[Tccc] Call for Submissions: PhD Forum at MobiSys 2009 (2nd anouncement)
by Jacob M. Sorber 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Apologies if you received multiple copies of this mail. ----------------------------------- Call For Submissions A PhD Forum on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services June 22, 2009 Krakow, Poland http://prisms.cs.umass.edu/~sorber/mobisysforum09/ Co-located with ACM MobiSys 2009 ----------------------------------- Overview: The PhD Forum provides a friendly and supportive environment for doctoral students to present and discuss their dissertation research both with their peers and with a panel of experienced researchers from academia and industry. In addition to providing feedback and advice, this forum will provide an opportunity for students to network as well as to practice presenting their research clearly and concisely. This forum is best suited to students who are far enough into their PhD to have a concrete dissertation proposal outlining the key challenges they plan to solve as well as the strategies and methodologies that are applicable. Furthermore, participants should not plan to finish their dissertation within 6 months of the forum, as that would leave little time to include advice and suggestions into their work. Format: This year's PhD Forum will be a one-day event consisting of short student presentations, discussion, and a roundtable discussion. Each participant will have time allotted for a short presentation as well as an in-depth and constructive discussion led by the panel. In order to allow adequate time for each presentation, we will limit the number of participants to no more than 15 presenters. The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion, in which panelists will have another opportunity to provide general suggestions and advice to the entire group. Submission: Submissions should consist of the following 1. A summary of the student's dissertation research (up to 3 pages) including a brief discussion of motivation, challenges, related work, and initial results. Applicants should clearly identify their contributions to the field of mobile systems. Also, a clear delineation of prior work and proposed work, will help the panel provide more useful suggestions. 2. A short biographical sketch (1 page max) describing the applicants affiliations and research activities. This should include the date that the student expects to complete his/her dissertation. Authors should follow the style formatting guidelines for MobiSys papers. Submissions should be sent in PDF format to mobisys.phdforum.2009(a)gmail.com. If accepted, a student may be asked to provide explanations or clarification by the camera-ready deadline. Important Dates: Submission Deadline: March 15, 2009 Notification Deadline: April 15, 2009 Camera-ready: May 1, 2009 Forum Date: June 22, 2009 Panelists: Victor Bahl, Microsoft Research Landon Cox, Duke University Per Gunningberg, Uppsala University David Johnson, Rice University (Additional panelists to be announced later pending confirmation) Organizers: General Chairs: Jacob Sorber, UMass-Amherst Aruna Balasubramanian, UMass-Amherst Steering Committee Chair: Arta Doci, Colorado School of Mines Program Chairs: Ashish Sharma, UC Santa Barbara Nilesh Mishra, USC Program Committee: Yuvraj Agarwal, UC San Diego Ganesh Ananthanarayanan, UC Berkeley Eiman Elnahrawy, Rutgers University Annarita Gianim UC Berkeley Sayandeep Sen, University of Wisconsin-Madison Eugene Shih, MIT Please send any questions to mobisys.phdforum.2009(a)gmail.com. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

MobiCom 2009 will be held in September in Beijing. The MobiCom conference series serves as the premier international forum addressing networks, systems, algorithms, and applications that support mobile computers and wireless networks. MobiCom is a highly selective conference focusing on all issues in mobile computing and wireless and mobile networking at the link layer and above. Besides the regular conference program, MobiCom09 will also include a set of workshops and tutorials, panels, research demos and exhibits, and a poster session that includes the ACM Student Research Competition. More information on these activities, including submission deadlines, can be found at http://www.sigmobile.org/mobicom/2009/. PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory and/or practice of mobile computing and/or wireless and mobile networking. All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another conference or journal. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design, implementation, and evaluation of mobile systems and applications * Operating system and middleware support for mobile computing and networking * Fundamental understanding of mobile computing and wireless networking * Architectures, protocols, and algorithms to cope with mobility, limited bandwidth, limited power and/or intermittent connectivity * Wireless and mobile techniques for delay-tolerant, mobile ad hoc, and wireless sensor networks * Security, privacy, and trustworthiness of mobile and wireless systems * Wireless access technologies (e.g. mesh systems, personal area networks) * Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks * Protocols exploiting novel technologies such as UWB, MIMO, directional antennas, and software radios * Techniques for dynamic spectrum use * Architectures, algorithms and protocols for cognitive wireless networks and their integration in the Internet * Modeling, simulation, emulation and measurement of mobile systems * Experimental test-beds for mobile/wireless networks * Performance evaluation of mobile and wireless networks, protocols, and systems * Next generation (beyond 802.11) wireless technologies and related systems and protocols MobiCom09 will be a diverse conference and we strongly encourage the submission of mobile systems, experimental and theoretical papers. The program committee will evaluate each paper using metrics that are appropriate for the topic area. For example, a systems or experimental paper in the protocol area will be evaluated based on the innovations in the protocol design, practical implementation, and realistic evaluation, whereas a more theoretical paper may be evaluated mostly based on innovation within the algorithm design. At the same time, the evaluation of wireless and mobile networking technologies is challenging because of the significant impact that the physical environment has on performance. For this reason, all papers must carefully describe and justify the evaluation methodology that is used and identify its strengths and weaknesses. Wireless and mobile networks are being used in a wide variety of application contexts, such as sensor networks, pervasive computing, disruption tolerant networking, and vehicular networks. Papers that describe research and experimentation in such environments are encouraged, but the focus of such papers should be on addressing challenges associated with mobility and wireless networking. The program committee will referee all papers, and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. CHALLENGES PAPERS: The conference strongly encourages the submission of short papers in the field of mobile computing and wireless networking that present revolutionary new ideas or that challenge existing assumptions prevalent among the research community. These "challenges papers" should provide stimulating ideas or visions that may open up exciting avenues and/or influence the direction of future research. Descriptions of new products or evolution of existing work are not appropriate topics for papers in this category. While an exhaustive evaluation of the proposed ideas is not necessary, insight and in-depth understanding of the issues is expected. Challenges papers will be reviewed by the MobiCom program committee and will be part of the technical program and published in ACM MobiCom proceedings. They should be submitted using the same submission procedure adopted for the full papers. The title of these papers must start with the word "Challenges:" i.e., "Challenges: Rest of the Title." SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically. Authors should prepare a PDF or PostScript version of their full paper. Papers must be no longer than 12 pages (8 pages for "Challenges" papers), in font size no smaller than 10 points, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches) with 1-inch margins. Detailed instructions on the paper submission procedure and format will be available on the conference web pages. The deadline for registering the title and the abstract of the paper with our electronic submission system is March 5, 2009 and the deadline for submitting the actual paper is March 12, 2009. All submitted papers will be judged based on their quality through double-blind reviewing, where the identities of the authors are withheld from the reviewers. Authors' names must not appear in the paper or in the PostScript or PDF file. Submitted papers (or substantially similar papers) must not be currently under review for any other publication. Please direct any questions about the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs at mobicom09_pcchairs(a)acm.org. ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

16 Feb '09

***Sincere apologies if multiple copies of this message are received*** __________________________________________________________________________________ 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. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications Innovative sensor network applications Participatory sensing Middleware support for sensor networks Programming and debugging sensor networks Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks Experiences with new sensor hardware Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization Experiences with communication protocols Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime Configuration and installation support Management of large-scale sensor networks Interconnection between IP and sensor networks Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. SUBMISSION: FULL PAPERS: Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references.

[Tccc] JSAC CFP: Special Issue on Mission Critical Networking
by Moustafa Youssef 14 Feb '09

14 Feb '09

Our apology if you receive multiple posts of this announcement. ====================================================================== JSAC CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Mission Critical Networking Mission-Critical Networking (MCN) refers to networking for application domains where life or livelihood may be at risk. Typical application domains for MCN include critical infrastructure protection and operation, emergency and crisis intervention, healthcare services, and military operations. Such networking is essential for safety, security and economic vitality in our complex world characterized by uncertainty, heterogeneity, emergent behaviors, and the need for reliable and timely response. MCN should comprise networking technology, infrastructures and services that may alleviate the risk and directly enable and enhance connectivity for mission-critical information exchange among diverse, widely-dispersed, mobile users. A primary challenge to MCN is to deploy and dynamically configure and evolve communication networks that are dependable, autonomic, secure, adaptive, and rapidly deployable to support critical missions and their priorities. In order to operate effectively, the deployed networks should support services such as location determination of both authorized and unauthorized entities, quality-of-service aware audio and video communication, emergency calling and alerting, and in-situ and remote sensing and control in a secure and dependable manner. In addition, efficient operation of such networks that typically include numerous resource-constrained components may benefit from cross-layer optimization, cognition, resource engineering, on-demand federation, and service-oriented architecture. Also important is the integration of MCN with the Internet to reduce cost of deployment and maintenance and to enhance reachability and ubiquity. This special issue of the Journal on Selected Areas in Communications solicits high quality technical contributions in mission-critical networking including, but not limited to: - Architecture and design of MCN and next-generation emergency calling and alerting - Rapidly and dynamically deployable services and networks - Evolving "elastic" networking with decentralized and peer-to-peer resource management and allocation - Federation and policy management for heterogeneous networks and protocols - Trust, security, dependability, privacy, QoS and performance awareness and management for MCN - Sensor and actuator networks for critical information gathering, tracking and real-time control - MCN traffic and mobility analysis - Formal methodology for cognitive, autonomic, and context-aware protocols and network management - Spectrum management and access - Testbeds, benchmarks, performance and experimental studies ** Paper Submission Manuscripts should describe original, previously unpublished work, not currently under review. Argument justifying contribution specific to the unique features of MCN must be provided. Prospective authors should follow the IEEE JSAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors at: http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/Guidelines/info.html Authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript to mcn-jsac(a)criticalnet.org according to the following timetable: - Manuscript submission: April 1, 2009 - First review notification: August 1, 2009 - Revised manuscript due: October 1, 2009 - Acceptance notification: November 1, 2009 - Final manuscript due: January 2, 2010 - Publication: June, 2010 ** Guest Editors - Mohamed Eltoweissy, Virginia Tech, USA - Silvia Giordano, SUPSI, Switzerland - Mohamed Gouda, University of Texas, USA - Moustafa Youssef, Nile University, Egypt - Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University, USA - Mario Gerla, UCLA, USA - David Du, National Science Foundation and University of Minnesota, USA _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

11 Feb '09

[Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this call.] CALL FOR PAPERS *********************************************************************** International Workshop on Integration of the Real World and the Future Internet (RWI 2009) Marina del Rey, California, June 10, 2009, co-located with DCOSS'09 http://www.deri.ie/research/events/rwi2009 *********************************************************************** Recently, Future Internet research has attracted a lot of attention across the globe with a number of initiatives such as the Future Internet Assembly in Europe, GENI in the US and AKARI in Japan. A common theme is the requirement to adopt an all encompassing approach taking into account requirements and views from a number of angles: networking protocols, socio-economics, services, security, etc. The ubiquity of mobile devices and proliferation of wireless networks will allow everyone permanent access to the Internet at all times and all places. Trillions of heterogeneous network enabled devices such as sensors and actuators located in open space or attached to existing objects, RFID enabled items, robots and generally many heterogeneous devices with communication and computational capabilities are integrated into the fabric of the Internet, providing an accurate reflection of the real world, delivering fine-grained information and enabling almost real time interaction between the virtual world and real world. The increased computational power of these devices has the potential to empower people to generate their own applications for innovative social and cognitive activities in any situation and anywhere. This wireless connection is not limited to user devices, almost any artefact from clothing to buildings can be connected and collaborate as a network enabled device. Furthermore new sensor technologies and wireless sensor networks provide environmental intelligence and the capability to sense, reason and actuate. This leads to the exciting vision of the interconnection of artefacts embedded in our real environment, forming a society of "intelligent things" and "smart spaces" and thus making the real world "clickable". The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners addressing the Future Internet and in particular the real world aspect of it. The workshop should serve as a place to exchange ideas between different national and regional initiatives as well as research projects and researchers. The main topics of interest include the following: * Management, scalability and heterogeneity of devices and users: how can a vast number of devices be managed and networked efficiently? Will current naming and addressing be efficient and sufficient? How does IP scale to low complexity (e.g. with the use of 6LoWPAN)? How can we integrate more data centric services on the Internet (in contrast to address centric mechanism)? In particular wireless sensor and actuator networks will be unreliable, dropping off and connecting fluently to the Internet - can we design efficient Plug and Play (PnP) mechanisms to manage these edge networks? * Networked knowledge and context - What are the means to describe this information? What are the mechanisms that we need to manage search, and interpret this knowledge (semantics). How can we integrate it with other information sources? What will be the traffic patterns that we have to deal with in addition to the commonly seen data traffic (email, web-browsing, IPTV) on the Internet and will the collective use of the Real World Internet impact these services? How can this data be modelled and represented? How can we compose new context information on the fly? * Privacy, security and trust - How to implement fast and secure cryptographic algorithms and protocols in devices highly limited in resources? How can we design usable and privacy friendly identity management tools that enable users to stay in control of their data? How can we provide anonymity, unobservability, unlinkability and pseudonymity properties? How can we anonymise data generated by individuals? How can we design transparency and feedback mechanisms that educate users and raise security and privacy awareness? How can we protect the infrastructure from adversaries carrying traffic analysis attacks on the communication system? * Impact of RWI traffic - What is the RWI traffic model(s)? What quality of service requirements the RWI applications' have for the underlying transport networks? How to serve large number of RWI traffic sources? How to reduce the network resource utilization while preserving the quality of service? The following topics in the context of the Real World Internet are also of interest: * Standardisation * Social and legal implications. * Service understanding / automatic composition and modeling e.g. ontologies Cross-layer collaboration (business systems / network services / devices) Self-sustainability (self-* features e.g. self-management, self-healing etc.) Business models - context based solutions (no one size fits all approach) Ease of use / application modeling / toolkits Infrastructure management (HW & SW set-up/maintenance etc) Devices Identification Interoperability among systems and objects Important Dates Submission deadline: April 10, 2009 Acceptance notification: April 25, 2009 Workshop: June 10 ******************************** Submission Details Papers should be submitted in PDF format via email to srdjan.krco(a)ericsson.com. Page limit is 12 and the paper should follow the IEEE Transactions Journal and conferences style (http://www.ieee.org/pubs/authors.html). All accepted papers will be published in a separate DCOSS 09 Workshops Volume, with ISBN. ******************************** Organization Committee Program Co-Chairs: Manfred Hauswirth (DERI Galway, Ireland) Mirko Presser (University of Surrey, UK) Srdjan Krco (Ericsson Ireland) Technical Program Committee (TBC) Ivan Stojmenovic (Univ. of Ottawa) David Simplot-Ryl (INRIA Lille) Sotiris Nikoletseas (CTI Patras) Nigel Baker (UWE Bristol) Takahiro Hara, (Osaka University) Curt Schurgers (UCSD) Marimuthu Palaniswami (Univ. of Melbourne) Inoue Masugi (NICT Japan) Antonio Ruzelli (UCD Dublin) Eduardo Tovar (ISEP-IPP) Karl Aberer (EPFL) Manolis Koubarakis (Univ. of Athens) Oscar Corcho (UPM) Amit Sheth (Wright) Andreas Wombacher (Univ. of Twente) Konrad Wrona (NATO C3 Agency) Theodore Zahariadis (Synelixis) Telma Mota (PT inovacao) Neeli Prasad (Aalborg University) Stefan Fischer (Univ. of Luebeck) Alex Gluhak (Ericsson Ireland) Asunción Gómez Pérez (UPM) Costas Constantinou (University of Birmingham) Richard Brooks (Clemson University) Dimitrios Serpanos (Univ. of Patras) Spyros Voulgaris (ETH Zurich) Koen Langendoen (TU Delft) Alfredo Cuzzocrea (Unical) Jan Beutel (ETH Zurich) Andreas Terzis (JHU) Veljko Milutinovic (ETF Belgrade) Slawomir Kuklinski (WUT Warsaw) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] : CFP: Journal of Communications (JCM) Special Issue on Multimedia Communications, Networking and Applications
by Guan-Ming Su 10 Feb '09

10 Feb '09

Call for Papers Journal of Communications (JCM) Special Issue on Multimedia Communications, Networking and Applications http://www.academypublisher.com/jcm/si/jcmsi_mcna.html With the advancement of multimedia signal processing/compression technology and the wide deployment of wired/wireless networks, there is an increasing demand for multimedia communication services. However, advanced multimedia processing often attempts to optimize the coding efficiency and introduces higher dependency between the processed data, resulting in a fundamental challenge to robust data communication. On the other hand, modern communication networks often exploit multi-dimensional diversity, such as user, frequency, and location, and finer granularity of resources, such as power and spectrum, for multimedia communications that have seldom been explored in multimedia signal processing. Therefore, we are facing unprecedented challenges in multimedia communications, networking, and applications. Many critical issues need to be addressed to improve the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia networks, for example, how to deploy the cross-layer design methodology that leverages the characteristics of multimedia signal processing and communication networks, how to optimize the QoS subject to available resources, and, in particular, how to allocate resources to individual nodes and sources when a network involves multiple nodes and sources of multimedia. Topics: The aim of this special issue is to bring together the state-of-the-art research contributions that address the various aspects of multimedia communications, networking, and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Cross-layer architecture design for multimedia transmission * Content/Network-aware cross-layer design and optimization * QoS-driven resource management, scheduling, and admission control * Performance evaluation of cross-layer multimedia transmission design * Joint source and network coding and decoding * Cross-layer design for P2P streaming * Ad hoc and infrastructure-based overlay network communication * Cross-layer design for multimedia sensor networks * Distributed wireless video communications * Multimedia delivery over wireless mesh network * Noncollaborative/collaborative resource management for multi-stream transmission * Cooperative multimedia communications in multihop wireless networks * Error resilience and error concealment techniques for multimedia communications Important Dates: Submission Deadline: March 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: May 31, 2009 Final Manuscript Due: June 30, 2009 Publication Date: September 2009 Submission: Submissions should follow the guidelines of Journal of Communications. Prospective authors should submit high quality, original manuscripts that have not appeared, nor are under consideration, in any other journals.

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.

[Tccc] Workshop on Sensor Networks for Earth and Space Science Applications (held at IPSN 2009)

09 Feb '09

Workshop on Sensor Networks for Earth and Space Science Applications (ESSA 2009) Held in conjunction with ACM/IEEE International Conference on Information Processing in Sensor Networks (IPSN) San Francisco, CA, USA April 16, 2009 Wireless sensor networks and their applications have grown steadily during the past decade as a result of the convergence of various technologies spanning wireless, data processing algorithms, computing hardware, storage, and sensor capabilities. The pervasive nature of static and mobile sensors scattered throughout the environment enables multi-resolution capture of environmental or ambient information that serve as the basis of intelligence for knowledge inference and decision-making. Information processing for sensor networks enables new capabilities to operate autonomously and learn, perceive, reason, and react intelligently to their environments. Large scale sensor networks are now being used in a number of Earth and Space Science applications, including large-area terrestrial systems for geologic monitoring, volcano/plume monitoring, seismic (earthquake) monitoring, large-scale ocean monitoring for tsunamis, storm surges, plumes, algae blooms, and weather forecasting systems comprised of aerial and ground/coastal nodes. Such Earth and Space sensor networks are now evolving from "passive observation and reporting systems" to "active and reactive systems" that dynamically evolve in response to complex and rapid spatio-temporal events. This workshop is a forum for scientists and researchers to present new ideas and papers on sensor networks applications in the areas of Earth and Space Science. Papers on all aspects of Earth and Space Applications can be submitted to this workshop. We expect this workshop to have invited papers as well as contributed papers. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, are: - Monitoring of long range and large-scale phenomena - Geologic and Seismic monitoring - Chemical plumes and other atmospheric events - Oceanic events prediction and monitoring - Sensor networks applications in near space and deep space - Data fusion, compression, and processing for sensorwebs - Simulation, emulation, and experiments on sensor networks for Earth and Space Science - Databases, data search/mining technologies and knowledge extraction mechanisms from sensor networks in Earth and Space Science - Information management, and data visualization and display techniques for sensor networks - Signal processing, control, and resource management solutions for sensor networks - AI and machine learning for sensor networks - Intelligent networking and routing protocols for optimal operation of large-scale sensor networks Dates: Submission: February 28, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: March 22, 2009 Final Version Due: April 2, 2009 Webpage: http://viterbi.usc.edu/ESSA2009 General Chair: Srikanta Kumar, BAE Systems Program Co-Chairs: Ashit Talukder, JPL (Ashit.Talukder(a)jpl.nasa.gov) and Cauligi Raghavendra, USC (raghu(a)usc.edu) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on Sensor Network for Building Monitoring: From Theory to Real Application
by Malka Nishanthi Halgamuge 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

CALL FOR PAPERS EJSE Electronic Journal of Structural Engineering Special Issue on Sensor Network for Building Monitoring: From Theory to Real Application http://www.ejse.org EJSE invites contributions on the above subject to the first issue of an ongoing series of special ssues in building monitoring using sensor networks. Monitoring and automatic control of building environment is a crucial application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). The investigation of efficient sensor network design that minimizes energy dissipation in a battery of the sensor node with limited battery power is a vital consideration for sensor network lifetime. Therefore careful scheduling of battery power in sensor networks has become a critical issue in network design. Recent technological developments have permitted miniaturization and power efficiency of sensors, and integration of data into applications for building monitoring and computer interaction. Sensor networks illustrate an exceptional improvement over traditional sensors. However, there are still many challenges to be met before we see more widespread use of WSN in building monitoring applications. The principal objective of this special issue is to assemble papers on recent advances made in the area of sensor networks for monitoring buildings. Authors are specially invited to submit contributions in, (but not restricted to), the following topics: - Practical experience and knowledge gained with real life deployment of sensor networks for building monitoring for examples temperature, light intensity, CO and CO2 level - Novel techniques for actual sensor deployment, data gathering in building monitoring - Effects on activity monitoring, reliable communication, quality of service and security - Power efficient communication: miniaturization, system integration and energy scavenging Submission Details: Papers Deadline: 30th June 2009 Acceptance Notification: 31st July 2009 Final Manuscript Due: 31st August 2009 Publication Date: October 2009 Guest Editors: Dr. Malka N.
