-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] {Spam? 5.34 } SI on “Internet of Things” in IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Datum: Sun, 17 Jan 2010 19:00:16 +0100 Von: Antonio Iera <antonio.iera(a)unirc.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP. ******************************************************************* IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? ******************************************************************* Call for Papers Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine In the last few years, a stimulating idea is fast emerging in the wireless scenario: the pervasive presence around us of a variety of "things" or "objects", such as devices, sensors, actuators, mobile phones, which, through unique addressing schemes, are able to interact with each other and cooperate with their neighboring "smart" components to reach common goals. This novel paradigm, named "The Internet of Things", continues on the path set by the concept of smart environment and paves the way to the deployment of numerous applications with a significant impact on many fields of future every-day life. In this context, logistics, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Business/Process management, assisted living, e-health are only a few examples of possible application fields in which this novel paradigm will play a leading role. How to implement this novel paradigm and how effective its introduction into citizens' every-day life is, still remains to be investigated. Key objectives of any R&D activity in the field are: efficient and effective wireless spectrum utilization, full interoperability of "smarts" devices, their adaptation and autonomous behavior, as well as trust, privacy, and security guarantees. From a wireless communications and networking perspective, the Internet of Things idea raises several challenging issues to address and technological nodes to untie. Which major technological innovations and developments are still required to enable a level of "ambient intelligence", characterized by the integration of wired and wireless "smart" components? Which sustainable standards, technologies, global communication protocols, and algorithms at the various layers of the system protocol stack (from the physical to the application layer) shall be introduced with the aim of allowing a vast amount of information to be shared amongst things and people when wireless links and technologies are involved? Which is the role of widely accepted wireless communications paradigms for peer to peer communications, machine-to-machine communications, and machine-to-network communications in a IoT perspective? Could the use of middleware mechanisms represent a feasible and effective solution to the problem of integrating Radio Frequency devices and wireless sensors into a common IoT framework? Are the proposed trust, privacy, and security models able to make people trust in these novel technologies instead of being afraid of an external surveillance and, more relevantly, are they still effective when involved "things" communicate wirelessly? An attempt to provide a partial answer to these and many other related questions will form the main scope of the present special issue. More specifically we are interested in the wireless communications and networking aspects involved by the introduction of the Internet of Things concept, and therefore solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to: * Internet of Things infrastructures, communication systems, network architectures * Mobile Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks * Network management, distributed processing (e.g. access, scheduling, radio resource management, etc.), scalability, and cooperation issues in integrated wired-wireless scenarios for the Internet of Things * Internet of Things enabling ubiquitous and wireless technologies * Security and privacy management for wirelessly communicating "things" and users * RFID technology and RFID middleware * Electromagnetic aspects related to the Internet of Things * Machine-to-machine and machine-to-network communications in the presence of wireless links * Inter-vehicle communications and seamless connectivity * Location and tracking through navigation sensors * Internet of Things applications in research projects * Standardization and regulation (e.g. spectrum allocation and radio frequency exposure protection) issues for the Internet of Things Submission of original contributions is solicited on the above topics as well as others relevant to the "Internet of Things" concept.

Fwd: Call for Papers: Workshop on Ultra-Low-Cost WSNs and their Application (ULC-WSN2010)
by Lars Wolf 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: Workshop on Ultra-Low-Cost WSNs and their Application (ULC-WSN2010) Datum: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:29:14 +0100 Von: no-reply(a)inss-conf.org An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de ULC-WSN: Workshop on Ultra-Low-Cost Wireless Sensor Networks and their Applications at the INSS'10 Website at http://www.duslab.de/ulc-wsn/ June, 2010 in conjunction with 7th International Conference in Networked Sensing Systems (INSS) Kassel, Germany, June 15 - 18, 2010 organised by the Department of Distributed and Ubiquitous systems (DUS) ToC: * Topics and Introduction * Workshop Format * Desired Outcome * Call for Papers * Organisation Topics and Introduction: The wireless sensor network (WSN) community is approaching its 10th birthday and still the killer application which will make these devices ubiquitous has eluded researchers and developers. One approach which will be investigated is that it is possible to create ingenious applications using simple technology, and that these applications can have a great impact because the technology is relatively simple. Most of the WSN literature displays great applications based on cutting-edge technology, but these applications are often prohibitively expensive due to their nature. The status quo of a networked sensing system has been based on high-cost nodes (>100 USD) and time and effort-intensive development, all of which leads to highly functional yet highly complex and expensive WSN applications. A new approach to the field is the concept of ultra-low-cost wireless sensor networks (ULC WSN) which would allow for applications of miniature ultra-low-cost wireless sensor nodes (<20 USD) as well as low-cost rapid development. These qualities come naturally at a price, which is low resources available on the nodes. As any developer knows, the most expensive part of any WSN application is the time-intensive development. Here again the ULC WSN approach foresees low-cost light-weight rapid development (<2 hours), but at the cost of application complexity (comparable to a restricted instruction set). Although low-cost sensor nodes and rapid development environments exist, application scenarios for a combination of both of them have not yet been explored. This workshop will try to explore what can be done with WSN technology designed with cost as the primary design factor. Recent developments have created the basis for unprecedentedly affordable WSN development tools which open new application spaces previously inaccessible due to the prohibitive cost of development and technology. These scenarios will be explored by encouraging participants to come up with applications based on and enabled by ultra-low-cost wireless sensor network technology. Participants will be asked to submit ideas for applications which can be implemented quickly (15 minutes or less with a configurable WSN platform) on a miniature simplistic ultra-low-cost wireless sensor network. Workshop Format: The workshop will be divided into three distinct portions. In the morning, the contributions to the workshop will be presented to the group by the authors. This will be followed by a brief evaluation of the contributions by the group and discussion based on the impact and potential of the different ideas presented, as well as resources and development effort required. After lunch, the Akiba platform will be introduced to the participants as a basis for evaluating ultra-low-cost WSN applications and a short tutorial will be given, followed by a period of hands-on wireless sensor network rapid development examples and tools. The participants will then be broken into groups, each with the task of implementing one of the ideas presented in the participant contributions. Each implementation will be evaluated by all groups to ascertain if the goal of the application could be accomplished by the developers with the restricted resources and time frame. Finally, the groups will be brought back together to share their experiences and for a discussion on the plausibility of an ultra-low-cost wireless sensor network to close the workshop. Timetable: * 09.00 - 09.30 Registration, welcome & introductions * 09.30 - 12.45 Author presentations * 12.45 - 02.00 Lunch Break * 14.00 - 15.30 Akiba platform development tutorial * 15.30 - 16.00 Coffee Break * 16.00 - 17.30 Application implementation * 17.30 - 18.00 Evaluation & wrap-up Desired Outcome: The desired outcome of this workshop is a concise statement on whether or not something along the lines of an ultra-low-cost wireless sensor network makes sense as a development tool. In order reach this point, the scenario properties must be identified which allow or prevent the use of an ULC WSN. The desired result will indicate under which conditions an ULC WSN is appropriate, in which scenarios an ULC WSN will be able to achieve satisfactory results, and which scenario parameters are prohibitive of a low-cost, low-resource, low-complexity wireless sensor networks. Call for Papers, Selection Process and Publication: Submissions are requested on the topic of ultra-low-cost wireless sensor networks and their applications. Submissions should address the questions of available platforms, potential for improvement in this field, potential application areas, developers, users, innovations which affect ULC WSN technology or any other ULC WSN related theme. Each submission should contain an idea, recommendation or example of an application of an ULC WSN. The papers should provide a method for implementing the example in 15 minutes or less with an out-of-box ULC WSN configurable platform and indicate a method for evaluating the application. Implementational examples and ideas should be original, though that is not a requirement for submission. The number of participants is limited to 15 based on the submissions. Papers should be submitted in IEEE Transaction format with a maximum of four pages. Accepted papers will be published by the Technische Universitaet Braunschweig as a technical report and on the Internet, as well as on the workshop website. Depending on the outcome of the workshop we will ask for a special submission to a journal (Personal and Mobile Computing) on the topic.

Topics of interest are the same as research topics in the SIGCOMM conference call for papers. Although anyone can submit a poster, preference will be given to posters where the primary contribution is from one or more students. Posters will be reviewed by members of the SIGCOMM Poster Session Committee. At the conference, student posters must be presented by a student. Authors of accepted papers in SIGCOMM 2009 may not submit a poster on the same work in those papers. Student Research Competition For the first time, the SIGCOMM poster session will also serve as an ACM student research competition. Qualified entrants must have current ACM student membership, have graduate or undergraduate student status at the time of submission (May 2010, below), and be submitted by a single student author. Supervisors are not permitted to coauthor the poster. Undergraduates and graduate students will be treated in separate divisions. (Students starting their first year of graduate school at the time of the conference will be considered as undergraduates.) A small travel supplement is made available to accepted entrants: please also submit applications for travel grant support. The ACM SRC program is sponsored by Microsoft Research. Winners will advance to ACM Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition to compete against the winners of other ACM conferences. Why Should You Submit a Poster? This is a great chance especially for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on ongoing research from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. In addition, some submissions will be forwarded for publication to ACM SIGCOMM's newletter, the ACM Computer Communication Review (CCR). Travel Grants for Student Posters Students who are submitting posters are highly encouraged to examine if they are eligible for student travel grants. What is a Poster? We define a poster to be A0 paper size in portrait mode (841x1189mm), to which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. Alternatively, you can use the space as a continuum. You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and important about your work. Note that you do not submit such a large-format image; only an abstract describing in text what the poster would present. What and Where to Submit Please submit a two-page abstract describing the work http://sigcomm10-posters.cs.umd.edu/. The decision will be taken primarily by reading the abstract. Submissions are single blind, so please include authors' names and affiliation. Content: The abstract should clearly state: * the problem being addressed; * what makes this problem interesting, important, and difficult; * your approach to the problem; * the key contribution. In the final version of the abstract, you should include a URL that provides additional information about your work to the attendees. Formatting: Prepare your abstract using ACM conference style, modified to 10pt. Concretely, two columns, minimum 10pt times with 0.75 inch margins and 1/3 inch space between columns. The abstract must be within the page limit and in PDF format. Word documents will not be accepted. At the conference, we will distribute the abstracts to all conference attendees.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL Special Issue on Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks]
by Lars Wolf 08 Jan '10

08 Jan '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL Special Issue on Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks Datum: Thu, 7 Jan 2010 19:49:13 -0800 (PST) Von: xu li <easylix(a)yahoo.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, sigembedded-l(a)acm.uiuc.edu, pet(a)lists.links.org, discuss(a)ieeetcsc.org, robotics-worldwide(a)usc.edu, tcpp-announce(a)cc.gatech.edu, tccn(a)comsoc.org, ahsntc(a)trlab.ca Call for Papers IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL Special Issue on Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks Paper submission: DEADLINE: February 1, 2010; Acceptance: August 2010; Tentative Publication: May 2011. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), in their various shapes and forms, have greatly facilitated and enhanced the automated, remote, and intelligent monitoring of a large variety of physical systems. These networks consist of a large number of typically small devices, each incorporating sensing, processing, and wireless communications capabilities. Their use has penetrated a plethora of application domains from industrial and building automation, to environmental, wildlife, and health monitoring. The control and systems community has played an important role in the maturing of WSNs addressing issues related to their fundamental limits and designing strategies to optimize and control their operation so as to improve performance. Performance encompasses a variety of metrics that may vary with the application but in all cases includes the network's energy use which determines its usable lifetime. As WSN nodes are powered by small batteries, energy conservation has become a very important concern. Equally importantly, the existence of WSNs has provided a major application context to theoretical contributions of the control community including cooperative and distributed control, event-based monitoring, discrete- event systems, and consensus algorithms. What is emerging as the next step in the WSN evolution is their use not only in monitoring but also in controlling a physical system. To that end, some of the WSN nodes have to be augmented by integrating actuators. Actuators can be simple devices programmed to take immediate, one-shot, action in response to sensory input, or they can be more sophisticated entities (like robots) that interact with their environment in more complex ways. The resulting augmented version of WSNs is commonly referred to as Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs). WSANs are therefore heterogeneous networks that comprise of networked sensor and actuator nodes that communicate among each other using wireless links to perform distributed sensing and actuation tasks. WSANs can be used to close loops over the network in a variety of applications, such as, environmental control, event detection and suppression, home automation, manufacturing, microclimate control, surveillance etc. The control community has recently made important contributions in understanding control over communication channels but this work has, for the most part, abstracted the communication medium. A new challenge is to consider a WSAN as the communications channel over which we seek to close control loops. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: < Autonomous sensor networks < Co-design of communication protocols and control strategies < Architectural, modeling and simulation of WSANs < Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication < Sensor-actuator and actuator-actuator coordination < Distributed control in sensor-actuator networks < Biologically inspired communication in WSANs < Applications and prototypes. Submission Details: All papers submitted to the special issue will be subject to peer review in accordance with the established practices of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. Papers that do not fall within the scope of the special issue will be returned to the authors without review, to enable them to submit them as regular papers through the normal channels. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts to either one of the guest editors. The manuscript format should follow the guidelines posted at the website: http://css.paperplaza.net/journals/tac/. Hardcopy submissions will not be accepted. Important dates: Paper submission: DEADLINE: February 1, 2010; Acceptance: August 2010; Tentative Publication: May 2011.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP Special Issue on "Opportunistic and Delay Tolerant Networks", EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Datum: Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:24:06 +0100 Von: Marcelo Dias de Amorim <marcelo.amorim(a)lip6.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please apologise if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. =================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Special Issue on "Opportunistic and Delay Tolerant Networks" http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/si/odtn.html =================================================================== Wireless and mobile computing advanced significantly in the last decade. This opens new ways for mobile users to get connected to each other. In particular, users have more and more the possibility to spontaneously establish direct links between them without the support of a preexisting infrastructure. Due to the natural mobility of the users, it is likely that the resulting topology be intermittently connected. This leads to two main issues. First, nodes must find a way to benefit from contact opportunities whenever possible. Second, given that inter-contact times are unpredictable, applications must better \textit{tolerate delays. In practice, opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks are much closer to real situations than the legacy mobile ad hoc networks. But this comes at the cost of more challenging problems, as traditional communication architectures, commonly based on the end-to-end principle, are not adapted to intermittently connected scenarios. Although the research community has provided major contributions in this area, there are still a lot of questions that remain unanswered. These questions are both related to the understanding of the fundamental aspects of such networks and how to make them become a reality and coexist with other networks. The goal of the proposed special issue is to help filling this gap by presenting contributions ranging from theoretical foundations to practical experiences in opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks. As we intend to focus on both theoretical and practical aspects of these networks, papers presenting insights covering all levels of the communication architecture will be welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectural principles of opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks. - Mathematical foundations of challenged networks. - Participatory and opportunistic sensor networks. - Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing, and building opportunistic networks. - Experimental deployments and measurement campaigns. - Investigation of new interaction patterns among users. SUBMISSION AND TIMETABLE: Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/guidelines.html.

The number of mobile phones, PDAs, NFC, RFID, smart card tokens, and other computing and portable devices requiring wireless network access has superseded that of wired ones. Wireless communications and smart devices provide many benefits such as mobility, portability and flexibility, increased productivity, and lower installation and maintenance costs. At the same time futurists are speculating about a world of ubiquitous computing and ambient intelligent, in which countless invisible sensors and actuators will communicate with each other, imminently taking care of our needs and wishes. Depending on their specific underlying operational characteristics and deployment environment, these devices have specific platform, application, and communication requirements, and they may be routinely used by millions of users and for a variety of applications. These applications include a myriad of deployment scenarios including WLAN accessibility in order to check email and obtain access to the internet or other networks, buildings and public transport networks, or even engaging into financial transactions with banks or other individuals. As the technologies of next generation wireless networks and smart devices are emerging, security has become a primary concern, in order to ensure dependable, secure communications and services to the end user. This special issue on security of next generation smart devices will present current research focusing on security-related protocols and applications, secure architecture and frameworks, along with new theories and methodologies for secure next generation wireless networks and respective smart devices.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP - ACM MobiCom 2010 Datum: Thu, 31 Dec 2009 10:38:53 -0500 Von: Karthik Sundaresan <karthiks(a)NEC-LABS.COM> Antwort an: Karthik Sundaresan <karthiks(a)NEC-LABS.COM> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG [Apologies if you receive multiple copies] MobiCom 2010 The 16th Annual International Conference on Mobile Computing and Networking Planned for September 2010, Chicago, IL, USA http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2010/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE *_ _* *_Papers_* Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and/or practice of mobile computing and/or wireless and mobile networking at the link layer and above. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms for various wireless and mobile networks, such as wireless LANs, wireless mesh networks, cellular data networks, delay-tolerant networks, mobile ad hoc networks, sensor networks, personal area networks, and vehicular networks * Design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless systems and mobile applications * Algorithms and models for wireless networks and mobile applications * Fundamental understanding of mobile computing and wireless networking * Measurements and performance evaluation of mobile and wireless networks * Cross-layer design for mobile and wireless networks ranging from the PHY layer to applications * Networks involving novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, and software radios * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for dynamic spectrum usage, white spaces, and cognitive networks * Techniques that deal with low power and energy limitations * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks * Emerging topics, e.g., social networking applications enabled by mobile and wireless networking systems MobiCom 2010 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the algorithm design. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. *_Challenges Papers_* The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These "challenges papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenges:" i.e., "Challenges: Rest of the Title." *_Submission Instructions_* All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF or PostScript version of their full paper. Papers must: 1. be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), 2. be in font size no smaller than 10 points, 3. have pages in double column format with each column having dimensions 9.25 in X 3.33 in, a space of 0.33 in between the two columns, and with no more than 55 lines of text per column, and, 4. fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5 in X 11 in). *Detailed instructions on how and where to submit your paper can be found here <http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2010/submit.html>.* This year, authors will be given the option of submitting a few slides that summarize their paper and its contributions. The slides will not be revealed to the reviewers until just before the TPC meeting. They will be used only to better facilitate discussions during the TPC meeting. More details will be made available soon. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names must not appear in the paper or in the PostScript or PDF file. Submitted papers must be original work, and a paper with substantial similarity must neither be already published, nor be currently under review for publication in any other venue. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at **mobicom_pcchairs*****acm.org***. *_Best Paper Award_* All papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The program committee will select a number of candidates for the award among accepted papers. The winner will be selected at the conference, considering both the paper and the presentation. The winner will receive a plaque and a cash award. *_Important Dates_____* Abstracts submission due: March 5, 2010 (11:59 PM PST) Paper submissions due: March 12, 2010 (11:59 PM PST) Notification of acceptance: June 21, 2010 Camera-ready version due: July 15, 2010 *_Important Note_* It is ACM policy (http://www.acm.org/pubs/rights.html) <http://www.acm.org/pubs/rights.html> not to allow double submissions, where the same paper is submitted to more than one conference/journal concurrently. Any double submissions detected will be immediately rejected from all conferences/journals involved. *_For More Information_* Please contact the General Chair or Program Co-Chairs for more information.
