-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Reminder: Call for papers for CHANTS 2008 co-located with MobiCom 2008 Datum: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 17:20:50 -0700 Von: Kostas Psounis <kpsounis(a)USC.EDU> Antwort an: kpsounis(a)USC.EDU An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of the CFP] Third Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS 2008) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ co-located with MobiCom 2008, 15 September 2008, San Francisco, CA, USA Workshop URL: http:// wavedesk.usc.edu/chants/ Submission Instructions: http://wavedesk.usc.edu/ chants/cfp.html Abstract registration Deadline: 2 May 2008 Submission Deadline: 9 May 2008 Challenged networks are characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes and widely varying network conditions. Nodes in today’s challenged networks often include mobile nodes, space-based nodes, sensor/ actuator nodes and other devices. Performance of the network paths interconnecting such nodes can be highly varying in terms of bandwidth, latency, disruption characteristics and security requirements. Conventional Internet access in performance-limited environments such as developing countries can also be regarded as challenged networks as can be ad-hoc communication between personal devices. The Internet protocol architecture suffers some problems when used in a challenged network setting. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop following CHANTS 2007, CHANTS 2006 and WDTN 2005, we wish to explore ongoing efforts in dealing with physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also in scope. We are solictiting papers addressing aspects in challenged networks including (but not limited to): - Characterization of performance-challenged networks e.g. measurements, modelling - Networking systems operating over unusual/challenged networks - Protocol design and evaluation of operations over challenged networks - System architecture and design for challenged networks - Applications in challenged networks - Robust network application design and implementation techniques - Delay tolerant and disruption tolerant networks (DTN) - Configuration and management of challenged networks Submissions may include presentations of specific systems or performance measurements, as well as architectural papers addressing new concerns. Papers that bring out problems in the existing proposals for challenged networks or that report operational experience will be favored. Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to have a highly interactive workshop focusing on evolving this area of network research and continuing to build its community. Paper format and submission instructions: Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, two columns, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page.

Apologies if you have received multiple copies __________________________________________________________________________________ SENSEAPP 2008 THIRD IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS (in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2008) Montreal, Canada 14-17 October 2008 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 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. Full papers should be restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e. Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, Helvetica or equivalent. POSTER/DEMOS: Poster papers are an opportunity to present initial results and obtain feedback on on-going research. We also welcome submissions for demonstrations that showcase original research, practical implementations and realistic applications of wireless sensor networks. Poster/demo papers must be restricted to 2 camera- ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references. Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS. All papers must include title, complete contact information of all authors, abstract and up to 5 keywords on the cover page. The corresponding author must be clearly identified. Further information can be found at http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp .
