-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: Workshop on Collaborative Modeling and Simulation (CoMetS) Datum: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:07:56 +0100 Von: Daniele Gianni <daniele.gianni(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ################################################################# IEEE WETICE 2010 1st International Workshop on Collaborative Modeling and Simulation CALL FOR PAPERS ################################################################# June 28 - June 30, 2010, Larissa (Greece) * **http://www.sel.uniroma2.it/CoMetS10* <http://www.sel.uniroma2.it/CoMetS10> ################################################################# # Papers Due: *** March 2, 2010 *** # Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings # by the IEEE Computer Society Press and indexed by EI. ################################################################# Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is increasingly becoming a central activity in the design of new systems and in the analysis of existing systems because it enables designers and researchers to investigate systems behavior through virtual representations. For this reason, M&S is gaining a primary role in many industrial and research fields, such as space, critical infrastructures, manufacturing, emergency management, biomedical systems and sustainable future. However, as the complexity of the investigated systems increases and the types of investigations widens, the cost of M&S activities increases because of the more complex models and of the communications among a wider number and variety of M&S stakeholders (e.g., sub-domain experts, simulator users, simulator engineers, and final system users). To address the increasing costs of M&S activities, collaborative technologies must be introduced to support these activities by fostering the sharing and reuse of models, by facilitating the communications among M&S stakeholders, and more generally by integrating processes, tools and platforms. Aside from seeking applications of collaborative technologies to M&S activities, the workshop seeks innovative contributions that deal with the application of M&S practices to the design of collaborative environments. These environments are continuously becoming more complex and therefore their design requires systematic approaches to meet the required quality of collaboration. This is important for two reasons: to reduce rework activities on the actual collaborative environment, and to maximize the productivity and the quality of the process the collaborative environment supports. M&S offers the methodologies and tools for such investigations and therefore it can be used to improve the quality of collaborative environments. A non-exhaustive list of hi-level topics includes: * collaborative environments for M&S * agent-based M&S * collaborative distributed simulation * net-centric M&S * web-based M&S * model sharing and reuse * model building and evaluation * modeling and simulation of business processes * modeling for collaboration * simulation-based performance evaluation of collaborative networks * model-driven simulation engineering * domain specific languages for the simulation of collaborative environments * domain specific languages for collaborative M&S To stimulate creativity, however, the workshop maintains a wider scope and invites interested researchers to present contributions that offer original perspectives on collaboration and M&S. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On-Line Submissions and Publication +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CoMetS'10 intends to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss key issues, approaches, open problems, innovative applications and trends in the workshop research area.

Challenges arise as emerging applications evolve to provide more scalable and comprehensive services. One of the biggest challenges is that traditional security technologies and measures may not meet user requirements in open, dynamic, heterogeneous, and distributed computing environments. Therefore, we need to build networks and systems in which emerging applications allow users to enjoy more scalable and comprehensive services while preserving trust, security and privacy at the same time. Following the success of TSP 2008 in Shanghai, China during December 17-20, 2008, and TSP-09 in Macau SAR, China, during October 12-14, 2009, “The Third IEEE International Symposium on Trust, Security and Privacy for Emerging Applications (TSP-10)” will be held in Bradford, UK, during June 29-July 1, 2010, in conjunction with “The 10th IEEE International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (CIT 2010)”, aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working on trust, security, privacy, and related issues such as technical, social, and cultural implications for all emerging devices, services, applications, networks, and systems, and providing a forum for them to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in this highly challenging research area.

Please send to interested colleagues and students. ############ MobileHCI2010 || Design Competition Call ########### 12th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services (MobileHCI 2010), September 7-10, 2010, Lisboa, Portugal *A Mobile World for All* http://www.mobilehci2010.org <http://www.mobilehci2010.org/> MobileHCI 2010 will be held September 7-10, 2010, in Lisboa, Portugal Doctoral Consortium Day, Workshops and Tutorials on September 7^th , 2010. MobileHCI 2010 is organised by the University of Lisboa, with the collaboration of the New University of Lisboa and the research centres LaSIGE and CITI, and in cooperation with ACM SIGCHI and ACM SIGMOBILE. *Accepted papers will be published in the annual conference proceedings and will be included in the ACM digital library. ############ MobileHCI2010 || Design Competition Call ########### /- Submission deadline: 9th April 2010, 23:59 GMT/ Chairs: Mauro Cherubini and Kris Mihalic Design Brief The design competition of MobileHCI 2010 focuses on mobile accessibility. Mobile phones are one of the most pervasive technologies on earth: almost every person has access to a mobile device. Yet, little attention has been given to the design of the interface of these devices, or to its services, to include more equitably people with different abilities or cultures. A big challenge of mobile UI design is the physical input limitation. In most cases users only have a simple 5-way controller, a few selection keys, and a keypad to enter both text and numbers. Recently, top of the line devices also include touch screens that are able to recognize multi-finger interaction. Nevertheless, this seems to be still limiting when compared to the myriad of possibilities offered by other technologies. In particular, sensing technologies could be easily incorporated into mobile devices that could broaden the range of interaction capabilities. Related to the lack of input is the limitation of the output capabilities of these devices. Screens are small, thus showing information and creating visual cues is a challenging task for designers. The iPod comes to mind as a good example of design solution to the input/output challenge. Apple designers started from the users’ goals and the context in which the device had to be used. Accessibility for mobile devices is not just a hardware challenge. The design of software components has to adapt to people with different abilities and needs. For instance, the design of an interface for people with visual impairment has to adapt its visual components so to maximize readability while maintaining internal and external consistency. Finally, accessibility for such universal technology should take into account people belonging to different cultures. The most obvious example is related to languages that are written from right to left – something that interfaces developed for western cultures do not take into account. However, supporting multiple cultures is not just a matter of rendering text. The metaphors that are associated with elements of the interface are often fundamentally driven by the particular culture of the designer of that interface. The challenge for MobileHCI2010 consists in designing innovative software and/or hardware solutions for mobile devices that could allow people with different abilities or cultures to be supported in achieving their goals and satisfying their needs. We are seeking examples and case studies of solutions that are designed with the focus on users’ needs and context of use. The Design Competition The competition comprises of two parts: The selection of contestants prior to the conference – the review process The judging of the contributions at the conference – the award process The Award Gold, Silver, and Bronze award winners will be selected from the entries. Winners will receive: A certificate of acknowledgment presented at the closing session of the conference Acknowledgment on the conference web site A Telefonica Android phone for the winner More details: http://mobilehci2010.di.fc.ul.pt/Submissions/designCompetition.html If you have questions about the Design Competition for MobileHCI09, contact the Design Competition Chairs Mauro Cherubini and Kris Mihalic at: designcompetition(a)mobilehci2010.org <mailto:designcompetition@mobilehci2010.org>

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSN), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSAN are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSAN, WSN, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Accepted papers with a FULL registration to the main conference will be included in the conference proceedings.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: FMN’10 Datum: Sat, 23 Jan 2010 02:38:16 -0800 (PST) Von: Scott Fowler <scott_fowler(a)ymail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers ******************************************************************* 3rd International Workshop on FUTURE MULTIMEDIA NETWORKING http://fmn2010.kt.agh.edu.pl June 17-18 2010, Krakow, Poland IEEE Technical Sponsorship and in Collaboration with ACM (pending) Sponsored also by IET and the British Computer Society (pending) ********************************************************************** AIMS AND GOALS OF THE WORKSHOP In recent years real-time multimedia services have been contributing extensively to our life experience and are expected to be among the most important applications in the future Internet. The management of content distribution services is an important key to attract and keep customers, while increasing profits to content providers. At the same time the complexity and dynamics of content networks require special solutions in order to provide efficient delivery and deployment of real-time multimedia services. Further, emerging diverse and heterogeneous wired and wireless systems is a challenging research objective. The interoperability of applications, transport and network protocols, as well as, the demand for improved Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE), and seamless mobility control creates a challenging study field and also possibilities for research of novel communication protocols, architectures and methods towards Future Multimedia Networking Systems. Thus, one major challenge is the ever growing complexity of communication management and network maintenance. Solutions are required in which services, management and administration entities interact and behave autonomously, with the overall goal of creating content centric networks. The objective of the Future Multimedia Networking - FMN 2010 workshop is to discuss state-of-the-art research and developing activities contributing to aspects of multimedia systems, content networking, and autonomous communication. We are inviting both theoretical and experimental papers as well as work-in-progress research. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Content centric networks - Autonomic content networks - Audio-visual systems - Novel protocols for multimedia services - Grid networking for multimedia services - Multimedia in personal, sensor and ad-hoc networks - Multimedia in peer-to-peer networks and autonomic network infrastructures - Multimedia in mobile and broadband wireless access networks - Quality of service management in content centric networks - Quality of experience management in content centric networks - Seamless mobility of multimedia services in emerging content networks - Multicast and broadcast multimedia service management - Resource reservation for multimedia services - Context-aware content distribution - Energy-efficiency in content centric networks - Multimedia Security PARALLEL POSTER/DEMONSTRATION SESSION A parallel poster/demonstration session entitled “Demonstrations on Future Multimedia” will be organized along with the main workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP - CIIP at mobilight 2010 - Deadline is approaching Datum: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 09:59:42 +0100 Von: Abdelmajid Khelil <khelil(a)informatik.tu-darmstadt.de> Antwort an: khelil(a)informatik.tu-darmstadt.de Organisation: Technische Universitat Darmstadt An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> "We apologize if you have received multiple copies of this CFP" **************************************************************************** Call for papers CIIP Critical Information Infrastructure Protection: Where We Stand and Where We Are Heading To 10-12 May 2010 | Barcelona, Spain <http://www.mobilight.org/CIIP.shtml> http://www.mobilight.org/CIIP.shtml SCOPE: The event is meant to be a forum at the EU level to facilitate exchanges of views on issues related to Critical Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP). Information Infrastructures have become a key building block of virtually all Critical Infrastructures (CIs) which are being built today, as well as of a plethora of critical applications. As such, the design and operation of Critical Information Infrastructures (CIIs) is increasingly being characterized by challenging security and dependability requirements. This trend is unlikely to change in the future, due to a number of factors, including: i) Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have become commonplace in a number of application domains, ii) Commercial-Of -The-Shelf (COTS) components are being massively used for implementing Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, iii) subsystems are being connected using the infrastructure of the corporate Local Area Network (LAN), or even Wide Area Network (WAN) links, including the public Internet, and satellite trunks. The Member States have varying approaches to CIIP, but the success of CIIP programmes depends heavily on the cooperation and level of involvement that different stakeholders can achieve. This special session aims at sharing ideas towards the creation of a common approach for the establishment of requirements and needs to improve the protection of Critical Information Infrastructures. We are interested in projects addressing CIIP issues. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * Dependability and resilience of Critical Information Infrastructures; * Use of WSNs in Critical Infrastructures; * Emerging vulnerabilities and threats to CIIs and CIs; * Experiences related to specific CIs (e.g. power grids, supply chains, financial applications, ...); * Middleware and network technologies for data distribution in CIs; * Identification, detection, diagnosis, and reaction to security threats in CIs.

The seventeen-year-long success of IWQoS has established it as a highly reputable forum to present novel ideas on all research subjects related to QoS. While QoS research for future generations of wired and wireless networks continues to captivate much interest, recent exploration of data centers, virtualization, cloud computing, industrial communication, and “green” computing has motivated a new wave of research interest in QoS and its related metrics such as Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Protection (QoP). The scope of IWQoS 2010 covers both theoretical and experimental research on QoS related issues such as survivability, availability, reliability, security, privacy, pricing, resource provisioning and management, user experience, and system performance guarantees. Topics of interest include QoS issues in (but not limited to) the following areas: * Data centers, virtualization and cloud computing * Energy saving in networks and end systems; IT technologies to reduce energy consumption in applications * Protection, experience, security and privacy * System dependability, availability; resilience and robustness to faults and DoS attacks * Scheduling, resource management, queue management, admission control; traffic engineering approaches and tools for provisioning and evaluation * Quality evaluation metrics and methodologies; application-aware QoS parsing, identification and control * Measurement, evaluation, adaptation and verification * Network operations, pricing and billing, network and service management * Architectures and protocols for IP and WDM networks, overlay and peer-to-peer networks; wireless ad hoc, mesh, and sensor networks * Design for the future Internet Paper Submission Guidelines: IWQoS invites submission of manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal. Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. Paper submissions should be no longer than 9 single-spaced, double-column pages with font-size of 10. Papers must be submitted electronically as PDF files through the EDAS system (http://edas.info/N8541). All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. IWQoS aims at rapid dissemination of research results. For fast turnaround in the review process, a short review and publication cycle is designed, with the submission deadline as close to the workshop as the publisher allows. The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore and EI indexed. However, IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. *IMPORTANT DATES* --------------------------- Paper submission deadline: *Feb. 8, 2010* Notification of accept: April 5, 2010 Camera-ready papers: April 23, 2010 *Technical Program Committee* ------------------------------------------- Abhishek Chandra, University of Minnesota, USA Amund Kvalbein, Simula Research Laboratory, Norway Baochun Li, University of Toronto, Canada Burkhard Stiller, University of Zurich, Switzerland Byrav Ramamurthy, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Cheng-Zhong Xu, Wayne State University, USA Carlos Calafate, Technical University of Valencia, Spain Gang Feng, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China David Yau, Purdue University, USA Dan Marinescu, University of Central Florida, USA Edmundo Monteiro, University of Coimbra, Portugal Georgios Karagiannis, University of Twente, The Netherlands Haining Wang, College of William and Mary, USA Himabindu Pucha, IBM ARC, USA Iordanis Koutsopoulos, UTH, Greece Jiangchuan Liu, Simon Fraser University, Canada Joel Rodrigues IT, University of Beira Interior, Portugal John Chi Shing Lui, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Martin Reisslein, Arizona State University, USA Matthew Caesar, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA Narasimha Reddy, Texas A & M University, USA Oliver Hohlfeld, TU Berlin, Germany Pascal Lorenz, University of Haute Alsace, France Patrick Pak-Ching Lee, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Qun Li, College of William and Mary, USA Rade Stanojevic, Telefonica Research, Spain Sridhar Machiraju, Google, USA Srihari Nelakuditi, University of South Carolina, USA Steve Uhlig, TU Berlin/T-labs, Germany Torsten Braun, University of Bern, Switzerland Vasilios Siris, ICS-FORTH / Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece Weiyi Zhang, North Dakota State University, USA Xiuzhen Cheng, George Washington Univ., USA Xue Liu, McGill University, Canada Yan Chen, Northwestern University, USA ... -- Xiaoming Fu, http://user.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/~fu

The workshop will retain the LAN/MAN mainstay of Local and Metropolitan area networking, including edge applications. This year, the workshop will also focus on two compelling issues for edge networks that are currently experiencing significant change and innovation: the first is the design of scalable architectures for enterprise and data center networks. This area is motivated by the evolution of mega-scale data centers for which traditional layer-2 network designs simply do not scale, as well as the need to better design enterprise networks that carry increasing high bit-rate traffic. The second focus area is the design of scalable mechanisms and protocols for network management and trouble-shooting in home and enterprise networks. Currently, many of these issues are handled manually --- this practice is simply not scalable as home and enterprise networks get larger and user needs get more demanding. LAN/MAN seeks both theoretical and experimental contributions. Single-track presentations are planned to stimulate technical exchange among researchers and practitioners with a broad interest in networking. We expect the workshop to be a forum for discussion of new and interdisciplinary ideas on new architectures, paradigms, concepts, and economic and service models. Novel and speculative ideas are particularly encouraged. We also encourage studies based on measurements from real-life networks and testbeds. Extended abstracts are solicited on any LAN/MAN topic including, but not limited to, the following: * Broadband Wireless Access, including WiMAX * WiFi: roaming services, Architectures & Performance * Metropolitan & Residential Networks and Architectures including Ethernet in the First Mile, EPONs, FTTx etc. * IPTV, video delivery and applications * SANs and Storage over MANs * IEEE 802 standards * Optical WDM networks based on packet, burst, and flow switching * RFid protocols & performance * Topology adaptation, reconfigurability, routing * Network management related to Edge Networks * Heterogeneous Wireless and Ad-Hoc Networks * Ubiquitous wireless, wired and remote access * Adaptive wireless networks including cognitive radios * Measurement, modeling and performance evaluation * Cross layer QoS, dynamic bandwidth allocation, capacity placement/provisioning * Network reliability and survivability * Network security * Pricing, multi-vendor interoperability * LAN and MAN based applications (gaming, distributed computing, media distribution to and in the home, enterprise applications, ambient technology, wearable-computing) * Impact of sensors everywhere including homes *Paper Registration: February 5, 2010, 8 pm EDT * Paper Submission: February 12, 2010, 8 pm EDT Poster Submission: March 10, 2010, 8 pm EDT Paper Notification: March 20, 2010 Camera-ready Submission: April 10, 2010 Workshop Dates: May 5-7, 2010 PLEASE NOTE: To be published in the IEEE LAN/MAN 2010 Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore®, an author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and must present the paper at the conference.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Special Issue: Telecom System Topic on Mobile Sensor Networks Datum: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 11:10:33 +0900 Von: <lei.shu(a)live.ie> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, cnom(a)inf.ufsc.br, commsoft(a)IEEE.ORG, WTC.Mail(a)bbcr.uwaterloo.ca, <ahsntc-mailing-list(a)list.trlab.ca> CC: lei.shu(a)ieee.org Call for Papers Telecommunication Systems Journal http://www.springer.com/journal/11235 (Springer) (SCI indexed) Special Issue on “Recent Advance in Mobile Sensor Networks” Scope The continuous growing technique of sensor networks has enabled many new applications in which mobility of sensor nodes (controllable sensors and uncontrollable sensors) are explored, such as sea monitoring, animal migration and patrol defense. Unlike existing wireless sensor networks which are composed of static sensors and sink nodes, wireless mobile sensor networks allows diverse entities to move within the network field all the time, e.g., mobile base station, mobile sensor nodes, mobile relay nodes, mobile cluster heads. Enabling mobility in traditional static sensor networks makes a great impact on most existing research solutions and poses a large number of research challenging issues in both communication and data management aspects, e.g., challenges for localization in mobile sensor networks, challenges for providing coverage services by mobile sensor networks, and challenges for data collection in mobile sensor networks. On the other hand, these challenges in mobile sensor networks also provides lots of opportunities that researchers can leverage the mobility feature to exploring improvement for traditional solutions and methods in various aspects, e.g., node localization, network coverage, and data collection/streaming/management. This special issue is seeking papers working on these challenges of the mobile ad hoc and sensor networks from the academia researchers and the industry practitioners, as well as papers that addressing various hot topics of the mobile sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Data Aggregation and Data Dissemination in Mobile Sensor networks • Query Processing and Data Management in Mobile Sensor networks • Autonomic Computing with Mobile Sensor networks • Topology Control and Coverage Management in Mobile Sensor networks • Applications and Evolutions of Mobile Sensor networks • Physical Layer Design of Mobile Sensor networks • MAC Protocols for Mobile Sensor networks • QoS Provisioning in Medium Access Control & Routing for Mobile Sensor networks • Analytical, Mobility, and Validation Models for Mobile Sensor networks • Performance Evaluation and Modeling of Mobile Sensor networks • Integrated Simulation and Test bed for Mobile Sensor networks • Measurement based Evaluation for Mobile Sensor networks • Distributed Algorithms in Mobile Sensor networks • Pricing Modeling and Solutions with Mobile Sensor networks • Energy Saving and Power Control Protocols for Mobile Sensor networks • Resource Management Algorithms in Mobile Sensor networks • Synchronization and Scheduling Issues in Mobile Sensor networks • Service Discovery for Mobile Sensor networks • Cross-layer Design and Interactions in Mobile Sensor networks • Mobile Service and QoS Management for Mobile Sensor networks • Survivability and Reliability Evaluation and Modeling for Mobile Sensor networks • Security, Trust and Privacy Issues in Mobile Sensor networks Submission: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] Trust and Privacy on the Social and Semantic Web -- Call for Papers Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:17:48 +0100 Von: Philipp Kärger <kaerger(a)l3s.de> An: undisclosed-recipients:; [Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP] CALL FOR PAPERS SPOT2010 Second International Workshop on Trust and Privacy on the Social and Semantic Web http://spot.semanticweb.org/2010/ Co-located with ESWC2010 (the 7th European / Extended Semantic Web Conference) The Semantic Web is becoming reality as it is an integrated component of the Web we are browsing everyday - be it the Open Linked Data movement that nowadays exposes over 10 billion triples of RDF or the annotated and structured information available on Web pages used by major search engines, such as Yahoo! SearchMonkey and Google. Moreover, social data about people and their interaction is made available in machine-understandable format in projects like FOAF or SIOC. Facing this amount of data, privacy and trust consideration is an important step to take right now. The challenging research questions arising from this movement include: * How do people know that the data gathered from several sources for reasoning purposes can be trusted? * How can one avoid that personal data exposed on the Semantic Web will be combined with other available semantic data in a way that sensitive information may be revealed? * How shall a safe reasoning process look like that does not end up in a conflict only because a single Semantic Web peer exposed a contradiction? We expect discussions and results concerning questions like these at SPOT2010 leading to solutions and research results in the realm of Semantic Web and social data for the pervasive issue of privacy and trust on the Web. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================================ The list of topics that aims to be covered by the workshop include, but is not limited to: Semantic Technologies for Trust and Privacy on the Web * Privacy by generalization of answers * Ontologies for trust and privacy * Semantic Web policies * Usage control and accountability * Policy representation and reasoning * Semantic Web technologies for access control Trusted Knowledge Representation and Reasoning on the Semantic Web * Data provenance and trustworthiness of knowledge sources * Trust-enabled linked data * Ontology hijacking * Scalability of trust and privacy on the Semantic Web Trust and Privacy for Social Applications * Trust and privacy in social online communities (e.g., SIOC) * Privacy in Semantic Web sharing applications (e.g., semantic desktop) * User profiling and modeling vs. privacy * Privacy and community mining * Trust and reputation metrics * Usage mining and policy extraction * Privacy awareness in social communities * The Semantic Web as a trust enabler * Social Network annoyance, social software fatigue, social spam * Managing information overload on the Social Web with privacy metrics * Trust and privacy for social software on mobile devices SUBMISSIONS ================================ Papers will have to be formatted using the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Submissions for the Research Papers and Demos and Applications will be made using the EasyChair Conference System, and proceedings of the papers will be provided through the CEUR online service. The following types of contributions are welcome: * Research Papers: short (up to 6 pages) and full (up to 12 pages) technical papers that aims to explore how Semantic Web technologies can provide solutions to trust and privacy issues on the Web, focusing on one or more topics from the various ones identified within the main CFP. Especially, we very welcome papers focusing on theoretical work as well as applications regarding the benefits of Semantic Web technologies to solve these issues. The papers should clearly define the motivation of the work with relevant scenarios and should also provide a clear overview and evaluation of the benefits of the proposed approaches; * Demos and Applications: participants have to submit a two-page paper containing a demo description together with a URI where the demo is available on-line and meeting the following conditions: (1) It must use Semantic Web technologies (such as RDF, SPARQL, FOAF, SIOC, etc.); (2) It must deal with person or person-related semantic data (such as profiles, buddylists, reviews, comments, etc.) and (3) additionally, the demo may operate on a real social platform, such as MySpace, Facebook, netvibes or iGoogle. Papers shall be submitted in PDF format to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spot2010 IMPORTANT DATES ================================ Submission deadline: March 7, 2010 (23:59 pm Hawaii time, GMT-10) Notification of acceptance: April 5, 2010 Camera-ready paper submission: April 18, 2010 Workshop: May 30 or May 31, 2010 WORKSHOP ORGANIZATION ================================ The workshop will be co-located with the ESWC in Heraklion (Greece), and will be held on the 30th or 31st of May 2010. The workshop will consist of: Keynote: To be announced. Research Track: Full papers will be presented at the workshop in a 25 minutes session including a discussion.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [ISCC] Semantic Interoperability for Smart Spaces (SISS'10, workshop within IEEE ISCC, Italy): paper submission deadline = Feb. 28 Datum: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 11:32:13 +0100 Von: Paolo Bellavista <paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it> An: <iscc(a)mail.ing.unibo.it> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp ******************************************************************************************************************************* Call for Papers First International Workshop on Semantic Interoperability for Smart Spaces (SISS 2010) organized in association with the IEEE Symposium on Computers and Communications (ISCC 2010) 22 June 2010, Riccione, Italy - http://www.ieee-iscc.org/2010/ Deadline for paper submission: February 28, 2010 ********************************************************************************************************************************** Smart spaces will play a crucial role in the market of devices, services, and applications for the next years and in the everyday users' experience with the personal, home, and urban environments where citizens work and live. The effective design, implementation, and run-time support of smart applications in wide-scale pervasive environments are considered still very open challenges nowadays. Currently, the high costs still associated with the development of these smart applications are limiting their widespread adoption and their potential impact on the mass market of final users. Costs relevantly derive from the complexity of integrating already deployed heterogeneous systems, from differentiated sensors providing data in different formats via heterogeneous wireless technologies, and from nodes with differentiated capabilities/resources to highly heterogeneous legacy services. The First International Workshop on Semantic Interoperability for Smart Spaces (SISS 2010) aims at soliciting and promoting the discussion among academic/industrial researchers, practitioners in the field, and most relevant industry players about the above issue of cost reduction via interoperability, with the primary guideline of addressing interoperability of heterogeneous devices and systems via the adoption of proper semantic solutions for open smart spaces. The focus will be on novel and open innovation platforms for the effective sharing of interoperable information in smart environments: smart applications should have the possibility to effectively and easily access to highly interoperable and shared information spaces that maintain data/metadata of common interest (sensed monitored data, information about currently available resources/services, ). Contributions to SISS 2010 should address the technical challenges arising from emerging smart spaces, capable of openly including new devices, systems, applications, and final users, and to properly scale up to the challenging size of urban-wide scenarios. Visionary and early-stage work that is rigorously presented and can steer discussion to new topics is particularly welcome, as well as more solid and extensively evaluated work that reports practical and industrial experience in the field. The SISS 2010 workshop is organized by academic experts and industrial players also collaborating in a joint research project called Smart Objects for Intelligent Applications (SOFIA - http://www.sofia-project.eu), funded through the European Artemis programme. SISS 2010 topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * Semantic interoperability of smart spaces; * Requirements of open innovation platforms; * Architectures and systems for interoperability in open smart environments; * Software engineering for reusability of interoperable information in smart environments; * Middleware for open smart spaces; * Semantic technologies and techniques for of interoperable information in smart environments; * Application design/deployment and development supports for open smart spaces; * User-to-device and device-to-device interaction models for smart environments; * Context abstraction and usability for smart environment applications; * Practical experiences and experimental evaluations of testbeds and field trials for open smart spaces; * Industrial reports about the exploitation of information interoperability solutions for open smart spaces; * Smart personal spaces; * Smart spaces for the house of the future; * Smart spaces for future cities. _Paper Submission _Papers should be written in English. They should not exceed six (6) pages in length in IEEE double column proceedings format, including all figures, tables, and references (papers exceeding this limit will not be reviewed). Papers meeting these requirements will be peer-reviewed by three independent reviewers, including at least two TPC members. Papers must present original and unpublished work and should not be currently under review by any other conference or journal. Papers should be submitted via email to the Workshop Chairs (paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it <mailto:paolo.bellavista@unibo.it> , eila.ovaska(a)vtt.fi <mailto:eila.ovaska@vtt.fi>). All accepted papers will be included in the ISCC 2010 Workshops Proceedings, will be available on IEEE Xplore, and will be professionally indexed by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Service. _Important dates _Paper submission due: February 28, 2010 Notification of paper acceptance: March 20, 2010 Submission of camera-ready papers: April 13, 2010 Workshop date: June 22, 2010 For any additional information/clarification needed and for paper submission, please contact the Workshop Chairs below via email.

To better understand the nature of these changes, it is important to evaluate these technologies in real-world environments via empirical measurement. While analytical and simulation-based approaches are useful, they are often limited by the simplistic modeling of the wireless protocols and the varying and error-prone wireless channel. As a response to these limitations, the need for experimental wireless network measurements has gained wide recognition in the networking research community. This workshop continues the successful WiNMee series, begun at WiOpt in 2005, and is intended to bring together researchers in the field of experimental wireless networking and serve as a forum for discussing advances and challenges in experimental wireless network measurements. We solicit 6-page papers that advance the understanding of wireless networks through testbed measurements or field experiments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - operational experience of the performance of wireless networks - challenges with wireless measurements - experimental (in) validation of simulation or mobility models and assumptions in a wireless environment - metrics that would be required in a wireless network for performance evaluation or wireless network troubleshooting - experience from building/designing wireless networks - descriptions of tools for building and/or managing wireless testbeds (e.g. wireless link emulation) - large-scale or federated testbed measurements - techniques for improving the repeatability of tests, simplifying experiment setup and reconfiguration - techniques for validating the results obtained in the wireless testbed - techniques for measuring heterogenous wireless networks - techniques for collecting, archiving, anonymising and sharing wireless measurement data - new measurement hardware platforms, e.g., cognitive radio Important dates: Paper registration deadline: February 17th, 2010 Paper submission deadline: February 24th, 2010 Notification of acceptance: April 1st, 2010 Camera-ready papers due: April 23rd, 2010 Workshop date: May 31st, 2010 Keynote speakers To be announced shortly.

This workshop seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the intersection of mobile computing and cloud computing. The scope of the MCS workshop will encompass system and networking topics such as mobile cloud computing platforms and services, mobile social networks, device virtualization, notification services, data mining services and location services. Mobile phone applications demand greater resources and improved interactivity for better user experience. Resources in cloud computing platforms such as Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure, and Google AppEngine are a natural fit to remedy the lack of local resources in mobile devices. Mobile cloud computing refers to an infrastructure where data storage and data processing happen outside of the mobile device enabling a new class of applications previously not possible, e.g. context-aware mobile social networks. Mobile cloud computing is poised to become a disruptive force in the mobile world. While prior work on thin client related research is relevant, the availability of cloud computing resources on a pay-as-you-go basis, the paradigm shift introduced by social networks, the advances in virtualization, the emergence of LTE and WiMAX, IEEE 802.11n and 60 GHz, and mobile application programming platforms create a rich new set of research challenges and opportunities. Suggested topics for paper submissions include but are not limited to: • Mobile cloud computing programming model • Mobile social networks: applications and experiences, system design and architecture • Data services and architectures • Cloud-assisted energy management of mobile devices • Mobile device virtualization • Fairness and isolation of mobile devices in the cloud • Large scale mobile cloud applications • Data privacy and security • High availability and reliability • Economic considerations in offering mobile cloud computing services • Distribution of resources and computation between mobile devices and the cloud • Data mining and machine learning in mobile cloud computing • Context-aware services and computing IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: April 2, 2010 by 11:55 pm ET Notification of acceptance: May 3, 2010 Final camera-ready paper: May 17, 2010 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors are invited to submit original papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum. Manuscripts would be submitted in PDF format using the ACM camera-ready templates available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html. In addition to the full-length research papers (limited to 8 pages), the workshop invites vision papers (limited to 5 pages). Authors submitting vision papers should identify such papers with the title starting with “Vision: ”. We highly encourage industrial participation.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM HotPlanet 2010 workshop (co-located with ACM MobiSys) - Call For Papers Datum: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 10:48:08 +0000 Von: Fehmi Ben Abdesslem <fehmi(a)cs.st-andrews.ac.uk> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. ------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Planet-scale Measurements (HotPlanet) co-located with ACM MobiSys '10, San Francisco, CA, USA June 15, 2010 http://www.hotplanetconf.net/10/ Important dates: Submission deadline: March 7, 2010 Authors notification: April 18, 2010 Camera ready: May 7, 2010 Workshop date: June 15, 2010 It is well-known that successfully researching, designing and building new mobile, ad hoc, mesh and opportunistic networking systems and algorithms requires access to large-scale data on human mobility, encounter, and social network patterns. Unfortunately, the wireless and mobile research communities lack such data, with typical human contact traces consisting of less than 100 nodes. We believe that large-scale datasets are important, not only in communication network design, but also for fundamental study in other academic disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, urban planning, and social science. Complex networks research has flourished since 1989 when the first large Internet (and later WWW) datasets became available. To achieve similar improvements in mobile networking and related fields, large-scale, and ideally planet-scale, datasets must be collected and made available. Following a successful introductory event at ACM MobiSys 2009, this year's workshop will challenge the community to collect large-scale human mobility traces. Our aim is to highlight the issues in collecting data on a planet-wide scale, so that the community can help develop mechanisms to collect, share and analyse such data. Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Motivating applications for large-scale human mobility data collection, especially from other disciplines, e.g., epidemiology, sociology - Methods for collecting large-scale human mobility datasets - New analyses and applications of large-scale human mobility datasets, e.g., human dynamics characterisation and modelling - Planet-scale data collection infrastructures - Testbed federation for planet-scale data collection - Incentive models for encouraging users and businesses to collect and contribute data on a planet-wide scale - Enabling security, privacy and anonymity for large-scale data collection - Regulatory, legal and ethical issues in planet-wide data collection SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on their originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression. Accepted papers will be published by ACM and placed in the ACM Digital Library. Submissions must be in English, no longer than 6 pages and in PDF format, and use the ACM templates <http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates>. All fonts must be embedded within the PDF and be Type 1 (scalable). In order to allow papers to appear in the ACM Digital Library, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit, together with their camera-ready, an ACM proceedings copyright transfer form <http://www.acm.org/publications/copyright_form>. Failure to send the camera-ready and copyright transfer on time will prevent the publication of the paper and its inclusion in the ACM Digital Library.

June 2-4, 2010 http://nsl.cs.sfu.ca/nossdav10/ NOSSDAV 2010 is the 20th anniversary of SIGMM's leading workshop on network and operating systems support for digital audio and video. The workshop, hosted by the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU), will continue to focus on emerging research topics, controversial ideas, and future research directions in the area of multimedia systems research. As in previous years, we will maintain the focused single-track format a setting that stimulates lively discussions among the senior and junior participants. NOSSDAV encourages experimental research based on real systems and real data sets. Public availability of the source code and data sets discussed in papers presented at NOSSDAV is highly encouraged. For NOSSDAV 2010, we will accept papers on a broad ranges of topics related to the transmission and presentation of digital audio/video objects. We are particularly interested in soliciting articles that discuss systems-level support for distributed social networking, as well as papers that focus on local dispatching and performance aspects of multi-core processors. Other topics of interest include (but are not restricted to): * OS, middleware and network support * Overlay networks * Media streaming, distribution and storage support * Web 2.0 systems and social networks * Media sensor and ad hoc networks / Embedded systems * Multicore architecture support * Wireless and mobile multimedia systems / Network processor support * Networked GPU's, graphics and virtual environments * Networked games / Real-time immersive systems * Multimedia communications and system security Please contact the workshop general and program chairs to check if your topic is within the scope of NOSSDAV. In all cases, the quality of presentation (writing style, clarity for persons outside the direct field) will play a role in submission evaluation. This year's review process will contain a number of experimental components. One of these is ability for authors and reviewers to participate in a double-open review procedure. In this voluntary trial, the names of the submitting authors AND the names of the participating reviewers will be made available during the process.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] {Spam? 5.34 } SI on “Internet of Things” in IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Datum: Sun, 17 Jan 2010 19:00:16 +0100 Von: Antonio Iera <antonio.iera(a)unirc.it> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies if you received multiple copies of this CFP. ******************************************************************* IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? ******************************************************************* Call for Papers Internet of Things: the "Next Big Thing" in Communications? Special Issue of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine In the last few years, a stimulating idea is fast emerging in the wireless scenario: the pervasive presence around us of a variety of "things" or "objects", such as devices, sensors, actuators, mobile phones, which, through unique addressing schemes, are able to interact with each other and cooperate with their neighboring "smart" components to reach common goals. This novel paradigm, named "The Internet of Things", continues on the path set by the concept of smart environment and paves the way to the deployment of numerous applications with a significant impact on many fields of future every-day life. In this context, logistics, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Business/Process management, assisted living, e-health are only a few examples of possible application fields in which this novel paradigm will play a leading role. How to implement this novel paradigm and how effective its introduction into citizens' every-day life is, still remains to be investigated. Key objectives of any R&D activity in the field are: efficient and effective wireless spectrum utilization, full interoperability of "smarts" devices, their adaptation and autonomous behavior, as well as trust, privacy, and security guarantees. From a wireless communications and networking perspective, the Internet of Things idea raises several challenging issues to address and technological nodes to untie. Which major technological innovations and developments are still required to enable a level of "ambient intelligence", characterized by the integration of wired and wireless "smart" components? Which sustainable standards, technologies, global communication protocols, and algorithms at the various layers of the system protocol stack (from the physical to the application layer) shall be introduced with the aim of allowing a vast amount of information to be shared amongst things and people when wireless links and technologies are involved? Which is the role of widely accepted wireless communications paradigms for peer to peer communications, machine-to-machine communications, and machine-to-network communications in a IoT perspective? Could the use of middleware mechanisms represent a feasible and effective solution to the problem of integrating Radio Frequency devices and wireless sensors into a common IoT framework? Are the proposed trust, privacy, and security models able to make people trust in these novel technologies instead of being afraid of an external surveillance and, more relevantly, are they still effective when involved "things" communicate wirelessly? An attempt to provide a partial answer to these and many other related questions will form the main scope of the present special issue. More specifically we are interested in the wireless communications and networking aspects involved by the introduction of the Internet of Things concept, and therefore solicit papers covering a variety of topics including, but not limited to: * Internet of Things infrastructures, communication systems, network architectures * Mobile Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks * Network management, distributed processing (e.g. access, scheduling, radio resource management, etc.), scalability, and cooperation issues in integrated wired-wireless scenarios for the Internet of Things * Internet of Things enabling ubiquitous and wireless technologies * Security and privacy management for wirelessly communicating "things" and users * RFID technology and RFID middleware * Electromagnetic aspects related to the Internet of Things * Machine-to-machine and machine-to-network communications in the presence of wireless links * Inter-vehicle communications and seamless connectivity * Location and tracking through navigation sensors * Internet of Things applications in research projects * Standardization and regulation (e.g. spectrum allocation and radio frequency exposure protection) issues for the Internet of Things Submission of original contributions is solicited on the above topics as well as others relevant to the "Internet of Things" concept. All submissions should adhere to the style of IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine.

Fwd: Call for Papers: Workshop on Ultra-Low-Cost WSNs and their Application (ULC-WSN2010)
by Lars Wolf 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: Workshop on Ultra-Low-Cost WSNs and their Application (ULC-WSN2010) Datum: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:29:14 +0100 Von: no-reply(a)inss-conf.org An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de ULC-WSN: Workshop on Ultra-Low-Cost Wireless Sensor Networks and their Applications at the INSS'10 Website at http://www.duslab.de/ulc-wsn/ June, 2010 in conjunction with 7th International Conference in Networked Sensing Systems (INSS) Kassel, Germany, June 15 - 18, 2010 organised by the Department of Distributed and Ubiquitous systems (DUS) ToC: * Topics and Introduction * Workshop Format * Desired Outcome * Call for Papers * Organisation Topics and Introduction: The wireless sensor network (WSN) community is approaching its 10th birthday and still the killer application which will make these devices ubiquitous has eluded researchers and developers. One approach which will be investigated is that it is possible to create ingenious applications using simple technology, and that these applications can have a great impact because the technology is relatively simple. Most of the WSN literature displays great applications based on cutting-edge technology, but these applications are often prohibitively expensive due to their nature. The status quo of a networked sensing system has been based on high-cost nodes (>100 USD) and time and effort-intensive development, all of which leads to highly functional yet highly complex and expensive WSN applications. A new approach to the field is the concept of ultra-low-cost wireless sensor networks (ULC WSN) which would allow for applications of miniature ultra-low-cost wireless sensor nodes (<20 USD) as well as low-cost rapid development. These qualities come naturally at a price, which is low resources available on the nodes. As any developer knows, the most expensive part of any WSN application is the time-intensive development. Here again the ULC WSN approach foresees low-cost light-weight rapid development (<2 hours), but at the cost of application complexity (comparable to a restricted instruction set). Although low-cost sensor nodes and rapid development environments exist, application scenarios for a combination of both of them have not yet been explored. This workshop will try to explore what can be done with WSN technology designed with cost as the primary design factor. Recent developments have created the basis for unprecedentedly affordable WSN development tools which open new application spaces previously inaccessible due to the prohibitive cost of development and technology. These scenarios will be explored by encouraging participants to come up with applications based on and enabled by ultra-low-cost wireless sensor network technology. Participants will be asked to submit ideas for applications which can be implemented quickly (15 minutes or less with a configurable WSN platform) on a miniature simplistic ultra-low-cost wireless sensor network. Workshop Format: The workshop will be divided into three distinct portions. In the morning, the contributions to the workshop will be presented to the group by the authors. This will be followed by a brief evaluation of the contributions by the group and discussion based on the impact and potential of the different ideas presented, as well as resources and development effort required. After lunch, the Akiba platform will be introduced to the participants as a basis for evaluating ultra-low-cost WSN applications and a short tutorial will be given, followed by a period of hands-on wireless sensor network rapid development examples and tools. The participants will then be broken into groups, each with the task of implementing one of the ideas presented in the participant contributions. Each implementation will be evaluated by all groups to ascertain if the goal of the application could be accomplished by the developers with the restricted resources and time frame. Finally, the groups will be brought back together to share their experiences and for a discussion on the plausibility of an ultra-low-cost wireless sensor network to close the workshop. Timetable: * 09.00 - 09.30 Registration, welcome & introductions * 09.30 - 12.45 Author presentations * 12.45 - 02.00 Lunch Break * 14.00 - 15.30 Akiba platform development tutorial * 15.30 - 16.00 Coffee Break * 16.00 - 17.30 Application implementation * 17.30 - 18.00 Evaluation & wrap-up Desired Outcome: The desired outcome of this workshop is a concise statement on whether or not something along the lines of an ultra-low-cost wireless sensor network makes sense as a development tool. In order reach this point, the scenario properties must be identified which allow or prevent the use of an ULC WSN. The desired result will indicate under which conditions an ULC WSN is appropriate, in which scenarios an ULC WSN will be able to achieve satisfactory results, and which scenario parameters are prohibitive of a low-cost, low-resource, low-complexity wireless sensor networks. Call for Papers, Selection Process and Publication: Submissions are requested on the topic of ultra-low-cost wireless sensor networks and their applications. Submissions should address the questions of available platforms, potential for improvement in this field, potential application areas, developers, users, innovations which affect ULC WSN technology or any other ULC WSN related theme. Each submission should contain an idea, recommendation or example of an application of an ULC WSN. The papers should provide a method for implementing the example in 15 minutes or less with an out-of-box ULC WSN configurable platform and indicate a method for evaluating the application. Implementational examples and ideas should be original, though that is not a requirement for submission. The number of participants is limited to 15 based on the submissions. Papers should be submitted in IEEE Transaction format with a maximum of four pages. Accepted papers will be published by the Technische Universitaet Braunschweig as a technical report and on the Internet, as well as on the workshop website.

Topics of interest are the same as research topics in the SIGCOMM conference call for papers. Although anyone can submit a poster, preference will be given to posters where the primary contribution is from one or more students. Posters will be reviewed by members of the SIGCOMM Poster Session Committee. At the conference, student posters must be presented by a student. Authors of accepted papers in SIGCOMM 2009 may not submit a poster on the same work in those papers. Student Research Competition For the first time, the SIGCOMM poster session will also serve as an ACM student research competition. Qualified entrants must have current ACM student membership, have graduate or undergraduate student status at the time of submission (May 2010, below), and be submitted by a single student author. Supervisors are not permitted to coauthor the poster. Undergraduates and graduate students will be treated in separate divisions. (Students starting their first year of graduate school at the time of the conference will be considered as undergraduates.) A small travel supplement is made available to accepted entrants: please also submit applications for travel grant support. The ACM SRC program is sponsored by Microsoft Research. Winners will advance to ACM Grand Finals of the Student Research Competition to compete against the winners of other ACM conferences. Why Should You Submit a Poster? This is a great chance especially for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on ongoing research from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. In addition, some submissions will be forwarded for publication to ACM SIGCOMM's newletter, the ACM Computer Communication Review (CCR). Travel Grants for Student Posters Students who are submitting posters are highly encouraged to examine if they are eligible for student travel grants. What is a Poster? We define a poster to be A0 paper size in portrait mode (841x1189mm), to which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. Alternatively, you can use the space as a continuum. You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and important about your work. Note that you do not submit such a large-format image; only an abstract describing in text what the poster would present. What and Where to Submit Please submit a two-page abstract describing the work http://sigcomm10-posters.cs.umd.edu/. The decision will be taken primarily by reading the abstract. Submissions are single blind, so please include authors' names and affiliation. Content: The abstract should clearly state: * the problem being addressed; * what makes this problem interesting, important, and difficult; * your approach to the problem; * the key contribution. In the final version of the abstract, you should include a URL that provides additional information about your work to the attendees. Formatting: Prepare your abstract using ACM conference style, modified to 10pt. Concretely, two columns, minimum 10pt times with 0.75 inch margins and 1/3 inch space between columns. The abstract must be within the page limit and in PDF format. Word documents will not be accepted. At the conference, we will distribute the abstracts to all conference attendees.

[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL Special Issue on Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks]
by Lars Wolf 08 Jan '10

08 Jan '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL Special Issue on Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks Datum: Thu, 7 Jan 2010 19:49:13 -0800 (PST) Von: xu li <easylix(a)yahoo.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, sigembedded-l(a)acm.uiuc.edu, pet(a)lists.links.org, discuss(a)ieeetcsc.org, robotics-worldwide(a)usc.edu, tcpp-announce(a)cc.gatech.edu, tccn(a)comsoc.org, ahsntc(a)trlab.ca Call for Papers IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL Special Issue on Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks Paper submission: DEADLINE: February 1, 2010; Acceptance: August 2010; Tentative Publication: May 2011. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), in their various shapes and forms, have greatly facilitated and enhanced the automated, remote, and intelligent monitoring of a large variety of physical systems. These networks consist of a large number of typically small devices, each incorporating sensing, processing, and wireless communications capabilities. Their use has penetrated a plethora of application domains from industrial and building automation, to environmental, wildlife, and health monitoring. The control and systems community has played an important role in the maturing of WSNs addressing issues related to their fundamental limits and designing strategies to optimize and control their operation so as to improve performance. Performance encompasses a variety of metrics that may vary with the application but in all cases includes the network's energy use which determines its usable lifetime. As WSN nodes are powered by small batteries, energy conservation has become a very important concern. Equally importantly, the existence of WSNs has provided a major application context to theoretical contributions of the control community including cooperative and distributed control, event-based monitoring, discrete- event systems, and consensus algorithms. What is emerging as the next step in the WSN evolution is their use not only in monitoring but also in controlling a physical system. To that end, some of the WSN nodes have to be augmented by integrating actuators. Actuators can be simple devices programmed to take immediate, one-shot, action in response to sensory input, or they can be more sophisticated entities (like robots) that interact with their environment in more complex ways. The resulting augmented version of WSNs is commonly referred to as Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs). WSANs are therefore heterogeneous networks that comprise of networked sensor and actuator nodes that communicate among each other using wireless links to perform distributed sensing and actuation tasks. WSANs can be used to close loops over the network in a variety of applications, such as, environmental control, event detection and suppression, home automation, manufacturing, microclimate control, surveillance etc. The control community has recently made important contributions in understanding control over communication channels but this work has, for the most part, abstracted the communication medium. A new challenge is to consider a WSAN as the communications channel over which we seek to close control loops. The topics relevant to this special issue include but are not limited to: < Autonomous sensor networks < Co-design of communication protocols and control strategies < Architectural, modeling and simulation of WSANs < Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication < Sensor-actuator and actuator-actuator coordination < Distributed control in sensor-actuator networks < Biologically inspired communication in WSANs < Applications and prototypes. Submission Details: All papers submitted to the special issue will be subject to peer review in accordance with the established practices of the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control. Papers that do not fall within the scope of the special issue will be returned to the authors without review, to enable them to submit them as regular papers through the normal channels. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts to either one of the guest editors. The manuscript format should follow the guidelines posted at the website: http://css.paperplaza.net/journals/tac/. Hardcopy submissions will not be accepted. Important dates: Paper submission: DEADLINE: February 1, 2010; Acceptance: August 2010; Tentative Publication: May 2011.

Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSAN are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSAN, WSN, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Accepted papers with a FULL registration to the main conference will be included in the conference proceedings.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP Special Issue on "Opportunistic and Delay Tolerant Networks", EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Datum: Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:24:06 +0100 Von: Marcelo Dias de Amorim <marcelo.amorim(a)lip6.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please apologise if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. =================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Special Issue on "Opportunistic and Delay Tolerant Networks" http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/si/odtn.html =================================================================== Wireless and mobile computing advanced significantly in the last decade. This opens new ways for mobile users to get connected to each other. In particular, users have more and more the possibility to spontaneously establish direct links between them without the support of a preexisting infrastructure. Due to the natural mobility of the users, it is likely that the resulting topology be intermittently connected. This leads to two main issues. First, nodes must find a way to benefit from contact opportunities whenever possible. Second, given that inter-contact times are unpredictable, applications must better \textit{tolerate delays. In practice, opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks are much closer to real situations than the legacy mobile ad hoc networks. But this comes at the cost of more challenging problems, as traditional communication architectures, commonly based on the end-to-end principle, are not adapted to intermittently connected scenarios. Although the research community has provided major contributions in this area, there are still a lot of questions that remain unanswered. These questions are both related to the understanding of the fundamental aspects of such networks and how to make them become a reality and coexist with other networks. The goal of the proposed special issue is to help filling this gap by presenting contributions ranging from theoretical foundations to practical experiences in opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks. As we intend to focus on both theoretical and practical aspects of these networks, papers presenting insights covering all levels of the communication architecture will be welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectural principles of opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks. - Mathematical foundations of challenged networks. - Participatory and opportunistic sensor networks. - Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing, and building opportunistic networks. - Experimental deployments and measurement campaigns. - Investigation of new interaction patterns among users. SUBMISSION AND TIMETABLE: Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/guidelines.html. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable: Manuscript Submission Due: May 1, 2010 Acceptance Notification: August 1, 2010 Publication: November 1, 2010 GUEST EDITORS: Sergio Palazzo, Universita di Catania, Italy.
