-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Sepcial issue on wireless sensor networks, IEEE Wireless Communications Magainze Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2003 16:35:36 -0600 (CST) From: Jennifer Hou <jhou(a)cs.uiuc.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apology if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. --------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Special Issue on "Wireless Sensor Networks: Theory and Systems" IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Theme Driven by advances in MEMS micro-sensors, wireless networking, and embedded processing, ad-hoc networks of sensors are becoming increasingly available for commercial and military applications such as environmental monitoring (e.g., traffic, habitat, security), industrial sensing and diagnostics (e.g., factory, appliances), monitoring critical infrastructures (e.g., power grids, water distribution, waste disposal), and collecting data for battlefield awareness. Information processing in sensor networks is an interdisciplinary research area, which spans the areas of signal processing/detection/estimation, networking and protocols, embedded systems, data bases and information management, as well as distributed algorithms. It opens up new research venues, which include sensor tasking and control, tracking and localization, probabilistic reasoning, sensor data fusion, distributed data bases, communication protocols and theory that address network coverage, connectivity, and capacity, as well as system/software architecture and design methodologies. Moreover, all these issues have to consider many cross-cutting requirements such as efficiency/cost tradeoff, robustness, self-organization, fault-tolerance, timeliness, scalability, and network longevity. Topics of Interest This special issue calls for articles that highlight technical issues from physical device design, signal processing, network protocols/algorithms, to revolutionary new applications enabled by sensor network technology. In particular, we are seeking contributions in all aspects of sensor networks. Of particular interests are (i) Articles that summarize the fundamental performance and behavior limits of sensor networks with respect to sensor network capacity, coverage, connectivity, and/or lifetime. As wireless sensor networks must operate under extreme resource constraints, an understanding of the fundamental performance limits of such networks will provide valuable insights into what designs make sense and can help identify areas in which theory promises performance much better than that attained by existing designs. (ii) Articles that outline algorithms which realize certain sensor network operation, such as localization, time synchronization and target tracking, and their theoretical base. Articles of this type should focus on comparing alternative algorithms/approaches with respect to the various sensor network requirements outlined above. (iii) Articles that deal with system implementations, experiments, and experiences in application domains. At an early stage of sensor network development, one can analyze and predict network behavior through simulation and theoretical reasoning. However, a true evaluation of system performance can only be obtained through implementation and direct measurement and experimentation of the prototype. Hence articles that report the system implementation issues with an emphasis on the cross-layer design tradeoffs will shed lights on how effective the overall system design is. Example topical areas of interests include, but not limited to * Coding and information theory * Detection, classification, and estimation * Distributed networked sensing and control * Data compression, association, aggregation and fusion * Data-centric routing and attribute based addressing * Energy efficient medium access control and resource management * Localization, tracking and time synchronization * Network coverage, connectivity, and longevity * Query processing and optimization * Security * Simulation environments and systems prototyping * Sensor network applications and services Publication Schedule Manuscript due: January 1st Acceptance notification: March 1st Final manuscript due: May 1st Expected publication date: August Submission Instruction All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html. Electronic submissions are accepted only in Postscript and PDF formats and should be sent to havinga(a)cs.utwente.nl or jhou(a)cs.uiuc.edu directly. If you have any questions, please contact any one of the guest editors.

These networks consist of battery-powered nodes that are endowed with a multitude of sensing modalities. The demand for these networks is spurred by numerous applications that require in-situ, unattended, high-precision, real-time observation over a vast area. Such networks are more than simply the next step in the evolution of the personal computer or the Internet. Instead, wireless sensor networks operate under a set of unique constraints and requirements that demand more than merely incremental improvements in, or modifications of, traditional technologies. In particular, although there have been significant improvements in processor design and computing, advances in battery technology still lag behind, making energy resource the ultimate bottleneck in wireless sensor networking. The purpose of this issue is to disseminate state-of-the-art approaches and novel techniques that will advance basic knowledge and understanding of wireless sensor networks. We are particularly interested in soliciting papers that study fundamental performance limits and tradeoffs that are brought about by energy constraints and that are unique to the wireless sensor networks. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - New performance metrics and considerations due to energy constraints - Network lifetime limits due to energy constraints - Network lifetime-aware protocols and algorithms - Infrastructure and topological considerations for performance enhancement, e.g., relaying node/base station placement, impact of network geometry - Performance enhancement with power control and directional antennas - Network capacity limits due to energy constraints - Energy provisioning considerations for network lifetime guarantee - Energy consumption consideration for the design of control plane (e.g., centralized or distributed implementations) - Application of directional antennas in energy conservation Publication Schedule: - Manuscript Due: January 15, 2004 - Acceptance Notification: May 1, 2004 - Final Manuscript Due: June 1, 2004 - Publication Date: 3rd Quarter, 2004 Submission Guidelines: Only original, unpublished research papers will be considered. Submission should be limited to 25 double space pages. Prospective authors should submit, via email, their manuscript as a PDF file to EDAS at http://edas.info/ according to the publication schedule.

The effort to develop such heterogeneous networks is linked with many technical challenges including seamless vertical handovers across WLAN and 3G radio technologies, security, 3G-based authentication, unified accounting & billing, WLAN sharing (by several 3G networks), consistent QoS and service provisioning, etc. The need to address these issues and provide timely, solid technical contributions in the area of WLAN/3G integration establishes the motivation behind this special issue proposal. In response to the above demand for integrated WLAN/3G mobile data networks, the proposed special issue aims at providing a timely and concise reference of the current activities and findings in the relevant technical fields. The primary goal is to address the key technical issues pertaining to WLAN/3G integration and present novel technical contributions. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to): - 3G-based authentication - Security issues - Access to 3G-based services (e.g. WAP, MMS) from WLANs - Access to 3G multimedia services from WLANs - Seamless session handover between WLAN and 3G - WLAN information advertisement - WLAN sharing / 3G network selection - Consistent QoS across WLAN and 3G - 3G-based online/offline billing - 3G voice services over WLANs - Interworking architectures and scenarios - Value added services with WLAN-3G integration - Performance evaluation studies - Standardization activities - Extension of location services to WLANs.
