[Fwd: CFP: EURASIP Journal of Applied Signal Processing Special Issue on Visual Sensor Networks]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: EURASIP Journal of Applied Signal Processing Special Issue on Visual Sensor Networks Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2005 02:26:35 -0500 From: Dr. Deepa Kundur <deepa(a)ee.tamu.edu> To: comm-theory(a)ieee.org, tccc(a)comsoc.org, multicomm(a)comsoc.org, itc(a)comsoc.org CC: Deepa Kundur <deepa(a)ee.tamu.edu>, Ching-Yung Lin <chingyung(a)us.ibm.com>, Chun-Shien Lu <lcs(a)iis.sinica.edu.tw> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing Special Issue on Visual Sensor Networks Call for Papers Research into the design, development, and deployment of networked sensing devices for high-level inference and surveillance of the physical environment has grown tremendously in the last few years. This trend has been motivated, in part, by recent technological advances in electronics, communication networking, and signal processing. Sensor networks are commonly comprised of lightweight distributed sensor nodes such as low-cost video cameras. There is inherent redundancy in the number of nodes deployed and corresponding networking topology. Operation of the network requires autonomous peer-based collaboration amongst the nodes and intermediate data-centric processing amongst local sensors. The intermediate processing known as in-network processing is application-specific. Often, the sensors are untethered so that they must communicate wirelessly and be battery-powered. Initial focus was placed on the design of sensor networks in which scalar phenomena such as temperature, pressure, or humidity were measured. It is envisioned that much societal use of sensor networks will also be based on employing content-rich vision-based sensors. The volume of data collected as well as the sophistication of the necessary in-network stream content processing provide a diverse set of challenges in comparison with generic scalar sensor network research. Applications that will be facilitated through the development of visual sensor networking technology include automatic tracking, monitoring and signaling of intruders within a physical area, assisted living for the elderly or physically disabled, environmental monitoring, and command and control of unmanned vehicles. Many current video-based surveillance systems have centralized architectures that collect all visual data at a central location for storage or real-time interpretation by a human operator. The use of distributed processing for automated event detection would significantly alleviate mundane or time-critical activities performed by human operators, and provide better network scalability. Thus, it is expected that video surveillance solutions of the future will successfully utilize visual sensor networking technologies. Given that the field of visual sensor networking is still in its infancy, it is critical that researchers from the diverse disciplines including signal processing, communications, and electronics address the many challenges of this emerging field. This special issue aims to bring together a diverse set of research results that are essential for the development of robust and practical visual sensor networks. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): o Sensor network architectures for high-bandwidth vision applications o Communication networking protocols specific to visual sensor networks o Scalability, reliability, and modeling issues of visual sensor networks o Distributed computer vision and aggregation algorithms for low-power surveillance applications o Fusion of information from visual and other modalities of sensors o Storage and retrieval of sensor information o Security issues for visual sensor networks o Visual sensor network testbed research o Novel applications of visual sensor networks o Design of visual sensors Authors should follow the EURASIP JASP manuscript format described at the journal site http://www.hindawi.info/asp/ . Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the EURASIP JASP's manuscript tracking system at journal's web site, according to the following timetable.

[Fwd: Call for Papers: Distributed Multimedia Streaming at CCNC 2006]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers: Distributed Multimedia Streaming at CCNC 2006 Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 21:53:22 +0200 From: Pascal Frossard <pascal.frossard(a)epfl.ch> To: <multicomm(a)comsoc.org> Please ignore if you already received this message ===================================== CALL FOR PAPERS 2006 IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference (CCNC 2006) January 7-10, 2006 - Las Vegas, USA Special Session on Distributed Multimedia Streaming Multimedia streaming is one of the most popular services on the current Internet. Its already-high demand is even on the rise as the Internet users have started to be familiar with peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies which enable them to share contents between one another directly. Streaming in the P2P manner, in contrast to the traditional client/server approach, takes advantage of existing end-system computational and networking resources, thus allowing economical clients to leverage their collective power to benefit the entire service community. However, multimedia content is resource demanding while user computing devices are not as powerful as are content servers. Consequently, designing a good decentralized streaming scheme in a large-scale peer-to-peer environment is challenging. The problem becomes more of a challenge due to the ad hoc behavior of peers; they can leave and join the system freely at any time. As people tend to work beyond their office desk, it is also expected that the next generation of communication networks includes rapid deployments of independent mobile users. With the emergence of wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11 and Bluetooth, mobile users are enabled to connect to each other directly without any networking infrastructure such as the Internet and infrastructure-based wireless LANs. In other words, the users form a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). As multimedia streaming becomes an integrated part of an increasing number of applications and wireless networks are emerging to dominate the communication environment of the future, it is interesting and worthwhile to investigate multimedia streaming solutions for MANETs. There are many open issues regarding this investigation due to the deviation between the resource, energy, and bandwidth availability of ad hoc networks and the quality of service desired by multimedia streaming users. This special session seeks original contributions of high-quality papers that address novel systems challenges towards the success of multimedia streaming deployment in peer-to-peer, content distribution, and wireless ad hoc networks. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Signal processing/compression/information theories to support ad hoc multimedia streaming * Modeling, measurement, and performance study on ad hoc multimedia streaming * Internet P2P multimedia streaming * P2P multimedia content distribution networks * Ad hoc overlay solutions for multimedia streaming * Live streaming, video on demand, and video conferencing in wireless ad hoc networks * Network and transport protocols for streaming in wireless ad hoc networks * Management, QoS, and security aspects in streaming over wireless ad hoc networks * Streaming applications in sensor networks * Implementations of multimedia streaming in ad hoc networks Important Dates Paper submission deadline: September 5th, 2005 --- EXTENDED Notification of acceptance: September 30, 2005 Camera-ready version due: October 14, 2005 Special Session Co-Chairs Thinh Nguyen, Oregon State University (thinhq(a)eecs.orst.edu) Duc A. Tran, University of Dayton (duc.tran(a)notes.udayton.edu) Pascal Frossard, EPFL (pascal.frossard(a)epfl.ch) Information for Authors Prospective authors are invited to submit their draft papers preferably through EDAS (http://edas.info/), or by email to one of the co-chairs.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] Wireless Measurements Workshop CFP Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2005 12:17:41 -0700 (PDT) From: Kevin C. Almeroth <almeroth(a)cs.ucsb.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Second International Workshop on Wireless Network Measurement (WiNMee) (co-located with WiOpt) April 3, 2006 Boston, Massachusetts, USA http://www.winmee.org/ WiNMee 2006 will be the second international workshop on Wireless Network Measurement. The first workshop, WiNMee 2005, was held in Lago di Gardi, Italy and was highly successful with 32 submissions and 13 accepted papers. This year we hope to build on the success of last year by bringing researchers together to discuss the next generation of wireless network measurement research. Wireless networking has attracted much recent interest. Nonetheless, performance evaluation of wireless protocols, networks, and applications are still largely based on simulations. Only recently have researchers turned their attention to measuring real-world networks; building models based on real-world data and using testbeds to more realistically evaluate their proposed ideas. Accurate network measurements have proven to be a different and a greater challenge than in wired networks. Accurate data models that reflect the unique characteristics of wireless networks have also proven to be more of a challenge. Wireless network testbeds have proven to be yet another hard environments in which to work due to the many unique properties of the wireless medium. For example, results in wireless testbeds are often difficult to reproduce due to performance variations caused by location,weather, time of day, and other uncontrollable external variables.Testbeds are also challenging because implementing novel solutions often requires significant changes to the network as well as careful observation and measurement. The committee for WiNMee 2006 is soliciting 6 page papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments, either in testbeds or in the field. Topics include: * Operational experience on the performance of wireless networks * Challenges with wireless measurements * Experimental (in)validation of assumptions in a wireless environments * Metrics for wireless network for performance evaluation * Wireless network troubleshooting techniques and recommendations * Experience with building/designing wireless networks * Description of tools for building and/or managing wireless testbeds * Techniques for testbed scaling * Techniques for improving experiment repeatability * Techniques for validating results obtained from wireless testbeds * Methods for simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration * Mobility pattern implementation Important Dates Submission deadline: December 4, 2005 Notification deadline: January 26, 2006 Camera-ready due: February 26, 2006 Workshop: April 3, 2006 Submission Instructions Submitted papers should not exceed 6 pages in length and should be formatted in two columns with a point size greater or equal to 10.

WSNs are characterized by a need to carefully integrate functionalities traditionally considered to be separate in order to achieve maximum efficiency, especially with respect to energy consumption and management. Hence, a close interaction of research from different backgrounds is required. Additionally, WSNs are evolving from simple data transportation networks to functionally rich distributed systems, e.g., because actuators in the network have to be supported. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds, from hardware to applications, to create a forum where cross-layer integration, novel solutions for specific problems, and the future development of WSN functionalities can be discussed. We encourage contributions describing innovative work on WSN. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Hardware for WSN: transceiver concepts, wakeup radio, antenna design, system integration, process and cost of manufacturing, battery technology, energy scavenging, miniaturization * Communication protocols: MAC and link layer problems, routing and transport protocols tailored for WSN, redundancy, data aggregation, mobility support, gateways to fixed Internet, providing functionalities like localization and synchronization * Operating systems and programming abstractions: novel concepts and tools for programming and debugging sensor nodes, high-level programming abstractions * Middleware and service infrastructures: configuration and installation support, lookup of available functionalities, group communication, QoS support, localization and synchronization services, integrating WSN in existing middleware architectures * Information processing: querying, coding, compression, fusion, aggregation, event detection, classification, tracking * Security: primitives for appropriate cryptographic protocols, secure system engineering * Novel applications: requirements, experiences with real-world applications; the role of WSNs in realizing the visions of Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence * Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds: novel sensor node prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds, debugging and testing * Models: energy and resource consumption, applications, mobility, and communication For further information, please visit the workshop website (http://www.ewsn.org) or contact the program chairs at <pcchairs(a)ewsn.org>.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: 3rd Workshop on Context Modeling and Reasoning (CoMoRea'06)]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: 3rd Workshop on Context Modeling and Reasoning (CoMoRea'06) Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2005 16:42:56 +1000 (EST) From: Jadwiga Indulska <jaga(a)itee.uq.edu.au> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu /* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. */ Call for Papers ======================================================================== 3rd Workshop on Context Modeling and Reasoning (CoMoRea) in conjunction with the 4th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communication (PerCom'06), Pisa, Italy, 17 March 2006. ======================================================================== http://www.percom.org http://www.nexus.uni-stuttgart.de/COMOREA Workshop Scope ======================================================================== There is a growing interest in context-aware applications that intelligently support user tasks by acting autonomously on behalf of users. Behaviour of context-aware applications depends not only on their internal state and user interactions but also on the context sensed during their execution. Some early models of context information already exist, however many research issues related to context information modelling are still not fully addressed. Existing context models vary in types of context information they can represent. While some models take the user's current situation, e.g. "in a meeting", into account others model the physical environment, i.e. locations. A more generic approach to context modelling is needed in order to capture various features of context information including a variety of types of context information, dependencies between context information, quality of context information and context histories. In addition, to ease software engineering problems encountered in programming context-aware applications, appropriate abstractions are necessary to support discovery and reuse of context information as well as scalable methods of context processing and management. This workshop's aim is to advance the state of the art in context modelling and reasoning and also discuss fundamental issues in context processing and management. The goal is to identify concepts, theories and methods applicable to context modelling and context reasoning as well as system-oriented issues related to the design and implementation of context-aware systems. Particular attention will be paid to hybrid approaches to context modelling, e.g. an integration of non-ontology based context models with ontology based context models. This workshop aims to accommodate and integrate the research scope of two workshops: CoMoRea05 (Hawaii, 2005) and the First International Workshop on Advanced Context Modelling, Reasoning and Management (Nottingham 2004). CoMoRea will provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss recent research results and ongoing work. A strong emphasis will be put on experiences with context modelling and the management of the context information. The workshop will foster exchange of experiences and collaboration among researchers. In particular, the following topics are of interest to this workshop: * Semantics and expressiveness of context models * Domain specific context models * Ontology based approaches to context modelling and reasoning * Hybrid context models (integration of various modelling techniques) * Advanced issues in context modelling (quality, ambiguity) * Context reasoning algorithms, their complexity and accuracy * Discovery and reuse of context information * Privacy of context information * Distributed and scalable context management * Experiences with using context models to build context-aware applications Submitted papers will be refereed by the workshop Program Committee. Accepted papers will appear in the PerCom 06 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Submissions ======================================================================== Submitted papers should address at least one of the workshop topics. The papers should be in the IEEE format and should be no more than 5 pages in length. Research papers must be an original unpublished work and not under review elsewhere. Experience reports must be stated as such and a comprehensive discussion of the taken approach, experiences, and its assessment is expected. Papers should be submitted in PDF format to Daniela Nicklas (danickla(a)informatik.uni-stuttgart.de) with a subject field `CoMoRea 2006 submission'. Accepted papers will appear in the combined PerCom 06 workshop proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society.
