[Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IOTS 2010 The 1st IEEE/ACM Internet of Things Symposium http://www.cpschina.org/IOTS/ In conjunction with GreenCom 2010 Hangzhou, China, December 18-20, 2010 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Overview The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of Internet-enabled objects, together with web services that interact with these objects. IoT is growing momentum in terms of the underlying technology as well as the adoption by corporations, universities and across many industries. IoT aims at increasing the ubiquity of the Internet by integrating every object for interaction via embedded systems, which leads to the highly distributed network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices. The widespread adoption of the Internet of Things will take time, but the process is accelerating thanks to improvements in underlying technologies. Advances in wireless networking technologies and the standardization of communication protocols make it possible to collect data from sensors almost anywhere at any time. Smaller silicon chips for this purpose are gaining new capabilities. Significant increase in storage and computing power can also be available via cloud computing. However, a large number of challenges remain. With the increase in heterogeneity, it has become very difficult to ensure interactions with devices on a unified protocol. The requirements of Internet for intelligent interaction with the environment led to the emergence of wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There exists a need for those networks to produce their information in an interpretable form and to reduce the complexity of accessing sensor services. 2.Symposium Outline The focus of this symposium is on bringing together relevant researchers to explore internet of things technologies and applications. The scope of this symposium includes, but not limited to, the following areas: - IoT connecting objects technologies: sensors, RFID, smartphone - IoT network architectures - IoT emerging applications - IoT security and privacy - IoT routing - IoT naming and addressing - IoT energy-efficient computing and communications - IoT data fusion - IoT cross-layer optimization - IoT communication protocols - IoT heterogeneous network integration: WiFi, WiMax, 3G, 4G, ZigBee 3.Important Dates (NEW!)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: HotMobile 2011 - Preliminary Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:08:32 +0000 Von: Iqbal Mohomed <iqbal(a)MICROSOFT.COM> Antwort an: Iqbal Mohomed <iqbal(a)MICROSOFT.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG **We apologize if you receive more than one copy of this announcement** HotMobile 2011 The Twelfth Workshop on Mobile Computing, Systems, and Applications Phoenix, AZ, USA March 1-2, 2011 http://www.hotmobile.org/2011/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE Preliminary Call for Papers ACM HotMobile 2011, the twelfth Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2011 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas. To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Important Dates Paper submission due: October 15, 2010 Acceptance notification: December 16, 2010 Revised papers due: January 21, 2011 Paper submissions are due by 23:59 PDT on Friday October 15, 2010. Paper Submission Instructions Paper submissions are due on Oct 15th 2010 at 23:59:59 PDT (Pacific Daylight Time). Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [10 DAYS LEFT] CFP: IJRRCS - Special Issue on Nature-Inspired Optimization in Networking Datum: Sat, 21 Aug 2010 11:48:03 -0700 Von: Albert Lam <ayslam(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu We apologize if you received multiple copies of this posting. ** CALL FOR PAPERS *** ------------------------------------------------------- CFP: International Journal of Research and Reviews in Computer Science - Special Issue on “Nature-Inspired Optimization in Networking” ------------------------------------------------------- Computer networking has become an active research fields in the last few decades and many products have been realized through successful networking research. Due to our demands for higher data rate and more seamless connectivity, new technologies keep being developed and merchandised, including wireless sensor networks, wireless mesh networks, social networks, smart grid communications, etc. Therefore, many new problems have been proposed and most of which can be formulated as optimization problems. However, many such optimization problems do not have the corresponding good algorithms developed or they are so hard (usually classified as NP-hard) that no algorithm is available to find the optimal solution in polynomial time. Although it may be difficult to find the optimal solutions for these problems, we can still approximate the best solutions with reasonably good ones. When we focus on NP-hard problems and computation time is our concern, approximate algorithms are the good choice. Since the evolutionary computational approaches were developed in the past few decades, many works rely on the nature-inspired algorithms to do optimization. The relatively classical ones are Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing, Artificial Immune System, Ant Colony Optimization, and Particle Swarm Optimization, etc. Some recently proposed algorithms include Harmony Search, Bee Algorithm, Bacterial Foraging Optimization, Group Search Optimization, Biogeography-based Optimization, Chemical ReactionOptimization, etc. This special issue is focused on highlighting the nature-inspired techniques to solve optimization for designing computer networks. They should demonstrate advantages or improvements in some aspects over the existing methods. The goal is to developnature-inspired approaches which enhance the adaptability, autonomicity, and scalability of any kinds of computer networks. We also welcome submissions that demonstrate real-world experience in and theoretical works on applying nature-inspired optimizationtechniques to networking research problems. Topics related to computer networks to be covered in this special issue include but are not limited to: • P2P audio and video streaming • Grid and cluster computing • Cloud systems • Social networks • Infrastructure-based and ad hoc cognitive radio systems • Topology control and management • Cross-layer design and interactions • Centralized/distributed radio resource management in wireless mesh networks • Service-oriented and QoS support for smart grid • Energy-efficient transmission switching and routing for smart grid communications • Multicast for smart grid • Green computing systems Topics related to nature-inspired techniques to be covered in this special issue include but are not limited to: • Genetic Algorithms • Simulated Annealing • Ant Colony Optimization • Particle Swarm Optimization • Artificial Immune Systems • Harmony Search • Bees Algorithm • Biogeography-based Optimization • Group Search Optimization • Bacterial Foraging Optimization • Chemical Reaction Optimization Guest Editors: • Dr. Albert Y.S.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP [Extended] SI of Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal on "Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks" Datum: Sat, 21 Aug 2010 18:59:08 +0200 Von: Laura Galluccio <lgalluccio(a)diit.unict.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Dear Colleagues, Please consider that, due to the numerous requests received, the paper submission deadline of the Special Issue of Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal on "Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks" is extended to October 15 (firm deadline). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal Call for Papers A Special Issue on "Cross-Layer Design in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks" http://www.elsevier.com/framework_products/promis_misc/cfp_.pdf For well over a decade, the international community has invested significant effort conducting research on ad hoc and sensor networks. These networks show promise to support the development of always-on services in next generation mobile systems. Initially, it was natural to inherit the traditional layered network architecture in designing systems and services. More recently, the need to support high performance applications while coping with the limited node capabilities highlights the necessity of cross-layer design in these networks. Cross-layer design offers new opportunities to exploit the potential offered by joint optimization of design parameters, satisfy QoS requirements, among others, that cannot be addressed by traditional architecture in a satisfactory manner. However, at the current time, we lack a clear understanding of the interactions among the layers, and a comprehensive framework for cross-layer design in the network stack. Scope of Contributions The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address the key aspects of cross layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks. Original manuscripts describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -Architecture issues for cross-layer design in ad hoc and sensor networks -Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design -Performance optimization for cross-layer design of ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design issues for QoS provisioning in ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer strategies in wireless sensor and actuator networks -Application layer adaptation based on cross-layer notifications -Interactions between routing/mobility management and congestion control -Cross-layer optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity -Cross-layer error and delay control -Channel access algorithms for cross-layered ad hoc communication networks -Cross-layer design of MIMO systems -Multi-user detection in cross-layer design -Design, implementation and test-bed/experimental results -Software defined radio for ad hoc and sensor networks -Cross-layer design for P2P streaming -Cross-layer design for multimedia systems -Cross layer issues in vehicular networking Important dates Paper submission (New Deadline): October 15th , 2010 First round notification: December 15th, 2010 First round revision: January 15th , 2011 Second round notification: Febuary 28th, 2011 Final papers: March 15th, 2010 Guest Editors Laura Galluccio University of Catania lgalluccio(a)diit.unict.it Klara Nahrstedt University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign klara(a)cs.uiuc.edu Violet R.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: PerNets (with IEEE CCNC) Datum: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 13:29:42 +0530 Von: R. Venkatesha Prasad <rvprasad(a)ieee.org> An: tccc <Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. ************************************************************************ Fifth IEEE International Workshop on Personalized Networks (PerNets) http://pernets.irctr.tudelft.nl/<https://legacywebmail.tudelft.nl/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://pernets.i…> to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2011) January 9, 2011 - Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA ************************************************************************ Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks and the Internet of Your Things. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. - Architectural framework of personalized networks - Personalized network applications - Personal communications in the next generation Internet - Personalized networks for rural areas - Context awareness - Internet of (your) things technologies - Resource, service and context discovery - Self-organization and adaptation - Addressing and routing - Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks - Mobility of personalized networks - Personalization of virtual resources - Cooperative and collaborative methods for personalized networks - Security, privacy and anonymity - Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use - Dependability - Application-driven communication substrates - Personalized networks for group oriented networking - New QoS concepts in personalized networks - QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices - Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources - Modeling and simulation of personalized networks - P2P paradigm in personalized networks - Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Submission Instructions Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in PDF to the EDAS paper submission website. The first sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent.

Such systems may be deployed in a variety of environments such as within the building infrastructure, in tools and machinery and embedded in garments or clothing of personnel. This would enable continuous fine-grained monitoring of various processes and operations in typically harsh environments. In addition, the in-built intelligence could allow certain nodes to individually or collaboratively analyse the sensed data and take autonomous decisions to perform certain actuation operations. Cognitive systems could also play an important role in providing real-time feedback to factory or logistics personnel to help improve productivity and safety. There are, however, numerous challenges in developing such systems. For example, the harsh radio environment present within factories and warehouses makes it essential to develop robust networking protocols that are highly fault tolerant. The limited memory and computational resources on every node means that collaborative algorithms are required to process the sensed data. Certain nodes in the network may be powered using harvested energy (e.g. solar, vibration, etc.). This would require energy management algorithms that would help the system deal with variable levels of energy resources over time. The networking and data processing algorithms need to be highly scalable and support heterogeneous network architectures as a typical large scale network may involve thousands of nodes with differing capabilities in terms of sensing, data generation, processing power and network capability. This workshop provides a platform for both academic and industrial researchers to demonstrate how cognitive wireless sensing technologies can enhance the operation of present day factory and logistics operations. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Robust networking protocols (MAC, Routing, Transport, Time synchronization, QoS, Mobility support). - Sensor information processing (Calibration, Adaptive sampling, Signal processing). - Distributed algorithms for data management (Querying, Data aggregation, Coding, Storage). - Theoretical and simulation-based modelling (Mobility models, Fundamental bounds and formulations). - Energy harvesting (Variable energy management algorithms). - In-network data interpretation (Event detection and classification, Situation and context awareness, On-line training and learning, Activity recognition). - Sensor-actuator coordination (Heterogeneous architectures, Distributed control, Adaptive feedback mechanisms). - System support (Operating systems, Network monitoring and management, Network reprogramming, Simulation and debugging tools). - Services (Service discovery, Localization and tracking). - Real-world experiences (Novel applications, Deployments, Experimental testbeds, Measurements).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: SI on Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks Datum: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 08:26:00 -0400 Von: Wang, Yu <Yu.Wang(a)uncc.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu>, <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca> CC: Wang, Yu <Yu.Wang(a)uncc.edu> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ********************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPER Special Issue of International Journal of Network Management on Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks http://paws.kettering.edu/~cwu/qos-si-ijnm.html Publication: Fall 2011 Quality of service of wireless networks refers to the collective service performances with respect to the user expectation and the network configuration. Over the years, the wireless networks have not only expanded in their sizes, such as geographical area and number of nodes, but also in the variety of services, users, and deployment environments. Small mobile devices, such as smart phones, that allow instantaneous high speed information access and data processing have radically changed the way of our living. Moreover, the development of ad-hoc networks allows the easy formation of wireless networks for information sharing and data gathering. Due to various factors, wireless networks are constantly changing. For example, the service pattern, workload, available resources (power supply, bandwidth, beacons, nodes etc.) are not fixed. Therefore, it is important to be able to access and manage the quality of services for ensuring the optimal performance of the networks. There are basically two aspects to QoS study in wireless networks. One aspect is accessing and diagnosing the status of the networks and evaluating the current level of service quality. The other aspect is to study the network design to handle the changing factors of the networks so that the quality of service is optimized under the constraint of the available resources and service pattern. The quality of service management and diagnosis of a network is closely related to wide range of fundamental issues such as network topology, routing protocols, resource allocation, communication layer, and working environments etc. The contributed papers will study both practical and theoretical models and algorithms for ensuring the high quality of service in wireless networks and the approaches for quality of service evaluation and diagnosis. This special issue of the International Journal of Network Management is seeking new and unpublished contributions addressing issues in Quality of Service Management in Emerging Wireless Networks including, but not limited to: * Fault diagnosis * Diagnosis middleware * Reconfigurable networks * Performance evaluation * QoS evaluation model * Self-healing networks * Adaptable resource management * Network simulation platforms * QoS-oriented network planning * QoS-based routing protocols * Data management * Mobility management * Security and privacy Papers describing current research and practice are solicited.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [WONS 2011] Call for Papers - One month to deadline - The Eighth International Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services Datum: Fri, 06 Aug 2010 12:52:19 +0200 Von: Christoph Sommer <christoph.sommer(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ** One month to deadline - Sep 6, 2010 ** CALL FOR PAPERS - WONS 2011 The Eighth International Conference on Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services Technically sponsored by IEEE COMSOC, IFIP, TCCC, and Euro-NF January 26-28, 2011 Bardonecchia, Italy http://conferenze.dei.polimi.it/wons2011/ Scope of the conference ----------------------- As more and more users become increasingly dependent on wireless and mobile communications, it is necessary to secure a reliable and dependable technology support for "on-demand" services through any of the wireless architectures that have been in development recently, such as mesh networks, WiMax, WiFi, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, etc. However, there are serious challenges to overcome, such as the integration of infrastructure-based and ad hoc networks, robust algorithms for self-organizing, reconfigurable wireless networks, on-demand service models and their provision in a highly-volatile interconnection environment, and smooth interoperability of architectures. WONS, now in its eighth edition, has established itself as a high-quality forum to address these challenges in the context of a workshop that is rich in intense interactions and based on innovative contributions by experts in the field. This announcement solicits original submissions of high-quality research papers on "wireless on-demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling, performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models and mechanisms, practical implementations, service level aspects, and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to all kinds of wireless on-demand networks comprise, but are not limited to: * Architecture and design * Evaluation through simulations and experiments * Modeling * Integration and co-existence * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive and ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security, privacy, and trust * Novel applications and services * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Implementations and testbeds * Opportunistic, delay-tolerant, and dissemination-based protocols * Future wireless Internet solutions * Mobile peer-to-peer systems * Middleware aspects * Self-X and network management Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere and must not be currently under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit double-column full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers (up to 4 pages) as a PDF file in IEEE format with a font size no smaller than 10pt. Short papers should present future research directions and ongoing work with visionary, innovative ideas; accepted short papers will populate poster sessions at the conference and will be included in the conference proceedings. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper. Conference proceedings will be included in the IEEE Xplore library. Further submission instructions will be published on the conference web site.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Journal of Communications - SI (updated) Datum: Fri, 6 Aug 2010 11:15:13 +0900 Von: Lei Shu <lei.shu(a)live.ie> An: <discuss(a)ieeetcsc.org>, <cnom(a)inf.ufsc.br>, <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca>, <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CC: WTC.Mail(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca (Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.) Submission Link: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jcmsiradssa2010 CALL FOR PAPERS [in PDF] Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Recent Advance on Distributed Sensor Systems & Applications http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/si/jcmsi_radssa.html Applications are always the original driving force for researches, particularly in the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) area, which is highly utility-oriented. WSNs have emerged as a new information paradigm for distributed real-time and embedded systems, where the energy consumption and the data process and storage capacity of the sensor nodes must be taken into account. Example applications include environment monitoring, emergency response, critical infrastructure protection, medical care, intelligent transportation, and smart manufacturing. However, finding killer applications for WSNs is still a hard task that is heavily pursued. This special issue aims at presenting innovative and significant research on the design, implementation, usage, and evaluation of wireless sensor systems, applications, and novel techniques, especially in a distributed environment. We seek papers that take a broad systems perspective rather than focus narrowly on low-level components. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: l Sensor networks applications, architectures, protocols, Tools, systems, and algorithms l Real testbed measurement and performance analysis l Operating systems and middleware for sensor networks l Distributed networked sensing, actuation and control l Energy harvesting technologies on power and energy management l Wide-area sensing services and support for social networking l Localization and time synchronization and QoS provisioning protocols l Security and privacy in sensor networks l Multimedia transmission (high resolution video etc) l Inter-connection between distributed sensor systems l Systems for context sensing and context awareness l User interfaces/ User friendliness and usability issues for backend monitoring l Collaborative in-network processing and data sharing l Sensor devices and sensor circuits for distributed systems Submission Guideline: Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers. Submissions should follow the author guidelines of Journal of Communications and the complete instructions for prospective authors can be found at http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/forauthors.html.
