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 experience 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. PAPER SUBMISSION __________________________________________________________________ ADAMUS 2010 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in ACM double-column proceedings style.

Cyber-physical systems are tight integrations of computation, networking, and physical objects, in which embedded devices are networked to sense, monitor and control the physical world. It is believed that CPS will transform how we interact with the physical world just like the Internet transformed how we interact with one another. In particular, there is a trend to build CPS upon wireless and mobile networks as a consequence of unprecedented proliferation of these technologies in recent years. In addition to wireless sensors and actuators, the number of mobile devices that can support wirelessly networked cyber-physical applications has exploded. Some usual examples include smartphones, PDAs, autonomous robots, wearable computers, among others. Ubiquitous applications and services enabled by mobile CPS are opening up great opportunities for improving the quality of our daily life. To fully explore the potential of mobile CPS, however, significant challenges are yet to be overcome. MobiCPS 2010 is an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present innovative ideas and results on all aspects of mobile cyber-physical systems, including theoretical foundations, techniques and methods, tools and platforms, prototypes, and practical applications. Besides research papers, the workshop will feature Invited Talks and a Panel Discussion session. The workshop will be held in Xi'an, China in October 2010, in conjunction with the 7th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC2010) (http://www.nwpu.edu.cn/uic2010/). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations of CPS - Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical interaction - Sensing and actuation policies - Distributed computing and control - Architectures, design methodologies and tools for mobile CPS - Mobile devices and embedded software platforms for cyber-physical computing - Mobile cyber-physical applications and services - Energy-efficient (green) computing and communications - Wireless networking and communications - Wireless sensor networks - Mobile and participatory sensing - Location-based services - Internet of things - Information consensus - Trust, security, and privacy - Validation, testing, and certification - Prototypes, testbeds, practical experiences, and case studies - Emerging applications in healthcare, transportation, automation, environment, etc. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper submissions due: 30 May 2010 Notification of acceptance: 15 July 2010 Camera ready version due: 30 July 2010 Workshop date: TBA SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers that must not have been submitted to or published in any other workshop, conference, or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Last CFPs, JCTA SI on "Wireless Sensor Networks: from Theory to Practice" Datum: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 02:41:15 +0800 Von: Xiao Wendong <wxiao(a)i2r.a-star.edu.sg> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Journal of Control Theory and Applications (Springer) (http://www.jcta.ac.cn/cta_en/ch/common_item.aspx?parent_id=7&menu_id=200912… <http://www.jcta.ac.cn/cta_en/ch/common_item.aspx?parent_id=7&menu_id=200912…> ) Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks: from Theory to Practice Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is characterized by the dense deployment of sensor nodes that continuously observe physical phenomenon. The main advantages of WSN include its low cost, rapid deployment, self-organization, and fault tolerance. WSN has received tremendous interests of various research communities, and significant progresses have been made in various aspects including sensor platform development, wireless communication and networking, application signal and information processing, as well as network performance evaluation and design. Such work has established good foundation for WSN research and development. The research and development of WSNs are stimulated by novel exciting applications. For example, WSNs, particularly the wireless body sensor network, make the old people/patient healthcare monitoring possible in smart home environment, where advanced signal processing algorithms are required to extract medical parameters like heart beat rate from raw sensor measurements such as ECG signal, estimation algorithms are required for occupant location and motion tracking, and machine learning algorithms are required for occupant activity recognition. The indoor environment (e.g., temperature and humidity) can be monitored by ambient wireless sensor network, and help design highly efficient distributed air-conditioning control system to improve the energy efficiency and enhance occupant comfort. Such WSN applications must address a number of key technological challenges induced by limited network resources such as node energy and network bandwidth. As a result, the application algorithms should be resource constrained and the network protocols should be application-driven. Advanced closed-loop system can be expected as an integrated system solution to link the application algorithms and the lower layer networking protocols by means of control theoretic or optimization approaches. To be scalable and reliable, such algorithms and protocols should also be distributed in nature via node local processing and collaboration with limited information exchange to achieve complex overall network goal. This special issue is a follow-up of the previous special issue on Networked Sensing, Decision Making and Control in Journal of Control Theory and Applications organized by Lihua Xie and Frank L. Lewis, which received warm responses. Different from that special issue, which mainly addresses the theoretic approaches for WSNs and networked control systems challenged by network uncertainties and limited resources, this special issue will be more focused on novel real WSN applications and application-driven research and development. Papers with real practices on platform development, network deployment, and system operational lessons or experience are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: · WSN theoretic approaches: - Distributed and collaborative signal processing - Target detection, classification, and tracking - Network modeling and optimization - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Coverage and topology control - Adaptive and mobile sampling - Consensus estimation and cooperation · WSN applications: - Healthcare monitoring - Environment monitoring - Surveillance system - Networked manufacturing system - Structural health monitoring; - Cognitive sensing and spectrum management - Military and battlefield applications All the submissions will be subject to peer review in accordance with the standard review procedures of the Journal of Control Theory and Applications.

These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. SUBMISSION: FULL PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM VANET 2010 (new deadline Apr 23) Datum: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 14:25:04 -0700 (PDT) Von: Fan Bai <fan_bai(a)yahoo.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu My apologies if you have received multiple copies! 　 ======================== ACM VANET 2010 Vehicle to Vehicle -- Vehicle to Roadside -- Vehicle to Internet The Seventh ACM International Workshop on VehiculAr Inter-NETworking In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2010 Date: September 24, 2010 Chicago, IL, USA Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE http://winlab.rutgers.edu/~fanbai/vanet2010/ 　 Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline: April 23, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: June 25, 2010 Camera-Ready Deadline: July 15, 2010 The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of vehicular inter-networking (VANET) technologies. Apart from new and original technical research results, this year we welcome papers on organizational and economic models. Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter- networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision avoidance and safety warnings), efficiency applications (e.g.real-time traffic congestion and routing information) and other commercial or public authority applications (high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include research programs like the ones on cooperative systems within the eSafety framework of the European Union, the Intellidrive initiative in the US, Smartway, DSSS (Driving Safety Support System) and ASV (Advanced Safety Vehicle) in Japan, simTD in Germany and SCOREF in France. Standardization is well under way with the activities worldwide in ISO TC204 and IEEE (802.11p and 1609.x), SAE J2735 in the US, ETSI TC ITS and CEN WG278 in Europe and ARIB T-75 in Japan. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research results, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design - Safety, efficiency and commercial applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Test methodologies - Impact assessment - Network management - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Organisational and economic models 　 Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages, use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and must 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. We also encourage the submission of position papers with a maximum length of 6 pages (following the ACM SIG 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 MobiCom. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2010 web page at: http://winlab.rutgers.edu/~fanbai/vanet2010/. 　 Organizing Committee General Co-Chairs: Timo Kosch, BMW, Germany Andre Weimerskirch, escrypt Inc., USA Technical Program Co-Chairs: Marc Torrent-Moreno, Barcelona Digital Centre Tecnològic, Spain Marco Gruteser, Rutgers University, USA Publicity Chair: Fan Bai, General Motors Research, USA 　 Technical Program Committee Fan Bai, General Motors Research, USA Eylem Ekici, Ohio State University, USA Tamer ElBatt, Nile University, Egypt Andreas Festag, NEC Europe Ltd, Germany Hannes Hartenstein, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Daniel Jiang, Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America,Inc., USA Frank Kargl, University of Twente, The Netherlands Timo Kosch, BMW, Germany P.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special Issue on Wireless Communication in Challenged Environments Datum: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 00:44:05 -0500 Von: M. Can Vuran <mcvuran(a)cse.unl.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Apologies in advance, if you receive multiple copies] ========================================= Ad Hoc Networks Journal (Elsevier) Special Issue on WIRELESS COMMUNICATION IN CHALLENGED ENVIRONMENTS ========================================= Guest Editors: Mehmet Can VURAN, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Wendi HEINZELMAN, University of Rochester, USA Jun-Hong CUI, University of Connecticut, USA Gilles Y. DELISLE, Technology Integration Center, Canada Martine LIENARD, University of Lille, France Cedric WESTPHAL, DoCoMo Labs, USA ************* Paper submission deadline: July 9, 2010 ************** The recent advances in wireless communications and networking have motivated the use of these technologies in environments where no computer has gone before. More specifically, the ubiquitous data gathering, computation, and communication capabilities of tiny sensors motes, microprocessors, and mobile communication devices have recently been exploited in places such as underground mines, tunnels, and soil; underwater environments such as oceans and rivers; the outer space; and locations affected by natural disasters. Wireless communication in these challenged environments is characterized by the direct impact of the physical world environment on the communication and networking performance. Accordingly, the traditional definitions of communication channel, connectivity, network topology, packet route, or message delivery may no longer hold true. To provide the required guarantees for applications in these environments, a fundamental understanding of the environmental impacts on communication as well as the physical layer affects on higher layer protocols is required. Moreover, cross- layer solutions that address the challenges in these environments by incorporating the interactions between the environment and communication performance are beneficial. Consequently, environment- aware solutions that adapt to the changes in their environment can be realized. This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in communication and networking in challenged environments. Papers describing applications, protocols, analysis models, evaluation methods, and experimental studies are solicited. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Network architectures - Analysis models - Channel models - Resiliency, reliability, and robustness - Communication protocols (transport, routing, MAC, error control, security) - Cross-layer design and optimization - Localization solutions - Deployment scenarios and experiences in Challenged Environments including: - Underground (Mines, tunnels, and soil) - Underwater - Space - Disaster areas - Urban areas About the Ad Hoc Networks ----------------------------------- The Ad Hoc Networks is an international and archival journal providing a publication vehicle for complete coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in ad hoc and sensor networking areas. The Ad Hoc Networks considers original, high quality and unpublished contributions addressing all aspects of ad hoc and sensor networks.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory has changed its Aims and Scopes Datum: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 13:47:52 -0000 Von: Elsevier Mathematics <mathematics(a)mail.elsevier-alerts.com> Antwort an: <mathematics(a)mail.elsevier-alerts.com> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de <wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> To display this email in a browser, please click here: http://mail.elsevier-alerts.com/go.asp?/bESJ001/qLKB6R1F/xAH2OR1F Dear Dr Wolf, Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory has recently changed its Aims and Scope. The new, updated Aims and Scope are: The journal Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory provides a forum for original, high quality papers dealing with any aspect of systems simulation and modelling. The journal aims at being a reference and a powerful tool to all those professionally active and/or interested in the methods and applications of simulation. Submitted papers will be peer reviewed and must significantly contribute to modelling and simulation in general or use modelling and simulation in application areas. Paper submission is solicited on: • theoretical aspects of modelling and simulation including formal modelling, model-checking, random number generators, sensitivity analysis, variance reduction techniques, experimental design, meta-modelling, methods and algorithms for validation and verification, selection and comparison procedures etc.; • methodology and application of modelling and simulation in any area, including computer systems, networks, real-time and embedded systems, mobile and intelligent agents, manufacturing and transportation systems, management, engineering, biomedical engineering, economics, ecology and environment, education, transaction handling, etc.; • simulation languages and environments including those, specific to distributed computing, grid computing, high performance computers or computer networks, etc.; • distributed and real-time simulation, simulation interoperability; • tools for high performance computing simulation, including dedicated architectures and parallel computing. Papers covering applications should be presented in such a way that the separate steps in the process, such as model development, computer implementation of the derived model, mathematical and scalability problems encountered and validation/verification with real data become transparent to all readers. Theory may play an important role in a paper, but it should be presented in the context of its applicability to the work being described. For application-oriented readers it is essential that theoretical papers should cover the following aspects: why the theory is relevant and how it can be applied, what is the novelty of the approach and what are the benefits and objectives of a new theory, method or algorithm; what experience has been obtained in applying the approach and what innovations did result. (Variations from these prototypes, such as comprehensive surveys of active research areas, critical reviews of existing work, and book reviews, will be considered provided they make a clear contribution to the field). Special issues on specific topics will be published from time to time; proposals for such issues are invited. All manuscripts should still be submitted via the journal's editorial handling system http://ees.elsevier.com/simpat.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for papers: Informatik für die Energiesysteme der Zukunft Datum: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 09:17:13 +0100 (CET) Von: gi-mitglieder-info(a)gi-ev.de An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Workshop: Informatik für die Energiesysteme der Zukunft 40. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik – Leipzig 2010 27.09. – 01.10.2010 Call for Papers **************************************************************************** ******* Motivation Eine sichere Energieversorgung ist die Grundlage für eine moderne Gesellschaft, in der alle wichtigen Bereiche, wie Gesundheits- und Transportwesen, Wirtschaft und Kommunikation, von energietechnischen Vorgängen abhängig sind. Die bisherige Grundlage für die Energieversorgung bildeten fossile Energieträger, die in Großkraftwerken in Nutzenergie umgewandelt und über zentral organisierte Netze verteilt wurden. Die Notwendigkeit, schädliche Emissionen zu vermeiden und die Grundlage für eine nachhaltige Energieversorgung ohne Abhängigkeit von begrenzten Rohstoffen zu schaffen, führt bereits heute zu einem starken Wachstum des Anteils erneuerbarer Energieträger und von hocheffizienten, dezentralen Erzeugungsanlagen (z.B. zur Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung). Es wird erwartet, dass die künftige Energieversorgung durch eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Erzeugungstechnologien getragen wird und eine umfassendere Steuerung der Netze notwendig wird, die die Verbrauchsseite mit einschließt (Smart Grids). Durch die Liberalisierung der Energiemärkte drängen neue Anbieter in den Markt. Neben Industrieunternehmen können nun auch andere Unternehmen, Gewerbebetriebe, Wohnanlagen sowie private Haushalte selbst zu Energieerzeugern werden. Neben der Deckung des eigenen Bedarfs sind sie in der Lage, Strom und Wärme an andere Abnehmer zu liefern. Die traditionelle Marktstruktur mit wenigen Großerzeugern wird aufgebrochen und durch eine Vielzahl von Beziehungen zwischen Lieferanten, Händlern, Abnehmern und anderen Marktrollen ersetzt. Dadurch ändern sich die Geschäftsprozesse und die Kommunikation der Marktteilnehmer untereinander, was durch entsprechende IT-Infrastrukturen und Systemen unterstützt werden muss. Ziele Aus technischer Sicht stellt der zunehmende Anteil erneuerbarer Energien und dezentraler Anlagen die Infrastruktur vor neue Herausforderungen. So müssen die natürlichen Fluktuationen, die durch Wind- und Solarstrom verursacht werden, nicht nur mit konventionellen Kraftwerken ausgeglichen werden, sondern ebenso durch Anpassungen auf der Verbrauchsseite. Dabei soll sichergestellt werden, dass der Konsument keine Komforteinbußen erleidet. Technologien wie elektronische Zähler (Smart Metering), Gebäudeautomatisierung und Web-gestützte Anwendungen können helfen, diese Ziele zu erreichen. Die Integration von Elektrofahrzeugen bietet weitere Möglichkeiten, durch eine Steuerung der Ladevorgänge inklusive Rückspeisung die Auswirkungen der fluktuierenden Einspeisung zu kompensieren. Für diesen Workshop werden Beiträge gesucht, die den Beitrag der Informatik zu einer sicheren, nachhaltigen und wirtschaftlichen Energieversorgung beleuchten. Dazu sind Arbeiten erwünscht, die insbesondere aber nicht ausschließlich folgende Themenbereiche abdecken: - Energiemanagementsysteme und intelligentes Lastmanagement - Koordinationsmechanismen für dezentrale Infrastrukturen - Simulation von Infrastrukturen, energietechnischen Anlagen, Elektrofahrzeugen und Koordinationsmechanismen, z. B. Belastung in Transport- und Verteilnetzen, Berechnung virtueller Kraftwerke, Lastgangsimulationen bei hohem Durchdringungsgrad an elektrisch betriebenen Fahrzeugen - Neue Verfahren zur Prognostizierung von Erzeugung und Verbrauch (z. B. durch Anwendung von Fuzzy Logic) - Modellierung und Durchführung von kollaborativen Geschäftsprozessen unter Einhaltung rechtlicher Anforderungen - Neuartige (Web-basierte) Informationssysteme, (mobile) Anwendungen und Dienste auf Basis von Smart Metering und Kommunikationskanälen zwischen Lieferanten, Netz, Messdienstleister und Verbrauchern - Kommunikation und Anwendungen für Elektrofahrzeuge, z. B. auf Basis von Car-2-car/Car-2-X-Kommunikation - Sicherheit und Datenschutz für die Kommunikation zwischen Marktteilnehmern und für die Steuerung von energietechnischen Anlagen - Software-Engineering für hardwarenahe Systeme in der Energie-Infrastruktur - Technologien und Methoden für die Koordination (dezentraler) energietechnischer Anlagen (z. B. agentenbasierte Systeme mit dem Ziel der Energieeffizienzsteigerung) - Einsatz von Kommunikationsstandards und Informationsmodellen für Smart-Grid-Infrastrukturen (bspw. im Umfeld von Energie-Marktplätzen oder der Steuerung von Anlagen im Feld) Termine Einreichung von Beiträgen: 25.04.2010 Mitteilung über Annahme/Ablehnung: 24.05.2010 Abgabe der fertigen Druckvorlagen: 03.07.2010 Veranstaltung des Workshops: 28.09.2010 Einreichung von Beiträgen Bitte reichen Sie Ihren Beitrag über das Konferenzsystem ConfISS [http://139.18.8.225:8080/ConfISS/] ein.

Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)hofstra.edu> An: itc(a)comsoc.org <itc(a)comsoc.org> The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2010) <http://people.hofstra.edu/Habib_M_Ammari/WiMAN_Workshop2010.html>http://people.hofstra.edu/Habib_M_Ammari/WiMAN_Workshop2010.html In conjunction with ICCCN 2010 Zurich, Switzerland, August 2-5, 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop Objectives Recently, wireless mesh and ad hoc networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade of research efforts in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introduction of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] MobiCom/MobiHoc 2010 CHANTS Workshop Initial CFP Datum: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 15:57:23 +0100 Von: Pan Hui <ben(a)net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, brenton(a)cs.wisc.edu Dear Colleagues, Please find our initial announcement for CHANTS 2010. This year it will be colocated with ACM MobiCom/MobiHoc 2010 Fifth Workshop on Challenged Networks (CHANTS 2010) September 2010, Chicago, USA Challenged networks comprise those situations where communication is desired, but traditional internet protocol architectures fail to provide it effectively. Such networks may be characterized by a heterogeneous mix of nodes, nodal churn, and widely varying network conditions. Common examples of challenged networks include high delay environments such as inter-planetary networks, limited power environments such as sensor and wildlife monitoring networks, and communication in settings that lack infrastructure such as rural and remote areas, and military battlefields. Challenged networks may also be found in everyday settings, when access to traditional infrastructure is restricted, expensive, overly complex, or rapidly changing. The goal of the challenged network engineer is to design and implement systems for effective and efficient communication in this diverse range of conditions. This workshop builds on the success of the four previous CHANTS workshops, and WDTN 2005. CHANTS provides an ideal venue for researchers and engineers to present cutting-edge work and results in the field of challenged networks. The workshop solicits papers and demos addressing the following topics: * Delay/disruption-tolerant networks (DTNs) * Architecture, design, implementation, and evaluation of communication systems for challenged networks * Case studies involving real challenged network solutions in various stages of development or use * Analysis and characterization of challenged networks and protocols * Applications in challenged networks * Configuration, management, and monitoring of challenged networks * Security concerns and solutions in challenged networks * Test and simulation tools for evaluating challenged network systems * Applications challenged networking techniques to communication in daily life Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. In addition, demos have been an integral part of CHANTS. Paper authors who can also run a demo of their work are encouraged to do so. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ExtremeCom 2010 - The Himalayan Expedition (In Cooperation ACM SIGCOMM) Datum: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 10:57:00 +0100 Von: Pan Hui <ben(a)net.t-labs.tu-berlin.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you receive multiple copies. Please note that the workshop is held the week after Sigcomm 2010 (which is in Delhi), so if you plan to attend Sigcomm, the extra travel expenses for ExtremeCom will be small. Also make sure to check the web site for the exciting opportunity offered to the recipient of the best student paper award. Pan Hui -------- Call for Papers and Demos for The 2nd Extreme Workshop on Communication - The Himalayan Expedition (ExtremeCom 2010) September 4-10, 2010 --In Cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM The Extreme Workshop on Communication (ExtremeCom) intends to bring together researchers and practitioners in areas related to challenged networks in order to gain experience and insight into the challenges that such environments pose for the network and the users. Such networks include delay and disruption tolerant networks, sparse sensor networks, power-efficient networking, as well as other networking paradigms for rural and remote areas. We aim to do this through a real-life experience in the Indian Himalayan region. Dharamsala, where the workshop will take place, is a well-frequented and loved destination for visitors. This mountainous town presents a unique mix of cultures and spiritual traditions and is also a starting point to a number of spectacular trekking trails. Dharamsala is also the place where Dharamsala Community Network came to life in February 2005, following the deregulation of WiFi for outdoor use in India. Built and operated by AirJaldi, a social enterprise, the network grew from 8 campuses in 2005 to over 2,000 computers spread in campuses, offices and homes within a radius of 70Km. in and around Dharamsala. AirJaldi is building additional networks in other rural locations in India. The ExtremeCom 2010 workshop is planned around AirJaldi’s Dharamsala network’s locations and facilities, thereby giving participants a great opportunity to be involved in a real-life network deployment. The workshop will start with a four-day field trip into the mountain regions around Dharamsala. During this time, participants will be given the opportunity to hike along the trails in the mountains, visit local villages and Tibetan settlements and meet the local population and users of the network. The combination of trekking and meetings will give participants a better idea of both the technical and user requirements of the network, as well as provide opportunities for informal research discussions between the participants. Participants who have their own solutions for scenarios like this will also, to as great an extent as possible, be encouraged to test and demonstrate it within this environment. (We are currently planning the mountain-based part of the workshop and some details are subject to change.) During the field trip, participants will be given the chance to work with AirJaldi to set up more relays, for example in schools along the hiking trail (details to be provided at a later stage). Upon reaching the end of the hike, we will conduct a two-day technical session in a more traditional conference venue with paper presentations and demos. The focus will still be on informal research discussions, with the hope that the recent field experience they have gone through together will give participants the ability to view and discuss the topics presented with additional insights. Authors should submit a 6-page paper outlining ideas and visions about the topics of the workshop or alternatively a 2-page proposal for a demo to be shown during the workshop. Visionary and thought-provoking papers that are likely to generate much discussion during the workshop are especially solicited. The aim of the workshop is to maintain an informal environment, where new research ideas can be discussed and developed. The accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital library. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: * Testbeds for large-scale sustainable testing of DTN systems * Real deployments of networks in extreme environments * Business and service models for networks in rural, remote, and other challenging environments * User experience research * Delay tolerant networking * Low-power and intermittent-power protocols * Mechanisms for emergency and urgent communications * Networked applications and services Due to logistics and the need to conduct the workshop in harmony with the local population and the environment, the number of participants may be limited. Priority will be given to authors of papers. ****************************** *********************************************** Important dates --------------- Submission deadline: April 30, 2010 Notification of acceptance: May 30, 2010 Registration deadline: June 30, 2010 Workshop dates: September 4-10, 2010 ***************************************************************************** Organizers ---------- General co-chairs: Anders Lindgren, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Pan Hui, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories and TU Berlin, Germany Hosts: AirJaldi.Org Local arrangements chair: Michael Ginguld, AirJaldi, India Web chair: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem, University of St. Andrews, UK Technical Program Committee: Bengt Ahlgren, Swedish Insitute of Computer Science, Sweden Elizabeth M.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Deadline extended: ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Home Networks (HomeNets) Datum: Fri, 19 Mar 2010 16:57:11 +0000 Von: Ranjita Bhagwan <bhagwan(a)microsoft.com> An: 'tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu' <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Apologies if you have received multiple copies of this email. The submission deadline for the ACM SIGCOMM Workshop on Home Networks has been extended to March 26th. http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2010/HomeNets.php Call for papers The digital home of the future is envisioned as a set of computers, consumer electronics, mobile devices and sensors that seamlessly collaborate through wired or wireless networks to share content and enrich the home user experience through advanced services. Today's reality, however, is far from that. The home networking environment is a complex mix of heterogeneous technologies, and devices, all operating independently of each other, and certainly not offering the set of services originally imagined. As the number of devices inside the home increases, and their functionality becomes more complex, we foresee complexity imposing a barrier in the adoption of technology inside homes and a lot of frustration on the part of the users that try to deal with the pain of management and debugging of home services. Existing home networks are far from fulfilling the user expectations of high Quality of Experience, advanced home services and ubiquitous access to home network resources wh ile within or away from home. HomeNets aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to share new ideas and experiences and to discuss the challenges and important questions posed by today's and future home networks. We solicit stimulating, original, previously unpublished ideas on completed work, position papers, and/or work-in-progress papers. We further encourage papers that propose new research directions or could generate lively debate at the workshop. While co-located with ACM Sigcomm, Homenets intends to solicit papers from the computer science, and networking community, as well as the HCI community that has also turned its attention to the technology barriers faced by users in their homes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Monitoring, troubleshooting and Management of Home Networks Automatic Configuration of Home Networks (DLNA, UPnP, etc) Measurement studies of Home Networking usage scenarios Home Networking applications (Internet TV, Video Streaming, Video On Demand, Games, etc). Home Networking protocols and technologies (xDSL/Cable, WiFi, Bluetooth, 3/4G, femto cells, power lines, satellite, sensor networks) Smart technologies for home utilities (e.g., smart grid). Green Home Networking Content distribution in Home Networks Home Network storage architectures Incorporation of mobile devices to Home Networks Cloud-aware Home Networking Extended Home Networks through Remote Access and Control Robustness of Home Network Devices including Virtualization Home Networks and neighborhood/community networks. Home Automation with sensor technologies Network-aware visualization tools and interfaces for Home Networks Security and privacy in Home Networks Human Computer Interfaces for Home Systems User studies on main technology problems faced by home users today Important Dates: Paper submission: Friday, March 26, 2010 [23:59 PST] Acceptance notification: Friday, April 23, 2010 Camera-ready: Friday, May 21, 2010 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

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 identifying 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 - 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: - Damianos Gavalas (dgavalas(a)aegean.gr), University of the Aegean, Greece - Grammati Pantziou (pantziou(a)teiath.gr), Technological Educational Institution of Athens, Greece - Charalampos Konstantopoulos (konstant(a)unipi.gr), University of Piraeus, Greece Paper submission instructions: This workshop will only accept for review original papers that have not been previously published and are not currently under review elsewhere.

For many applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation. There must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into the mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile smart networks, and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective. Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes) cooperatively and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not need to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered. Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers, academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant theoretical and practical solutions. Topics Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to: - Interconnection architecture aspects - Authentication and security issues - Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN - Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks - Information processing - Routing protocols for cross networks - Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks - Testbeds for integrated networks - Middlewares - Integrated applications and services for cross networks - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Distributed query processing - Integration of Body area networks to WLAN and beyond - In-network processing and aggregation - Connectivity & longevity - Location and time services - Integration of sensor networks and web-based services Submission Guidelines and Policy Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Papers are restricted to a maximum length of 6 pages, including text, figures, and references. All papers will be reviewed. Accepted and registered papers will appear in the conference proceedings. At least one author of accepted papers is required to register and attend the workshop to present the paper.

Tentative timeline and to do's: * Deadline for Paper Submission: April 16, 2010 * Submit through http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8875 * Good luck:) * Paper Acceptance Notification: May 17, 2010 * Camera-Ready Paper: June 18, 2010 Background: The ability to locate and seamlessly track assets in indoor/dense urban environments without access to GPS is a complex and challenging task mainly due to the harsh multipath environment and the high probability of non-line of sight (NLOS). The value of accurate range/position information is the key requirement for many emerging applications in the public safety, commercial, and residential domains, such as locating firefighters or objects and instruments in warehouses and hospitals. As a result, of interest to the workshop will be NLOS identification and mitigation algorithms that show great promise in identifying troublesome channel conditions that can be mitigated or even eliminated to improve location accuracy. In addition, propagation measurement campaigns and modelling studies as well as testbeds are fundamental to the problem and will be highly valuable to the research community. While extracting accurate location information is fundamental to the design of positioning systems, cooperative and cognitive positioning algorithms exploiting short range communication links can enhance robustness. Geo-location information can also serve as complementary data to estimate and predict critical parameters for improving wireless communication networks. In cognitive radio networks, geo-location and context-aware algorithms can support sensing methods to overcome e.g. the hidden node problem. Machine learning techniques take advantage of heterogeneous networks to track mobile nodes using cooperative or non-cooperative sensor networks using the geo-location information. The goal of the workshop is to solicit the development of new positioning algorithms based both on (indoor) wireless communications and (outdoor) satellite navigation systems as well as new position-aware procedures to enhance the efficiency of communication networks. By bringing together academic and industrial efforts in geo-location research and location-enabled wireless communications, the workshop highlights the latest developments in: * NLOS identification & mitigation ranging/positioning algorithms; * Field tests of location systems and propagation and modeling studies for indoor ranging (TOA/RSS/AOA); * PHY/MAC algorithms/procedures for communication and positioning needs; * Positioning algorithms combined with short range ad-hoc communications; * Signal processing techniques for (seamless) indoor/outdoor localization; * Cooperative, cognitive, and machine learning techniques in heterogeneous wireless communication and sensor networks; * Hybrid positioning using both wireless communications and satellite navigation systems; * Active and passive localization/communication systems for RFID applications.
