, April 15-17, 2009 * ------------------------------------------------- Submission deadline (Extended): 12 November 2008 Notification of acceptance: 9 January 2009 Camera ready papers: 21 January 2009 ------------------------------------------------- http://evostar.na.icar.cnr.it/EvoWorkshops/EvoCOMNET/EvoCOMNET.html -- Part of the EVOSTAR 2009 events: http://www.evostar.org -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Many biological systems and processes are characterized by a parallel and distributed architecture in which a large number of autonomous and minimalist units synergistically generate global-level behaviors through local interactions, communications, and the adoption of relatively simple stochastic action policies. The resulting global-level behaviors usually show a number of properties essential for success in natural environments such as: adaptivity to environmental variations, robustness to internal changes and failures, and effectiveness and scalability of performance. Because of all these architectural and performance properties, the observation and reverse-engineering of successful processes in organic, inorganic, and animal systems in nature, has drawn in recent years the attention of many researchers and engineers working in the fields of parallel and distributed systems, and, more in particular, in telecommunications networks. In these domains, nature has provided basic inspiration for the definition of a number of novel algorithms and computational frameworks able to deal effectively with the challenges of current networked systems, which show a growing structural and computational complexity and are made of a large number of highly dynamic and heterogeneous components. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum to present cutting edge research on nature-inspired approaches to problems arising in the design, control, protection, and management of network systems, and to outline new trends in parallel nature-inspired computation for the solution of complex problems. EvoCOMNET is part of EVOSTAR (EVO*), Europe's premier co-located events in the field of evolutionary and nature-inspired computing. EVO* includes the EuroGP, EvoCOP and EvoBIO conferences and a number of workshops collectively entitled EvoWorkshops. EVO* 2009 is the 11th edition of the event, details and cfps can be found at: http://www.evostar.org --------------------------- SELECTED TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------- EvoCOMNET 2009 solicits contributions dealing with the application of ideas from natural processes and systems to the definition, analysis, and development of novel parallel and distributed algorithms, and to the solution of problems of practical and theoretical interest in all domains related to network systems.
