[Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2009)-Extended Submission Deadline on April 6, 2009
by Chia Ching Ooi 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. =================================================== Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2009) http://cone.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/wewsn09/ In conjuction with DCOSS 2009 Marina Del Rey, California, 10 June 2009 =================================================== Wireless sensor networks offer a wealth of capabilities for interfacing the physical world with applications in environmental, industrial, and medical domains. A typical wireless sensor network is expected to work without human intervention for a long time period. Hence, energy efficiency is of paramount importance in wireless sensor networks in order to achieve maximum network lifetime. Due to the energy constraints of sensor devices, communication protocols and hardware architectures for wireless sensor networks necessitate an energy-aware design to ensure the longevity of the network. While most wireless sensor networks use battery-operated computing and sensing devices, new technologies such as energy harvesting have gained much attention in the research community recently. In addition, each layer of the communication protocol stack can employ various techniques to conserve energy with consideration of the hardware's capabilities to minimize energy expenditure. WEWSN intends to bring together the researchers working on various topics in wireless sensor networks with relation to energy. It will be held as a one-day workshop in conjunction with DCOSS'09, co-located with several related workshops on special topics in wireless networking, thus providing an ideal venue for researchers to share their ideas and discuss their latest research work. Scope Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate current research related to energy in wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following featured topics: * Architectures and protocols for energy management * Energy-aware data gathering and routing protocols * Wake-up scheduling algorithms * Duty cycle management * Data aggregation, conservation, optimization * Energy models for analysis and simulation * Resource management * Energy scavenging, energy harvesting * Coverage and connectivity algorithms * Cross-layer optimization * Energy and bandwidth efficient distributed signal processing * Medium access control and topology control * Error control protocols and fault-tolerance * Traffic management and congestion control * Energy-efficient system services (e.g. localization, time synchronization) * WSN hardware and operating systems Paper Submission Instructions We only accept original papers that have neither been published nor submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submitted papers must conform to the IEEE-Transactions format and should not exceed 8 pages. All submissions will be handled electronically via EasyChair. The use of LaTeX typesetting is highly recommended. It is your responsibility to make sure that the manuscript is free of printing problem. At least one of the authors of each accepted paper must attend the workshop and present the paper. Important Dates Paper submission: April 6, 2009 Notification of acceptance: April 27, 2009 Camera-ready version: May 3, 2009 Organizing Committee General Chairs: Christian Schindelhauer, Univ. of Freiburg, Germany Stefan Rührup, Univ. of Freiburg, Germany Program Committee Davide Brunelli, University of Bologna, Italy Adam Dunkels, Swedish Institute of Computer Science, Sweden Holger Karl, University of Paderborn, Germany Syed Ali Khayam, NUST Institute of Information Technology Pedro José Marron, University of Stuttgart, Germany Hartmut Ritter, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany Kay Uwe Römer, ETH Zürich, Switzerland Kurt Rothermel, Universität Stuttgart, Germany Stefan Rührup, Univ. of Freiburg, Germany (co-chair) Zartash A.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [CFP] IEEE SenseApp 2009 Datum: Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:15:32 +0100 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 SENSEAPP 2009 FOURTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS (in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2009) Zurich, Switzerland 20 - 23 October 2009 Web: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp CALL FOR PAPERS Sensor nodes are tiny autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments and prototypic implementations are still not commonplace. However, experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community.

[Fwd: IEEE JSAC Special Issue on WSNs]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: IEEE JSAC Special Issue on WSNs Datum: Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:12:12 +0100 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 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.
