The sensor technology promises multiple applications: from monitoring an environment in dangerous regions or enemy forces in a battlefield to controlling traffic in streets, inventory in storehouses and tracking patients in hospitals. On the one hand, small and cheap sensing devices create possibilities for gathering huge amounts of data in a non-intrusive way. On the other hand, actuators add a new network dimension and capabilities: the whole system can also react to the forthcoming events. Still, there are crucial questions which are not answered. Could we design a low-cost sensor technology which enables its massive and pervasive application? Could WSANs be really independent and intelligent systems performing their tasks autonomously without any external control? The goal of this workshop is to gather people from academia and industry and discuss the most emerging issues and future challenges in the area of WSANs. The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to: * Low cost, low-complexity, low-price sensor technology * Collaborative and distributed schemes * Self-organized networks * Biologically inspired WSANs * Localization and positioning algorithms * Routing and MAC protocols * Target detection, identification and tracking * Cross layer issues * Network coverage, connectivity, topology, deployment of nodes * Scalability, robustness, energy efficiency issues * Data aggregation schemes * Reliability, self-healing and recovery procedures * Monitoring and surveillance systems * Security and privacy issues * Mobile sensor and actuator networks * Dynamic network topologies * Sensor networks modelling and simulations * Prototypes, test-beds and field measurements * Sensor network applications Paper submission: Authors are kindly invited to submit the manuscripts prepared according to IEEE submission guidelines and not exceeding 8 pages.

Call for papers: IJARAS Vo.2 No.3 (International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems)
by Vincenzo De Florio 13 May '10

13 May '10

Dear Sirs, please let me draw your attention to the call for papers for the new issue of IJARAS – the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems: ********************** CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* *** Vol.2 No.3 *** SUBMISSION DUE DATE: June 30, 2010 International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS) Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association www.igi-global.com/IJARAS Editor-in-Chief: Vincenzo De Florio, Ph.D. – University of Antwerp and IBBT, Belgium Published: Quarterly (both in Print and Electronic form) International Editorial Review Board Chris Blondia, University of Antwerp / PATS &amp; IBBT, Belgium Gabriella Caporaletti, EICAS automazione, Italy Llorenç Cerdà-Alabern - Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - Spain Marcello Cinque, Mobilab group, University of Naples Domenico Cotroneo, University of Naples, Italy Cristiano Di Flora, Nokia Research Center, Finland Markus Endler, PUC Rio, Brazil Luca Foschini, University of Bologna, Italy Eija Kaasinen, VTT, Finland Konrad Klöckner, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany Gianluca Mazzini, University of Ferrara, Italy Eric Pardede, La Trobe University, Australia Francesca Saglietti, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany Luca Simoncini, University of Pisa, Italy Andrew M Tyrrell, University of York, UK Josef Van Vaerenbergh, Center for Multidisciplinary Approach and Technology, Belgium Yan Zhang, Simula Research Lab, Norway MISSION OF IJARAS: Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems. 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 – a thesis. 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: * Mechanisms, both general and special-purpose, to model, design, express, 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; * Conceptual models and paradigms to express change tolerance; * 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. SUBMITTING TO IJARAS: Prospective authors should note that only original and previously unpublished articles will be considered. INTERESTED AUTHORS MUST CONSULT THE JOURNAL'S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/development/author_info/guidelines%20submission.p… PRIOR TO SUBMISSION. All article submissions will be forwarded to at least 3 members of the Editorial Review Board of the journal for double-blind, peer review. Final decision regarding acceptance/revision/rejection will be based on the reviews received from the reviewers. All submissions must be forwarded electronically to vincenzo dot deflorio at ua dot ac dot be. PUBLISHER: The International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems is published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the 'Information Science Reference' (formerly Idea Group Reference) and 'Medical Information Science Reference' imprints.

The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, Wireless PANs, ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor networks with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available. The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to aim at heterogeneous architectures and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop as well as multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research community in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. Scope Topics related to heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile networks in the areas of: * Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management * Quality of services (QoS) delivery * Seamless Mobility * Robust and scalable routing protocols * MAC protocols supporting mobility and vertical handover * Self-configuration and synchronization * Security * Topology control and management * Mobility models and location management * Cross-layer design and interactions * Modeling and performance evaluation * Algorithms for localization and signal processing * Implementation testbeds * Operating systems and middleware Organisers * Mieso Denko, University of Guelph, Canada * Waltenegus Dargie, Technical University of Dresden, Germany * Anup Kumar, University of Louisville, USA Important Dates * Submission due: July 2, 2010 (Friday) * Decision notification due: August 13, 2010 (Friday) * Camera-ready and registration due: Aug 31, 2010 (Tuesday) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE JSAC (Journal on Selected Areas in Communications) Special Issue: Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers Datum: Fri, 7 May 2010 09:13:13 -0400 Von: zp <zugzwangphilly(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Trading Rate for Delay at the Transport and Application Layers Remote control, media streaming, and interactive multimedia applications are becoming increasingly prevalent uses of the Internet and cellular networks. Because these applications require high rate and low latency, they are not well matched to best effort statistically multiplexed network architectures. In order to efficiently and reliably deliver such low latency high rate services, it is necessary to understand the fundamental and practical tradeoffs between rate and delay for network communication. This special issue solicits original research utilizing a broad spectrum of technical approaches to manage rate and delay at the application and transport layers, including i) information theoretic limits, ii) the design of source and network coding schemes, iii) queueing theoretic models and network control, and iv) protocol design, implementation, and performance evaluation. Information theoretic approaches may involve error exponent and/or unequal erasure protection schemes as well as new theoretical analyses of multiresolution and multiple description source coding. Coding approaches to the problem include the use of fountain codes, practical multiple description source code design, delay aware network coding, and hybrid network coding ARQ schemes. Network control approaches may incorporate the queueing theoretic and/or network utility maximization paradigms. Solutions that focus on architectural (e.g., DiffServ and IntServ) and protocol (e.g., RTMP) design as well as practical deployment issues are also encouraged. Approaches which focus on the relationship between rate and delay over a single link are explicitly excluded from the scope, as the issue will focus on end to end multi-link and overlay approaches. Relevant tools and techniques include: *Network coding *Overlay networks *Queueing based performance analysis *Controlled queues *Fountain codes *Multi-resolution and multiple description source codes *Error exponents *Network utility maximization *Multiclass architectures (e.g., DiffServ, IntServ) *Multimedia protocol solutions (e.g., RTMP) *Streaming and live streaming multimedia/data *Multicast *P2P streaming and live streaming *TCP-friendly approaches All submissions should be prepared in a manner consistent with the JSAC guidelines available at www.jsac.ucsd.edu/guidelines/info.html, and should be submitted via email to rdTradeSpecIss(a)gmail.com. Submission deadline: July 1, 2010 Acceptance notification: November 1, 2010 Final manuscript due to COMSOC: January 1, 2011 Publication: 2nd quarter 2011 Guest Editors: Jaudelice de Oliveira (Drexel University) Atilla Eryilmaz (Ohio State University) Muriel Medard (MIT) John MacLaren Walsh (Drexel University) Steven Weber (Drexel University) Lizhong Zheng (MIT) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Continuing the HotNets tradition, the workshop will provide a venue for presenting and discussing innovative ideas that have the potential to significantly influence the community. The goal is to promote community-wide discussion of those ideas. We invite researchers and practitioners to submit short position papers describing such ideas. A paper could, for example, expose a new problem, advocate a new approach, re-frame or debunk existing work, report unexpected results from a deployment, or propose new evaluation methodologies. We especially encourage submissions of early-stage work and enticing but unproven ideas. Once fully developed and evaluated, the work may be relevant to conferences such as SIGCOMM, SOSP, SenSys, NSDI, MobiCom, PODC, or Infocom. HotNets takes a broad view of networking research. This view includes new ideas relating to (but not limited to) home and enterprise networks, ISP networks, sensor and personal area networks, wireless and acoustic networks, data center networks, peer-to-peer networks, network architecture, and disruption-tolerant networks. It encompasses all aspects of such networks, including (but not limited to) resource management, economics and evolution, robustness and security, mobility, interactions with applications, energy, measurement and diagnosis, and hardware. Position papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of spawning insightful discussion at the workshop, and technical merit. Accepted papers will be posted online prior to the workshop and a workshop summary will be published in ACM SIGCOMM's Computer Communication Review (CCR), widely disseminating the ideas discussed at the workshop. Workshop Participation HotNets is an invitation-only workshop. To ensure an interactive atmosphere, attendance will be limited to around 60 people. Invitations will be extended per the following priorities: * one author per accepted paper, any speakers invited by the Program Committee, and the Program and Steering Committees, * co-authors of accepted and submitted papers, preferring students as available travel support allows, and * event-sponsor representatives and additional authors of submitted papers at the discretion of the Program Committee.

Ideally, wireless users want to have the same services and capabilities that they have commonly come to expect with wired networks. However, to meet these objectives, the wireless community faces certain challenges and need an excellent understanding of all aspects of wireless networks. Wireless networks are large complex entities. This complexity brings to the many problems, such as network planning, resource management, Quality of Service scheduling, congestion and flow control, connection admission control, and Medium Access Control. These problems are outside the traditional communications background. They can be properly addressed with methodologies such as optimization, estimation, adaptation, fuzzy control, games control, robust stability, distributed control, hybrid control. For instance, recently, there has been a surge in research activities that utilize optimization techniques to analysis and design wireless networks. The purpose of this special issue is to bring research papers addressing the theme of control and optimization for wireless networks. Subject areas of interest include, but not limited to, the following: -Applications of control theory to wireless network problems -Admission control, power control, and congestion control of wireless networks -Control system design base on wireless networks -Network utility maximization for wireless networks -Allocation of wireless network resources such as bandwidth, rate, or power -Optimization-based models of network traffic and topology -Digital communications signal processing algorithms via optimization methods -Cross-layer design through nonlinear optimization decomposition -Modeling and performance evaluations for wireless networks Submission Format: The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can be found at www.elsevier.com/locate/jnca.

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers __________________________________________________________________ ********** SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MAY 10, 2010 ********** Call for Papers: 4th Workshop on Adaptive and DependAble Mobile Ubiquitous Systems ADAMUS 2010 In conjunction with the ACM International Conference on Pervasive Services (ICPS'10), to be held in Berlin, Germany, July 13-16, 2010 ICPS '10 web site : http://www.dai-labor.de/icps/ ADAMUS web site : http://www.adamus.ua.ac.be/ ADAMUS 2010 Best Papers will be invited to extend for possible publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient, and Autonomic Systems (IJARAS, www.igi-global.com/IJARAS) WORKSHOP SCOPE __________________________________________________________________ The vision of mobile and ubiquitous systems is becoming a reality thanks to the recent advances in wireless communication and device miniaturization. The wide-spread industrial uptake of these sy- stems is however compromised by the abrupt changes and challenging dependability requirements imposed by the highly error-prone and heterogeneous mobile provisioning environment. To overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices and envi- ronments, a variety of research studies have produced supporting methods, proof-of-concept prototypes, and disciplines. However, it is still unclear whether current solutions can satisfy the chal- lenging adaptability and dependability requirements of the emer- ging mobile ubiquitous services, such as mobile social networks, smart urban mobility, wireless control of robots, and healthcare. The ambition and mission of ADAMUS is to put on the foreground all above issues and to foster the exchange of ideas and lively discussion in order: to propose mechanisms to model, design, and develop mobile ubiquitous systems; to devise conceptual models and paradigms for change tolerance; to provide analytical and simula- tion tools to measure system ability to withstand faults and to optimally re-adjust to new environments; to develop scalable, maintainable, cost-effective middleware infrastructures able to support and ease the development of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous services. Building on the success of the last three editions, ADAMUS 2010 aims at serving as a meeting ground and common platform of discus- sion for research and industrial bodies in the field of adaptive and dependable mobile ubiquitous systems. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to participate with high quality papers able to identify open issues, to discuss the limits and/or advantages of existing solutions, or to propose ori- ginal and innovative techniques for adaptive and dependable appli- cations over mobile environments. The main topics of the Workshop include, but are not limited to the following: - Dependability & adaptation requirements, and open issues for mobile ubiquitous systems; - Design principles, models, and techniques for realizing dependa- ble and adaptive mobile ubiquitous systems; - Context data provisioning and modelling, and context-based in- frastructures; - Context-aware service adaptation for mobile clients; - Frameworks and techniques enabling advanced/demanding applica- tions on mobile ubiquitous systems; - Human-machine interaction and usability; - Multi-device and highly heterogeneous ubiquitous systems; - Cross-layer adaptation techniques; - End-to-end approaches to the quality of e xperience of mobile services; - Autonomous systems for adaptation and dependability; - Mobile-enabled middleware architectures and mechanisms for heterogeneous wireless networks; - Dependability and scalability of web technologies to ubiquitous systems; - Architectures for resource and network monitoring and adaptation to networks conditions; - Dependability measurement of mobile systems and services; - Experience on real-world applications or prototypes of mobile ubiquitous systems.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine, Consumer Communications and Networking Series Datum: Thu, 29 Apr 2010 13:40:46 +0100 Von: Dr Mario Kolberg <mko(a)cs.stir.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies, if you receive multiple copies of the email. Call for Papers IEEE Communications Magazine Consumer Communications and Networking Series Recent trends in consumer networking are that consumers are both creators and producers of content (albeit of varying quality!) and peer distribution is the natural model. This is one of the emerging trends that impact how consumers can use devices to create, manipulate, store, and access content — and is surely a much different view compared to only five years ago where most experts still viewed the world in terms of servers and clients, producers and consumers as distinct and separate entities….indeed, there are still dinosaur organizations out there today who are fighting a rearguard action to protect their dwindling revenue streams because they haven’t been brave enough to embrace this new model. Trends like this are ones that papers for the consumer communications and networking series should address. We have also seen the technological reach of existing solutions being applied in unconventional ways where all aspects of our digital lives are being consumed to provide novel platforms where interoperation between disparate technologies is now possible. For example, the automotive industry is now producing cars that include ad hoc networks designed to provide multimedia solutions as well as links to wide area communications via satellite networks. Using these networking capabilities and interfaces such as USB we see automobile functionality being extended. In this sense the boundaries between the car and conventional consumer devices are beginning to blur. Perhaps the sole technology responsible for the many technological advances we see today is communications. Example communications technologies include the emergence of 3G and 4G, LTE and WiMax, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Ultrawideband, TV-band, and Powerline and Free space optical. Applications of these technologies include personal and body area networking, home networking, game networking, ad-hoc networking, and sensor networking. These networks may be connected through networking layers that are cognitive, peer-to-peer enabled, and have the properties of self organisation and management. These networks will become key enablers where we are already seeing ubiquitous content distribution models, for example, television can now be viewed wherever we are and on any devices capable of connecting to one of the many networking paradigms defined above. With these networks we can expect a platform for true innovation where content distribution will overlay these networks using compression, rights management, delivery, and appropriate quality of service mechanisms that can be seamlessly moved over these next generation networks. All of this is made possible by networking, software and middleware that present to the service designer the tools to provide ease of use, security, and stunning interactivity to the end consumer. With this in mind the IEEE Communications Magazine is seeking papers that emphasize consumer networking in whatever physical environment it finds itself. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: Scope of Contributions • Wireless Multimedia Networks • Body and Personal Area Networks • Mobile Networks and Multimedia • Emerging Wireless Technologies (UWB, OFDM, RFID, Zigbee, etc.) • Distributed Network Protocols for Multimedia HD Audio/Video Networking • Networked Appliances • Entertainment Networks • P2P Algorithms and Architectures for Consumer Electronics Peer Streaming, Networking and Applications • Home Networking and Automation • Next Generation Networks • Pervasive Computing and Contextual Systems • Middleware for Networked Consumer Devices • Media and Device Adaptation • Architecture, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games and Virtual Worlds. • Social Networking and Home Entertainment • Music and Movie Distribution Models • Augmented Reality • Task Computing and the Home • Home Sensor Networks • Autonomic Home Networking • Zero Configuration Networking • Digital Rights Management • Trust in Social Networks • Voice/Video of IP Articles should be tutorial in nature, with the intended audience being all members of the communications technology and spectrum policy communities. They should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at: http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html and a brief summary is available at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/edbd-web/reviewformintro.html.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP:2nd International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks Datum: Thu, 29 Apr 2010 12:38:44 +0800 Von: Shibo He <shibohe.cn(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, nathalie.mitton(a)inria.fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Call for Papers for the 2nd International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (WiSARN2010-FALL) http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/WiSARN2010-FALL/ To be held in conjunction with theIEEE/ACM International Conference on Cyber, Physical and Social Computing (CPSCom 2010) October 30 - November 1, 2010, Hangzhou, China. Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSN), 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, WSAN 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 WSAN, WSN, robot networks, and robotics and automation.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: REALWSN 2010 Datum: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 10:59:37 +0200 Von: Thiemo Voigt <thiemo(a)sics.se> An: Thiemo <thiemo(a)sics.se> Call for Papers The Fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks December 16-17, 2010 Colombo, Sri Lanka http://www.ucsc.cmb.ac.lk/realwsn10/ We are excited to announce that the fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in December 2010. The purpose of the fourth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments of wireless sensor networks. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit and relevance. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring, etc. * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: July 16, 2010 * Notification of acceptance: September 10, 2010 * Camera-ready copy due: October 8, 2010 * Workshop: 16-17 December, 2010 Organizers: Workshop Chair: * Thiemo Voigt, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Technical program committee chairs: * Peter Corke, Queensland University of Technology, Australia * Pedro José Marron, University of Duisburg-Essen and Fraunhofer IAIS, Germany Local organizing committee: * A.
