[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: Wiley’s Security and Communication Networks Journal, Special Issue on Security and Privacy Preservation in Vehicular Communications]
by Lars Wolf 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Wiley’s Security and Communication Networks Journal, Special Issue on Security and Privacy Preservation in Vehicular Communications Datum: Mon, 17 Dec 2007 02:03:15 -0500 Von: Basem Shihada <bshihada(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: Pin-Han Ho <pinhan(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca>, bshihada(a)uwaterloo.ca CALL FOR PAPERS Wiley's Security and Communication Networks Journal Special Issue on Security and Privacy Preservation in Vehicular Communications Aims & Goals The advancement and wide deployment of wireless communication technologies have revolutionized human's lifestyles by providing the best convenience and flexibility ever in accessing the Internet services and various types of personal communication applications. Recently, car manufacturers and telecommunication industries gear up to equip each car with the latest technologies. The main vision is safety and commercial applications, enabled by short to medium range communication systems and/or networks (vehicle-vehicle or vehicle-roadside). In spite of the numerous value-added application scenarios, the VANETs (Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks) come with their own set of challenges, especially in the aspects of security and privacy preservation. It is obvious that any malicious behavior of users, such as a modification and replay attack with respect to the disseminated messages, could be fatal to the other users. In addition, the issues on VANET security become more challenging due to the unique features of such network scenarios, including the high-speed mobility/large amount of network entities (i.e., the vehicles). Furthermore, conditional privacy preservation must be achieved in the sense that the user related privacy information, including the driver's name, the license plate, speed, position, and traveling routes along with their relationships, has to be protected; while the authorities should be able to reveal the identities of message senders in the event of a traffic dispute, such as a crime/car accident scene investigation. Therefore, it is critical to develop a suite of elaborated and carefully designed security mechanisms for achieving security, conditional privacy preservation, and efficient IVC authentication in a VANET before it can be practically launched. Scope of Contributions Motivated by the above observations, this special issue is organized to accommodate the most state-of-the-art proposals and research studies on achieving secure and privacy-preserving vehicular communications. In particular, the research papers of the following topics (but not limited to) are highly solicited: · Security features in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) · New/existing communication protocol/technology architecture for VANETs · Location privacy preservation/ secure positioning · Security in Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs) · Power adjustment and topology control in VANETs · Authentication and key management for Inter-Vehicle Communications (IVCs) · Security trust model and threat models for VANETs · Secure network middleware and protocol design for VANETs · Commercial and industrial security services in VANETs · VANETs on Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) systems · Anomaly detection and compromised node revocation in VANETs Submission Only original and unpublished research papers will be considered in this special issue. All submissions will be reviewed based on technical merit and relevance. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/journal/security). Prospective authors should submit their paper online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn. When submitting the papers, the authors should make sure to choose the Manuscript type as "Special Issue", enter the "Running Head" and the "Special Issue title" as "SCN-SI-004" and "VANET Security", respectively. Important Dates Manuscript Due January 1, 2008 Acceptance Notification March 1, 2008 Final Manuscript Due April 1, 2008 Publication June 2008 Guest Editors Dr. Pin-Han Ho (pinhan(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca) Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Waterloo Canada Dr. Zonghua Zhang (zonghua.zhang(a)inria.fr) IRCICA/LIFL - CNRS UMR 8022 - INRIA Futurs France Dr. Rongxing Lu (rxlu(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca) Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Waterloo Canada _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] CFP: Special Issue of Computer Networks on Traffic classification and its applications to modern networks
by Antonio Pescape' 16 Dec '07

16 Dec '07

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ================================================================= Call for Papers Special Issue of Computer Networks on Traffic classification and its applications to modern networks The evolution of the Internet in the last few years has been characterized by dramatic changes to the way users behave, interact and utilize the network. The research community and many network operators are responding to these changes by designing and deploying traffic measurement and classification architectures of increasing complexity. In fact, the observation of network traffic is at the core of many fundamental network research, operation and maintenance activities, such as the implementation of Quality of Service guarantees, traffic engineering, intrusion prevention and detection. However, the rapid introduction of new categories of applications such as network games and peer-to-peer, the increasing presence of malicious traffic, and the widespread use of encryption techniques, make the measurement, analysis and classification of Internet traffic a challenging task. The research community is therefore asked to tackle traffic classification issues by focusing on the design of novel algorithms capable of overcoming the limitations of packet inspection techniques, which are quickly becoming ineffective. Similarly, new distributed classification architectures and realtime traffic classification platforms must be defined to cope with current and future high-speed networks. Finally, the importance of preserving the users privacy and the need to reduce the amount of traffic that is collected, stored and processed are increasingly seen as some of the major issues that are limiting the progress in this area of research. ------------------ Scope of Contributions --------------- This issue is devoted to cutting-edge research achievements in the area of traffic classification, dealing with topics such as novel classification techniques, data privacy, distributed classification architectures, and emerging applications of traffic classifiers. We solicit papers that present original and unpublished work on topics including, but not limited to, the following: Traffic classification algorithms and techniques Platforms for on-line, real-time traffic classification Comparisons among traffic classification techniques Privacy-preserving classification techniques Identification and classification of encrypted traffic Impact of sampling on network traffic classification Applications of traffic classification Data-reduction techniques for traffic traces Anonymization tools and their effects on traffic classification Interfaces and architectures for the storage of traffic traces ------------------- Manuscript Submission ----------- Prospective authors are invited to prepare their papers according to the Guide to Authors available at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit to http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet, choosing Article Type: SI-Traffic Classification.

[Tccc] CFP: 3rd IEEE Workshop on advanced EXPerimental activities ON WIRELESS networks & systems --- EXPONWIRELESS 2008
by Yonghe Liu 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

[Apologies for multiple posting] 3rd IEEE Workshop on advanced EXPerimental activities ON WIRELESS networks & systems --- EXPONWIRELESS 2008 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/EXPONWIRELESS08 23 June, Newport Beach, CA, USA in conjunction with IEEE WoWMoM 2008 (http://wowmom08.ics.uci.edu/) CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- Wireless networks represent a challenging and ever growing research area. In these systems the interactions among the different network layers are very complex and their effects on the overall performance are not easy to accurately identify. Additionally, many simplifying assumptions considered in analytical studies do not hold in practise. Experimental activities involving the development of systems and device prototypes and the collection and analysis of measurements from actual networks can provide insight on the behaviour of such systems in realistic environments, which can be beneficial for understanding how cross-layer interactions impact in practise the overall performance, for deriving realistic simulation models, for analyzing particular phenomena and evaluating algorithms and protocols, and for exploring the design choices in building actual wireless networks. Such activities are pivotal for researchers, developers, service managers and providers, as well as for end users involved in the evolution of these networks. After successful events in the last years, EXPONWIRELESS 2008 aims to again bring together all the aspects related to experimental activities on wireless networks, creating a forum where researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, current requirements, and future visions, that are important for the development of new protocols, algorithms, devices and systems. High quality papers discussing original and innovative experimental activities on wireless networks are solicited for submission. The main topics of the workshop are (but are not limited to): * Algorithms for self-configuration and self-management of beyond-3G systems * Deployment and experience with multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks * Device prototypes for wireless BANs, PANs, LANs, and MANs * Differentiated services in wireless multimedia networks * Energy-efficient protocols and power management algorithms * Experiences/lessons from recent wireless testbed deployments * Handoff and mobility management in beyond-3G systems * Location-aware services * Middleware platforms for wireless/mobile environments * Mobility models of wireless/mobile networks and systems * Positioning and tracking technologies * Power control and channel assignment * Prototype implementation of wireless/mobile networks and systems * QoS for real-time voice/video in wireless networks * Seamless internetworking and architectures for beyond 3G systems * Systems and methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in wireless networks * Security and privacy issues in wireless networks * Wireless/Mobile applications and services (e.g., vehicular networks, underwater networks, opportunistic networks, etc.) PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION -------------------------------- Submitted manuscripts should adhere to the IEEE double-column standard format with 10pt font size for texts. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e., Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica, or equivalent. The maximum length of the manuscript is 5 pages. This limit includes figures, appendix, bibliography, etc. Papers significantly exceeding this limit will be automatically rejected. All papers must be submitted in PDF format using the ISAS Conference Manager http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/EXPONWIRELESS08/ISAS/ . Any question can be submitted to exponwireless08(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE in the combined WoWMoM 2008 workshop proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- - Submission Deadline: January 28, 2008 - Acceptance Notification: March 08, 2008 - Camera-ready Papers Due: April 4, 2008 WORKSHOP CO-ORGANIZERS ---------------------- Ling-Jyh Chen, Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Rosario G.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: SPECIAL SESSION on "Bio-inspired Wireless Networks" Datum: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 16:00:01 +0100 Von: Martin Drozda <mdrozda(a)sim.uni-hannover.de> Organisation: Leibniz Universität Hannover An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu **CALL FOR PAPERS** SPECIAL SESSION on "Bio-inspired Wireless Networks" Part of 2008 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (SPECTS 2008) June 16-18, 2008, Edinburgh, UK http://atc.udg.edu/SPECTS2008/ SCOPE AND TOPICS: With the increasing complexity of wireless networks, the task of network management is becoming more and more difficult to handle. Wireless networks are becoming too complex for even the most skilled system integrators to install, configure, and maintain. Therefore it is desirable that they would be fully autonomic -- able to manage themselves following high level objectives defined by network administrators. This goal implies a need for distributed computational environments that would function with often very limited resources such as bandwidth, energy, or processing capability of wireless devices. Nature has demonstrated itself to be efficient in dealing with many of these limitations, often in a more efficient way than the human-designed counterparts. Therefore there has been significant interest in applying ideas based on natural systems in the wireless communications domain. This special session aims at bringing together contributions that apply ideas inspired by natural systems to wireless networks. It will address leading edge research ranging from theory to experimental evaluation and tools. The topics include but are not limited to: o Self-adaptive and self-tuning wireless networks. Autonomic networks. o Learning algorithms inspired by neuro-physiology. o Algorithms for securing wireless networks including approaches based on evolution or immunity. o Network algorithms based on genetics. o Network epidemics. o Bio-inspired protocols design including bio-inspired routing or bio-inspired cognitive radio. o Experimental case studies, test beds and tools. IMPORTANT DATES: Submission of papers: January 25, 2008 Notification of Acceptance: March 21, 2008 Final Camera-Ready Submission Due: April 18, 2008 The deadlines for paper submission and acceptance notification follow the deadlines set by the SPECTS conference. SUBMISSION: Authors are invited to submit technical papers through the conference web site. All submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Formatting details can be found under "Paper Submission" on the SPECTS 2008 web site. All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings.

[Tccc] CFP: Second International Workshop on Improved Mobile User Experience
by Petteri Nurmi 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

Apologies for multiple postings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMUx 2008 - CALL FOR PAPERS The Second International Workshop on Improved Mobile User Experience (IMUx 2008) http://www.hiit.fi/events/imux2008 in conjunction with the 6th International Conference on Pervasive Computing (Pervasive 2008), 19-22 May 2008, Sydney, Australia http://pervasive2008.org/ Submission Deadline: 25 January 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THEME Current interfaces of mobile devices are rather limited when adaptability, context-awareness and proactiveness are considered. For example, they do not utilize the context of the interaction, nor the environmental changes in the user's proximity or the capabilities of the device itself. This context can include information about the situation and the user preferences, longer or shorter time usage histories, etc. To improve usability and to provide a better user experience, the interfaces of the devices should become more intelligent and require less intentional user inputs. In order to achieve this goal, novel interaction methods need to be developed and combined with statistical models of the user that capture, for example, her behavior, personal preferences and goals. Furthermore, the developed solutions need to be evaluated via extensive user tests to guarantee they are valuable to the users. To improve the dialogue between the different research areas and their practitioners, the workshop aims at bringing together researchers from the fields of user modeling, user interaction and user experience, with developers of mobile and ubiquitous applications. The ultimate goal of the workshop is to provide a common forum for exchanging ideas between these domains. The workshop welcomes two kinds of paper submissions: research papers and position papers. Also videos and demonstrations can be submitted. The research papers should present original research related to one or more of the following areas: * user interaction in mobile environments, * ubiquitous user modeling, and * mobile user experience. The position papers should address challenges in combining the above-mentioned areas, and beyond, for an improved mobile user experience, and propose approaches for overcoming these challenges. We encourage authors to take a visionary view and a critical stand towards current practices and trends. Example topics for the research and position papers include, but are not limited to, * adaptive context-aware user interfaces, * mobile computing applications with adaptation, * considerate computing, * context-aware information retrieval, * embedded solutions for machine learning, * large scale data gathering and its challenges, * large scale user studies, * minimal/implicit/reduced user interaction, * mixed-initiative interaction. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline: 25 January 2008 at 23:59 EST. Notification: 29 February 2008. Day of workshop: 19 May 2008 or 22 May 2008 (pending the Pervasive conference organizer's decision) SUBMISSIONS The manuscripts should be prepared according to the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science guidelines. The maximum length of submissions is 10 pages for research papers and 6 pages for videos and demonstrations. Papers should be submitted by email to the address imux2008 (at) hiit (dot) fi by 25 January 2008 at 23:59 EST. Each paper will be sent for review to three members of the program committee or organizing committee. The Pervasive conference organizers plan to publish a proceedings of all the workshop papers. Further information about this will be available later. PLEASE NOTE: This may affect the requested format and we are waiting for further instructions from the Pervasive conference organizers. All participants in the workshop need to register for the event. Further information will be available later. At least one author of the submitted paper is expected to participate and present the paper at the workshop. COMMITTEES Organizing committee: * Péter Boda (Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto, Calif., USA) * Ákos Vétek (Nokia Research Center, Helsinki, Finland) * Patrik Floréen (HIIT, Helsinki, Finland) * Esko Kurvinen (HIIT, Helsinki, Finland) * Petteri Nurmi (HIIT, Helsinki, Finland) Program committee: * Mark Adler (Nokia Research Center, Cambridge, MA, USA) * Wray Buntine (NICTA, Canberra, Australia) * Jim Glass (MIT, Cambridge, MA, USA) * Matt Jones (Swansea University, Swansea, UK) * Johan Koolwaaij (Telematica Instituut, Enschede, The Netherlands) * Kun Chang Lee (Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Korea) * Rene Mayrhofer (Lancaster University, UK) * Tatsuo Nakajima (Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan) * Massimo Paolucci (DoCoMo Eurolabs, Munich, Germany) Workshop organization The program consists of invited talks together with presentations, and possibly demonstrations and videos, from the participants.

Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beitr ägen WMAN-FG 2008
by Matthias Frank 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

============================================================== Bitte entschuldigen Sie ggf. mehrfache Kopien dieses Aufrufs. Bitte leiten Sie den Aufruf auch an interessierte KollegInnen/MitarbeiterInnen weiter! ============================================================== 1. GI/ITG KuVs Fachgespräch WMAN (Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks) Fachgespräch der GI/ITG-Fachgruppe Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme Universität Ulm, 10./11.03.2008 Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen Zielsetzung: Mobile Ad-hoc Netzwerke (MANETs) stellen heute eines der aktivsten Forschungsgebiete dar. Neben der grundlegenden Organisation des Routing-Prozesses finden sich in MANETs weitere wichtige Fragestellungen wie Autokonfiguration, Sicherheit oder effizienter Nutzung von Ressourcen. Bedingt durch die beschränkten Ressourcen mobiler Kleingeraete, das Fehlen zentraler Instanzen und die hohe Dynamik von Ad-hoc Netzen lassen sich bekannte Lösungen aus dem Bereich drahtgebundener Netze nicht ohne Weiteres übertragen. Aus diesen Gründen behandelt dieses Fachgespräch die zugrundeliegenden Funktechnologien ebenso wie Fragestellungen bis zur Anwendungsschicht. Auch konkrete Anwendungsszenarien wie Fahrzeug-Fahrzeug-Kommunikation oder Unterwasser-Ad-hoc Netze sind von Interesse. Die aus vielfältigen Themenbereichen bekannten Fachgespräche der KuVs zeichnen sich durch eine kommunikative, diskussionsorientierte Atmosphäre aus, bei der auch junge Forschungsaktivitäten sowie initiale Ideen zu Herausforderungen des jeweiligen Themenkreises präsentiert werden sollen. Autoren sind eingeladen, eine Kurzfassung ihrer zur Diskussion zu stellenden Aktivitäten im Umfang von maximal 2 Seiten als PDF einzureichen (in deutscher oder englischer Sprache, Formatierung im Stil der IEEE Transactions, siehe http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/index.html). Die endgültigen Kurzfassungen (sowie ggf. die Präsentationsfolien) sollen in einem Technischen Bericht der Universität Ulm zusammengefasst und veröffentlicht werden.

Wireless Sensors Networks constitute a significant current technology, attracting considerable research interest from various disciplines. Indeed, the wireless sensor technology is employed in emerging areas with high potential for scientific research, being used for biomedical, environmental or industrial applications. These applications generally require intelligent dense environment monitoring which generates important data volumes. Data collection and analysis need to deal with cooperation and coordination topics in order to prolong network lifetime and to provide useful, synthesized information for automation, decision making and support. Topology control, by means of clusters or groups, is another applied technique to overcome these challenging problems. The 1st International Workshop on Distributed Collaborative Sensors Networks will focus on the research of developing collaboration infrastructures and solutions in the context of wireless sensors networks, aiming to bring together researchers and practitioners in these fields. In addition, the workshop will highlight recent innovative research results which will strengthen the formal foundation of this emerging area.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: TVT SI on Vehicle-Infrastructure Integration and Telematics Applications Datum: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 15:57:03 -0800 (PST) Von: Lin Cai <cai(a)ECE.UVic.CA> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ============================================================== IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (TVT) on Vehicle-Infrastructure Integration and Telematics Applications ============================================================== For more than a hundred years, the benefits of personal and commercial mobility, made possible by vehicular technology, have been a testimony to the success of automobiles. Their collective presence --- more than a billion registered cars, trucks and buses and growing in number --- places a complex sustainability burden on society and on the planet through factors such as roadway fatalities, fossil-fuel depletion, greenhouse gas emissions & roadway congestion. During the past decade or so, there has been a globally shared realization that in order to enhance the benefits of automobiles and decrease their environmental footprint, the roadway infrastructure and automobiles need to interact as part of an intelligent transportation system (ITS). Coincident with the development of ITS, there has been a much progress made with respect to transportation telematics --- the interaction between automobiles and the infrastructure to deliver services such as road-side assistance, automatic crash notification, concierge assistance and vehicle health reports. There has been extensive research & experimentation on both the underlying architectures and technologies needed to fulfill the goals of ITS and deliver on the expectations of telematics. A new era of vehicular technologies that includes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications is upon us, seeded by both (pre-competitive) public-sector and private-sector funding. Examples include the dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) radio under consideration in the United States (US) for vehicle-infrastructure integration (VII) and a global system for telematics (GST) chip-set in Europe. Examples of telematics or nomadic device connectivity services include BMW's ASSIT in Europe, Ford's SYNC and General Motors' OnStar, in the US and Toyota's G-Book in Japan. Topics of Interest: -------------------- - Vehicular technologies for intra-vehicle, V2V, V2I, extra-vehicle networking & services; - Vehicular technologies for connectivity to portable or nomadic digital device & services; - Vehicular technologies to enhance ITS and Telematics services. - Microware radio & handover technologies for ITS and Telematics; - Roadside system-level, board-level and chip-level electronics; - Remote service provisioning and over-the-air vehicle software upgrade technologies; - End-to-end service delivery architectures, algorithms, protocols and scalability; - End-to-end quality of service, resource management, security & privacy; - Rail transit vehicle interface and traffic management; - Applications, including those relating to reduction in roadway fatalities, fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, roadway congestion, digital entertainment & lifecycle maintenance; - Results from large-scale experimental systems, test-beds and field trials; - Business models for ITS and Telematics. Authors should follow the IEEE TVT manuscript format and submission procedure which can be found at the IEEE TVT home page http://transactions.vtsociety.org/ under Information for Authors. There will be one round of reviews and acceptance will be limited to papers needing only moderate revisions. Prospective authors should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP special issue on environmental sensor networks Datum: Thu, 06 Dec 2007 12:19:51 +0200 Von: Christos Douligeris <cdoulig(a)unipi.gr> An: Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please be advised that the deadline for the special issue of the International Journal on Sensor Networks on Environmental Sensor Networks has a new deadline: December 20, 2007 to allow people who just finish the term exams to submit a paper. I also advise prospective authors to submit their papers through the journal's electronic submission system. Thanks in advance Christos Douligeris PS I attach the original CFP *International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNET)** ** **Call for Papers * *Special Issue on: “Environmental Sensor Networks”* */Guest Editors/**: * · *Prof. Christos Douligeris, * *University of Piraeus**, Greece**.* · *Prof. Theodore Tsiligiridis,* *InfoLab, Agricultural University of Athens, Greece.* * * An Environmental Sensor Network (ESN) comprises of an array of sensors that gather data autonomously and forward them automatically to a central server. What differentiates modern sensor networks from previous techniques is an emphasis on /intelligence /in the sensors as well as in the data network. Modern sensor networks also typically publish the data on the server on the World Wide Web and allow real-time access to the data. These networks require a unique combination of technological and environmental understanding, and have the potential of creating a revolution in environmental monitoring. Different types of data are collected by the sensor nodes. These data can be in different forms, digital and analogue, spatial and temporal, database or image, fixed or moving. At the server level the data can be visualized and analyzed within a Geographic Information System (GIS), combined with a satellite image and/or map, and published via the Web to give researchers seamless access to information. ESNs have the capability of capturing local and broadly-dispersed information simultaneously; they also have the capacity to respond to sudden changes in a location by triggering observations selectively across the network while simultaneously updating the underlying complex system model and/or reconfiguring the network. Data gathered by ESNs pose unique challenges for environmental modelling, as a complex system is being observed by a dynamical network. These challenges lie in the fields of computer science (from self organizing networks to algorithm analysis), mathematics (from computational geometry to data fusion and robotics), and statistics (from sampling design to prediction and prediction uncertainty). This special issue attempts to bring together an interdisciplinary group of scientists with the objective of formulating and addressing optimization of data gathering, data analysis, data coverage, modelling and inference when the network itself is a dynamic system of self organizing nodes. This collaborative effort will include both development of new computational, mathematical, and statistical tools as well as specific applications of existing ESNs designed to study environmental interactions. We particularly encourage papers that describe experiences drawn from real sensor network deployments, or large-scale simulation experiments, taken from a variety of environmental fields, including for example, bio-geo-science, agriculture, atmospheric and ocean sciences. *Subject Coverage* Original contributions on novel, robust, user and environment constraints aware, interoperable and effective solutions, to existing problems within the aforementioned context are invited. Authors are requested to submit manuscripts including, but not limited to, the following topics: · Environmental Modelling & Sensing Technologies · Environmental Systems & Embedded Intelligence · Environmental Applications & Ambient Intelligence · Motion and Environmental Monitoring · Measurements & Detection · Remote Management · Miniaturisation · Embedded ESN Technology · Enabling Control Applications over ESNs · Visualization Tools for ESNs · Self-organized ESNs · Acoustic and Video Enabled ESNs · Wireless Networks of Low Power Imaging Sensors · Indoor/Outdoor Biosensor Networks · Wireless Sensing · Low Power Sensing · Pervasive Sensing · Localization · Context/Location Aware Services · Semantics & Ontologies · Middleware Interfaces · Agents and Web services · Security *Notes for Intending Authors* Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
