-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE ICC 2009 Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Symposium Datum: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:15:51 -0400 Von: Tommaso Melodia <tmelodia(a)eng.buffalo.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- IEEE ICC 2009 Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networking Symposium June 14.-18. 2009, Dresden, Germany CALL FOR PAPERS http://www.comsoc.org/confs/icc/2009/cfp_symp09.html Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission: September 8, 2008 Acceptance Notification: January 15, 2009 Camera-Ready Papers: March 1, 2009 Description ----------- Ad-hoc and sensor networks (AHSNET) are self-organizing systems formed by co-operating nodes that create a temporary network infrastructure. The key advantages of these networks include allowing anywhere, anytime network connectivity with lack of centralized control, ownership, and regulatory influence; their ability to operate unattended in harsh environments in which contemporary human-in-the-loop monitoring schemes are risky, inefficient and sometimes infeasible; and ease of reconfiguration to fit specific application needs. However, the resource-constrained nature of the employed devices and the self-organization of the network, coupled with an often unattended deployment of a large population of nodes, pose non-conventional challenges and motivate the need for special techniques for dependable design and management of AHSNET. The last few years have witnessed a growing interest in the application of AHSNET in fields such as emergency search-and-rescue operations, decision making during combat, data acquisition operations in inhospitable terrains, dangerous battlefields, outer space, or deep oceans, among others. Such interest has fueled a wealth of research ideas that are moving rapidly into commercialization and standardization. The ICC Symposium on AHSNET opts to bring together researcher and practitioners from academia and industry and foster a forum for discussing and presenting recent research results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Topics of Particular Interest --------------------------------- * Architecures and Applications o Application of ad hoc and sensor networks o Underwater and underground sensor networks o Sensor networks for biomedical applications o RFID networking * Physical Layer Design and Technology o Radio for ad-hoc and sensor networks o Wireless sensor and actor networks o Wireless, ad hoc, and sensor devices o Ultra wide band technology for ad hoc and sensor networks * Protocol Design o MAC, routing, and transport layer protocols for ad hoc and sensor networks o Energy saving and power control protocols o Frequency and channel allocation algorithms * Planning and Services o Deployment strategies and coverage analysis of sensor networks o Service discovery in ad-hoc and sensor networks o Localization algorithms and ranging technologies o Sensor based context aware services * Quality of Service Provisioning and Optimization Techniques o In-network processing and data storage o Data aggregation and query processing techniques o Wireless multimedia sensor networks o Multimedia processing in sensor networks o Cross-layer design and optimization o Synchronization and coordination techniques in ad hoc and sensor networks o Scheduling and resource management algorithms o Mobility management and modeling for sensors o Topology control and management * Performance Analysis and Design Dependability o Formal models and validation techniques o Lightweight and non-intrusive network monitoring algorithms o Security, privacy, vulnerabilities, attacks and countermeasures o Survivability, Fault-tolerance and reliability * Prototypes, Tools and Design Environments o Integrated simulation and measurement based evaluation o Experimental prototypes and testbeds o Energy scavenging technologies o New simulation languages, methodologies, and tools Sponsoring Technical Committees ------------------------------- IEEE ComSoc Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks TC IEEE ComSoc Wireless Communications TC Instructions for Authors ------------------------ Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work.

Kassel, FB 16, Wilhelmshöher Allee 73, D-34121 Kassel ------------------------------------------------------------------ >> Konferenz KiVS'09 in Kassel 02.-06.03.2009 www.kivs09.de ------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS: First Workshop on Global Sensor Networks (GSN09) Collocated with KiVS09 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.
