Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft fuer Informatik e.V. 17. September 2012, Braunschweig http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/alg/wsn-iot-2012/ Bildeten bisher vornehmlich Server, PCs, Laptops und Mobiltelefone die Mehrheit der Internetteilnehmer, so werden in einem zukuenftigen Internet miniaturisierte eingebettete Systeme mit stark begrenzten Ressourcen dominieren. Ein Beispiel fuer solche Systeme sind drahtlose Sensornetze, die einmal in die Umgebung ausgebracht autonom eine applikationsspezifische Ueberwachungsaufgabe erfuellen (z.B. Erkennung von Brandherden in einem Waldgebiet). Urspruenglich als isolierte Netze konzipiert, werden drahtlose Sensornetze zunehmend als integraler Bestandteil eines zukuenftigen Internets gesehen. Durch Verlaengerung der Internetprotokolle in die Sensornetze und damit in die reale Welt hinein entsteht ein Internet der Dinge (engl. Internet of Things, IoT), in dem der Zustand sensorbestueckter Objekte, Personen und Orte in Echtzeit verfuegbar sind und mittels Aktoren sogar beeinflusst werden koennen. Eine ganze Reihe wichtiger Anwendungen koennen von der resultierenden Infrastruktur profitieren. Beispielsweise kann das Internet der Dinge im Bereich "Smart Cities" die Lebensqualitaet verbessern und den Verbrauch von Ressourcen reduzieren. Im Bereich des "Ambient Assisted Living" wird durch das Internet der Dinge ein altersgerechtes autonomen Leben zu Hause ermoeglicht. Die Integration drahtloser Sensoren und Aktoren ins Internet und die Entwicklung von Anwendungen fuer das Internet der Dinge ist hoch komplex, da hier zwei bisher weitgehend voneinander getrennte Welten aufeinandertreffen: des Internet auf der einen Seite und eingebettete Systeme auf der anderen Seite. Es muss also eine Bruecke zwischen den grundlegend verschiedenen Entwurfs- und Entwicklungsmethoden, Protokollen, aber auch Werkzeugen in beiden Welten geschlagen werden. Wichtige Aspekte sind daher die Entwicklung neuartiger uebergreifender Konzepte, Methoden, Algorithmen und Softwareinfrastrukturen zur Integration eingebetteter Systeme ins Internet und zur Entwicklung von Anwendungen fuer das resultierende Internet der Dinge. Im Rahmen dieses Workshops sollen diese Themen in einem interdisziplinaeren Kreis diskutiert werden. Dazu zaehlen explizit sowohl praktische als auch algorithmische Aspekte. Themen - Wireless Sensor Networks - Internet of Things (IoT) - Systems of Systems - Cyber-Physical Systems - Integration mit dem (Future) Internet; IPv6 und 6LoWPAN - Integration mit dem Semantic Web - Services und CoAP - Anwendungsentwicklung - Algorithmen fuer verteilte und eingebettete Systeme - Algorithmen fuer geometrische Netze - Samart Cities - Experimental Facilities Termine - Einreichung der Beitraege: 15. April 2012 - Benachrichtung der Autoren: 6. Mai 2012 - Endgueltige Version: 31. Mai 2012 - Workshop 17. September 2012 Richtlinien fuer die Einreichung Autoren werden gebeten, bisher unveroeffentlichte Beitraege aus Wissenschaft und Forschung ueber EasyChair einzureichen. Jede Einreichung wird unabhaengig durch Mitglieder des Programmkomitees begutachtet. Mindestens ein Autor eines angenommenen Beitrags muss sich fuer die GI-Jahrestagung INFORMATIK 2012 registrieren, im Workshop anwesend sein und den Beitrag praesentieren. Die Beitraege werden in einem Tagungsband in der GI-Reihe "Lecture Notes in Informatics" und in Open-Access-Form erscheinen. Verwenden Sie daher bitte die LNI-Formatvorlagen der GI (Word oder LaTeX). Ihr Beitrag soll 10 Seiten nicht ueberschreiten. Beitraege koennen sowohl in englischer als auch deutscher Sprache verfasst sein. Sie koennen als PDF-Datei bis zum 15.

To meet these new requirements, there have been extensive R&D activities in the academia, industry, and government agencies around the world. Notably, in future digital cities and their connected vehicles with on-board computation, sensing and storage capabilities, the paradigm will shift from vehicles being consumer of the network to vehicles being actor of the network. Accordingly, there is a need for innovative solutions in the interdisciplinary approaches involving vehicular communications, sensing, and computing. The VCSC workshop aims to cover all related topics of intra/inter-vehicular communications, sensing on the road, and computing to support safer and more efficient driving. The component technology includes reliable and scalable system architecture, interworking with the existing network infrastructure, fusion of local and remote sensing data, new antenna and physical-layer technologies, information dissemination in vehicular networks, privacy and security, and cloud computing to realize these applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Vehicular sensors networks and sensing technologies - System architecture for emerging vehicular applications - Drive-through Internet - New physical layer technologies - MAC and routing protocols for vehicular communications - Antenna technologies (SISO, MIMO) - Intra-vehicular technologies (CAN, FlexRay) - Heterogeneous infrastructure planning - Security and privacy - Cognitive radio technologies for vehicular communications - Heterogeneous sensing data fusion for better perception - V2V and V2I content distribution - Vehicular cloud computing - Interaction between vehicles and mobile devices - Interaction between intra- and inter-vehicular devices - Green communication and networks - Prototype and field tests --- IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission Due: March 31, 2012 Notification of Acceptance: May 04, 2012 Camera-Ready Due: May 18, 2012 --- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development.

Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. This 4th ACM HotPlanet workshop will challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces as well as to propose novel mobility data processing and knowledge discovery techniques, also showcasing demonstrations of innovative realworld technology. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to: • Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology • Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets • Techniques for mobility data storage and processing • Knowledge discovery from mobility data • Novel applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterization and modeling • Planet-scale data collection infrastructures • Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection • Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to contribute in providing/collecting data on a planet-wide scale • Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection • Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection FULL PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and placed in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). In order to allow papers to appear in the ACM Digital Library, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit, together with their camera-ready, an ACM proceedings copyright transfer form. Failure to send the camera-ready and copyright transfer on time will prevent the publication of the paper and its inclusion in the ACM Digital Library. Papers will be reviewed single blind. DEMO PROPOSALS SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Real-world data gathering and measurement are at the heart of large-scale human mobility data collection, processing, and modeling. Technical demonstrations showing innovative and original practical solutions in the above mentioned topics are solicited, showing working prototypes stimulating discussion among the attendees. Demo proposals should be submitted following the exact same guidelines of full papers, except for the page limit that is fixed to 2 (two) pages. Accepted proposals will be included in the proceedings and published by ACM on the ACM Digital Library. Demo proposals will be peer reviewed single blind by the Demo Program Committee.

Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2012 Camera-ready version due: May 1, 2012 ================================================================================================== Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. Based on short- and medium-range communication like DSRC or Wi-Fi as well as on long-range cellular systems, vehicular networking will enable a wide range of applications, including safety applications (e.g., collision avoidance and safety warnings), traffic applications (e.g. real-time traffic congestion and routing information), information sharing applications (e.g. media and content sharing), and other applications and systems involving communication to and between vehicles. The ACM VANET 2012 workshop intends to cover a widening range of research topics which are related to vehicular networking technologies, applications, services and systems. The great potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs on vehicular communication systems worldwide, such the current InteractIVe and eCoMOVE projects within the European eSafety framework, various US programs derived from the Connected Vehicle projects and the Japanese Smartway and Advanced Safety Vehicle programs. Vehicular communication and networking also present a very active field of standardization activities worldwide, like IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x) and SAE DSRC in the US, ISO TC204, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan, as well as field trials like the Safety Pilot Model Deployment in the US, simTD in Germany and SCORE@F in France. The Ninth ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking, Systems, and Applications (ACM VANET 2012) will cover all vehicular wireless networking aspects using a variety of wireless communication techniques (from short-range DSRC/WiFi to long-range cellular communication). The topics not only cover the design and implementation of vehicular communication systems and applications, but also include the potential implications on transport efficiency and safety, systems issues, services, applications, liability issues, standardization efforts and spectrum assignment. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling, modulation and coding - Congestion control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design and network management - System architecture and design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Security issues and countermeasures, and privacy issues - Telematics applications - Communication related to electrical vehicle charging - Networking to reduce energy consumption - Wireless in-car networks - Systems that reduce driver distraction - DSRC systems for vulnerable road users (pedestrians, road workers, bicyclists, etc.) Submission Instructions: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors should omit self-identifying language, e.g. concerning prior work. We also strongly encourage the submission of position papers (with a maximum length of 6 pages) and practice papers (with a maximum length of 10 pages) (following the ACM Proceedings Templates above). Position papers will generally include preliminary results and are expected to describe highly original ideas, discuss new directions, or generate insightful discussion at the workshop. Position papers can be a good way to obtain early feedback before submitting complete work to highly selective venues such as ACM MobiSys and ACM MobiCom. On the other hand, practice papers will report innovative system design, make significant observations or provide relevant conclusions derived from real-world empirical experiences or finalized/ing industrial research/proof-of-concept projects.

Dear Sirs, dear Madams, this is to warmly invite you to respond to the next two calls for papers for IJARAS,the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems.IJARAS is now in its third year of publication, during which it hosted many an important contribution from top-notch scholars from all over theworld. Its entire first volume has been recently reprinted and is availablefrom March 2012 as book "Technological Innovations in Adaptive and DependableSystems: Advancing Models and Concepts", which may be ordered here:http://www.igi-global.com/book/technological-innovations-adaptive-depe… is likely the the same reprinting policy will be applied to all volumesof IJARAS. Please find herein IJARAS' most recent calls for papers. Kind regards,Vincenzo De Florio ********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* *** Vol.4 No.4, Vol.5 No.1 *** SUBMISSION DUE DATES: March 16, 2012 (Vol.4 No.4), May 11, 2012 (Vol.5 No.1).

The primary objective of IJARAS is to provide worldwide readership to high quality, novel, effective approaches to design, develop, maintain, evaluate, and benchmark adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. devices and services that are built to sustain quality of service and quality of experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructure and surrounding environments. IJARAS has multiple focuses, ranging from conceptual models and paradigms to technological aspects. IJARAS builds upon a core mission statement and research direction: The awareness of today's urgent need to structure our computer systems as adaptive systems able to constantly re-optimize in the face of changes both exogenous (environmental) and endogenous (pertaining to internal assets). IJARAS introduces a problem, which implies a research direction---athesis. The truth about this statement is drastically reverberating through several domains, and in so doing several seemingly unrelated research domains such as cross-layer adaptation for mobile devices and business process re-engineering can be regarded as special cases of a larger theory of systems. This vision paves the way to cross-fertilization; and through that, IJARAS aims at becoming a powerful tool to steer novel ideas and inject new research directions in this area. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: IJARAS topics include (but are not limited to) the following ones: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, analyze, and develop adaptive, autonomic and resilient systems; * Analytical and simulation tools to measure a system's ability to withstand faults and optimally re-adjust to new environments; * Robustness, or the emergence of desired properties throught system evolution. In particular, emergence of safety; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express and assess evolvability; * Methods, models, and architectures to manage and express strategies and provisions for cross-layer adaptation; * Design-time / run-time methods and tools to identify and enforce optimal trade-offs between energy consumption, performance, safety, and security; * Scalable, maintainable, cost-effective provisions, located at all system levels, to achieve adaptability and dependability; * Resilience engineering; * Autonomic business process execution; * Adaptive service-oriented computing; * Evolutionary and embryogenic approaches to autonomic computing, resilience, and adaptive systems; * Recovery-oriented computing; * Methods focusing on optimizing quality of experience e.g. adaptive user interfaces; * Adaptive fault-tolerance; * Adaptive fault-masking; * Adaptive data integrity; * Autonomous and adaptive systems in robotics; * Adaptive and context-aware multimedia; * Personalization; * Adaptive data mining; * Adaptive fault models; * Adaptive system models; * Adaptive routing; * Autonomic applications; * Architecture-based adaptation; * "Self-*" systems.

Overview Wireless connected robots and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have enabled great potentials and a large space for ubiquitous and pervasive applications. Robotics and WSNs have mostly been considered as separate research fields and little work has investigated the marriage between these two technologies. However, these two technologies share several features, enable common cyber-physical applications and provide complementary support to each other. The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia, and industry working in to both robotics and sensor networks areas to present and discuss recent advances and innovative ideas pertaining to these fields. Papers dealing with the coupling between robots and sensor networks are particularly sought. The workshop also looks for contributions about cyber-physical applications based on robotics and sensor networks, such as intelligent transportation systems, healthcare monitoring, industrial automation, etc. The workshop will provide a relaxed forum to present and discuss new ideas, new research directions and to review current trends in these areas. The workshop will be based on short presentations that should encourage discussions among the attendees. Statements which are innovative, controversial or that present new approaches are specially sought.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM MobileHealth 2012: 8 days before deadline Datum: Mon, 27 Feb 2012 13:59:32 +0100 Von: Saadi Boudjit <boudjit(a)univ-paris13.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu (Last Call for Papers. Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) -- 2nd ACM International Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare -- -- 8 days before deadline -- -- News: Final manuscripts length has been limited to 6 pages -- CALL FOR PAPERS -------------------------------------------------------------------- MobileHealth 2012 http://www-l2ti.univ-paris13.fr/~boudjit/MobileHealth2012/ The Second ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare -------------------------------------------------------------------- To be held in conjunction with MobiHoc 2012 http://www.sigmobile.org/mobihoc/2012/ June 11-14, 2012. Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Technical sponsorship: ACM SIGMOBILE ------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the workshop ----------------------- Average age of the population tends to increase and the number of people requiring care intensive medical monitoring is not small. This increases overall cost of medical care. Therefore, partially replacing the assistance of nursing staff by small health surveillance and communication equipments like sensors, networks, monitoring software could be cost effective and would also increase life standard. Recent Advances in technology has led to the development of small, intelligent, wearable sensors capable of remotely performing critical health monitoring tasks and then transmitting patient's data back to health care centers over wireless medium. Such wireless health monitoring platforms aim to continuously monitor mobile patients needing permanent surveillance. However, to set up such platforms several issues along the communication chain should be resolved. The acquisition of medical information via a set of wireless sensors embedded in the patient himself, the treatment and use of this information either by a local contractor equipment or offset after transfer in 3G and/or WiFi connection to a data server, the access to the collected data, ...etc. are some of the important challenges that we have to consider. Each level represents a fairly complex subsystem with a local hierarchy employed to ensure efficiency, portability, security, and reduced cost. After the success of MobileHealth'2011 in Paris - France, the second edition of the workshop will be held in Hilton Head Island - South Carolina - USA on June 11th, 2012 in conjunction with the 13th edition of ACM MobiHoc conference (MobiHoc 2012). MobileHealth'2012 workshop aims to provide a forum for the interaction of these multiple areas and would be an important chance to discuss and understand what aspects have to be considered to provide effective pervasive wireless healthcare systems. The workshop will include presentations of theoretical and experimental achievements, innovative wireless systems, prototyping efforts, case studies and advances in technology related to wireless healthcare networking and systems. This announcement solicits technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Cost290] [CfP] Advances in Software Engineering - Special Issue onFuture Wireless Communication Systems and Services Datum: Fri, 24 Feb 2012 09:39:14 -0000 Von: Ivan.Ganchev <Ivan.Ganchev(a)ul.ie> An: <cost290(a)cs.tut.fi> *****Apologies for cross-posting***** Dear colleagues, Please consider to contribute to and/or forward to the appropriate groups the following opportunity to submit and publish original scientific results to: Advances in Software Engineering Special Issue on Future Wireless Communication Systems and Services Call for Papers Advances in software engineering for wireless communication networks and systems are emerging rapidly and in tandem with developments and vast growth of wireless services. Many new, next generation and advance future services are being conceived. The phenomenon of IP-based services delivered to mobile devices is likely to put pressure on the existing user-network business relationship. One specific perspective, which is missing in the current wireless telecom market today, is the one that reflects the user-centric view, in which the user (and his/her service) is put to the center of the networking problem, and thus the user is not one of many clients contending for a connection to the network, but the network operator is one of many providers that contend to satisfy the user’s service. Service providers and wireless access network providers will need to rethink their techno-business models, and reshape their focus towards services and applications which are independent and portable of the underlying access and transport networks. Users especially need to be fully facilitated in exploiting opportunities of being always best connected and best served (ABC&S). All these trends are likely to have a disruptive impact on the current telecom ecosystem calling for a more dynamic and flexible process of interaction between telecom business players towards a mutually beneficial proposition. This novel environment will create several new service access scenarios and benefits that are not currently available to mobile users, including greater service choice and service management capabilities, all of which require appropriate software engineering techniques, tools and formalisms to support these activities. New ideas and innovation in communication software design, development, implementation, configuration, assessment, testing, optimization, maintenance and reengineering, are vital to the success of these developments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · Software architectures, patterns, and frameworks for future wireless communication systems and services · Software engineering for smart mobile devices · Open source software (OSS) methodologies and practices in future communications · Future multimedia software applications · Intelligent human-computer interfaces of the future · Future distributed and heterogeneous communication applications · Intelligent agents in future communication systems · Adaptive and context-sensitive software of the future · Middleware development for future wireless communication systems · Smart cards software engineering · Security, privacy and safeness in software engineering for future wireless communication systems and services Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal’s Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/guidelines.html <http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ase/guidelines.html> .

Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. This 4th ACM HotPlanet workshop will challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces as well as to propose novel mobility data processing and knowledge discovery techniques, also showcasing demonstrations of innovative realworld technology. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to: . Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology . Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets . Techniques for mobility data storage and processing . Knowledge discovery from mobility data . Novel applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterization and modeling . Planet-scale data collection infrastructures . Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection . Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to contribute in providing/collecting data on a planet-wide scale . Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection . Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection FULL PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and placed in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). In order to allow papers to appear in the ACM Digital Library, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit, together with their camera-ready, an ACM proceedings copyright transfer form. Failure to send the camera-ready and copyright transfer on time will prevent the publication of the paper and its inclusion in the ACM Digital Library. Papers will be reviewed single blind. DEMO PROPOSALS SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Real-world data gathering and measurement are at the heart of large-scale human mobility data collection, processing, and modeling. Technical demonstrations showing innovative and original practical solutions in the above mentioned topics are solicited, showing working prototypes stimulating discussion among the attendees. Demo proposals should be submitted following the exact same guidelines of full papers, except for the page limit that is fixed to 2 (two) pages. Accepted proposals will be included in the proceedings and published by ACM on the ACM Digital Library. Demo proposals will be peer reviewed single blind by the Demo Program Committee.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] (Deadline extended) CFP: The 5th International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (WiSARN 2012-Spring) Datum: Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:20:09 +0100 Von: Enrico Natalizio <enatalizio(a)deis.unical.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers The 5th International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (WiSARN 2012-Spring) http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/WiSARN2012Spring/ To be held in conjunction with The 8th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS'12) May 16-18, Hangzhou, China. Submission deadline is EXTENDED to Mar. 5, 2012. Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formatted in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MOBISENSOR'2012 - CALL FOR PAPERS -- 2 WEEKS TO DEADLINE Datum: Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:27:09 +0200 Von: Charalampos Konstantopoulos <konstant(a)unipi.gr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS 3nd International Workshop on Mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks (MOBISENSOR'2012) in conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '12) May 18, 2012 Hangzhou, China WEB SITE: <http://www2.aegean.gr/dgavalas/MobiSensor2012/> http://www2.aegean.gr/dgavalas/MobiSensor2012/ AIMS AND SCOPE Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer unprecedented capabilities for integrating sensing with computing and communication as well as for distributed sensing, coordination and control. While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focused on sensor nodes typically deployed in static, pre©\ determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and multi©\hopped to a static sink for subsequent storage and analysis. The next evolutionary step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all its forms. That is, mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and actuators as well as mobility of code (i.e. applications). The mobility extension represents a more recent research subject in sensor networking; mobility opens up a whole new level of research opportunities and challenges in WSNs, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This workshop aims to highlight the benefits and challenges from such a step and outline the state of the art in this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Actuator networks - Mobile sensor©\actuator networks - Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent©\based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks - Localization techniques in wireless sensor and actuator networks - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility©\assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data fusion techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications and deployment experiences PROGRAM CO©\CHAIRS: Charalampos Konstantopoulos (konstant(a)unipi.gr) University of Piraeus, Greece Grammati Pantziou (pantziou(a)teiath.gr) Technological Educational Institution of Athens, Greece Damianos Gavalas (dgavalas(a)aegean.gr) University of the Aegean, Greece TECHNICAL PROGRAM COMMITEE: Kemal Akkaya (Southern Illinois at Carbondale, USA), Stefano Basagni (Northeastern University, USA) Paolo Bellavista (Universit¨¤ di Bologna, Italy), Ioannis Chatzigiannakis (Computer Technology Institute, Greece) Cheng©\Fu Chou (National Taiwan University, Taiwan), Omprakash Gnawali (University of Houston, USA), Martin Haenggi (University of Notre Dame, USA), Chi©\Fu Huang (National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan), Victor Leung (Univeristy of British Columbia, Canada), Jun Luo (Nanyang Technological University, Singapore), Edith Ngai (Uppsala University, Sweden), Sotiris Nikolitseas (University of Patras, Greece), Gian Pietro Picco (University of Trento, Italy), Hairong Qi (University of Tennessee, USA), Binoy Ravindran (Virginia Tech, USA), Jens Schmitt (University of Kaiserslautern, Germany), Anthony Stefanidis (George Mason University, USA), Damla Turgut (University of Central Florida, USA), Pramod K.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - Extended Deadline - OPTIM 2012 - International Workshop on Optimization Issues in Energy Efficient Distributed Systems Datum: Tue, 21 Feb 2012 08:59:54 +0000 Von: Grégoire DANOY <gregoire.danoy(a)uni.lu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive this more than once] ======================================================= *** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED : MARCH 12, 2012 *** ======================================================= ============================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on optimization issues in energy efficient distributed systems (OPTIM 2012) As part of The International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS 2012) July 2 – July 6, 2012 Madrid, Spain http://hpcs2012.cisedu.info/ ***Submission deadline: March 12, 2012*** ============================================================================ SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Minimization of energy consumption has become a central issue in designing distributed systems that range from wireless ad hoc networks to data centers. Because battery technologies have not yet matched advances in hardware and software technologies, saving energy in battery-operated devices is very important for mobile/wireless networks. Similarly, minimizing energy consumption in high performance computing centers will, in addition to saving power consumption, require less cooling mechanisms. These new challenges require innovative and effective optimization solutions for minimizing power consumption in distributed systems, such as energy-efficient scheduling algorithms and energy-efficient Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are interested in addressing issues of concern and challenges related to optimizing computing system power consumption, energy efficient systems, and distributed systems. Both theoretical papers and papers describing practical experiences will be welcome. The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: - Optimization of energy-efficient protocols/algorithms - Energy-efficient scheduling algorithms - Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols - Energy-efficient MAC protocols - Energy-efficient routing protocols - Voltage and frequency scaled networks - Energy-efficient communication protocols - Energy-efficient protocols/algorithms in PHY, IP layers or above - Hardware solutions for achieving energy efficiency in large-scale networked systems - Virtualization techniques for energy efficiency - Network models and simulation modules/tools for energy efficient solutions ============================================================================ PAPER SUBMISSIONS You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics related to optimization issues in energy efficient distributed systems. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 400 words.
