This is mainly attributed to the unprecedented operating conditions of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), i.e. - a potentially enormous amount of sensor nodes, - reliably operating under stringent energy constraints. The virtually infinite degrees of freedom of wireless sensor networks have ignited intense research activities, which in turn led to thousands of publications, white papers and patents in less than a decade, with new contributions emerging on a daily basis. The rich mathematical and technical toolboxes already available from the design of wireless cellular and ad hoc systems clearly aided the birth of new ideas tailored to the problems in WSNs. To date, the main problem in deploying WSNs is their dependence on limited battery power. A main design criterion is to extend the lifetime of the network without jeopardizing reliable and efficient communications from sensor nodes to other nodes or to data sinks. A prominent example of today's non-optimized WSN deployment experiences is that the start-up alone costs the network half its battery power. Optimizing every facet of the communication protocols is therefore vital and imperative. Such stringent design requirements can be met by a plethora of approaches, e.g. optimizing each layer of the protocol stack separately (traditional) or jointly (cross-layer), for each node separately (traditional) or for an ensemble of nodes (distributed and cooperative), etc. This has led to copious novel distributed signal processing algorithms, energy-efficient medium access control and fault-tolerant routing protocols, self-organizing and self-healing sensor network mechanisms, etc. In the light of the above, the main purpose of this special issue is twofold: - to obtain a coherent and concise technical synthesis from the abundance of recently emerged material in the area of WSNs, and - to promote novel approaches in analyzing, designing and optimizing large-scale WSNs, preferably inspired by approaches from other disciplines, such as physics or biology. Very few papers are currently available which synthesize the large amount of fairly dispersed technical contributions; a coherent exposure, also touching upon open research issues, will certainly be appreciated by the academic and industrial research community. We believe that novel approaches, potentially inspired by entirely disjoint disciplines, may help considerably in dealing with networks of thousands of nodes. Topics of interest in the area of energy-constraint WSNs include, but are not limited to: - network capacity w/out imperfections - joint source and channel coding - cooperative and distributed signal processing - data fusion and data aggregation - novel PHY, MAC and network paradigms - cross-layer and cross-functionality design - security, robustness, reliability - self-healing, self-stabilization, self-organization - applications, architectures and topologies - (macroscopic) information flows - physically and biologically inspired approaches Submission details can be found under (copy entire link): http://www.hindawi.com/GetPage.aspx?journal=WCN&page=CLOWS.

[Fwd: [Tccc] TERENA Networking Conference TNC 2007 - Call for Papers]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] TERENA Networking Conference TNC 2007 - Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 11:26:35 +0200 Von: Thomas C Schmidt <schmidt(a)informatik.haw-hamburg.de> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS TERENA Networking Conference 2007 21 - 24 May Lyngby, Denmark Visible Services - Transparent Networks The TERENA Networking Conference 2007 is organised by the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association and hosted by UNI-C, the Danish IT centre for education and research. The conference will be held at the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby, a vibrant university town just north of Copenhagen. Transportation will be provided between Lyngby and the city of Copenhagen where most of the hotels and social events are located. TERENA Networking Conferences are well-established events focusing on new directions, trends and technology. The conference brings together leading figures from research, management, industry and governance to present and discuss the technical and strategic aspects of the provision of networks and services to the research and education community. In the modern world the availability of fresh water, gas and electricity in our homes is taken for granted to such an extent that we rarely have to think about the underlying infrastructure. As the exchange of information and networked service becomes more pervasive and integrated into every aspect of our lives, it is important that this infrastructure acquires the same degree of transparency. The underlying network infrastructure needs to become more transparent, so that we can focus all of our attention on providing applications that deliver high quality services that are easy and intuitive to use. In this way it should be possible to raise the visibility of services above that of the supporting technology.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP, Special issue on End-to-end Support over Heterogeneous Wired-Wireless Networks Datum: Sun, 17 Sep 2006 22:52:25 -0400 Von: Kang-won Lee <kangwon(a)us.ibm.com> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: bjornl(a)it.usyd.edu.au This announcement is being forwarded on behalf of Dr. Bjorn Landfeldt. CFP, Special issue on End-to-end Support over Heterogeneous Wired-Wireless Networks -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Computer Communications Special Issue on End-to-end Support over Heterogeneous Wired-Wireless Networks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In recent years, many networking technologies have emerged and have been deployed to enable ubiquitous Internet access anywhere, anytime, using a wide range of devices. In particular, we have witnessed the rapid proliferation of different types of wireless communication networks including Cellular, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Bluetooth, WiMax, etc which are widely being used as extensions to the wired Internet infrastructure. In addition to the convergence of heterogeneous wired-wireless networks, the issue of mobility of end-users has also become a central issue of the evolving heterogeneous mobile Internet. There are still many research challenges that need to be addressed to enable seamless, transparent, wireless access to Internet services for mobile end-users. This special issue will provide insights into some of the latest research network design approaches, techniques, and technologies that can provide architectural, protocol, connectivity, mobility, Quality of Service (QoS) support on an end-to-end basis over the underlying IP-based wired-wireless Internet infrastructure for emerging mobile wireless Internet applications with diverse requirements. We expect this Special issue to provide innovative, flexible, and scalable solutions that can be widely deployed and adopted by end-users. We are particularly interested in research contributions that cover experimental activities involving the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of novel prototype architectures, protocols, and services related to end-to-end support over heterogeneous (i.e., wired-wireless) networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: QoS support over heterogeneous networks QoS routing and signaling Middleware platforms and technologies Transport protocols Congestion control Admission control Cross-layer design issues in wired/wireless networks Handoff management Mobility management IP mobility System support infrastructures and services Service deployment and adaptation Multimedia Communications Multimedia services and protocols Seamless internetworking designs and architectures Resource management Security issues, architectures, and protocols Position and tracking technologies Location services Power management for communications Pricing, charging, accounting issues IMPORTANT DATES Full papers due: January 15, 2007 Notification of acceptance/revision/rejection: February 26, 2007 Revised manuscript due: March 19, 2007 Final manuscript due: April 2, 2007 Publication date: 2007 Papers submitted for consideration for this special issue must be written in English and describe original research not published or currently under review by other journals and conferences.

Mesh networks share many properties with ad hoc networks, but they also differ in many ways. Fundamentally, however, the technology builds on multi-hop wireless routing of data from access nodes to gateways to fixed network infrastructure. Even though these networks have emerged quite recently, there are already many deployments in different parts of the world, creating a situation where commercialization has taken place while the technology is relatively immature. Because of the promising commercial potential of such networks, it is important to understand the limitations and artefacts that are specific to these networks and how they affect applications utilising them for successful deployment of robust and well-behaving systems. It is also important to find mechanisms and solutions that address these specifics early on in the deployment to minimise the impact they may have in the long run. This special issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing is seeking high-quality original unpublished research articles that describe recent advances in the understanding of mesh network behaviour, finding of such artefacts, and solutions to address them. ************************************************************************** Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Mesh Network: * Traffic modeling * Routing, scheduling, and queuing * Network formation and planning * Mobility aspects and their impact on network performance * Security issues * Application behavior and QoS management * Multi-channel and multi-radio systems, channel assignment ------- Submission guidelines ------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts to http://ees.elsevier.com/jpdc.
