-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM MONET SI on "Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks" Datum: Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:19:14 +0100 Von: Shu, Lei <lei.shu(a)deri.org> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message] ============================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS * ACM MONET special issue on "Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks" * … [View More]http://www.bodynets.org/docs/MONET-SI-UBSN-CFP.pdf ============================================================ Overview Recently, there has been a lot of increasing investigation on a new type of wireless sensor network, which is generally known as body sensor networks (BSNs). Following the continuous advances in wireless communications technologies, there is a growing interest in the design and development of BSNs systems for applications of improving people’s daily life, which leads to an increasing demand on interconnecting BSNs with other emerging wireless technologies, such as RFID technology, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiBree, video surveillance system, WPAN, WLAN, internet, and cellular network. With BSNs being incorporated into these technologies, BSNs become ubiquitous. The marketing opportunities for advanced consumer electronics and services will be expanded extensively. More and more autonomous and intelligent applications which are close to human’s life will be generated. For example, by using body sensors to collect patient information, and by deploying diverse wireless networking systems for enhanced diagnosis assistance and action handling, better E-healthcare management system can be designed for providing more desirable services, which implies huge market yet to be discovered, due to an increasing demand of E-healthcare management system in recent years. In this special issue, we solicit research papers on body sensor hardware, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, biomedical sensor data processing and management. Especially, we are interested in the following communication issues: *Intra-BSN Communication: The terminology of “intra-BSN communication” defines the communication directly relates to the user with the radio coverage of about 2 meters, which consists of two categories: (1) the communication among the body sensors, which are deployed strategically on the human body or planted inside the body, as well as attached within in the human’s clothing; (2) the communication between the body sensors and the portable personal server, which typically can be a cell phone, PDA or headset. *Inter-BSN communication: The terminology of “inter-BSN communication” defines the communication between the personal server and one or multiple access points. The access point can be deployed as a part of infrastructure, or strategically placed in dynamic environment for handling emergency situation. The inter-BSN communication will interconnect BSNs with the wide range networks which are easy to be accessed in daily life. *Beyond-BSN communication: The beyond-BSN communication is used to interconnect BSN with outside world, which enhances the application and coverage range of body sensor system a step further through pervasive communication technology, such as internet and cellular networks. The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects of Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference/special issue are solicited. Topics Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope: - New applications of ubiquitous body-sensor networks, e.g., healthcare and consumer electronics applications - Remote health/fitness monitoring in ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., location and mobility issues - Ambulatory monitoring and BSN assisted rehabilitation, bio-motion, wellbeing analysis and clinical applications - Emerging engineering issues and wearable, implantable/ingestible sensor integration and development platforms. - Scalable and flexible network architectures and deployments for ubiquitous body sensor networks - Advanced body sensor devices, e.g., novel bioelectrical, biochemical, biophysical, and mechanical sensors - Networking and data transmission issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks - Integrating emerging wireless technologies with ubiquitous body sensor networks - Integration with ambient sensors for personalized smart spaces and applications - Link to environment sensing, smart dwellings, and home monitoring - MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for Intra-BSN Communication - Standards for light-weight communication protocols and integration with heterogeneous networks - Advanced algorithms for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., routing, data processing, packet scheduling - Power efficient issues, e.g., low power RF transceivers, energy scavenging, miniaturization, system integration - Signal processing, context awareness and multi-sensory fusion - Mobile and multimedia supported ubiquitous body sensor networks - Server side body sensor networks information processing, data mining, transient pattern recognition, and long-term, predictive trend analysis - Sensor data management issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., publish-subscribe approach - Query processing and optimization for ubiquitous body sensor networks - Sensor data stream processing in ubiquitous body sensor networks - Semantic Web technology enabled ubiquitous body sensor networks - Adaptability and stability of ubiquitous body sensor networks - Transactions and workflows in ubiquitous body sensor networks - Information support, security, privacy, and fault tolerance issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks Important Dates 􀁹 Manuscript submission deadline: Feb. 20, 2010 􀁹 Notification of acceptance: May 20, 2010 􀁹 Submission of final revised paper: July 20, 2010 􀁹 Publication of special issue: 3rd or 4th Quarter, 2010 (Tentative) Submission Procedure Authors should follow the MONET Journal manuscript format at the journal site: http://www.springerlink.com/content/101750/ .

Best papers, pending further reviews, will be considered for publication in a special issue of Simulation: Transactions of The Society for Modeling and Simulation, International. Awards ---------------------------- One Best Paper and one Best Student Paper will be selected by peer reviews and will be announced during the social event at the conference. Only papers with a student as a first author are eligible for the Best Student Paper Award. Industry Track ---------------------------- SimulationWorks is the industry track of SIMUTools 2010. The goal of the industry track is to promote the results that have been applied or have a potential application in an industrial field. Submitted papers are required to have at least one author working in industry. The papers will be not so much assessed by their novelty as by their applicability and impact in different fields of industry. Authors are invited to submit either Regular Papers or Short Papers: Regular papers are 5 to 10 pages and will mainly show an application or a research on simulation Short papers are 1 to 3 pages and mainly show the views or the needs of the authors on simulation. Call for Posters ---------------------------- Authors are also invited to submit proposals for poster presentations. Please submit a ONE-page extended abstract in PDF format to posters(a)simutools.org. Accepted abstracts will be published in the Conference Proceedings.

Over the last few years Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSAN) technology appeared as an ideal technological building block to improve the reliability and availability of ICTs in critical operational environments. On the other hand WSANs themselves become part of a critical infrastructures and processes. Whenever another layer of complexity is added to a system, this opens new possibilities for system failures, misuse or malicious attacks. The critical prerequisite for WSANs to be adopted in performance critical applications is their dependability, i.e. the ability of a system to deliver specified services to the user. It is, however, by far not trivial to make WSANs dependable for variety of applications in different operation environments and having different performance requirements. For DWSAN workshop we solicit original contributions aiming at achieving dependability of WSAN technology on different layers. Experiences from real-life deployment of dependable WSANs, application dependent WSAN design methodologies, dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, general issues of reliability, security in dependable WSANs are some of the key research topics to be discussed during the workshop. The goal of the workshop is to present high-quality results in the field, and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context, the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. Workshop Topics Topics of interest to DWSAN 2009 include (but are not limited to) the following: * Real life experience from deployment of wireless sensor networks in critical applications * Methodologies for assessment of performance requirements * Methodologies for systematic design of WSAN communication architecture * Application of control theory for cross-layer optimization of dependable communication protocols for WSAN * Dependable MAC protocols * Dependable routing protocols * Dependable transport protocols * Intelligent energy and QoS management * Fault tolerant middleware for WSANs * Operating systems for dependable WSANs * Security services Proceedings This year DWSAN4CIP offers only Fast Track publication in workshop proceedings. Authors are invited to submit their contributions as a two pages extended abstract in double column IEEE format. Up to 10 best contributions will be invited to submit full papers for publication in electronic workshop proceedings. Revised and extended versions of the most outstanding papers will be suggested for publication in the International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection (Elsevier). Important Dates Paper submission: September 30, 2009 Acceptance notification: October 15, 2009 Camera ready: October 30, 2009 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc [View Less]
