[Tccc] Last 3 days - CFP: Symposium on Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks, ISSNIP 2009
by Ozlem Durmaz Incel 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Apologies for cross-postings Submission due in 3 days, August 7, 2009. ---------------------------- CFP: Symposium on Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks, 5th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Sensors, Sensor Networks and Information Processing (ISSNIP 2009) http://www.issnip.org/2009/symposia.html#TheoPractWSN 7-10 December 2009, Melbourne, Australia Call for Papers =============== Research in the field of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) has come a long way since it began around a decade ago. While there have been numerous small-scale WSN test bed implementations by the research community, large-scale implementations, involving hundreds or even thousands of nodes which are static or mobile are still unheard of. This symposium focuses on the theoretical and practical challenges faced when dealing with large-scale wireless sensor networks involving static and/or mobile nodes. Networks which scale thousands of static and/or mobile nodes need to possess a number of inherent characteristics in order to function properly. For example, scalability and distributed operation are essential characteristics for any large scale deployment. WSNs will only be widely adopted, if end-users are given guarantees about the operation of the system. Thus providing QoS guarantees is very important. However, providing such guarantees can be very difficult especially when one considers the unreliability of wireless links in WSNs. As resources such as energy, bandwidth, memory and computational power are highly constrained, novel techniques are required to manage the resources by maximizing the usage of cross-layer information, in order to guarantee the operation of the network in accordance with the end-user's requirements. The fact that manually administering every node individually is impossible, makes it vital for the system to have self-organizing and self-learni ng capabilities in every section of the protocol stack. Heterogeneity is another characteristic that makes the overall network architecture more robust and efficient. This symposium seeks papers that present novel solutions to the problems listed above. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Networking protocols (MAC, Routing, Transport, Time synchronization, QoS, Mobility support) - Sensor information processing (Calibration, Adaptive sampling, Signal processing) - Distributed algorithms for data management (Querying, Data aggregation, Coding, Storage) - Theoretical and simulation-based modelling (Mobility models, Fundamental bounds and formulations) - In-network data interpretation (Event detection and classification, Context-awareness, Adaptive recognition algorithms, On-line training and learning) - Sensor-actuator coordination (Heterogeneous architectures, Distributed control) - System support (Operating systems, Network monitoring and management, Network reprogramming, Simulation and debugging tools) - Services (Service-oriented architectures, Service discovery, Localization and tracking, Security) - Real-world experiences (Novel applications, Deployments, Experimental testbeds, Measurements) Important dates =============== Paper submission due : August 7, 2009 (extended) Notification of acceptance : September 14, 2009 Camera-ready due : October 5, 2009 Conference date : December 7-10, 2009 Committee ========= Symposium Chair: Paul Havinga Organizing Committee: Supriyo Chatterjea, Raluca Marin-Perianu, Özlem Durmaz Incel Technical Programme Committee ============================= Scott Bainbridge, Australian Institute of Marine Science, Australia Erdal Çayirci, University of Stavanger, Norway Chun Tung Chou, University of New South Wales, Australia Arie Croitoru, University of Alberta, Canada Stefan Dulman, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Wendi Heinzelman, Rochester University, USA Bhaskar Krishnamachari, University of Southern California, USA Clemens Lombriser, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Mihai Marin-Perianu, University of Twente, The Netherlands Ian Marshall, Lancaster University, UK Nirvana Meratnia, University of Twente, Netherlands Tim Nieberg, University of Bonn, Germany Stephan Olariu, Old Dominion University, USA Volkan Rodoplu, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA Kay Römer, ETH Zürich, Switzerland Winston Seah, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Tim Wark, CSIRO, Australia Michele Zorzi, University of Padova, Italy Marco Zuniga, National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland For further information, please refer to: http://www.issnip.org/2009/index.html _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) is a promising technology that handles the mobility management and provides the seamless mobile communications. It is expected that MIPv6, as a standard for mobile communication, will open the Mobile Internet Age. In MIPv6, it has been observed that mobility for mobile devices can be more efficiently handled if mobility management is broken down into localized mobility management and global mobility management. Therefore, host-based approaches such as Fast-Handovers for MIPv6 (FMIPv6) and Hierarchical MIPv6 (HMIPv6) have been proposed for localized mobility management. In addition, Proxy MIPv6 (PMIPv6) has been presented for the network-based localized mobility management (NETLMM), which does not require mobile devices to be involved in the signaling for mobility management. This workshop will focus on the challenges and solutions for MIPv6 with an emphasis on PMIPv6 and NETLMM, which have recently gained considerable attention. The MobiWorld workshop will provide an opportunity for academic and industry professionals to discuss the latest issues and progress in the area of MIPv6 and NETLMM. In addition, the workshop will publish high quality papers which are closely related to the various theories and practical applications in MIPv6 and NETLMM. Furthermore, we expect that the workshop and its publications will be a trigger for further related research and technology improvements in this important subject. == Topics (included, but are not limited to)== - Communications network architecture for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Efficient handover mechanism in MIPv6 and NETLMM - Enhanced route optimization for MIPv6 and NETLMM - QoS protocol in MIPv6 and NETLMM - Performance model for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Applications and services based on MIPv6 and NETLMM - Security issues and protocols for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Security threats and model for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Privacy and trust for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Key management and authentication for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Access control for MIPv6 and NETLMM - AAA Infrastructure for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Early binding update and credit based access control for MIPv6 and NETLMM - Personal or Cellular communications services based on MIPv6 and NETLMM - Successful MIPv6 and NETLMM deployment - Mobility support for the next generation internet - Mobile IP for business - Mobility management for wireless network - Implementing mobile IP enterprise management solution - Integrating mobile data services into enterprise infrastructure - Others and emerging new topics == International Committee == *General Co-Chairs Victor C.M.

Internet social network applications such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. are providing valuable social information on contacts and their relationships. Wireless and mobile devices which are capable of creating, storing, processing, forwarding and sharing content are socially connected in a new radical networking and adaptive architecture harnessing the social behavior and mobility of the users. Thus, SocNets enable the pervasive connectivity without the need to maintain fully connected always-on networks. Such SocNets communities trigger exciting research interests in collaborative systems arising from the analysis of the structure and properties of SocNets. The use of private social information provides additional avenues for new networking operations --- for example, problems that allow the exploitation of SocNets to solve network and system security vulnerabilities, and how these new social network solutions can shape the design of secured distributed systems and networks; development of cross-layered architecture for diverse pervasive applications to distribute user-generated content based on social relationships and behaviors; etc. It also requires the cross-disciplinary research integration of computer science and engineering, biology, physics, anthropology, social sciences, etc. The goal of this special session is to catalyze cross-disciplinary research discussions that are of relevance to new and novel computer networking ideas, applications and experimental results in the area of SocNets. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include (but are not limited to) the following: -- Implications of social networking on future network architecture -- System design for social networks -- New social science of networks -- Physical and virtual social networks -- Social-based mobility -- Mobile and pervasive social networks -- Social community-based communication -- Real world applications of social network analysis and theory -- New social-inspired content creation and distribution networks -- New aspects of trust, privacy and security systems in social networking -- Data confidentiality and integrity in social networks Important Dates -- Submission Deadline: August 15, 2009 -- Acceptance Notification: September 10, 2009 Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit regular technical papers or position papers. The position papers should present novel technologies at an early stage of development or share future vision. All submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts should not exceed five (5) pages in double-column IEEE format. Please submit the paper through EDAS. Formatting details can be found under Submission Guidelines on the CCNC website.

[Tccc] CALL FOR PAPERS: LOCAN, 14-16, Dec. 2009, China
by Guoliang Xing 02 Aug '09

02 Aug '09

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS LOCAN 2009 The 5th International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/locan2009 In conjunction with MSN, 14-16, Dec. 2009 Wu Yi Mountain, China Subject and Purpose of the Workshop ----------------------------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The workshop scope includes network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques Topics of Interest ------------------ We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control for ad hoc networks * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting in ad hoc networks * Geocasting and anycasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management in ad hoc networks * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions Submissions ----------- Papers must not exceed 8 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be included in the MSN main proceedings and will be published by the IEEE Press and EI-indexed. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format) through EasyChair "http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=locan09". For submission-related questions, please contact program co-chairs.

[Tccc] ReArch'09 Workshop (co-located with ACM CoNEXT) - deadline extended to August 13
by Tilman Wolf 31 Jul '09

31 Jul '09

ReArch'09 Workshop - Re-Architecting the Internet Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/rearch Extended Submission Deadline: August 13, 2009 Submit at: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673 The Internet architecture has been remarkably successful in allowing a planet-scale internetwork to form. However, this architecture is losing its original simplicity and transparency as new classes of applications, business models, security mechanisms, scalability enablers and operational and management requirements give rise to point solutions that extend the architecture without regards to its original design principles. Although these developments are necessary in the short term to allow the Internet to continue to operate under the present economical, technical and social conditions, in combination, they have significantly reduced the potential for longer-term evolution of the Internet architecture. This loss of flexibility is already being felt as the number of Internet nodes grows by another order of magnitude. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives are underway in Europe, the Americas and Asia, and the vendor and network operator communities are also actively discussing the limitations of the current Internet architecture as well as its potential evolution. The first solution proposals in this space have already started to be analyzed. ReArch'09 - the second instance of this workshop since its very successful debut at CONeXT 2008 - will discuss the underlying problems of the Internet architecture and protocols and debate how we might fix them in a way that regains us the original architectural simplicity and clarity of the Internet for another 30+ years. This workshop solicits original, high-quality papers that analyze and discuss ideas for a new Internet architecture, including specific improvements to current Internet protocols, especially at the internetworking, transport and application layers, new internetworking components that integrate into the existing architecture and ideas for clean-slate internetworking architectures. Topics ReArch'09 covers all aspects related to the current and future Internet architecture including, but not limited to, the following impact: * New networking paradigms * New business models * New routing architectures * New traffic engineering and congestion control mechanisms * Measurements and analyses that characterize and quantify architectural limitations * New architecture proposals and their implications for research and operations * New protocols to address specific architectural limitations * Studies of interactions between stakeholders of the Internet and the architecture itself * Design principles and interfaces to accommodate the conflicting interests of stakeholders in the architecture * Principles of evolving future architectures * Discussions on interworking with the existing Internet and deployability Papers that present interesting, fresh ideas at an early stage are more suitable for this workshop than highly polished results or incremental refinements of previous work. Submissions may include position papers that point out new directions and attempt to stimulate discussion; position papers should be clearly marked as such. Submission must be original and not already be published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The proceedings of the workshop will be published in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, appendices, etc. They must be formatted according to the standard ACM double column format *except* that *all* text must use a font size of 10 points or larger. Longer submissions will not be reviewed. The review process is single-blind. Submit papers via EDAS at http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673 Submission Deadline: August 6, 2009 Notification Deadline: September 10, 2009 Camera Ready Deadline: October 1, 2009 ReArch'09: December 1, 2009 Committees Workshop Co-Chairs Lars Eggert, Nokia Research Center & TKK, Finland Tilman Wolf, University of Massachusetts, USA Technical Program Committee Bengt Ahlgren, SICS, Sweden Mark Allman, ICSI, USA Bob Briscoe, BT Group, United Kingdom Brian Carpenter, University of Auckland, New Zealand Jon Crowcroft, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Kevin Fall, Intel Research, USA Pierre Francois, UC Louvain, Belgium James Griffioen, University of Kentucky, USA Robert Hancock, Roke Manor Research, United Kingdom Mark Handley, University College London, United Kingdom Hiroaki Harai, NICT, Japan Daniel Massey, Colorado State University, USA Martin May, Thomson Research, France Akihiro Nakao, Univeristy of Tokyo, Japan Pekka Nikander, Ericsson Research Nomadiclab, Finland Craig Partridge, BBN Technologies, USA George Rouskas, North Carolina State University, USA Peter Steenkiste, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Christian Vogt, Ericsson Research, USA Klaus Wehrle, RWTH Aachen, Germany Rolf Winter, NEC Network Labs, Germany Martina Zitterbart, University of Karlsruhe, Germany Steering Committee Marcelo Bagnulo, University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain Olivier Bonaventure, UC Louvain, Belgium Kenjiro Cho, IIJ, Japan Joe Touch, USC/ISI, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Multimedia Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Datum: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 11:03:33 -0400 Von: Tommaso Melodia <tmelodia(a)eng.buffalo.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS AD HOC NETWORKS (ELSEVIER) JOURNAL Special Issue on MULTIMEDIA AD HOC AND SENSOR NETWORKS http://www.elsevierscitech.com/pdfs/cfp_adhoc0709.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------- Multimedia applications enabled by quality-aware wireless multi-hop networks include online gaming, video conferencing, video streaming, mobile TV, and peer-to-peer streaming. In addition, they include monitoring applications such as video surveillance, traffic enforcement and control systems, advanced health care delivery, structural health monitoring, and industrial process control. In spite of the increasing demand for multimedia wireless networking, we are still lacking a clear understanding of analytical and computational techniques, as well as best practices, to design resource allocation schemes, communication protocols, and self-organization algorithms for wireless multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks that will deliver, in a predictable and quantifiable fashion, the quality of service and experience required by the end user. In addition, while significant advances in physical layer techniques offer new opportunities for cross-layer optimizations designed to satisfy application needs, efforts to leverage these techniques from a networking perspective to support the needs of multimedia traffic demands in multi-hop wireless networks are still at initial stages. In particular, dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radios, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques, ultra-wide-band and cooperative communications, among other techniques, will have a profound impact on our ability to flexibly and predictably deliver multimedia content over wireless networks. Finally, with a few exceptions, processing of multimedia content has mostly been approached as a problem isolated from the network-design problem. However, in-network processing and delivery of multimedia content are not independent and their interaction has a major impact on the levels of quality of service (QoS) that can be delivered. Hence, it is necessary to develop flexible and self-organizing architectures and algorithms to flexibly perform in-network processing of multimedia contents. This special issue solicits papers on all aspects of multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks, with a primary focus on three key aspects. First, content-aware cross-layer design and resource allocation techniques, as well as new networking protocols based on metrics associated with quality of service/video/experience are of particular interest. Second, original papers examining networking aspects that leverage advances in physical and multiple access techniques to support multimedia traffic are particularly welcome. Third, papers investigating the interdependencies between multimedia in-network processing and networking aspects are sought, e.g., architectures and techniques to store, process in real-time, correlate and fuse multimedia data originating from heterogeneous sources. 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 multimedia content delivery over ad hoc and sensor networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures and applications for multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks - Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming - Distortion and quality/experience-aware cross-layer design - Optimization techniques for multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks - Capacity modeling - Quality-aware medium access control, scheduling, routing, and transport - Quality-aware resource management and admission control - Cross-layer design for P2P streaming - Experimental and testbed-based studies - Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design - Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design - Multimedia traffic on cognitive radio networks - Cooperative communication techniques for real-time video streaming - MIMO techniques for multimedia delivery - Physical layer technologies for efficient delivery of multimedia content - Secure multimedia communications - Joint multimedia processing and communication - Compressed sensing for multimedia sensor networks - Distributed source/video coding and multimedia processing Submission Instructions: Prospective Authors: Please follow the Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/. Please select Article Type: ³SI: Multimedia Ad Hoc And Sensor Networks². Papers must be in single-column format, double-spaced, and use at least 11 pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including references.

Summary and Topics: Thanks to technological advances, wired and wireless sensor networks are attracting an increasing attention that promotes their large-scale deployments in many applications, such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and scientific exploration. Continuous improvements are motivating works in addressing specific sensor network issues spanning hardware, network protocols, architecture, operating systems, and applications. Furthermore, emergent needs to fulfill a variety of heterogeneous requirements are highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary networks that control their processing and manage their resources by means of self-organizing techniques. These techniques particularly require sharing the decision-making process over hundreds of low-power, short lifetimes sensors. The achievement of this goal is still facing an urgent and challenging question on how to provide these spatially distributed sensors with reasonable autonomy that help them in performing the right action, at the right time for the sake of fulfilling current requirements while increasing the lifetime of the entire sensor network and guaranteeing reliable and enduring pathway communications. Automating the sensor network activities is also an urgent and challenging issue especially that commonly sensing devices are operating unattended in remote and hostile areas where manual maintenance is nearly impossible. Since predefined and late decisions do not help much in improving the efficiency of networked sensing devices, automation and autonomy are very important mechanisms in addressing upcoming developments that target multi-services, collaborating, or competing sensor networks. To reach these goals, the second International Workshop on Automated and Autonomous Sensor Networks is seeking novel ideas in the following topics that include, but not limited to: - Heterogeneous sensor networks - Multi-service sensor networks - Sensor network control - Automated sensing activities - Competing sensors or sensor networks - Collaborating sensors and sensor networks - Semantic-based management of sensor networks - Resource management in sensor networks - Context awareness in sensor networks - Self-organization and self-adaptation in sensor networks - New architectures and protocols for sensor networks - Sensor network maintenance - Intelligent sensors and sensor networks - Data management in sensor networks - Data and resource sharing in sensor networks - Quality of Service in sensor networks - Sustainable sensor networks - Decision Support Systems for Sensor Networks - Virtual Environment for Supporting Sensor Networks - Sensor Networks on the Web - Sensor networks for a sustainable development - Autonomous/Intelligent social sensor networks - Autonomous/Intelligent sensor networks for supporting social networks - Sensor networks for an autonomous/intelligent management of spatial resources - Sensor networks for an autonomous/intelligent risk management - New sensor network applications Important Dates: Submission deadline: July 31st 2009 Acceptance notification: September 5th 2009 Camera ready papers: September 15th 2009 Submission Guidelines: (http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/09/guidelines.php) Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 2 peer reviewers. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper.

Extended Submission Deadline - International Workshop on the Future Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices
by Jens Schmutzler 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE EXTENSION International Workshop on the Future Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices <http://www.fits2009.ist-more.org> held in conjunction with FIS2009 <http://www.fis2009.org> Berlin, Germany, September 1st, 2009 Extended Paper submission deadline: August 10th, 2009 Scope: The Future Internet of Things aims at providing pervasiveness of the Internet by integrating smart embedded devices into every days life processes. This leads to a highly distributed network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices. With the increase of heterogeneity, it becomes very difficult to insure interactions with devices in a unified manner. Enabling seamless convergence and interoperability of heterogeneous devices will be one of the key factors to the success of the Future Internet of Things. Moreover the Future Internet requires intelligent interaction with the environment leading to the emergence of wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There is a need for those networks to provide their information in an interpretable form and to reduce the complexity of accessing sensor services for applications or other systems. The challenge lies in developing and selecting the right software frameworks, architectures, and protocols to publish embedded services via the Internet. Web technologies have been used to provide an interface to distributed services. This approach and the need for adaptable interfaces asks for service oriented middleware approaches providing common base functionality for service interaction and communication such as interface description languages, and marshalling mechanisms. In addition, middleware solutions for embedded systems need to monitor, and manage quality of service aspects, such as response time, resource consumption, throughput, availability, reliability and security. While web services being a standard and widely adopted technology for the standard Internet, embedded systems as the worker nodes for the Internet of Things need to catch up in utilizing these technologies. Embedded distributed systems can implement service oriented architectures as a promising approach to solve the complexity of distributed embedded applications and propagate web services as a cross-domain technology. Wireless sensor/actor networks, where the sensors are connected to and controlled by embedded systems may benefit from this approach, where services encapsulate the functionality and provide unified access to the functionality of the system through a middleware layer. The goal of this workshop is to bring together industrial or academic researchers and developers interested in connecting limited embedded (web) services and/or sensor networks with the Internet in order to build the Internet of Things. Through paper presentations and discussions, this workshop will contribute to the exchange of knowledge and ideas, dissemination of results about completed and on-going research projects, as well as identification and analysis of remaining open research issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectural Issues in Future Internet of Things * Real world applications and scenarios for embedded web services * Interoperability of heterogeneous systems * Event-driven SOAs & Device-centric SOA * Service creation, deployment, life cycle management * Tool support for service creation, validation and testing * Enterprise application integration * Protocols for efficient message transmission to embedded devices * Web services and Middleware for embedded environments * SOA-based integration of IT systems in the healthcare enterprise * Web services executing in mobile or pervasive environments * Distributed sensor networks for remote monitoring and surveillance * Web services for field bus systems Submission Instructions Papers have to be submitted electronically, through the EasyChairSystem: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fits2009 Papers should be written in English and should be no more than 6 pages for full papers and 4 pages for short papers (font Times 11pt).

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: August 10, 2009 !!!) Wireless Personal Communications: An International Journal (Springer) Special issue on: Adaptive Communication in Wireless Networks Wireless communication technologies are undergoing rapid advancements. The last few years have experienced a steep growth in research on wireless networks having attractive claims. Researchers are currently envisioning different attractive properties of wireless systems such as the ability to self-organize, self-configure, self-heal, self-manage and self-maintain. These systems are increasingly becoming dynamic and they are expected to perform many tasks autonomously by adapting to the dynamics of the networks. With the wide range of applications that need to be supported in these systems, there exists increasing expectations about what the current and the future generation networks can do. Many of these requirements are pivoted in the ability of the networks to adapt to the network dynamism. Adaptation to changing environments, in turn, often leads to increased performance of the networks. This Special Issue aims to publish high quality research papers relating to different aspects of adaptive communication in wireless networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, all aspects of adaptive communication in: . Broadband wireless access networks . Wireless Internet . Software defined radio . Bluetooth technology . Ultra-wide band radio . Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks . Wireless Mesh Networks . IEEE 802.11/802.20/802.22 . Emerging wireless network security issues .

Free Registration is open till 1st October 2009. ************************************************************************************** _Purpose of this workshop _The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. Personalized Networks is one such future oriented concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN, sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks, vehicular networks and the Internet together onto one platform under one broader vision of future (4G) communication networks. The idea is to enable continuous and seamless connectivity of all the personal devices of a user, information sources, and network enabled controllers in an unobtrusive way, regardless of where these entities are located - be they local or remote. It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with their associated accessories somewhere on the Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet presence that has become a prominent concept in the last decade. This advanced overlay network is strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc, intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly virtual intelligent personal assistant to its owner. It is a personal distributed environment, global in scope that can co-exist on the present day Internet with its active participation. Such a platform enables many new applications, especially for users with rapidly changing communication demands that often operate in various contexts simultaneously. It can also provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today. There are numerous issues which are challenging to the communication network community in realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them arise from the lack of current technology to deal in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile nature of the entities, the unpredictable topology of the network, the power constraints of the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the networking and link-level technologies. Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields new architectures, protocols, algorithms, platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of addressing, routing, resource and service discovery, the self-organization of the network, the localization of the devices/person, the complex security and privacy requirements, the offering of context aware services and service management. Many of these issues, ventured upon earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) and mobile network research initiatives, need to be reconsidered in this case. These technologies have to meet strict requirements with respect to user perception, viable business models, usage of communication bandwidth, protocol complexity, robustness, availability of links and infrastructure, dependability and trust. _Scope of the submission _We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. * Architectural framework of personalized networks * Personalized Network Applications * Personal Communications in the next generation Internet * Personal Networks for rural areas * Context Awareness * Resource, service and context discovery * Self-organization and adaptation * Addressing and routing * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Security, privacy and anonymity * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use * Dependability * Application-driven communication substrates * Personalized networks for group oriented networking * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued _Why should you participate in this workshop? _Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program would consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged. _Submission Instructions _Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Papers should be submitted in a .pdf or .ps format to the EDAS paper submission website. A separate cover sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. At least one author of accepted papers is required to register at the full registration rate. _Important Dates _Paper Submission Deadline: *August 23, 2009 *Notification of Acceptance: *September 21, 2009 *Camera-Ready Submissions: *October 1, 2009 *_Conference Committees _General chairperson Ignas Niemegeers, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands Program Co-Chairpersons Sonia Heemstra de Groot, University of Twente, Netherlands Magda El Zarki, University of California, Irvine, USA Publicity Chairperson Paolo Bellavista, Università degli Studi di Bologna, Italy Contact Information Email: wpn(a)ewi.tudelft.nl Technical Program Committee Paolo Bellavista, Università degli Studi di Bologna, Italy Raouf Boutaba, University of Waterloo, Canada Milind M Buddhikot, Bell Laboratories, New Jersey, USA Mainik Chatterjee, University of Central Florida, USA Carlos Cordeiro, Intel, USA Frank den Hartog, TNO, Netherlands Piet Demeester, Ghent University, Belgium Sudhir Dixit, Nokia, Boston, USA Vasilis Friderikos, King's College London, UK Carmelita Görg, University of Bremen, Germany K.

Please, find attached the CfP below. More information can be found at http://www.iwsos2009.ethz.ch/index.html Best Regards, Bernhard Plattner (General Chair) Thrasyvoulos Spyropoulos (Program Co-Chair) Karin Anna Hummel (Program Co-Chair) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS: 4th IFIP International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2009) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To be held at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, December 9-11 *Workshop Scope* IWSOS 2009 is the fourth workshop in a series of annual workshops dedicated to self-organization in networks and networked systems. The necessity for and expected benefit of self-organization is caused by the growing scale, complexity, and heterogeneity of future networked systems, like the future Internet. Future networks will form complex networks integrating wired and wireless infrastructures with mobile ad-hoc, and sensor networks that could be spontaneously deployed in hostile environments, have a dynamic population and a potentially short life time. In spite of this, there will be stringent user requirements, such as high availability and real-time guarantees. Although self-organization is desirable for these kinds of networks, it is not yet clear to what extent self-organization can be exploited. Research into networked systems started a few years ago to systematically investigate self-organization and has lead to a multitude of open research issues. The applicability of well-known self-organizing techniques to specific networks and networked systems is being investigated, as well as adaptations and novel approaches inspired by cooperation in nature and evolutionary dynamics, sociology, and game theory. Additionally, models originating from areas like control theory and complex systems research, are being applied to networked systems to analyze their controllability and behavior. Aspects of engineering self-organizing networked systems are studied that draw on approaches like programmable networks, and tools and frameworks for deploying, testing, and monitoring self-organizing networks. The role of self-organization in the future Internet and the impact on its architecture is an important topic, as well as the application of self-organization in future intelligent transportation systems and vehicular ad-hoc networks. Building on the success of its predecessors, this workshop aims at bringing together leading international researchers to create a visionary forum for discussing the future of self-organization in networked systems. Topics include, but are not limited to the following. *Key Topics* - Self-organization and self-management - Self-configuration and self-optimization - Self-protection, -diagnosis, and -healing - Applications, e.g. the self-organizing home network - Self-organization in peer-to-peer, sensor, ad-hoc and vehicular networks - Control theory based models and approaches to self-organization - Applications of game theory for self-organization - Bio-inspired and socially inspired models of self-organization - Group-forming networks and techniques - Programmable and cognitive networks as a basis for self-organization - Visualization of network state - Self-organization for Quality of Service - Resilience, robustness and fault tolerance for networked systems - Security in self-organizing networked systems - Self-organization in heterogeneous network convergence - Evolutionary principles of the (future, emerging) Internet - Self-configuring place-and-play sensor/mobile networks - Methods for configuration and management of large, complex networks - Risks of self-organization - The human in the loop of self-organizing networks *Paper Submission* IWSOS invites submission of manuscripts as full or short papers that present original research results, and that have not been previously published or are currently under review by another conference or journal. Any previous or simultaneous publication of related material should be explicitly noted in the submission. All papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three members of the international TPC and judged on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Click here (http://www.iwsos2009.ethz.ch/index.html) for detailed information for authors. *Full Papers* Submissions should be full-length papers up to 12 pages using the LNCS style, including all figures and references, and must include an abstract of 100-150 words. *Short Papers* Submissions should be position papers, challenging papers, and papers presenting first or late results up to 6 pages length (LNCS style, including all figures and references), and must include an abstract of 100-150 words. *Proceedings* The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must attend IWSOS 2009 to present the paper. *Posters and Demonstrations* To complement the main technical programme of IWSOS 2009, we are soliciting extended abstracts (up to two pages, LNCS style) that describe posters and demonstrations that will be presented at an informal session during the workshop. This session should provide a platform to present and discuss work-in-progress and demonstrations. The abstracts will be collected and made available at the event.

International Workshop on the Future Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices
by Jens Schmutzler 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on the Future Internet of Things and Services - Embedded Web Services for Pervasive Devices <http://www.fits2009.ist-more.org <http://www.fits2009.ist-more.org/> > held in conjunction with FIS2009 <http://www.fis2009.org <http://www.fis2009.org/> > Berlin, Germany, September 1st-3rd, 2009 Paper submission deadline: August 3rd, 2009 Scope: The Future Internet of Things aims at providing pervasiveness of the Internet by integrating smart embedded devices into every days life processes. This leads to a highly distributed network of devices communicating with human beings as well as other devices. With the increase of heterogeneity, it becomes very difficult to insure interactions with devices in a unified manner. Enabling seamless convergence and interoperability of heterogeneous devices will be one of the key factors to the success of the Future Internet of Things. Moreover the Future Internet requires intelligent interaction with the environment leading to the emergence of wireless sensor networks connected to the Internet. There is a need for those networks to provide their information in an interpretable form and to reduce the complexity of accessing sensor services for applications or other systems. The challenge lies in developing and selecting the right software frameworks, architectures, and protocols to publish embedded services via the Internet. Web technologies have been used to provide an interface to distributed services. This approach and the need for adaptable interfaces asks for service oriented middleware approaches providing common base functionality for service interaction and communication such as interface description languages, and marshalling mechanisms. In addition, middleware solutions for embedded systems need to monitor, and manage quality of service aspects, such as response time, resource consumption, throughput, availability, reliability and security. While web services being a standard and widely adopted technology for the standard Internet, embedded systems as the worker nodes for the Internet of Things need to catch up in utilizing these technologies. Embedded distributed systems can implement service oriented architectures as a promising approach to solve the complexity of distributed embedded applications and propagate web services as a cross-domain technology. Wireless sensor/actor networks, where the sensors are connected to and controlled by embedded systems may benefit from this approach, where services encapsulate the functionality and provide unified access to the functionality of the system through a middleware layer. The goal of this workshop is to bring together industrial or academic researchers and developers interested in connecting limited embedded (web) services and/or sensor networks with the Internet in order to build the Internet of Things. Through paper presentations and discussions, this workshop will contribute to the exchange of knowledge and ideas, dissemination of results about completed and on-going research projects, as well as identification and analysis of remaining open research issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Architectural Issues in Future Internet of Things * Real world applications and scenarios for embedded web services * Interoperability of heterogeneous systems * Event-driven SOAs & Device-centric SOA * Service creation, deployment, life cycle management * Tool support for service creation, validation and testing * Enterprise application integration * Protocols for efficient message transmission to embedded devices * Web services and Middleware for embedded environments * SOA-based integration of IT systems in the healthcare enterprise * Web services executing in mobile or pervasive environments * Distributed sensor networks for remote monitoring and surveillance * Web services for field bus systems Submission Instructions Papers have to be submitted electronically, through the EasyChairSystem: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fits2009 Papers should be written in English and should be no more than 6 pages for full papers and 4 pages for short papers (font Times 11pt).
