-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: Fourth International Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications (SESENA) Datum: Tue, 8 Jan 2013 09:26:38 +0100 Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | CALL FOR PAPERS | | SESENA 2013 | 4th International Workshop on Software Engineering for | Sensor Network Applications | | In conjunction with ACM/IEEE International Conference on | Software Engineering (ICSE) May 18-26, 2013, San Francisco (USA) | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Paper submission : February 7, 2013 | Author notification : February 28, 2013 | Camera Ready Version : March 7, 2013 | Workshop : May 21, 2013 +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ Fourth International Workshop on Software Engineering for Sensor Network Applications In conjunction with ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) May 18-26, 2013, San Francisco (USA) By acting as the interface between digital and physical worlds, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) represent a fundamental building block of the upcoming Internet of Things and a key enabler for Cyber-Physical and Pervasive Computing Systems. Despite the interest raised by this decade-old research topic, the development of WSN software is still carried out in a rather primitive fashion, by building software directly atop the operating system and by relying on an individual's hard-earned programming skills. WSN developers must face not only the functional application requirements but also a number of challenging, non-functional requirements and constraints resulting from scarce resources. The heterogeneity of network nodes, the unpredictable environmental influences, and the large size of the network further add to the difficulties. In the WSN community, there is a growing awareness of the need for methodologies, techniques, and abstractions that simplify development tasks and increase the confidence in the correctness and performance of the resulting software. Software engineering (SE) support is therefore sought, not only to ease the development task but also to make it more reliable, dependable, and repeatable. Nevertheless, this topic has received so far very little attention by the SE community. SESENA13 aims to attract researchers belonging to both the SE and WSN communities, not only to exchange recent research results on the topic, but also to stimulate discussion about the core open problems and to define a shared research agenda. The workshop welcomes both research contributions and position statements. The former will foster in-depth technical discussions of novel results with an audience composed of both SE and WSN researchers. The latter will provide the opportunity for presenting open problems, provocative views, or previously unexplored ideas in an informal fashion. To foster discussion, SESENA13 will also host a special "speakers' corner" session composed of impromptu presentations where attendees (including those without accepted papers) will have the opportunity to present their own views in very short segments (e.g., 2-4 minutes). ----------------------------------- Topics of Interest The workshop focuses on software engineering issues arising in networked (embedded) sensing systems and their possible integration in Internet of Things scenarios. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - environment and context modeling; - development methodologies; - (macro-)programming languages and compilers; - testing, debugging, and validation; - non-functional modeling and analysis; - software engineering for socio-technical requirements; - security and trust; - formal verification and model-checking; - model-driven approaches; - middleware systems; - interfacing WSNs and business services; - integration of WSNs in IoT applications. ----------------------------------- Submissions Prospective participants are invited to submit research or position papers containing original unpublished material describing ongoing work and new ideas, mature research results, or experience reports. Submissions must conform to the ICSE submission format and rules. Research papers may not exceed 6 pages, position papers must be limited to 2 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically through EasyChair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sesena13). The program committee will review all submissions for quality, relevance, and their potential to trigger discussions at the workshop. Accepted papers will be published in the ICSE companion proceedings and on the workshop web site. ----------------------------------- Important Dates Paper submission : February 7, 2013 Author notification : February 28, 2013 Camera Ready Version : March 7, 2013 Workshop : May 21, 2013 ----------------------------------- Workshop Organizers - Christine Julien, UTexas, USA (Program Chair) - Klaus Wehrle, RWTH Aachen University, Germany (Program Chair) ----------------------------------- Steering Committee - Vittorio Cortellessa, University of L'Aquila, Italy - Kurt Geihs, University of Kassel, Germany - Luca Mottola, Politecnico di Milano, Italy - Amy L.

This emerging field of technology aims to improve safety of passengers and traffic flow, reduces pollution to the environment and enables in-vehicle entertainment applications. The safety-related applications could reduce accidents by providing drivers with traffic information such as collision avoidance, traffic flow alarms and road surface conditions. Moreover, the passengers could exploit an available infrastructure in order to connect to the internet for infomobility and entertainment applications. The increasing necessity of this network is an impetus for leading car manufacturers, research communities and governments to increase their efforts toward creating a standardized platform for vehicular communications. However, VANET?s unique characteristics and special requirements excite new challenges to the research community. To address these challenges in both safety- and comfort-oriented applications, there is a pressing need to develop new protocols and algorithms for channel characterization and modeling, Medium Access Control (MAC), obstacle modeling, adaptive geographical routing to sparse and dense traffic conditions. This special issue aims to theme innovative research achievements in the field of vehicular networks and communications. We are seeking original and unpublished papers. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: - Channel characterization, modeling and simulation - Radio obstacle modeling in urban vehicular environments - Efficient packet forwarding optimization - Congestion control and resource management - Medium access protocols and channel assignments - Adaptive beaconing protocols - Mobility management - Mobility models - Efficient geographical routing adapted to bipolar traffic conditions - Delay tolerant routing protocols - Message dissemination for safety-related applications - Cooperative vehicular communications - Test-beds, case studies, experimental systems and evaluations - Security and privacy issues *Submission* Prospective authors should follow guidelines of the International Journal of Mobile Networks and Applications and the instruction for authors can be found at http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 *Important Dates* Paper Submission Due: January 30, 2013 Notification Deadline: April 30, 2013 Revised paper Submission: June 30, 2013 Final Paper Submission: August 30, 2013 Publication Date: End of 2013 *Guest Editors* *Dr. Jaime Lloret* Department of Communications Polytechnic University of Valencia Camino de Vera s/n, 46022, Valencia, Spain Email: jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es *Dr. Danda B.

This emerging field of technology aims to improve safety of passengers and traffic flow, reduces pollution to the environment and enables in-vehicle entertainment applications. The safety-related applications could reduce accidents by providing drivers with traffic information such as collision avoidance, traffic flow alarms and road surface conditions. Moreover, the passengers could exploit an available infrastructure in order to connect to the internet for infomobility and entertainment applications. The increasing necessity of this network is an impetus for leading car manufacturers, research communities and governments to increase their efforts toward creating a standardized platform for vehicular communications. However, VANET?s unique characteristics and special requirements excite new challenges to the research community. To address these challenges in both safety- and comfort-oriented applications, there is a pressing need to develop new protocols and algorithms for channel characterization and modeling, Medium Access Control (MAC), obstacle modeling, adaptive geographical routing to sparse and dense traffic conditions. This special issue aims to theme innovative research achievements in the field of vehicular networks and communications. We are seeking original and unpublished papers. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: - Channel characterization, modeling and simulation - Radio obstacle modeling in urban vehicular environments - Efficient packet forwarding optimization - Congestion control and resource management - Medium access protocols and channel assignments - Adaptive beaconing protocols - Mobility management - Mobility models - Efficient geographical routing adapted to bipolar traffic conditions - Delay tolerant routing protocols - Message dissemination for safety-related applications - Cooperative vehicular communications - Test-beds, case studies, experimental systems and evaluations - Security and privacy issues *Submission* Prospective authors should follow guidelines of the International Journal of Mobile Networks and Applications and the instruction for authors can be found at http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 *Important Dates* Paper Submission Due: January 30, 2013 Notification Deadline: April 30, 2013 Revised paper Submission: June 30, 2013 Final Paper Submission: August 30, 2013 Publication Date: End of 2013 *Guest Editors* *Dr. Jaime Lloret* Department of Communications Polytechnic University of Valencia Camino de Vera s/n, 46022, Valencia, Spain Email: jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es *Dr. Danda B.

Moreover, theoretical advances on wireless network communications, such as cooperative relay networks, network coding, constructive use of interference, and interference alignment, promise to have significant impact on practical wireless networks in the following years. To better understand the nature of these advances, it is important to evaluate these ideas in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. WiNMee 2013 is the ninth edition in the International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurements series that began in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Experience and measurements from building, designing and/or operating production wireless networks • Measurement and characterization of wireless networks traffic such as WLANs, cellular networks (including smartphone and mobile application traffic characteristics), wireless home networks, and sensor networks • Experimental validation of network simulation and mobility models • Measurement-based network management and troubleshooting • Experiences and challenges with wireless measurements • Methodologies for validating wireless test-bed results and improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration • Methodologies for measuring heterogeneous wireless networks • Techniques and experiences with collecting, archiving, anonymizing and sharing wireless measurement data • Techniques and experimental results on performance measurements of cognitive radio systems • Metrics for wireless network performance evaluation • Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility • Software tools for building and/or managing wireless test-beds • Spectrum utilization measurements techniques in spectrum sharing and cognitive radio networks The workshop seeks novel, previously unpublished papers, which are not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal.

This emerging field of technology aims to improve safety of passengers and traffic flow, reduces pollution to the environment and enables in-vehicle entertainment applications. The safety-related applications could reduce accidents by providing drivers with traffic information such as collision avoidance, traffic flow alarms and road surface conditions. Moreover, the passengers could exploit an available infrastructure in order to connect to the internet for infomobility and entertainment applications. The increasing necessity of this network is an impetus for leading car manufacturers, research communities and governments to increase their efforts toward creating a standardized platform for vehicular communications. However, VANET?s unique characteristics and special requirements excite new challenges to the research community. To address these challenges in both safety- and comfort-oriented applications, there is a pressing need to develop new protocols and algorithms for channel characterization and modeling, Medium Access Control (MAC), obstacle modeling, adaptive geographical routing to sparse and dense traffic conditions. This special issue aims to theme innovative research achievements in the field of vehicular networks and communications. We are seeking original and unpublished papers. Specific topics include, but are not limited to: - Channel characterization, modeling and simulation - Radio obstacle modeling in urban vehicular environments - Efficient packet forwarding optimization - Congestion control and resource management - Medium access protocols and channel assignments - Adaptive beaconing protocols - Mobility management - Mobility models - Efficient geographical routing adapted to bipolar traffic conditions - Delay tolerant routing protocols - Message dissemination for safety-related applications - Cooperative vehicular communications - Test-beds, case studies, experimental systems and evaluations - Security and privacy issues *Submission* Prospective authors should follow guidelines of the International Journal of Mobile Networks and Applications and the instruction for authors can be found at http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 *Important Dates* Paper Submission Due: January 30, 2013 Notification Deadline: April 30, 2013 Revised paper Submission: June 30, 2013 Final Paper Submission: August 30, 2013 Publication Date: End of 2013 *Guest Editors* *Dr. Jaime Lloret* Department of Communications Polytechnic University of Valencia Camino de Vera s/n, 46022, Valencia, Spain Email: jlloret(a)dcom.upv.es *Dr. Danda B.
