[Tccc] CFP: Journal of Communications Special Issue on Multimedia Computing and Communications
by Zhai, Fan 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Call for Papers: ============================================================================ Journal of Communications, Special Issue on Multimedia Computing and Communications Manuscript Submission Deadline: September 1, 2009 http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/ ============================================================================ The growing momentum behind the deployment of broadband networks worldwide and the convergence of voice, image, video, and data offer unprecedented opportunities for various modern multimedia applications and services such as mobile TV, video conferencing, Internet gaming, interactive TV, IPTV, Open Internet video and multimedia visualization, navigation, search and retrieval. Also, the rising demand for quality service by consumers has expedited the advance of numerous new technologies for computing and communication over wired and wireless networks, ranging from video coding, communication infrastructure, content distribution protocols, quality of service (QoS) management, visual content analysis, post-processing, to interactive models. Novel video source and channel coding techniques such as scalable video coding, multiple description codes, transcoding, and network coding can certainly improve the efficiency of video transmission over the Internet. New communication architectures such as overlay network, content delivery network (CDN), peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed network can further improve video distribution and enable new services. On the other hand, IPTV over managed IP networks not only holds the promise for high quality video viewing experience that is at least as good as what is offered by today's cable/satellite TV, but also introduces new service functionalities such as time-shift viewing and interactivity. In addition, the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) provides a unified framework for multimedia service creation and deployment and supports interoperability and network convergence. Last but not the least, new wireless network technologies and video delivery mechanisms such as IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) and the 3G and 4G cellular systems become strong alternatives to their wired counterparts, allowing users to access and produce video at any time and from anywhere. In view of these advances in modern multimedia applications and services, this special issue is soliciting papers with fundamental contributions to multimedia computation and communications, in particular those addressing the challenges due to the limited computation power of client devices, the explosive growth of rich media, the complexity of content analysis and understanding, and the heterogeneity of the transport network. Topics covered include, but are not limited to, the following: * Multimedia coding, streaming, and networking * Multimedia transmission networks, systems, and applications * Novel Internet architectures, protocol and algorithms for video distribution * P2P multimedia coding, architecture, and networks * Innovative Internet video, mobile video, and IPTV services * IPTV architectures and standards * QoS management for video streaming and IPTV * Video coding, transcoding, and multiview coding * Joint source-channel video coding * Video quality assessment * Multimedia content analysis, representation, and understanding * Multimedia indexing and retrieval * Multimedia summarization and abstraction * Multimedia and multimodal signal processing, user interfaces, and interaction models Submission: Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers. Submissions should follow the author guidelines of Journal of Communications and the complete instructions for prospective authors can be found at http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/forauthors.html. For further questions or inquiries, please contact the corresponding guest editor (fzhai(a)ti.com<mailto:fzhai@ti.com>). Important Dates: Submission deadline: September 1, 2009 Author notification: November 15, 2009 Final manuscript due: January 15, 2010 Tentative publication date: 2Q, 2010 Guest Editors: Fan Zhai, Texas Instruments, USA (fzhai(a)ti.com) Homer Chen, National Taiwan University, Taiwan (homer(a)cc.ee.ntu.edu.tw) Thomas Stockhammer, Nomor Research, Germany (stockhammer(a)nomor.de) Touradj Ebrahimi, EPFL, Switzerland (touradj.ebrahimi(a)epfl.ch) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM ReArch'09 (co-located with ACM CoNEXT) Datum: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 10:46:33 +0300 Von: Lars Eggert <lars.eggert(a)nokia.com> Antwort an: ReArch'09 TPC Co-Chairs <rearch09(a)fit.nokia.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ACM ReArch'09 - Re-Architecting the Internet Co-located with ACM CoNEXT 2009 Rome, Italy, December 1, 2009 http://conferences.sigcomm.org/co-next/2009/workshops/rearch Submission Deadline: August 6, 2009 Submit at: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7673 Motivation 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

[All at car-2-car.org] IEEE Network Special Issue on "Advances in Vehicular Communications Networks"
by Carlos Jesús Bernardos Cano 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Dear all, Please find below information about a special issue very related to the C2C-CC activities. Thank you very much, Carlos IEEE Network Special Issue on "Advances in Vehicular Communications Networks" Background Vehicular communications are being applied to improve safety, decrease fuel consumption, and increase the capacity of existing roadways. Both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications are used to implement a number of promising applications such as local hazard warning, efficient route planning and coordination of traffic flows. Even truly cooperative and, therefore, extremely challenging applications like cross traffic collision avoidance are being considered. In the last years a number of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) related projects and initiatives have been carried out (or will be completed soon). In Europe, for example, the European Commission initiated the eSafety Program to reduce the road fatalities by 50% before 2010 and to improve traffic efficiency. These R&D projects have created a solid technical basis for vehicular communications, and some of them have also performed some preliminary experiences, from what some important results have been obtained ("lessons learned"), as for example the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) in the US as well as several projects in Europe. All the aforementioned research efforts and initiatives can be considered as the 'phase 1' in the development of vehicular communications networks. This phase represents an initial and very important step towards the goals of improving road safety and traffic efficiency, and providing Internet services to the vehicles. Important achievements, architectural decisions and conclusions have been the outcome of this 'phase 1', such as the development of wireless physical and MAC protocols suited for the vehicular environment (e.g. IEEE 802.11p), new network architectures (some of them not based on classical TCP/IP), etc. We are now witnessing the 'phase 2' of research and development in vehicular communications networks, a new phase in which standardization and field trials will play a key role, as well as the refinement and extension of the network architectures and protocols defined in the 'phase 1'. Scope and Contributions The goal of this special issue is to share the research developments and efforts of this new phase ('phase 2') in the vehicular communications area. Paper submissions are invited on the following topics: * Overview of state-of-the-art for vehicular communication technologies and open challenges. * Network protocols for cooperative vehicular communications, such as geonetworking (geographical routing and addressing). * Networking aspects for use of 2G/3G cellular systems for vehicular communications. * New system architectures enabling the provision of safety, traffic efficiency and infotainment services in vehicular scenarios. * Security, location privacy and reliability issues. * Integration of IP protocols into the vehicular scenario. * Standardization for vehicular communications worldwide, interoperability and harmonization issues. * Field operational tests (FOTs) for cooperative systems employing vehicular communications networks. * Regulatory aspects. Submission Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the speciality of the article. Prospective authors must prepare their article in accordance with the IEEE Network guidelines to authors, see http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html. Authors should submit their manuscript to the guest editors according to the schedule below (authors are encouraged to notify at least 15 days before deadline, their intention to submit a paper indicating title, abstract, authors and keywords). All submissions will be reviewed based on technical merit and relevance. Schedule for Submission Manuscript submission: July 15, 2009 Acceptance notification: September 15, 2009 Final manuscript due: November 1, 2009 Publication date: January 2010 Guest Editors Dr. Carlos J.

Please send it to colleagues and students of potential interest. Thanks! ACM MobiSys'09 Workshop on Hot Topics of Planet-scale Mobility Measurements (HotPlanet), Krakow, Poland, June 22, 2009 http://www.hotplanetconf.net/ Important dates: Submission deadline: May 15, 2009 Authors notification: June 2, 2009 Camera ready: June 12, 2009 Registration deadline: June 12, 2009 Workshop date: June 22, 2009 Call for papers: It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building mobile systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale mobility data. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data. For instance, the largest publicly available human contact traces contain only 100 very sparsely connected nodes, a limitation of the experimental setup. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. An analogy can be made to the field of complex networks research, which flourished since 1989 when the first large datasets from the Internet (and subsequently the World Wide Web) became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and other related fields, relevant large-scale datasets must be made available. In this workshop, we wish to challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces. We will highlight some of the issues in the hope that the community can help find solutions that can form the basis of practical experiments: the main aim is to raise these issues to gain community support to meet this challenge. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to: * Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection * Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets * Existing applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g. human dynamics characterisation and modeling * Reports of planet-scale infrastructure for data collection * Proposed business models to incentivise involvement of network operators in contributing data * Issues concerning privacy and anonymity of data collection * Regulatory and legal issues about data collection The workshop proceedings will be archived in the ACM Digital Library. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. All submissions must be in English, no more than 6 pages long, two columns (using the ACM templates), no characters smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page. Papers will be reviewed single blind. HotPlanet'09 plans to support a couple of student traveling grants.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: ACM MEDES: Call For Papers Datum: Tue, 14 Apr 2009 18:00:28 +0200 Von: ACM MEDES <acm.medes(a)gmail.com> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Dear Sorry for Cross-postings ########################################################################################### The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES 2009) Technically sponsored by both ACM SIGAPP and ACM SIGAPP.fr Chapter Technically sponsored by IEEE SMCS (pending) with the cooperation of IFIP WG 2.6 http://sigappfr.acm.org/medes October 27-30, 2009 Lyon - France Description and Objectives ------------------------------------- In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of digital medias leads to the emergence of virtual environments namely digital ecosystems composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals, organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or several missions and focusing on the interactions and inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its ´digital components¡, in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (EDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations, and tutorials and workshops.

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 6 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 MASS main proceedings and will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.

[Fwd: [Tccc] SIMPLEX 2009 - Simplifying Complex Networks CFP]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] SIMPLEX 2009 - Simplifying Complex Networks CFP Datum: Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:45:09 +0100 Von: Andrew Moore <andrew.moore(a)cl.cam.ac.uk> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call For Papers Simplex 2009 1st Annual Workshop on Simplifying Complex Network for Practitioners http://www.simplexconf.net 1st July 2009, Venice, Italy Network Science, sometimes also called "complex networks science", has recently attracted much attention from the scientific community, mainly due to the almost ubiquitous presence of complex networks in real-world systems. Examples of complex networ ks are found in living organisms, in engineering systems, as well as in social networks. Most of the real-world systems have the required degree of complexity to be called "complex systems". Complex may have to do with the intricate dynamics of the interacting components, with the non-trivial properties of the underlying network topology, or with the sheer size of the system itself. Despite the numerous workshops and conferences related to network science, it is still a set of loosely interacting communities. Those communities would benefit from better interactions. Researchers in network science can be categorized according to the theoretical school from which they come, e.g. statistical physics, game theory, information theory, distributed algorithms. Each school tackles a very particular aspect of complex systems, like statistical interactions between components, or the computation of the equilibrium of a particular system. The assumptions made by each school to apply their theoretical tools makes it very difficult for practitioners to apply their results to practical situations. Simplex is expected to trigger the communication networks community to propose the topics that should be tackled from the network science perspective, and let the network community explain how to best use their tools for practical problems of communication networks. Two types of contributions are foreseen from prospective authors. The first type would consist of use-cases of theoretical tools and methods to solve practical problems. Such contributions should be as usable as possible by practitioners in the related field. The second type of contributions would come from practitioners that have identified a problem that may be solved by tools from network sciences. The point of such contributions is to make the network sciences community aware of the importance of a high-impact problem, and to suggest means by which the problem may be solved by the network sciences community. Both contributions should stimulate interaction between theoreticians and practitioners, and also have high potential impact in either field. Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to): - Design of wired/wireless networks - Representing and analyzing dynamic networks - Network robustness to failures and attacks - Mining of large scale networks - Forwarding/routing for opportunistic network - Mobility/connectivity modeling - Anti-spam and Sybil attacks All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. All submissions must be in English. Submissions should be in PDF format and must not exceed 6 pages. After the workshop, proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag.

Based on short- and medium-range communication as well as on cellular systems, vehicular inter-networking will enable vehicular safety applications (including collision and other safety warnings) as well as non-safety applications (like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others). The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving VANET technologies presents an extraordinary challenge for the wireless research community. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular inter-networking in terms of mobility behavior, applications scenarios, and application requirements makes VANET research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Furthermore, VANET present a very active field of research, development, standardization, and field trials. Throughout the world, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. These include consortia like Vehicle Safety Consortium (US), Car-2-Car Communication Consortium (Europe), and Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (Japan), standardization efforts like IEEE 802.11p (WAVE), and field trials like the large-scale Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Program (VII) in the US. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of vehicular inter-networking (VANET). All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Medium access control protocols - Multi-channel organization and operation - Communication protocol design - Safety and non-safety applications - Vehicle-to-vehicle/roadside/Internet communication - Simulation frameworks - Field operational testing - Network management - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues Submission Instructions All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Papers must be in PDF format, no longer than 10 pages (single- or double-column), use the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and must fit properly on US Letter-sized paper (8.5 inch x 11 inch) with reasonable margins. Submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through a double-blind review process, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Detailed instructions for paper submission will be posted on the VANET 2009 web page at: http://www.sigmobile.org/workshops/vanet2009/.

V-Winets and V-ITS aim to ensure traffic safety for drivers, provide comfort for passengers and reduce transportation time and fuel consumption with many potential applications. For instance, vehicular safety applications include automatic collision notification, heavy fog detection and notification, remote diagnostics, emergency management, and other assistances for safe driving. Non-safety applications include real-time traffic congestion notification, location-based driver information services, high-speed tolling, vehicle tracking, automobile high speed Internet access, in-place traffic view, and many others. To facilitate these applications, many different types of communications and networking would be involved, including intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V), vehicle-to-roadside (V-to-R) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I) communications for V-Winet and V-ITS to provide timely information or Internet access to vehicles, drivers, and passengers. Consequently, V-Winet and V-ITS need to integrate existing networking technologies, such as IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11p, DSRC, 3G, IEEE 802.16, Bluetooth, Sensor networks, and ZigBee for easy, accurate, effective and simple communications among vehicles, users, and infrastructure networks. This special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high-quality, original, unpublished research covering all aspects of V-Winet and V-ITS communications, networking, and applications. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the followings: - Network Architecture of V-Winet/V-ITS - V-Winet/V-ITS Services and Applications - Cooperative Aspects of V-Winet/V-ITS - Availability and Scalability Issues in V-Winet/V-ITS - Mobility, Traffic Models and Network Management for V-Winet/V-ITS - Cross-layer Optimization Techniques for V-Winet/V-ITS - Modulation, Coding, and Channel Modeling for V-Winet/V-ITS - Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Protocols - Vehicle-to-Roadside Communication Protocols - Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication Protocols - Simulation Framework and Real-World Testbeds for V-Winet/V-ITS - Driving Safety and Related Applications and Services - Green Technologies and V-Winet/V-ITS *Submission Guidelines *---------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original, previously unpublished work.

Dear all, Apologies for cross-postings! The 1 May 2009 submission deadline for this JSAC special issue is coming closer: http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Calls/SimpleWirelessSensorNetworkingSolutionsCFP.p… Mischa. _____________________________ Dr Mischa Dohler Senior Researcher CTTC, Barcelona Tel: +34 93 645 2900 Fax: +34 93 645 2901 Mob: +34 6 7909 4007 www.cttc.es/home/mdohler _____________________________ Call for Papers IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) Simple Wireless Sensor Networking Solutions Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have witnessed a tremendous upsurge in recent years in both industry as well as academia. This is mainly attributed to the unprecedented opportunities they offer. However, WSNs also face significant design challenges, including their limited computing abilities and their dependence on finite battery energy. A major obstacle to the ubiquitous deployment of WSNs is the absence of reliable and easy-to-implement communication stacks. The main design criteria are thus to lower algorithmic complexity to facilitate low-power solutions that can be embedded into low-cost microprocessors, and to extend the lifetime of the network without jeopardizing reliable and efficient communications from sensor nodes to other nodes as well as to data sinks. Such stringent design requirements can be met by a plethora of approaches, e.g., using cross-layer design paradigms, distributed signal processing algorithms, energy-efficient medium access control, fault-tolerant routing protocols, self-organizing and self-healing sensor network mechanisms and reliable data aggregation algorithms, among others. Viable solutions will impact both commercial activities as well as standardization approaches, including IEEE 802.15.4, IETF ROLL, Wireless HART and WOSA. In light of the above, the main purpose of this special issue is twofold: * to promote novel approaches in analyzing, designing and optimizing large-scale energy and complexity constrained WSNs, and * to expose novel, readily deployable protocol solutions that are of low complexity and hence facilitate very cheap network deployment and maintenance, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a useful and practically viable wireless sensor networking solution. Topics of Interest: The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: - performance bounds (link and network capacity, with and without imperfections, etc.) - data centric approaches (data fusion, aggregation, source coding, signal processing, etc.) - protocol centric approaches (novel PHY, MAC and networking paradigms, etc.) - cross-layer and cross-functionality designs (joint source/channel coding, etc.) - cooperative and distributed algorithms (cooperative PHY, distributed signal processing, etc.) - key functionalities (security, localization, self-*, synch., abstraction, ease of programming, etc.) - interdisciplinary approaches (principles borrowed from physics, etc.) Papers must be tailored to the problems of WSNs and explicitly consider complexity and energy constraints. The editors maintain the right to reject papers they deem to be out of scope of this special issue. Only originally unpublished contributions and invited articles will be considered for the issue. The papers should be formatted according to the IEEE-JSAC guidelines (http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html). Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript via EDAS (http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7029&) according to the timetable below. Important Dates: Submission deadline: 1 May 2009 Author Notification: 1 November 2009 Final Manuscript: 15 February 2010 Publication: Q3 2010 Guest Editors: Mischa Dohler CTTC, Barcelona, Spain (mischa.dohler at cttc.es) Kris Pister Berkeley, USA (pister at eecs.berkeley.edu) Wendi Heinzelman University of Rochester, USA (wheinzel at ece.rochester.edu) Mani Srivastava UCLA, USA (mbs at ucla.edu) Ivan Stojmenovic University of Ottawa, Canada (stojmenovic at storm.ca) Kay Römer ETH Zurich, Switzerland (roemer at inf.ethz.ch) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP: 3rd Workshop on Networked Systems for Developing Regions (NSDR) Datum: Fri, 3 Apr 2009 11:22:19 +0200 Von: Römer Kay Uwe <roemer(a)INF.ETHZ.CH> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE CALL FOR PAPERS _______________ 3rd Workshop on Networked Systems for Developing Regions (NSDR) To be held with the 22nd ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP) Big Sky Resort, Big Sky, Montana October 11th, 2009 http://www.dritte.org/nsdr09 ** Important Dates ** Submission Deadline: June 15 Notification: August 5 Camera-ready: September 5 Workshop: October 11 ** Background ** Following on two successful workshops hosted with ACM SIGCOMM in 2007 and 2008, the 3rd Workshop on Networked Systems for Developing Regions (NSDR '09) will provide a venue for researchers to present ideas and results concerning the design, implementation and evaluation of new computing and communications technologies serving developing regions. The decreasing cost and increasing access to information and communication technologies (e.g., mobile phones) are rapidly enabling access to new services and markets for previously disconnected populations. However, due to a variety of factors, including cost, literacy, education, and organizational capacity, conventional approaches to technology design and implementation are often not relevant. Moreover, empirical evidence for the impact of such technologies is largely anecdotal, beyond a few well-known and well-cited examples. Addressing this requires engagement of several disciplines, including but not limited to economics, sociology, anthropology, and political science, and expertise in a variety of application areas - including government, health, finance and agriculture. NSDR focuses on addressing significant technical challenges (e.g., communication infrastructure in rural areas, novel caching techniques for challenged networks, security issues arising in such contexts), and on the deployment and evaluation of novel technologies or applications that address a specific need (e.g. providing remote financial services or health care). ** Papers ** We encourage submission of position papers or the results of preliminary work describing interesting, original, previously unpublished ideas or results pertaining to the design, implementation and/or evaluation of networks and systems for developing regions. Accepted papers will: - propose new research directions; - target a specific application; - inform design and/or deployment; - or generate lively debate at the workshop. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: - Low-cost wireless connectivity - Intermittent systems - Power-efficient systems - Low-cost computing devices - Mobile systems and applications - Adapting content and applications for local languages - User interfaces for low-literacy populations - Design and evaluation of applications for public health, microfinance, agriculture, e-governance, education, monitoring, disaster management, etc. ** Submission ** Submissions must be no greater than 6 pages (six pages) in length (including figures and references), must be a PDF file, and must follow formatting guidelines and instructions at http://www.dritte.org/nsdr09/submit.html. Submissions that deviate from these guidelines will be rejected without consideration. Reviews will be SINGLE-BLIND: authors' names and affiliations should be included in the submission. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference or journal. ** Program Committee ** Vivek Pai, Princeton (co-chair) Tapan Parikh, UC Berkeley (co-chair) Muneeb Ali, Princeton John Bennett, Colorado Gaetano Borriello, U.
