[Tccc] IEEE Green Communications] CFP: IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on Green Communications
by Honggang Zhang 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

(Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call for Papers) Dear all Colleagues, Historically, the very FIRST special issue of IEEE Communications Magazine with focus on "Green Communications" is planned to be published in November 2010. This special issue (feature topic issue) aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in technology, regulation and standardization for "Green Communications", and present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the coming green era. Please kindly refer to the following Call For Papers (CFP) for more detailed information. We are expecting your paper submission, contribution, and involvements as much as you can. With best regards, Guest Editor Team IEEE "Green Communications" Special Issue ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PAPERS (CFP) IEEE Communications Magazine Feature Topic Issue on "Green Communications" The unprecedented expansion of wireline and wireless networks has resulted in increase in energy consumption and left a significant environmental footprint. Recently, it has been reported that energy costs can account for as much as half of a mobile service provider's annual operating expenses. If the aggregate energy consumption of networking devices would follow the growth trajectories of Internet traffic (i.e., about 60% per year), the environmental and financial consequences will be dire. Thus, making ICT equipment and applications "greener" can not only have a tangible positive impact on environment, but also help operators attain long-term profitability. Moreover, green communications can help the world reduce dependence on fossil fuel, enable demand response and distributed energy resources, and ultimately achieve sustainable prosperity. Accordingly, a myriad of communications and information technologies have already been exploited by the global smart grid initiatives to empower conventional power grid to support two-way energy and information flow. To meet the green communications challenges, we have to resort to a plethora of paradigm-shifting technologies, including but not limiting to energy-efficient network architecture & protocols, energy-efficient wireless transmission techniques, energy-efficient home networking, energy-aware backbone networks, Smart Grid, and opportunistic spectrum sharing without causing harmful interference pollution (e.g., Green Spectrum). This IEEE Communications Magazine special issue (feature topic issue) aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in technology, regulation and standardization for "Green Communications", and present a holistic view of research challenges and opportunities in the coming green era. Suggested topics include but not limit to the following: . Energy-efficient circuit and device . Energy-efficient transmission switching and routing technologies . Energy-efficient base station architectures and networking . Energy-efficiency in wired and wireless access networks . Energy-efficiency in home and enterprise networking . Energy efficiency of data centers and intelligent cloud computing . Protocols and protocol extensions to enable energy efficient networks . Network-wide cross-layer optimizations to minimize energy consumption . Network load balance and smart information storage in distributed networks . Instrumentation for energy consumption measurement . Remote power management for wireless terminals and access networks . Hierarchical and distributed techniques for energy management . Harvesting distributed energy generation . Smart Grid . Information theory on energy efficiency . Cognitive, cooperative and reconfigurable networks . Energy evaluation and comparison of different network technologies . Novel network concepts and architectures lowering the overall footprint of ICT (e.g., Compressed Sensing for network monitoring) . Realistic estimation of the worldwide footprint of communications and future evolution . Assessment of the footprint of individual communication devices, including life cycle assessment . Regulation and standardization . Deployment, trial experience, business models and applications (e.g., green multimedia broadcasting, femtocells) Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the field. Authors must follow the IEEE Communications Magazine's guidelines for preparation of the manuscript. Complete guidelines for prospective authors can be found at www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html <http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ci1/info/sub_guidelines.html> .

The wireless way of communicating makes plant setup and modification easier, more flexible and cheaper. It provides a natural approach towards communication with mobile robots or mobile plant subsystems where fixed cables are in constant danger of breaking. The industrial interest in wireless solutions is growing rapidly, standardization efforts such as Wireless HART and ISA 100 are underway, and hardware for embedded wireless is dropping in price. It can therefore be expected that wireless technologies will be integrated into distributed control systems on a broad scale. However, there are still open issues about data security, reliability and performance of the wireless control loop that may limit the rate of adoption. The goal of the special section is to attract theoretical and practical papers attacking the main issues and problems regarding the adoption of wireless technologies for networked control, ranging from theoretical foundations to the reporting of implementation experiences and applications. The results must be original and previously unpublished. Substantially extended versions of conference papers will also be considered for publication. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Industrial wireless networking for efficient, reliable and timely data transmission: low-layer (MAC/link/physica-layer) protocols and multi-hop (routing, transport) protocols * Theory and methodology for reliable and robust wireless networked control * Novel solutions for re-configurable, resilient and fault tolerant wireless control * Security for industrial wireless systems * Middleware and higher-layer support for wireless networked control systems * Hybrid wired/wireless networked control systems * Experiences from industrial deployments of wireless control * Innovative wireless networked control applications --------------------------------------------------------------- DEADLINES Paper submission deadline: October 31, 2009 Expected publication date: November 2010 (tentative) MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION Follow the guidelines in Information for Authors in http://ieee-ies.org/tii/ Submit using Manuscript Central only http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tii --------------------------------------------------------------- GUEST EDITORS Carlo Fischione KTH Royal Institute of Technology Karl Henrik Johansson KTH Royal Institute of Technology Mikael Johansson KTH Royal Institute of Technology Andreas Willig TU Berlin Note: The recommended papers for the section are subject to final approval by the Editor in Chief.

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Elsevier's Information Fusion Journal, Special Issue on "Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks" http://www.elsevierscitech.com/lmfile/otherformat/IFJ-CFP-RCN-Final.pdf Submission Deadline: February 28, 2010 The Information Fusion Journal (IFJ), an Elsevier publication (JCR 2008: 2.057), is planning a special issue devoted to Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks. Resource-Constrained Networks (RCNs) include a wide variety of networks in which resources - such as processing, communication, and energy - are limited. Examples of RCNs include ad hoc networks, sensor networks, mobile networks, and pervasive systems. In RCNs, the tradeoff between data quality and resource usage (especially energy) is a major concern. In this case, Localized Algorithms and Information Fusion are particularly interesting for RCNs, since the development of efficient practical solutions and algorithms is possibly the most challenging task for such networks. On one hand, Localized Algorithms are special distributed algorithms in which only a subset of nodes partakes in the network tasks, such as data acquisition, processing, and communication. On the other hand, Information Fusion is often used for improving the quality of data being transmitted in these networks. Thus, Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion must deal with the challenge of working with partial views, or incomplete data, to provide accurate results at reduced cost. This special issue will cover a broad range of aspects of Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCNs, including ad hoc and mobile networks, wireless sensor networks, networked pervasive systems. We seek technical papers describing original (previously unpublished in any form or forum) ideas, groundbreaking results, and quantified system experiences. We especially encourage submissions that highlight practical deployments of RCNs, new application domains, and critical surveys of the state-of-the-art. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - In-network query processing and data storage; - Localized signal processing; - Localized estimation, reasoning, and inference; - Localized information fusion for time synchronization; - Localized information fusion for location discovery and location-based services; - Localized information fusion for reliability and fault tolerance; - Localized information fusion for communication protocols at all layers (MAC, scheduling, routing, transport, and application); - Quality-aware resource management using localized information fusion; - Mobility control and coordination; - Optimization techniques for localized information fusion in homogeneous and heterogeneous RCNs; - Localized information fusion for data compression and distributed source coding. Manuscripts must describe original, completed, and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should follow the Information Fusion (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/inffus. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically online at http://ees.elsevier.com/inffus. In the submission process, the authors should clearly indicate that the submission is to be considered for this special issue. Manuscripts must be in single-column format, doublespaced, at least 11 pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including figures, tables, algorithms, and references. Simultaneously, please also send without fail an electronic copy (PDF only), to the Guest Editor(s) listed below. Submission Deadline: February 28, 2010 Guest Editors Dr. Eduardo F.

HotMobile 2010 Please note the new submission deadline: Midnight EDT Sunday 18th October. The Eleventh Workshop on Mobile Computing, Systems, and Applications Annapolis, MD, USA February 22-23, 2010 http://www.hotmobile.org/2010/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE Call for Papers ACM HotMobile 2010, the eleventh Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2010 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas.To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Important Dates Paper submission due (new date): Sunday October 18th, 2009 Acceptance notification: To be announced Revised papers due: To be announced Paper submissions are due by 23:59:59 EDT on Sunday October 18th, 2009. Paper Submission Instructions Paper submissions are due on Oct 12th 2009 at 23:59:59 PDST (Pacific Daylight Savings Time). Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates Submission link: http://mobile.cod.cs.duke.edu/hotcrp/ (Also available on main website http://www.hotmobile.org/2010/?pid=home ) The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and distributed at the workshop on a USB memory stick. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. ________________________________ Roy Want Intel Labs, Santa Clara Mailstop RNB-6-61 2200 Mission College Blvd Santa Clara, CA 95052-8819 Tel: (408) 765 9204 Fax: (408) 653 9861 Lab: (408) 765 6909 Admin: (408) 765 0663 Web: http://www.speakeasy.org/~roywant/cs/ ----------------------------------------------------- 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.

[Tccc] CFP: Ubiquitous Deployments of Body Sensor Networks (IJAACS)
by lei shu 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems (IJAACS) http://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=1254 Special Issue on: "Ubiquitous Deployments of Body Sensor Networks" The rapid growth in medical sensing technologies with low power requirements and wireless data transmission has led to ubiquitous deployments of body sensor networks (BSNs), i.e. networks of sensors worn on or implanted in a person, sensing vital readings and transmitting these (wirelessly) to a base station. Applications are often in the healthcare domain, for keeping an eye on one’s health status or for monitoring chronic conditions (diabetes, asthma, cardiovascular issues). This data can then be forwarded to clinicians, carers or hospitals in real time (especially important for alerts). In the past, existing wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been modified as BSNs for usage in biomedical applications. However, traditional WSNs suffer from various limitations when they are deployed in such applications, including restricted bandwidth capabilities and limits in terms of computational power (especially considering the amount of data that is being read, processed and streamed or transmitted). Therefore, modified WSN frameworks alone are often deemed to be infeasible for BSN applications, and substantial research is required to overcome these and other limitations by taking into account the requirements for biomedical sensing applications. As these BSNs become ubiquitous - monitoring not just chronic conditions but a person’s everyday health - new challenges in terms of secure communications, interoperability and device size become evident. This special issue will publish high-quality papers that describe how various issues in the deployment of ubiquitous body sensor networks have been addressed by researchers and practitioners in this domain. Distinguished papers accepted and presented at UBSN 2010, after further revisions, will also be included in the issue. Subject Coverage: Some of the topics that may be described include but are not limited to: * Interoperability o BSN systems must ensure seamless data transfer across standards such as Bluetooth or ZigBee to encourage information exchange, plug-and-play device interaction, etc. The definition of standards for data exchange may be required. * Scalability o Systems should be scalable, ensuring efficient migration for a patient or person across networks and offering uninterrupted connectivity for those both wearing and monitoring UBSNs. * Privacy o Transmission of data within UBSNs and between UBSNs and other networks must be both secure and precise, e.g. to avoid a patient’s data being corrupted or accidentally including another patient’s readings. * Security o Some consider BSN technologies as a potential threat to their privacy (or even safety), if applications could be tampered with beyond their intended exclusive medical usage. Social acceptance is key to UBSNs finding wider application, but extensive testing and reviews can aid with such reassurances. * Devices o The sensors used in UBSNs should be light, low in complexity, have reduced form factors, and be easily reconfigurable. * Storage o Storage devices are needed to facilitate remote storage and viewing of patient data via the Internet, as well as allowing access to background processing algorithms and analysis tools. Important Dates Manuscript submission deadline: 20 November, 2009 Notification of acceptance: 20 January, 2010 Submission of final revised paper: 20 March 2010 Notes for Prospective Authors Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

[We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message] -------------------------------------------------------------- 2010 International Workshop on Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks (UBSN 2010) http://sites.google.com/site/ubsn2010 In conjunction with The 5th International Wireless Internet Conference (WICON 2010) http://www.wicon.org/ -------------------------------------------------------------- Submission deadline: 15 Oct 2009 OVERVIEW: Recently, there has been increased investigation into new types of wireless sensor networks located on or around the human body, which are generally known as body sensor networks (BSNs). Following continuous advances in wireless communication technologies, there has been growing interest in the design, development and deployment of BSN systems in applications for improving people's daily life, which has led to an increased demand for interconnecting BSNs with other emerging wireless technologies, such as RFID technology, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiBree, video surveillance systems, WPAN, WLAN, the Internet, and cellular networks. With BSNs being incorporated into these technologies, BSNs have become ubiquitous. As a result of this, and due to an increased demand for advanced e-healthcare management systems in recent years, the marketing opportunities for advanced consumer electronics and related services have greatly increased. More and more autonomous and intelligent applications which are closely integrated with a person's everyday life are being generated. For example, by using BSNs to collect patient information, and by deploying diverse wireless networking systems for enhanced diagnostic assistance and action handling, better e-healthcare management systems can be designed for providing more desirable services. In this workshop, we solicit research papers (regular papers and posters) on hardware for body sensors, system architectures, networking and communication protocols, applications, testbeds and prototypes, biomedical sensor data processing and sensor data management. In particular, we are interested in the following communication issues: * Intra-BSN Communication: The term "intra-BSN communication" defines communications directly related to the user (within radio coverage of about 2 meters), which consists of two categories: (1) the communications amongst the body sensors, which are deployed strategically on the human body, implanted inside the body, or attached within in the person's clothing; (2) the communication between the body sensors and the portable personal server, which typically can be a cell phone, PDA or headset. * Inter-BSN communication: The term "inter-BSN communication" defines communications between the personal server and one or more access points. The access point can be deployed as a part of a home or work infrastructure, or strategically placed within a dynamic environment for handling emergency situations. Inter-BSN communications will interconnect BSNs with the wide range of networks which are easily accessible in daily life. * Beyond-BSN communication: Beyond-BSN communication is used to interconnect a BSN with the outside world, which enhances the application possibilities and brings the coverage / range of body sensor systems a step further via pervasive communication technologies, such as the Internet and cellular networks. The objective of this workshop is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects of Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference/workshop are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New applications of ubiquitous body-sensor networks, e.g., healthcare and consumer electronics applications * Remote health/fitness monitoring in ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., location and mobility issues * Ambulatory monitoring (activity monitoring, fall detection, cardiac and wellbeing monitoring) and BSN assisted rehabilitation, bio-motion, wellbeing analysis and clinical applications * Emerging engineering issues and wearable, implantable/ingestible sensor integration and development platforms, e.g., new operating systems, middleware, etc. * Scalable and flexible network architectures and deployments for ubiquitous body sensor networks * Advanced body sensor devices, e.g., novel bioelectrical, biochemical, biophysical, and mechanical sensors * Networking and data transmission issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks * Integrating emerging wireless technologies with ubiquitous body sensor networks * Integration with ambient sensors for personalized smart spaces and applications * Link to environment sensing, smart dwellings, and home monitoring * Standards for light-weight communication protocols and integration with heterogeneous networks * Advanced algorithms for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., routing, data processing, packet scheduling * Power efficient issues, e.g., low power RF transceivers, energy scavenging, miniaturization, system integration * Signal processing, context awareness and multi-sensory fusion * MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for Intra-BSN Communication * Mobile and multimedia supported ubiquitous body sensor networks * Server side body sensor networks information processing, data mining, transient pattern recognition, and long-term, predictive trend analysis * Sensor data management issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., publish-subscribe approach * Query processing and optimization for ubiquitous body sensor networks * Sensor data stream processing in ubiquitous body sensor networks * Semantic Web technology enabled ubiquitous body sensor networks * Adaptability and stability of ubiquitous body sensor networks * Transactions and workflows in ubiquitous body sensor networks * Information support, security, privacy, and fault tolerance issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks Important Dates: * Submission Deadline: October 15, 2009 (EST) * Acceptance Notice: November 15, 2009 * Final Manuscript: November 25, 2009 * Publication Date: March 1-3, 2010 Submission Instructions Please submit your paper(s) in PDF format to: * Min Chen, minchen(a)ece.ubc.ca and Lei Shu, lei.shu(a)ieee.org All submissions will be reviewed by the technical program committee and will be judged by their technical merit and relevance to workshop.

[InternetTC] The Second International Workshop on Information Quality and Quality of Service for Pervasive Computing (IQ2S 2010) - Deadline extended to Oct. 20!
by Habib Ammari 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

The Second International Workshop on Information Quality and Quality of Service for Pervasive Computing (IQ2S 2010) http://www.iq2s.org in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2010 (http://www.percom.org/) Mannheim, Germany, March 29 - April 2, 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS Pervasive computing enables computers to interact with the real world in a ubiquitous and natural manner. It is, in its core, an application-driven discipline encompassing the pervasive acquisition, transportation, processing, and consumption of information from diverse sources, including widespread sensor deployments. Thus, the traditional study of QoS in transporting sensory data in pervasive systems ought to be balanced with the study of QoI in delivering sensor-originated information. Quality of Information (QoI) or Information Quality (IQ) relates to informationÕs level of fitness for a purpose, e.g., when contributing to an applicationÕs utility. Harnessing and optimizing the QoI derived from sensor networks will be key to bringing together effectively the aforementioned acquisition, transportation, processing, and consumption elements that the broad spectrum of smart, information-intensive, sensor-enabled pervasive applications depend on, such as remote habitat monitoring, utility grid monitoring, environmental control, supply-chain management, healthcare, intelligent transportation systems, military intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), border control, and hazardous material monitoring, just to mention a few. The effectiveness of an applicationÕs actions using a piece of information serves as the ultimate measure of the informationÕs quality and value-add; an action may be highly effective achieving all its anticipated goals, partially effective, or entirely ineffective. Complementing traditional provisioning of QoS with QoI and action effectiveness for pervasive computing is challenging and difficult due to the resource constrained, dynamic and distributed nature of the sensory systems involved, their security weaknesses, and so on. Novel mechanisms and designs are required which integrate QoI with network and computational QoS that take into account the aforementioned challenges while dealing with different types of sensory resources and their inter-dependencies. It is an objective of this workshop to provide a forum to exchange ideas, present results, share experience, and enhance collaborations among researchers, professionals, and application developers working on QoI and QoS in wireless sensor networks for pervasive computing.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFPs, Special Issue on "Wireless Sensor Networks: From Theory to Practices and Applications" Datum: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 17:27:01 +0800 Von: Xiao Wendong <wxiao(a)i2r.a-star.edu.sg> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Journal of Control Theory and Applications (http://www.springer.com/computer/hardware/journal/11768 <http://www.springer.com/computer/hardware/journal/11768> ) Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks: From Theory to Practices and Applications Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is characterized by the dense deployment of sensor nodes that continuously observe physical phenomenon. The main advantages of WSN include its low cost, rapid deployment, self-organization, and fault tolerance. WSN has received tremendous interests of various research communities, and significant progresses have been made in various aspects including sensor platform development, wireless communication and networking, application signal and information processing, as well as network performance evaluation and design. Such work has established good foundation for WSN research and development. The research and development of WSNs are stimulated by novel exciting applications. For example, WSNs, particularly the wireless body sensor network, make the old people/patient healthcare monitoring possible in smart home environment, where advanced signal processing algorithms are required to extract medical parameters like heart beat rate from raw sensor measurements such as ECG signal, estimation algorithms are required for occupant location and motion tracking, and machine learning algorithms are required for occupant activity recognition. The indoor environment (e.g., temperature and humidity) can be monitored by ambient wireless sensor network, and help design highly efficient distributed air-conditioning control system to improve the energy efficiency and enhance occupant comfort. Such WSN applications must address a number of key technological challenges induced by limited network resources such as node energy and network bandwidth. As a result, the application algorithms should be resource constrained and the network protocols should be application-driven. Advanced closed-loop system can be expected as an integrated system solution to link the application algorithms and the lower layer networking protocols by means of control theoretic or optimization approaches. To be scalable and reliable, such algorithms and protocols should also be distributed in nature via node local processing and collaboration with limited information exchange to achieve complex overall network goal. This special issue is a follow-up of the previous special issue on Networked Sensing, Decision Making and Control in Journal of Control Theory and Applications organized by Lihua Xie and Frank L. Lewis, which received warm responses. Different from that special issue, which mainly addresses the theoretic approaches for WSNs and networked control systems challenged by network uncertainties and limited resources, this special issue will be more focused on novel real WSN applications and application-driven research and development. Papers with real practices on platform development, network deployment, and system operational lessons or experience are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * WSN theoretic approaches: - Distributed and collaborative signal processing - Target detection, classification, and tracking - Network modeling and optimization - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Coverage and topology control - Adaptive and mobile sampling - Consensus estimation and cooperation * WSN applications: - Healthcare monitoring - Environment monitoring - Surveillance system - Networked manufacturing system - Structural health monitoring; - Cognitive sensing and spectrum management - Military and battlefield applications All the submissions will be subject to peer review in accordance with the standard review procedures of the Journal of Control Theory and Applications.

The papers should not be longer than 25-30 pages, single column, double space, 11 or 12 pt font, including figures, tables and references. They must be submitted in the form of PDF file to the submission system https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/IMMC/. Information about the manuscript (title, full list of authors, corresponding author’s contact, abstract, and keywords) should also be sent to the corresponding editor Meng Wang (mengwang(a)microsoft.com). All the papers will be peer-reviewed following the MMSJ reviewing procedures. ------------------------- *Summary* ------------------------- Recent years have witnessed the flourish of multimedia data on the Internet. To facilitate humans in accessing and managing the explosively growing multimedia content, extensive research efforts have been dedicated to automatic multimedia analysis and processing in the last decades, such as categorization, annotation and indexing. However, despite great advances in recent years, several key difficulties still exist, the most important of which is the semantic gap in multimedia modeling. It is evident from recent results that most of the semantic gap problems cannot be solved automatically within the near future and without additional information or resources. On the other hand, we have witnessed the power of collective human efforts in the Web 2.0 era in providing high-quality tags and comments to large amounts of images and videos in sites such as Flickr and YouTube. In fact, a lot more can be accomplished through simple online games such as the ESP. Hence, more and more researchers believe that a possible approach to addressing the semantic gap problem is to incorporate the efforts of humans into the computational process, i.e., by combining human intelligence and automated computer processing to jointly tackle the problems in a collaborative manner. The past decade has witnessed the increase of such efforts, such as relevance feedback in content-based image retrieval, active learning in multimedia modeling, the interactive video search evaluation task in TRECVID, new search and browsing interfaces in VideoOlympics to facilitate humans’ interaction, and the recent human computation efforts such as the ESP game on Google image search website. This special issue aims to bring together the range of research efforts in interactive multimedia computing. The goals of this special issue are threefold: (1) to introduce novel research work and systems in this area; (2) to survey the progress of this direction in the past years; and (3) to discuss new technologies that will be potentially impactful (primary results are needed). The submitted papers will be peer reviewed and selected based on their quality and relevance to the theme of this special issue. ------------------------- *Scope* ------------------------- The scope of this special issue is to cover all aspects that relate to interactive multimedia computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to * Interactive multimedia processing, including interactive image/video editing, image segmentation, video summarization, etc. * Interactive multimedia management, including semi-automatic multimedia categorization, clustering, browsing, dataset construction, etc. * Interactive multimedia search, including relevance feedback, query suggestion, image/video recommendation, novel search and browsing interface, etc. * Interactive multimedia modeling, including semi-automatic image/video concept learning and the related techniques such as active learning and on-line learning. * Multimedia tagging, including new tagging interface, tag recommendation, tag classification, tag filtering, etc. * Interactive multimedia knowledge mining, such as semi-automatic lexicon/ontology construction and user interests/trends/relationships mining. * Game-based multimedia applications, including game-based multimedia data collection, labeling, advertising, recommendation, etc. * CAPTCHA-based multimedia applications, including CAPTCHA-based multimedia data collection, labeling, etc. ------------------------- *Contacts* ------------------------- Please address all correspondences regarding this special issue to the Guest Editors Dr. Meng Wang (mengwang(a)microsoft.com <mailto:mengwang@microsoft.com>), Dr. Jinhui Tang (tangjh(a)comp.nus.edu.sg <mailto:tangjh@comp.nus.edu.sg>), Dr. Xian-Sheng Hua (xshua(a)microsoft.com <mailto:xshua@microsoft.com>) and Dr. Tat-Seng Chua (chuats(a)comp.nus.edu.sg <mailto:chuats@comp.nus.edu.sg>). ----------------------------- Best regards, Meng, Jinhui, Xian-Sheng and Tat-Seng

HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2010 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas.To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Important Dates Paper submission due: October 12, 2009 Acceptance notification: To be announced Revised papers due: To be announced Paper submissions are due by 23:59 PDST on Monday October 12, 2009.

[Tccc] CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Underwater Networks (WUnderNet), May 2010
by Hwee-Pink Tan 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

[Apologies for multiple postings] 2nd International Workshop on Underwater Networks (WUnderNet 2010) http://www1.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/~hptan/WUnderNet2010 In conjunction with IEEE ICC Capetown, South Africa, May 2010. More than 70% of the earth's surface is covered by water. Despite having strong influences and impact on climate regulation, nutrient production, oil retrieval and transportation, the oceans remain the least explored frontiers of this planet and many oceanic and maritime applications seem relatively slow in exploiting the state-of-the-art info-communications technologies. The natural and man-made disasters that have taken place over the last few years have aroused significant interest in monitoring oceanic environments for scientific, environmental, commercial, safety, homeland security and military needs. The shipbuilding and offshore engineering industries are also increasingly interested in technologies like sensor networks as an economically viable alternative to currently adopted and costly methods used in seismic monitoring, structural health monitoring, installation and mooring, etc. The technology used in current remote telemetry and in-situ local sensing systems leaves much to be desired. Ideally, there should be highly precise, real-time, fine grained spatial sampling of the target environment, be it a physical structure like an oil rig, or the ocean bed in the vicinity of frequent seismic activities. Wireless terrestrial ad hoc and sensor networks have been studied extensively but the notion of a wireless underwater network is relatively new due to the lack of an efficient underwater communications technology. The existing viable underwater communications technology is acoustic communications, which is characterized by severely limited range-dependent bandwidth and attenuation, extensive time-varying multipath propagation, long propagation times, and high temporal errors. This is a drastic change from the radio channel used by terrestrial wireless sensor networks and presents new challenges for every aspect of the network protocol suite. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and industry experts in areas relevant to underwater networks. Different aspects of the protocol stack from the physical layer to the application layer, as well as cross-layer issues, will be represented. The objective is to serve as a forum for presenting state-of-the-art research, exchanging ideas and experiences, and facilitating interaction and collaboration. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . Underwater network architecture design . Novel / Cognitive communications techniques . Cooperative communications . Acoustic signal propagation and physical layer issues (modulation, waveform, MIMO etc) . Delay-Tolerant Networking . Distributed Signal Processing . Network coding . Medium access control . Routing and data delivery . Reliability and robustness . Security Issues . Power management . New underwater energy sources . Localization and synchronization . Data fusion and aggregation . Cross layer Optimization . Performance modeling and simulations . New applications for underwater networks Committee Workshop General Chair Winston Seah, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand TPC Chairs Hwee-Pink Tan, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Jan Erik Hakegard, SINTEF, Norway TPC Members To be finalized.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [ACM/SIGMOBILE MobiOpp 2010]: Call for Papers Datum: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:00:16 +0200 Von: Emilio Ancillotti <emilio.ancillotti(a)iit.cnr.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The Second ACM International Workshop on Mobile Opportunistic Networking MobiOpp 2010 February 22-23, 2010, Pisa, Italy http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/mobiopp2010 sponsored by ACM/SIGMOBILE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Opportunistic Networking is one of the emerging communication paradigms in wireless mobile communications. Opportunistic networks are commonly defined as a type of challenged networks where communication opportunities are based on sporadic and intermittent contacts, disconnections and re-connections may frequently occur, and the assumption on the existence of an end-to-end path between the source and the destination is released. As compared to the legacy MANETs, where an always-connected infrastructure-less network is assumed, opportunistic networks are much closer to real pervasive networking scenarios, where devices (with sensing capabilities) are carried while users move, and can connect and disconnect continuously relying their communication chances on a store-carry-and-forward approach. The aim of MobiOpp 2010 is to bring together researchers working in this emerging area, thus also providing a reference event for those working on self-organizing wireless mobile networks which usually exploit the opportunistic communication paradigm. In this workshop we aim to explore novel research issues related to all aspects of opportunistic networks. Original contributions are solicited, being related to systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas of Opportunistic Networking. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Novel architectures * Routing protocols * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Resource management techniques * Dissemination and replication techniques * Opportunistic networking in P2P systems * Social-aware opportunisitc networking * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networking applications * Opportunistic networking in wireless sensor networks * Multimodal urban sensing * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Mobility models for opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements * Opportunistic networks performance modeling The workshop proceedings will be published by ACM.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: SI on Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCN Datum: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 09:01:38 -0400 Von: Eduardo Nakamura <efnaka(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Elsevier's Information Fusion Journal, Special Issue on "Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks" http://www.elsevierscitech.com/lmfile/otherformat/IFJ-CFP-RCN-Final.pdf Submission Deadline: February 28, 2010 The Information Fusion Journal (IFJ), an Elsevier publication (JCR 2008: 2.057), is planning a special issue devoted to Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks. Resource-Constrained Networks (RCNs) include a wide variety of networks in which resources – such as processing, communication, and energy – are limited. Examples of RCNs include ad hoc networks, sensor networks, mobile networks, and pervasive systems. In RCNs, the tradeoff between data quality and resource usage (especially energy) is a major concern. In this case, Localized Algorithms and Information Fusion are particularly interesting for RCNs, since the development of efficient practical solutions and algorithms is possibly the most challenging task for such networks. On one hand, Localized Algorithms are special distributed algorithms in which only a subset of nodes partakes in the network tasks, such as data acquisition, processing, and communication. On the other hand, Information Fusion is often used for improving the quality of data being transmitted in these networks. Thus, Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion must deal with the challenge of working with partial views, or incomplete data, to provide accurate results at reduced cost. This special issue will cover a broad range of aspects of Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCNs, including ad hoc and mobile networks, wireless sensor networks, networked pervasive systems. We seek technical papers describing original (previously unpublished in any form or forum) ideas, groundbreaking results, and quantified system experiences. We especially encourage submissions that highlight practical deployments of RCNs, new application domains, and critical surveys of the state-of-the-art. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - In-network query processing and data storage; - Localized signal processing; - Localized estimation, reasoning, and inference; - Localized information fusion for time synchronization; - Localized information fusion for location discovery and location-based services; - Localized information fusion for reliability and fault tolerance; - Localized information fusion for communication protocols at all layers (MAC, scheduling, routing, transport, and application); - Quality-aware resource management using localized information fusion; - Mobility control and coordination; - Optimization techniques for localized information fusion in homogeneous and heterogeneous RCNs; - Localized information fusion for data compression and distributed source coding. Manuscripts must describe original, completed, and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should follow the Information Fusion (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/inffus. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically online at http://ees.elsevier.com/inffus. In the submission process, the authors should clearly indicate that the submission is to be considered for this special issue. Manuscripts must be in single-column format, doublespaced, at least 11 pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including figures, tables, algorithms, and references.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Wiley I. J. of Comm. Systems Special Issue CfP: Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks Datum: Sun, 27 Sep 2009 10:15:24 +0100 Von: Yang, Kun <kunyang(a)essex.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Paper Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS) Special Issue on "Interdisciplinary and Cross-layer Design of Mobile Social Networks and Wireless Networks" Social Networks have attracted billions of active users under major online social network systems such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, DouBan, etc. Nowadays these social networks are increasingly used on mobile devices thus rendering a new research field of mobile social networks. The marriage of current wired-network-based social networks with mobile wireless networks triggers exciting new research areas. For instance, knowing the network features such as throughput and delay can help mobile social networks select a contact (e.g., a job advice centre) to which the network route has the best performance. This leads to the so-called wireless-aware social networks and the problem domain is within social networks. On the other hand, there is also social-aware or social inspired wireless network research where the knowledge of social network users is exploited for the benefit of wireless network design. Therefore, a cross-layer design that incorporates both the upper-layer mobile social networks and the lower-layer wireless networks is needed. And this comprises the thematic essence of this Special Issue. This cross-layer design method calls for a novel interdisciplinary research thinking that embraces not only these disciplines that are closely related to the field such as computer science, social science and network/communication engineering but also other subjects such as biology, physics, etc. The goal of this SI is to solicit the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions that embark on the above interdisciplinary and cross-layer design methodologies to design and implement a better-performed mobile social network or wireless network.

[Tccc] DWSAN4CIP'09 deadline is approaching
by Evgeny Osipov 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this e-mail.) CALL FOR PAPERS DWSAN4CIP 2009 International Workshop on Dependable Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks for Critical Infrastructure Protection http://www.wsan4cip.eu/dwsan4cip November 10, 2009, Madrid, Spain Organized by EU FP7 project WSAN4CIP Technically supported by IntelliCIS COST Action IC0806 OVERVIEW: It is hard to overestimate the role of ICT systems in operational cycles of modern industry and life supporting infrastructures. ICT control systems are used to continuously monitor the state of industrial processes and status of critical infrastructures. Over the last few years Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSAN) technology appeared as an ideal technological building block to improve the reliability and availability of ICTs in critical operational environments. On the other hand WSANs themselves become part of a critical infrastructures and processes. Whenever another layer of complexity is added to a system, this opens new possibilities for system failures, misuse or malicious attacks. The critical prerequisite for WSANs to be adopted in performance critical applications is their dependability, i.e. the ability of a system to deliver specified services to the user. It is, however, by far not trivial to make WSANs dependable for variety of applications in different operation environments and having different performance requirements. For DWSAN workshop we solicit original contributions aiming at achieving dependability of WSAN technology on different layers. Experiences from real-life deployment of dependable WSANs, application dependent WSAN design methodologies, dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, general issues of reliability, security in dependable WSANs are some of the key research topics to be discussed during the workshop. The goal of the workshop is to present high-quality results in the field, and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context, the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. Workshop Topics Topics of interest to DWSAN 2009 include (but are not limited to) the following: * Real life experience from deployment of wireless sensor networks in critical applications * Methodologies for assessment of performance requirements * Methodologies for systematic design of WSAN communication architecture * Application of control theory for cross-layer optimization of dependable communication protocols for WSAN * Dependable MAC protocols * Dependable routing protocols * Dependable transport protocols * Intelligent energy and QoS management * Fault tolerant middleware for WSANs * Operating systems for dependable WSANs * Security services Proceedings This year DWSAN4CIP offers only Fast Track publication in workshop proceedings. Authors are invited to submit their contributions as a two pages extended abstract in double column IEEE format. Up to 10 best contributions will be invited to submit full papers for publication in electronic workshop proceedings. Revised and extended versions of the most outstanding papers will be suggested for publication in the International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection (Elsevier). Important Dates Paper submission: September 30, 2009 Acceptance notification: October 15, 2009 Camera ready: October 30, 2009 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
