Re: [GAMESNETWORK] Fwd: Call for Papers - 2nd Workshop on Mobile Gaming
by Holger Mügge 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

For those of you who do not speak/write german: We also appreciate english contributions (papers, demos, presentations). Deadline: April, 26th, 2009 I append the full english CFP here, too. Thanks, Holger ENGLISH CFP FOLLOWS: 39. Annual Meeting of the „Gesellschaft für Informatik“ (GI) – Lübeck, Germany, 2009 2nd Workshop on Mobile Gaming Motivation Mobile games are based on the physical movements of players in a game- world that combines the real world with virtual dimensions. Mobile games unite two game-worlds that were previously mutually exclusive: classic outdoor games and computer games. But they are also games in the traditional sense as “homo sapiens” has always been a “homo ludens”. Games are part of the every day life, just like eating, breathing, or sleeping. They allow us to try the impossible. We use game rules to voluntarily confine the game space, and then roam this space to imaginatively overcome the limits of reality. But apart from being a pastime, games also mirror the real world and so they can be used to play-test life. Over the centuries, games evolved with the intellectual and technical possibilities of mankind. The prehistory of mobile games began in the 1980s with Nintendo’s handheld “Game & Watch” electronic games. The early 1990s saw the advent of the “Gameboy”, which introduced exchangeable cartridges to the video games mass market. At the turn of the millennium, the Japanese I-Mode network pioneered mobile data services and thus opened the door for mobile games that used the wireless Internet for communication. On 1 May 2000, the US government announced the discontinuation of the artificial degradation of GPS signals for non- military users. This marks the end of the prehistory and the dawning of mobile games in our sense. The first such mobile game was Geocaching, where participants use GPS coordinates that they obtained over the Internet to search for small treasures that were hidden by other players. In 2003, Nokia introduced the N-Gage, which was a GPRS-enabled smart-phone with an integrated game-console. Due to its GPRS data-service, it allowed for wide-area multiplayer games that were connected via a central server. At the same time, it also allowed proximity based multiplayer games via Bluetooth communication. Research project began to sprout world-wide in conjunction with all these technological developments. These projects set out to exploit the new possibilities and developed context-aware and location-based applications that used the new wireless positioning and communication technologies in various ways and thus advanced the field in which mobile games are grounded. Mobile games utilise mobile and pervasive technology. Small and portable devices are equipped with sensors and models of their environments that allow them to sense their current context, which includes location, and act according to this input. Thus, from a technological point of view, mobile games are part of the field of ubiquitous computing. Goals and research questions Mobile games open up a wide range of research and developments questions from a multitude of perspectives, including the conceptual, the aesthetic and the technical. They require research into new types of games and experiences, their concepts and design strategies, as well as into the technical domain. Researchers around the world utilise the human intellect of mobile gamers to test prototypes of new interfaces for human-computer interaction, infrastructures, and design concepts in order to advance the new technologies. Games define their own rules – this opens up a truly unique field for research into ideas and technologies. The context of mobile games also provides opportunities for research into the individual and social processes that circumvent the use of information technology. Game design faces new challenges. Until now, only a few games exploited the possibilities offered by augmented and mixed reality, global networks, location services and various sensors. Theory and methods of analysis of the player experience in mobile games are still in its infancy. What is the meaning of mobility and physical movement in these mixed reality game-worlds? How to analyse the experience of mobile players that are roaming the area rather than sitting in a laboratory? What is the role of game communities and cultures for mobile games? Design and development of mobile games confronts us with the grand challenges of ubiquitous computing: the complexity of mobile, distributed services, its dynamic and ever changing contexts, the diversity of participants, and the interaction in a post-desktop paradigm which entails the body, various senses and modalities. The technological diversity of hardware and software needs to be bridged so that mobile gamers can interact across device boundaries. The rapidly evolving diversity of sensors, actuators and user-interfaces demands for flexible frameworks that allow for an easy integration. This workshop contributes to revealing the research and development possibilities offered by mobile games, and has a particular focus on the German science and industry sectors. Researchers and developers can use this field to exchange their experiences, formulate new research questions, identify innovation potential, and find ways to improve the business environment and leverage the potentials offered by this exciting new field of research. Addressees This workshop is primarily targeted at users, developers, researchers and decision makers in the field of mobile games, who are interested in creative and innovative applications for pervasive and ubiquitous computing. In addition to this, the workshops also seeks to address people beyond the field of computer science, who are fascinated and inspired by the technical possibilities offered by mobile games and want to give growth to their own ideas. Topics Contributions to the workshop can be either technical papers or position statements. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Mobile games in the everyday life Context of mobile games Mobile game experiences and activities Mobile gamer as producer Alternate reality games Traditional games and mobile games Serious games – learning, testing, creating value in a serious context Interfaces and interaction techniques for mobile games Augmented and mixed reality for mobile games Development processes and architectures for mobile games Authoring systems for mobile games Complexity of hard- and software – problems and solutions Exploiting technical boundaries Dates Submission deadline: 26.04.2009 Notification of acceptance: 25.05.2009 Final submission: 01.07.2009 Organisers Pascal Bihler, Universität Bonn Barbara Grüter, Hochschule Bremen Holger Mügge, Universität Bonn Leif Oppermann, Mixed Reality Lab, University of Nottingham Program committee Linda Breitlauch, MediaDesign Hochschule Düsseldorf Gregor Broll, LMU München Wolfgang Broll, Fraunhofer FIT, St. Augustin Armin B.

[Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Energy in Wireless Sensor Networks (WEWSN 2009)
by Chia Ching Ooi 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '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, 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.

Dear Colleagues, Due to many requests, the deadline for abstract submission to RAWNET/WCN3 2009 has been extended to March 15, 2009. For more information please visit: http://www.rawnet.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- RAWNET/WNC3 2009 The 5th workshop on Resource Allocation, Cooperation and Competition in Wireless Networks in conjunction with WiOpt'09 the 7th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks June 27, 2009, Seoul, Korea http://www.rawnet.org Full Papers due: March 15, 2009 (updated deadline) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Future telecommunications networks are expected to provide very high data rates, seamless connections, at higher and often heterogeneous quality-of-service levels, in scenarios with ever increasing mobility. In order to meet these requirements, new generation wireless networks go beyond the classical paradigms of cellular networks and are based on complex interactions. In this scenario, efficient allocation of the available resources and/or cooperation, and/or competition play a strategic fundamental role to increase and optimize communication performance of individual nodes or of the global network, and efficiently exploit the available frequency spectrum eventually admitting unlicensed users. This fueled a vibrant flurry of studies in cooperative communications, spectrum management (cognitive radio), and resource allocation. The investigations involve researchers and technicians from the physical, to the networking layers and above and eventually promote joint design within different layers (cross-layer design). Analysis and design of the complex interactions in future communications networks requires contributions from a variety of disciplines, which span from information theory to statistical physics, game theory, optimization, non-commutative algebras and so forth. The workshop promotes the applications of new methodologies in this field with the aim of providing the participants advanced and innovative tools able to catch the fundamental dynamics of complex interactions. It fosters the presentation of new cooperative protocols and new schemes for resource allocation, novel results in the investigation of the theoretical limits and fundamental tradeoffs between competition and cooperation. The applications can steam from any wireless scenario, from multicell networks to sensor and relay networks, cognitive radio or ad-hoc network. In fact, object of the workshop is to provide the participant with a comprehensive, thorough, and unified vision of the resource allocation issue in complex multiuser and multiprovider networks regulated by cooperation and competition. --------------------------- KEYNOTE TALKS --------------------------- * Prof. Anthony Ephremides (University of Maryland) COOPERATION AT THE NETWORK LEVEL * Prof. Gerhard Kramer (University of Southern California) CODING FOR COOPERATION AND RELAYING --------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------- * User scheduling (single cell/multicell/OFDMA/relay-multihoping network); ² Cross-layer design; ² Power-control and energy e±cient communications; ² Resource allocation-based interference mitigation; ² Cooperation schemes for interference control, coverage extension (multicell, multihop cooperation); ² Game theoretic resource allocation; ² Spectrum management, i.e. resource allocation in cognitive radio; ² Pricing based, auction based schemes in ad-hoc/cellular networks; ² Fairness vs performance issues; ² Relay selection, cooperative group optimization and resource allocation; ² Scaling laws and information theoretic bounds; ² Diversity/multiplexing trade-o®s of cooperation protocols; ² Effect of partial and incomplete channel state information in cooperative systems, and robust designs; ² Practical issues in cooperation strategies for mobile ad-hoc and sensor networks. --------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------- Submission Deadline (extended): March 15, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: April 1, 2009 Camera-ready Manuscripts: May 1, 2009 --------------------------- Submission Guidelines --------------------------- The submission will be handled electronically via EasyChair system at https://www.easychair.org/.

[Tccc] Final CFP RAWNET/WCN3: Extended deadline
by Laura Cottatellucci 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

Dear Colleagues, Due to many requests, the deadline for abstract submission to RAWNET/WCN3 2009 has been extended to March 15, 2009. For more information please visit: http://www.rawnet.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- RAWNET/WNC3 2009 The 5th workshop on Resource Allocation, Cooperation and Competition in Wireless Networks in conjunction with WiOpt'09 the 7th International Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks June 27, 2009, Seoul, Korea http://www.rawnet.org Full Papers due: March 15, 2009 (updated deadline) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Future telecommunications networks are expected to provide very high data rates, seamless connections, at higher and often heterogeneous quality-of-service levels, in scenarios with ever increasing mobility. In order to meet these requirements, new generation wireless networks go beyond the classical paradigms of cellular networks and are based on complex interactions. In this scenario, efficient allocation of the available resources and/or cooperation, and/or competition play a strategic fundamental role to increase and optimize communication performance of individual nodes or of the global network, and efficiently exploit the available frequency spectrum eventually admitting unlicensed users. This fueled a vibrant flurry of studies in cooperative communications, spectrum management (cognitive radio), and resource allocation. The investigations involve researchers and technicians from the physical, to the networking layers and above and eventually promote joint design within different layers (cross-layer design). Analysis and design of the complex interactions in future communications networks requires contributions from a variety of disciplines, which span from information theory to statistical physics, game theory, optimization, non-commutative algebras and so forth. The workshop promotes the applications of new methodologies in this field with the aim of providing the participants advanced and innovative tools able to catch the fundamental dynamics of complex interactions. It fosters the presentation of new cooperative protocols and new schemes for resource allocation, novel results in the investigation of the theoretical limits and fundamental tradeoffs between competition and cooperation. The applications can steam from any wireless scenario, from multicell networks to sensor and relay networks, cognitive radio or ad-hoc network. In fact, object of the workshop is to provide the participant with a comprehensive, thorough, and unified vision of the resource allocation issue in complex multiuser and multiprovider networks regulated by cooperation and competition. --------------------------- KEYNOTE TALKS --------------------------- * Prof. Anthony Ephremides (University of Maryland) COOPERATION AT THE NETWORK LEVEL * Prof. Gerhard Kramer (University of Southern California) CODING FOR COOPERATION AND RELAYING --------------------------- TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------------- * User scheduling (single cell/multicell/OFDMA/relay-multihoping network); ² Cross-layer design; ² Power-control and energy e±cient communications; ² Resource allocation-based interference mitigation; ² Cooperation schemes for interference control, coverage extension (multicell, multihop cooperation); ² Game theoretic resource allocation; ² Spectrum management, i.e. resource allocation in cognitive radio; ² Pricing based, auction based schemes in ad-hoc/cellular networks; ² Fairness vs performance issues; ² Relay selection, cooperative group optimization and resource allocation; ² Scaling laws and information theoretic bounds; ² Diversity/multiplexing trade-o®s of cooperation protocols; ² Effect of partial and incomplete channel state information in cooperative systems, and robust designs; ² Practical issues in cooperation strategies for mobile ad-hoc and sensor networks. --------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------------------- Submission Deadline (extended): March 15, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: April 1, 2009 Camera-ready Manuscripts: May 1, 2009 --------------------------- Submission Guidelines --------------------------- The submission will be handled electronically via EasyChair system at https://www.easychair.org/.

[Tccc] CFP: GeoSensor Networks 2009, Oxford, UK
by Andrew Markham 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS GEOSENSOR NETWORKS 2009 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13-14 July 2009, Oxford, United Kingdom Website: http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/geosensornetworks/ Sponsored by: University of Oxford Papers to be published by Springer in the "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS) series. They will also be indexed electronically on SpringerLink. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Geosensor networks shift the traditional centralized paradigm of monitoring a geographical area from the macroscale to the microscale, by using distributed sensors to measure variables of interest (such as environmental, biological and chemical variables, seismic activity and geolocated videofeeds). Whilst having the ability to provide data with unparalleled temporal and spatial resolution, geosensor networks have pushed the frontiers of traditional GIS research into the realms of computer science, introducing issues such as data fusion, geolocated queries, energy efficient data collection and data mining and interpretation. The incorporation of mobile devices into these networks allows data acquisition to be undertaken on a spatially varying sampling resolution, introducing new research avenues such as co-operative sensing and dynamic coverage. Furthermore, geosensor networks are not only constrained to passively monitor a region, through actuators, they also have the ability to influence or modify their environment. Research in geosensor networks spans multiple fields, ranging from strategies for intelligent data acquisition to virtual reality interactions with environmental dynamics. Of particular interest are applications of geosensor networks, such as environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, early warning systems and wildlife tracking. This workshop seeks to address these issues, by bringing together leading experts in a two day forum to present novel research and exchange ideas relating to the state of the art and its future directions. Real world results are particularly welcomed, as are reports of interesting or challenging deployments.

[Fwd: [Tccc] JCM Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture and Applications]
by Lars Wolf 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] JCM Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture and Applications Datum: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 11:32:21 +0000 Von: Joel Rodrigues <joeljr(a)ieee.org> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CALL FOR PAPERS Journal of Communications (JCM, ISSN 1796-2021) Special Issue on Delay Tolerant Networks, Architecture, and Applications Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) are designed to address networks that exhibit intermittent connectivity. In general DTN architecture can be defined by one or more of the following characteristics: (a) sparse connectivity (i. e., end-to-end route between source and destination may not even exist); (b) long or variable delay; (c) asymmetric data rate; and (d) high error rate. Such characteristics can be results of various factors, including sever power fluctuations, wireless range, network partitioning, catastrophic disasters, or malicious attacks. Consequently, applications of DTNs are highly diverse and can be expanded to a wide variety of areas. Examples of such areas are interplanetary networks for deep space communications, sensor networks for ecological monitoring, transient networks to benefit developing communities, ad hoc networks to disseminate information in tactical or roadway environments, and disaster recovery networks to restore communications following a natural disaster. Diversity of network environments and inherent uncertainty about network conditions make design of DTNs highly challenging in terms of architecture, protocol designs, interoperability, security, management, and stability. We hope this special issue can address some of these issues and further stimulate activity in the research community. The goal of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the- art research contributions that address the various aspects of delay/disruption tolerant communications, networks, architecture, and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multicasting and broadcasting * Routing protocols for stochastic and deterministic time evolving networks * Integration with other systems and networks, such as free-space optical communications systems, MANET, VANET, C2C, Deep space, Acoustic Underwater, ad hoc, sensor/actuator networks * Models for rural connectivity and disconnected ad hoc networks * Multimedia and web searching * Hybrid DTN * Security, stability, survivability, and interoperability * Wireless DTN technologies, including RF, UWB, free-space optical, and acoustic * Network architecture and design, including link technology and node design * Applications, testbeds, and implementations * Management, configuration, QoS, and authentication * User mobility support, naming, and addressing * Protocols and overlay architecture * Delay tolerant networks and energy efficiency * Economic models and feasibility SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Papers should be submitted as PDF format electronically to joeljr(a)ieee.org with a Subject of SI/JCM. All submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three experts following the standard review process of the Journal of Communications to ensure the high quality of the special issue of the journal.

Submissions to ISWC'09 must not be under review by any other conference or publication during the ISWC review cycle, and must not be previously published or accepted for publication elsewhere. *Notes and Posters* Notes (not longer than four pages in length) and posters (not longer than two pages in length) must report new results and provide support for the results as a novel and valuable contribution to the field - just like full papers. Notes are intended for succinct work that is nonetheless in a mature state ready for inclusion in archival proceedings. Posters are intended to present very concise, yet focused and significant research results. Both notes and posters will be held to the same standard of scientific quality as full papers, albeit for a shorter presentation, and must still state how they fit with respect to related work, and provide a compelling explanation and validation. Notes and posters must be submitted as single PDF file in IEEE Computer Science Press 8.5x11-inch two-column format. Accepted notes and posters will be published in the conference main proceedings. Notes will be presented in the paper sessions of the conference, posters will be presented at the conference poster and demonstration session. *Late Breaking Results* This submission format aims at presenting very topical issues and late breaking application oriented results in all areas of wearable computing. Just like regular papers, late breaking results should present directing research, but in a very focused and compact format. Late breaking results are not understood as short papers condensed into less page space, but are intended to present pointed results at a high level of technicality. LBR submissions can gain from an "extended submission deadline" (May 18, 2009), and should be formatted in Springer LNCS single column format, not exceeding 8 pages). They will undergo a scientific reviewing process managed by the LBR program committee under the steering of the LBR chair. Accepted LBRs will be presented at the conference, and will be published in the "Advances in Wearable Computing" book of the OCG (adjunct proceedings), accompanying the conference proceedings. *Video Papers* Submissions are invited to present novel wearable computing systems, devices or just designs, or demonstrate innovative styles of interaction or usability of those systems - in a lively format: as a video. Video clips should be no longer than 8 minutes and be accompanied by a 4 page (or approx. 2000 words) written summary. Video paper submissions should be formatted in Springer LNCS single column format, and not exceeding 4 pages). Accepted video papers will be published in the "Advances in Wearable Computing" book of the OCG, accompanying the conference proceedings. The author(s) of a video are expected to present a brief introduction at the conference, while all full videos will be presented during the ISWC'09 night show - a special event in the frame of the 30th anniversary of the Ars Electronica Festival. Video papers will be published in the ISWC'09 adjunct proceedings, all video clips will be presented in the ISWC'09 Video DVD. *Reviewing Process for Papers, Notes, Posters, LBRs and Videos* ISWC'09 will adopt a double-blind process for full papers, notes and posters - as well as for late breaking results and video papers. Authors' names and their affiliations must not be revealed or mentioned anywhere in the submission. Please refer to the paper submission link at the conference website (www.iswc.net). Questions about the papers, notes and posters should be directed to progchair(a)iswc.net, about late breaking results submissions to lbrchair(a)iswc.net, and about video papers to videochair(a)iswc.net. *Demos* Demonstrations provide an opportunity to show research prototypes and works-in-progress to colleagues for comment in a relaxed atmosphere. Both independent demonstrations and those accompanying accepted papers and posters are welcome. Demonstrations will not be published in the main conference proceedings, but will be included in the adjunct proceedings. Accommodations (power, space, etc...) will be limited, so participants should plan to be mobile and self-supported. To apply to perform a demonstration, please submit (i) a one-page summary that describes what you plan to demonstrate, including a 200 word abstract (ii) a photo or diagram to be included in the demonstration handout alongside the abstract (minimum size 640 x 480 pixels), and (iii) to demonstrations(a)iswc.net by Monday, May 18, 2009. Only the abstract will be included in the "Advances in Wearable Com-puting" book (adjunct proceedings), the rest of the summary will be used to judge the quality of the submission. *Design Contest* Participating at the ISWC design contest is a great opportunity to showcase your product or prototype to the leaders in wearable computing. The design contest will take place during the conference banquet dinner on Sunday, September 6, 2009 and can be used to demonstrate your "smart gadgets" (plan to be mobile and self-supported).

26 Feb '09

CALL FOR PAPERS: EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE S-CUBE 2009 The first international conference on Sensor Systems and Software September 7-9, 2009 - Pisa, Italy http:// www.s-cubeconference.org Sponsored by ICST S-CUBE - the First Conference on wireless Sensor network (WSN) Systems and Software - provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing system development and software support for wireless sensor networks based systems that have the potential to impact society in many ways. Currently, wireless sensor networks introduce innovative and interesting application scenarios that may support a large amount of different applications including environmental monitoring, disaster prevention, building automation, object tracking, nuclear reactor control, fire detection, agriculture, healthcare, and traffic monitoring. The widespread acceptance of these new services can be improved by the definition of frameworks and architectures that have the potential to radically simplify software development for wireless sensor network based applications. The aim of these new architectures is to support flexible, scalable programming of applications based on adaptive middleware. As a consequence, WSNs require novel programming paradigms and technologies. Moreover the design of new complex systems, characterized by the interaction of different and heterogeneous resources, will allow the development of innovative applications that meet high performance goals. Hence, WSNs require contributions from many fields such as embedded systems, distributed systems, data management, system security and applications. The conference places emphasis on layers well above the traditional MAC and routing, and transport layer protocols. The aim of the conference is to create a forum in which researchers from academia and industry, practitioners, business leaders, intellectual property experts and venture capitalists may work together in order to compare and debate different innovative solutions. The conference will feature a highly selective technical program consisting of regular papers, short papers, and posters as well as specialized tracks at the intersection of business and technology. Topics Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. The specific topics of the conference, related to wireless sensor networks and wireless multimedia sensor networks, include but are not limited to: * Sensor Application Programming Paradigms * Sensor Application Development Support Systems * Sensor Network Middleware * Novel Sensor Applications * Sensor Prototypes & Testbeds * Underwater and underground wireless sensor networking * Cooperative sensing * Capacity planning and admission control, especially for multimedia sensor networks * Resource management and QoS Provisioning * Resource and service discovery * Self organization and network management * Security, Privacy & Trust * P2P, overlay, and content distribution architectures for sensor networks * Mobile sensor networking, Vehicular sensor networks and protocols * Pervasive/embedded solutions * Data models oriented to wireless distributed applications * Distributed coordination algorithms including clustering and topology control * Localization, time synchronization, coverage, connectivity and deployment issues * Network Management and monitoring * Modelling, analysis and performance evaluation * Mesh networking connectivity to sensor networks Important Dates * EXTENDED PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 20th, 2009 * Notification of Acceptance: May 30th, 2009 * Camera Ready Deadline: July 1st, 2009 Publication The proceedings of S-Cube 2009 will be published by Springer as part of the new series Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (LNICST) and will be available through Springer's digital library.
