-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE SenseApp - Deadline extended to 14 May 2007 Datum: Sat, 21 Apr 2007 11:49:30 +1000 Von: Salil Kanhere <salilk(a)cse.unsw.edu.au> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Apologies for any duplicates. ________________________________________________________________________ __________ SENSEAPP 2007 SECOND IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS (in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2007) Dublin, Ireland 15 - 18 October 2007 Web: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~senseapp CALL FOR PAPERS Submission Deadline Extended to 14th May, 2007. 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 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.

Nodes in today's challenged networks often include mobile nodes, space-based nodes, sensor/actuator nodes and other devices. Performance of the network paths interconnecting such nodes can be highly varying in terms of bandwidth, latency, disruption characteristics and security requirements. Conventional Internet access in performance-limited environments such as developing countries can also be regarded as challenged networks as can be ad-hoc communication between personal devices. The Internet protocol architecture suffers some problems when used in a challenged network setting. For example, when disconnection and reconnection is common or link performance is highly variable or extreme, one or more of the traditional Internet protocols do not work well. In this workshop following CHANTS 2006 and WDTN 2005, we wish to explore ongoing efforts in dealing with physical networks that operate significantly differently from wired, connected networks and the protocol architectures and algorithms used to deal with such situations. Techniques for making applications tolerant to disruptions and/or high delays are also in scope. We specifically solicit papers in the following areas: * Characterization of performance-challenged networks, e.g.m network measurements * Networking systems operating over unusual/challenged networks * Protocol design and evaluation of operations over challenged networks * System architecture and design for challenged networks * Applications in challenged networks * Robust network application design and implementation techniques * Delay tolerant and disruption tolerant networks (DTN) * Configuration and management of challenged networks Submissions may include presentations of specific systems or performance measurements, as well as architectural papers addressing new concerns. Papers that bring out problems in the existing proposals for challenged networks or that report operational experience will be favored. Selected papers will be forward-looking, will describe their relationship to existing work, and will have impact and implications for ongoing or future research. We aim to accept approximately 12 papers, and to have a highly interactive workshop focusing on evolving this area of network research and continuing to build its community. In addition, we seek submission of demo proposals, also to be reviewed by the TPC. The demo proposals shall present recent practical results from the area of challenged networks. In exceptional cases, where live demos are simply not practical to present, poster or video presentations of practical results are acceptable, too. Paper Format and Submission --------------------------- Submitted papers must be no more than 8 pages long, two columns, with no characters in smaller than 10 point fonts, and must fit properly on US "Letter"-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). Margins must be of 1 inch on all edges (top, bottom, left, and right) of each page. Demo proposal abstracts (to be published as part of the proceedings) shall not be longer than 3 pages plus 1 page description of the precise setup and requirements. All paper submission will be handled via EDAS. Papers will be reviewed single blind. Paper submission URI: http://edas.info/5526 Important Dates (updated!) -------------------------- Paper registration deadline: 15 May 2007 Paper submission deadline: 18 May 2007 Demo submission deadline: 4 June 2007 Notification of acceptance: 18 June 2007 Camera Ready Deadline: 13 July 2007 Workshop Date: 14 September 2007 Workshop Chairs --------------- Jörg Ott Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) Rajesh Krishnan BBN Technologies Steering Committee ------------------ Kevin Almeroth, University of California, Santa Barbara Mostafa Ammar, Georgia Institute of Technology Christophe Diot, Thomson Research, Paris, France Deborah Estrin, University of California, Los Angeles Kevin Fall, Intel Research Berkeley Jörg Ott, Helsinki University of Technology, Finland James Scott, Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK Technical Program Committee --------------------------- Mostafa Ammar, Georgia Institute of Technology Prithwish Basu, BBN Technologies Scott Burleigh, NASA/JPL Chen-Nee Chuah, University of California, Davis Mooi Choo Chuah, Lehigh University Vania Conan, Thales Architecture Framework Centre Marco Conti, IIT-CNR Christophe Diot, Thomson Deborah Estrin, University of California at Los Angeles Kevin Fall, Intel Research Stephen Farrell, Trinity College Dublin Silvia Giordano, University of Applied Science - SUPSI Stephen Hailes, UCL Sushant Jain, Google Gunnar Karlsson, KTH, Royal Institute of Technology Srinivasan Keshav, University of Waterloo Dirk Kutscher, University of Bremen Jeremie Leguay, Univ.

There are, however, communication services that are tolerant to disruptions and delay and do not require or cannot be given continuous connectivity. It is time to consider the unconnected network. This issue is dedicated to communication over wireless networks with inter- mittent connectivity due to planned or unexpected disruptions that may result in long delays for the communicating parties. Communication dis- ruptions occur both in infrastructure and ad-hoc wireless networks. In both cases, it is possible that mobile nodes cooperatively forward data for one another through their own movements. The mobility patterns of nodes affect thereby both the speed and reliability of data forwarding. Inter- mittent communication occurs also in sensor networks due to, e.g., energy- saving sleep cycles, and in deep-space communication and meteor-burst communication. The communication services that may use such intermittent and high-delay connections are characterized by a low degree of inter- activity, e.g., broadcasting, messaging, and data collection. Opportunistic strategies for caching and communicating may improve the performance in terms of reduced delay and improved probability of delivery. This issue of J-SAC is dedicated to technologies, systems designs and analyses that contribute to the development and understanding of delay and disruption tolerant wireless communication systems. Original contributions, previously unpublished and not currently under review, are solicited in relevant areas including (but not limited to) the following. * Data encoding for partial and unordered delivery * User studies of delay and disruption tolerances * Opportunistic caching and pre-fetching for concealment of service disruptions * Mobility measurements, modeling and performance analysis * Uni-, any-, and multicast routing protocols * Congestion, flow and error control; per-hop and multi-hop solutions * Security, privacy, authenticity and traceability of communication * Energy saving strategies and power management * Applications to personal communication, sensor networks, road-traffic systems and industrial communication Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] (no subject) Datum: Tue, 17 Apr 2007 23:18:58 +0200 Von: <S.P.W.G.Uhlig(a)ewi.tudelft.nl> An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Call for papers ------------- Special issue of IEEE Network Magazine on Internet Scalability: Properties and Evolution ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The modern Internet is a large-scale distributed system composed of many complex, interoperating sub-systems: traffic, topology, routing, addressing, etc. With its continued growth, the scaling of these different sub-systems becomes an increasingly important issue, as does the nature of the complex interactions between them. A detailed investigation/study of these interactions is crucial to foresee the future of the Internet, and ensure its smooth evolution. The current Internet architecture suffers from scalability problems caused by a number of factors. Growth in traffic and topological size, multi-homing, and interdomain routing dynamics are some examples of factors stressing the current infrastructure. Trends in multi-homing that might impact the behavior of the traffic depend on the evolution of addressing, like the deployment and use of IPv6, or nodes mobility. The way business relationships are defined between domains affects the spread of routing information, and in turn the flow of the traffic. Applications determine between which hosts traffic is exchanged. Understanding any of these aspects requires understanding the relationships between all of them. To add to this confusion, it is now understood that different subsystems of the Internet depend on each other in unexpected ways. For instance, traffic surges due to worm attacks are able to partially disrupt routing. By studying the large-scale properties of the Internet (as opposed to the behavior of isolated sub-systems), we will better understand the issues that are of significant importance for its future. Scope of special issue ------------------- The goal of this special issue is to discuss all aspects that have an impact on the large-scale behavior of the Internet, with a focus on their interactions. To properly understand how the Internet will evolve, we believe that a global systemic view of the Internet is necessary. Submitted papers should thus bring significant insight into how different aspects of the Internet impact its global behavior. The purpose of this special issue of IEEE network magazine is to publish both state-of-the-art and prospective papers on the properties and the evolution of Internet scalability. Papers describing original research results, surveys or prospective papers should be written in a tutorial manner and be readable by non-specialists. Overly analytical papers are not welcome. Instead, contributions must focus on giving insight into the global Internet behavior without getting into unnecessary mathematical formalism. Topics of interest include --------------------- * Analysis and evolution of the control plane, including routing, naming (DNS), and addressing * Trends and perspectives in multi-homing * Evolution of business relationships between autonomous systems * Interactions between topology, routing and traffic * Global performance of control and data planes, as well as performance measurement methodologies * Impact of Internet-wide security risks (unwanted traffic, attacks against the routing and naming) on Internet robustness * Future of Internet services, QoS, fairness and network neutrality * Emerging applications (e.g. bandwidth-intensive, requiring strict QoS guarantees, etc) and their impact on global traffic Manuscript submission Authors must submit their manuscript (single column, double-spaced) electronically in PDF format by email to Steve Uhlig (S.P.W.G.Uhlig(a)ewi.tudelft.nl) before the deadline. The manuscript should be written in single column, double-spaced, in accordance to the guidelines of the IEEE network magazine (http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/net/). Please also include information about the manuscript (title, complete list of authors, corresponding author's contact, abstract, and keywords) in the body of your submission email message.

The main motivation has been to address the challenges posed by the WSN paradigm, i.e., limited node power, processing, and communication capabilities, dense network deployment, multi-hop communications, and heterogeneous application-specific requirements. The vast majority of these studies applies to conventional WSN applications which need reliable and efficient communication of scalar event features and sensor data such as temperature, pressure, humidity. With the availability of low-cost small-scale imaging sensors, CMOS cameras, microphones, which may ubiquitously capture multimedia content from the field, Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) have been proposed and drawn the immediate attention of the research community. WMSN applications, e.g., multimedia surveillance networks, target tracking, environmental monitoring, and traffic management systems, require effective harvesting and communication of event features in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video. To this end, additional challenges for energy-efficient multimedia processing and communication in WMSN, i.e., heterogeneous multimedia reliability definitions, tight QoS expectations, and high bandwidth demands, must be addressed as well. This special issue solicits papers describing the state-of-the-art, reliable and efficient multimedia processing and delivery solutions imperative for the realization of WMSN. Original contributions (previously unpublished and not currently under review) are solicited in areas including (but not limited to) the following: * Novel WMSN architectures and applications * Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming in WMSN * Energy-efficient MAC, routing, and traffic management for WMSN * Cross-layer design for effective communications in WMSN * Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN * Joint multimedia processing and communication solutions for WMSN * Distributed source coding and multimedia processing in WMSN * Information fusion and multimedia aggregation in WMSN * Group and cooperative communications for multimedia delivery in sensor/actor networks * WMSN capacity modeling and theoretical analysis * Delay-tolerant networking for WMSN * Topology control, localization, synchronization, and mobility * Physical layer technologies for efficient WMSN * Secure multimedia communications in WMSN * Experimental and testbed studies of WMSN Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective Authors: Please follow Computer Networks (Elsevier) Journal format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CfP: IEEE Trans. on MM, SI on Multimedia Applications in Mobile/Wireless Context Datum: Mon, 16 Apr 2007 09:09:05 +0200 Von: Eckehard Steinbach <Eckehard.Steinbach(a)tum.de> An: Eckehard Steinbach <eckehard.steinbach(a)tum.de> IEEE Transactions on Multimedia -------------------------------------------------- Special Issue on Multimedia Applications in Mobile/Wireless Context -------------------------------------------------- Mobile computing is cultivating an environment for novel multimedia applications. The very nature of mobile computing requires non-traditional human-to-human and human-to-machine interactions. Due to design limitations of mobile devices (such as lack of keyboard), multimedia-based interaction becomes a natural mode of interaction in mobile computing. Further, mobile context automatically induces a rich set of meta information (semantic or non semantic) and provides different senses (other than audio visual) to the users. For example, information such as location, environmental temperature, or subject velocity brings new dimensions to the problem space. The meta information from different senses may help us create new solutions that are not possible using traditional multimedia techniques. Mobile computing also presents challenging resource (bandwidth/storage/ computing/power) constraints for multimedia applications that are often resource-intensive. Such constraints become even more stringent in emerging mobile communication environments such as ad-hoc networks, vehicular area networks, and sensor and actor network. Finding solutions to such impedance mismatch is crucial to deployment of rich multimedia applications on mobile platforms. We have started to see innovative mobile multimedia applications and system/algorithm designs in this context, but many challenging issues remain to be solved. This special issue solicits research papers addressing research challenges in multimedia applications in the context of mobile computing. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: - New multimedia-based interaction techniques that naturally bridge the interface between human and mobile devices. - New techniques that address the conflict between resource limitation and the desire for natural multimedia-based interaction in mobile computing. - Innovative uses of rich meta information (semantic or non semantic) automatically induced in the mobile context to context-aware searching and context-aware processing of multimedia content. - System design considering infrastructure-to-mobile and mobile-to-mobile multimedia content delivery and distribution. - Novel uses of non-audio/visual senses in mobile computing context. - Multimedia over mobile wireless networks with special emphasis on emerging mobile networking environments, i.e., ad-hoc networks, vehicular area networks, and mobile sensor and actor networks.

It is expected that sensor networks will have a significant impact on a wide array of applications ranging from military, to scientific, to industrial, to health-care, to domestic, to environmental, establishing ubiquitous wireless sensor networks that will pervade society redefining the way in which we live and work. Recently, in an attempt to integrate sensor networks in the fabric of human activities it has been recognized that it would be beneficial to augment sensor networks by either actuators or actors. Actuators are simple devices programmed to take immediate, one-shot, action in response to sensory input. Actors are more sophisticated entities that, in addition to actuating can provide a meaningful, long-term, interaction with the environment. This long-term interaction presupposes intelligent coordination with both the sensory data but also with anticipated changes in the environment. The resulting augmented version of sensor networks is commonly referred to as Sensor Actor Networks (SANET). SANET 2007 has for stated goal to be a high-profile workshop that brings together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification, and implementation of architectures and protocols for current and future applications of SANETs. Topics of Interest Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in SANET * Modeling and simulation of SANET * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Distributed control in sensor-actor networks * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in SANET * Probabilistic integration in SANET * SANET control and management * SANET security and robustness * SANET architectural and operational models * Applications and prototypes Paper Submission Submit a full paper of about 8 pages (ACM single-space, double-column format), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page. Accepted papers will be published by published by ACM Press and distributed at the workshop; copies of the Proceedings will also be available for sale from ACM after the workshop.

The Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) band has been allocated in the USA at 5.9 GHz for vehicle-to- roadside (V2R) and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, while the IEEE 802.11p working group is developing enhancements of 802.11 standards to support ITS, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), vehicular telematics, and infotainment applications. It is anticipated that a single wireless access technology may not suit the needs of all vehicular communication applications, but a heterogeneous wireless networking platform needs to be developed and optimized. Numerous exciting research challenges exist for designing wireless networking protocols for vehicular communication applications. Significant advancements in these research areas are expected in near future.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [MM-INTEREST] CFP: IEEE Transactions of Multimedia, Special Issue on Multimedia Applications in Mobile/Wireless Context Datum: Sat, 7 Apr 2007 17:13:36 +0800 Von: Wei Tsang Ooi <ooiwt(a)COMP.NUS.EDU.SG> Antwort an: Wei Tsang Ooi <ooiwt(a)COMP.NUS.EDU.SG> An: MM-INTEREST(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG IEEE Transactions on Multimedia -------------------------------------------------- Special Issue on Multimedia Applications in Mobile/Wireless Context -------------------------------------------------- Mobile computing is cultivating an environment for novel multimedia applications. The very nature of mobile computing requires non-traditional human-to-human and human-to-machine interactions. Due to design limitations of mobile devices (such as lack of keyboard), multimedia-based interaction becomes a natural mode of interaction in mobile computing. Further, mobile context automatically induces a rich set of meta information (semantic or non semantic) and provides different senses (other than audio visual) to the users. For example, information such as location, environmental temperature, or subject velocity brings new dimensions to the problem space. The meta information from different senses may help us create new solutions that are not possible using traditional multimedia techniques. Mobile computing also presents challenging resource (bandwidth/storage/ computing/power) constraints for multimedia applications that are often resource-intensive. Such constraints become even more stringent in emerging mobile communication environments such as ad-hoc networks, vehicular area networks, and sensor and actor network. Finding solutions to such impedance mismatch is crucial to deployment of rich multimedia applications on mobile platforms. We have started to see innovative mobile multimedia applications and system/algorithm designs in this context, but many challenging issues remain to be solved. This special issue solicits research papers addressing research challenges in multimedia applications in the context of mobile computing. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: - New multimedia-based interaction techniques that naturally bridge the interface between human and mobile devices. - New techniques that address the conflict between resource limitation and the desire for natural multimedia-based interaction in mobile computing. - Innovative uses of rich meta information (semantic or non semantic) automatically induced in the mobile context to context-aware searching and context-aware processing of multimedia content. - System design considering infrastructure-to-mobile and mobile-to-mobile multimedia content delivery and distribution. - Novel uses of non-audio/visual senses in mobile computing context. - Multimedia over mobile wireless networks with special emphasis on emerging mobile networking environments, i.e., ad-hoc networks, vehicular area networks, and mobile sensor and actor networks.

IM4WiN narrows this focus and goal to apply specifically to wireless networks. The focus of IM4WiN is on measurement and analysis of wireless networks that are already part of the Internet or are planned to be eventually connected. Within this scope, IM4WiN is interested in papers whose primary focus is measurement and/or analysis of data with the goal that this activity leads to meaningful understanding of important network properties and/or new protocols, systems, technology, and/or best practices. Papers that fall outside of this scope will not be accepted. Examples of good topics with the IM4WiN scope include: * Challenges in heterogeneous wireless networks (3G, WiFi, Wimax) * Benchmarks for wireless algorithms, protocols and applications * Operational experience concerning wireless network performance * Prediction and inference of user access, demand and mobility * Challenges with wireless measurements * Experimental (in)validation of wireless network assumptions * Metrics for wireless network performance evaluation * Wireless network troubleshooting techniques and recommendations * Experience with building/designing/expanding wireless networks * Description of tools for building and/or managing test beds * Techniques for improving experiment repeatability * Techniques for validating wireless test bed results * Measurement-based guidelines for network design * Wireless security * Wireless vehicular networks * Wireless networking as infrastructure in developing regions * Energy efficient protocols and design IM4WiN is seeking up to 6 two-column pages, formatted exactly to the requirements specified on the IMC/IM4WiN web page, and submitted according to the instructions contained therein. Important dates for IM4WiN are: * Registration: July 20, 2007 (11:59 EDT) * Submission: July 27, 2007 (11:59 EDT) * Notification: September 3, 2007 * Camera Ready: September 21, 2007 (11:59 EDT) For more information see http://im4win.cs.ucsb.edu/cfp.html, or contact the Workshop Chairs: * Dina Papagiannaki (Intel Research) * Kevin Almeroth (UC-Santa Barbara) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
