Prof. Jehn-Ruey Jiang, National Central University, Taiwan, R.O.C.* A smart digital home refers to a living space with devices that are connected through wired or wireless networks. The connected devices may be sensors, actors, consumer electronics, appliances, mobile and PC devices that cooperate transparently for facilitating living and improving usability in the home. Sensors can capture the and/or detect physical phenomena, like temperature, humidity, illumination, etc., of living environments and notify other devices of the phenomena; actors and other devices can then act according to the phenomena to provide context aware services. Home care of the old, the young, the sick and the disabled can benefit from smart digital home technologies, by which carers are able to acquire the states of the home and the residents anytime, anywhere and to take proper actions immediately. By the technologies, proper actions can also be triggered automatically in the presence of specific events, such as resident falling, and stove catching fire, etc. Smart digital home technologies enable working from home, remote education, network shopping, online gaming, etc. High speed broadband network access and all-IP technologies enabled by frameworks of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), SDP (Service Delivery Platforms), DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), and so on, offer new communication capabilities. We can foresee that innovative smart digital home applications benefiting from high network capabilities will be blooming in the near future. Since a variety of devices presents in a smart digital home, convergent (across all the screens of TVs, PCs, appliances and mobile devices) and personalized user experience is evidently the key for the success of new residential applications. *Subject Coverage* The goal of this special issue is to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of the smart digital home.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [InternetTC] CFP: The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2010) Datum: Sat, 19 Dec 2009 07:32:51 -0500 Von: Habib Ammari <Habib.M.Ammari(a)hofstra.edu> An: <itc(a)comsoc.org> The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks (WiMAN 2010) http://people.hofstra.edu/Habib_M_Ammari/WiMAN_Workshop2010.html In conjunction with ICCCN 2010 Zurich, Switzerland, August 2-5, 2010 CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop Objectives Recently, wireless mesh and ad hoc networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from more than a decade of research efforts in mobile ad hoc networks, many research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For example, the introduction of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture, multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different protocol layers for wireless mesh networks. This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Its main purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. Also, this workshop aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area. We seek papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. Topics covered in this workshop will include, but will not be limited to, the following: • Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking • Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN • Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking • MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond) • Routing, scheduling, and channel assignment protocols • Implications of smart antennas on MAC and routing protocols • Quality of Services provisioning • Multimedia communications over mesh and ad hoc networks • Network deployment, localization, and synchronization • Topology construction and maintenance • Methods and tools for mesh and ad hoc networks simulation • Modeling and performance evaluations • Physical layer techniques • Cross layer optimizations • Power-aware and energy-efficient protocols and algorithms • Self-organization, self-configuration network architectures • Intelligent system techniques for mesh and ad hoc networks • Security-related issues in mesh and ad hoc networks • Novel applications of mesh and ad hoc networks • Wireless sensor networks and RFID • Test beds, prototypes, and practical systems Submission Guidelines Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop.

This results in an unprecedented request for lightweight, wireless communication devices with excellent usability and performance as well as the ability to support added-value services in a highly mobile environment - following the user everywhere he goes (at work, at home, while travelling, in a classroom, etc.). Besides attractive business opportunities this opens up exciting research and development areas. This scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to support the ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE philosophy, introducing novel and fast-evolving requirements and expectations on research and development in the field of information and communication technologies.

Please redistribute within your own groupor among colleagues, thank you!] CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS ---------------------- Ubicomp 2010 - 12th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing Copenhagen, Denmark September 26 - September 29, 2010 http://www.ubicomp2010.org/ Important Dates Note: Submission deadlines are firm and late submissions will not be accepted, so we encourage authors to begin the submission process early. 1. Papers & Notes * Submission Deadline: March 12, 2010 (23:59 PST) * Notifications of Acceptance: May 25, 2010 * Final Version Due: July 16, 2010 2. Workshop Proposals * Submission Deadline: March 26, 2010 (23:59 PST) * Notification of Acceptance: April 26, 2010 * Workshop Call for Papers Distribution: May 10, 2010 3. Adjunct Program (Posters, Demos and Videos) * Submission: June 25, 2010 (23:59 PST) * Notification of Acceptance: July 26, 2010 * Final Version Due: August 6, 2010 1. Papers and Notes Ubicomp 2010 welcomes original, high-quality research contributions that advance the state of the art in the design, development, deployment, evaluation and understanding of ubiquitous computing systems and their applications. Ubicomp 2010 will include a highly selective single-track program of full papers and notes. Full Papers (10-page submissions) and Notes (4-page submissions that are not works in progress) are due at the same time and will be reviewed by the same committee using the same review process to ensure a uniform quality between Full Papers and Notes. All papers (Full Papers and Notes) should clearly compare and contrast how the work relates to previous research or experience, what aspects of the work are new, and the major contributions it makes. They will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, quality of research, quality of writing, and technical correctness. Submissions must not have been previously published or be under simultaneous review for any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication with an ISBN, ISSN, or DOI number. Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and conform to the guidelines specified in the CfP. Papers should be formatted according to the Ubicomp ACM Word or Latex template. Papers must include an abstract of no more than 150 words. Paper submissions have to be anonymized to facilitate double blind review. Authors should take care throughout their paper that their own and their institution’s identity is not revealed. However, relevant references to an author’s previous research (which may be required for reviewers to understand and evaluate the paper’s contribution) should not be suppressed but instead referenced in a neutral way. For more information, see http://www.ubicomp2010.org/papers Programm Chairs * Paddy Nixon, University College Dublin, Ireland * Khai Truong, University of Toronto, Canada 2. Workshops Ubicomp 2010 invites proposals for one day workshops be held on Sunday, September 26, prior to the main conference. The Workshops program will provide a forum for attendees to discuss specialized topics or topics of special interest. This year, we would especially encourage more ambitious workshops of two types. The first type is academic in nature and can be viewed as mini-tracks to the main conference. These workshops should have the potential to be sustainable and re-occur in the coming years. Hence, we are looking to host workshops with the ambition of setting up a program committee and aim for publication for improved versions of the workshop papers. The second type of workshops aims at building ubiquitous systems or applications at the day of the workshop. Hence, this type of workshops is a place for people to meet and design, build, or integrate ubiquitous systems. This may range from physical design mock-ups containing no technology, to a video prototype, to building an application on a hardware toolkit provided by the organizers. Such a workshop should feed directly into the other parts of the conference by producing a demo or a video for the demo and video program . Important dates and guidelines for the submission of the workshop proposals are available on the conference web site. For more information, see http://www.ubicomp2010.org/Workshops Workshop Chairs * Louise Barkhuus, University of California, San Diego, USA * Vassilis Kostakos, University of Madeira, Portugal 3. Adjunct Program (Posters, Demos and Videos) The Ubicomp 2010 adjunct program track provides researchers with opportunities to present their cutting-edge work in an interactive fashion in front of an expert audience. Posters allow you to inform attendees about your work in person, demos allow you to showcase tangible results and communicate ideas and concepts in a powerful way, and videos allow you to visualize the results of your research and development efforts. Ubicomp 2010 newly combines these hitherto seperate tracks into an integrated, multimodal submission process: Submit your work both as a video and a demo; present a poster and show a video; or go for a combination of all three! A multimodal submission not only gets more “participant face-time”, but also increases its chances for acceptance: if the submission gets accepted in at least one of the tracks, it is implicitly accepted into the other tracks (subject to some basic quality control, of course). The basis of your Ubicomp 2010 adjunct program submission is a 2-page abstract that describes the technology being presented and discusses the novelty and distinguishing ideas or approaches that it brings to the ubiquitous computing community. Even if you go multimodal, you are required to submit one abstract only. Depending on what tracks you are submitting to, you might need to provide supplemental material such as a poster sketch, a demo description, and/or a video.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ICC 2010 Workshop E2NETS, Deadine Extended to 11 January 2010 Datum: Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:03:48 +0100 Von: Ertan Onur <ertanon(a)gmail.com> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please excuse us if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ IEEE ICC-2010 Workshop on Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks & Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency http://www.e2nets.tudelft.nl to be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC 2010) 23-27 May 2010 Cape Town, South Africa at Cape Town's International Conference Centre (CTICC). The two seemingly distinct topics of E2NETS are very important for overall energy efficiency in the future. Instead of looking at them separately, it is useful to arrange a venue for the researchers and practitioners in these two fields to come together and interact. This workshop aims to build this cooperation. Energy Efficiency in Wireless Networks: According to the GESI study, the ICT sector contributes around two per cent of global greenhouse gas (CHG) emissions. To increase the competitiveness, energy efficiency (E2) must also be a design criterion of the network and service architectures. Flexible networks that adapt their capacity to the requirements can lead to significant energy savings. Novel networking paradigms need to be introduced to assure that all components are used with maximum utilization. Green network architectures will be the cross-layer, cognitive and cooperative aggregation of techniques and mechanisms to provide a communication infrastructure where the energy consumption is minimized while guaranteeing the quality/grade of service required by the applications. Along with energy efficiency, spectrum utilization is to be optimized and radiation is to be minimized. Green networking is not only the evolution of legacy networking paradigms but also the revolution of the visionary hybrid networks which is the convergence of the heterogeneous wired, wireless and ad hoc networks. In this workshop, the following topics of energy efficiency in wireless networks are considered: * Physical layer techniques, channel/network coding for energy efficiency. * Methodologies /architectures for energy efficiency. * Energy-efficiency measures. * Energy-efficient flooding/multicast for service discovery. * Collaborative/cooperative/cognitive networking protocols for energy efficiency. * Algorithms for scheduling and resource management. * Energy harvesting. * Cooperative green communications for energy efficiency. * User mobility modeling to predict and adapt to patterns. * Hybrid fibre-wireless networks for energy-efficient delivery of wireless signals. Wireless Networks for Energy Efficiency: To address the other 98 per cent of the global CHG emissions, wireless networks can be used to reduce the energy consumption of industrial/home/office environments/applications. For example, along with the research in low-carbon road transportation technologies, wireless networks can be employed to analyze the traffic jams and help navigators to find a suitable route leading to energy savings. To this extent, in this workshop the topics of wireless networks for energy efficiency consist of: * ICT for minimization of the energy consumption of other systems such as transportation, houses, offices and industrial buildings. * Energy efficient cloud computing, smart grids and emerging applications. * Sensor networks for energy efficiency in industrial/harsh environments. * Vehicular networks to reduce the CHG emissions. * New designs of equipments/architectures for energy efficiency. * Energy efficient virtualization of resources. Accepted workshop papers will be available on the IEEE eXplore database and included in the CD proceedings of the IEEE ICC 2010. Paper submission via EDAS, 5 pages IEEE format. http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8321&track=8419 Full papers due: Jan 11 2009 Acceptance notification: Jan 30 2010 Camera ready version: Feb 10 2010 General Chair Ignas Niemegeers, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Publicity Chair Hakan Delic, Bogazici University, Turkey Technical Program Committee Chair R. Venkatesha Prasad, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Technical Program Committee Co-Chair Ertan Onur, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands What is different? The format of the workshop consists of four sessions three of which will be dedicated to presentation sessions and posters. The remaining session will be slightly different from the usual chores such as panel or keynote. Here we have identified clearly two important groups, E2 in Wireless Networks and Wireless Networks for E2, which are interconnected and interrelated. Both have been currently looked into ýntensively, not only by researchers, but also by the industry. The recent trend is that the governments of various countries have started seriously encouraging ICT community participation in reducing the energy consumption, as well as energy wastage. Surely this has to be taken into account by the ICT community. The pool of participants, including authors of papers, will be divided into the two groups, the E2 in Wireless Networks and Wireless Networks for E2. These two groups headed by senior academician/industrialist will hold separate discussions for 45 min. The mandate is to come up with a list of research ideas, as well as implementation strategies for the topics of their group. Then they will present their ideas and discuss for the next 45 minutes with all of the participants. This strategy should help in identifying issues quickly in a larger perspective. It is expected to help academics, industry and policy makers to quickly crystallize thoughts and work towards the important challenges and optimize their resources for this important challenge for future generations to come. It is also expected that after the discussions the two groups bring forth a list of ideas for future project proposals. We will encourage the participants to team up and work together for their future proposals. The by-product of this exercise is that convergence of these two seemingly separate trends will start cooperation with each other. Contact Information R.

To address the special requirements of both safety and non-safety applications in the vehicle domain, there is a necessity to develop new communication technologies and find special integration solutions into vehicular and transportation systems. These result in various types of vehicular communications and networks: vehicle-toinfrastructure, vehicle-to-roadside, and vehicle-to-vehicle communications. In this growing interdisciplinary field, many research challenges need to be addressed, e.g., how to characterize communication channels due to greater dynamics and higher requirements due to e.g. latency and reliability compared to conventional wireless channels, how to appropriately design medium access control (MAC) and network protocols th! at should essentially be scalable in performance and adaptable to environment changes due to rapid network topology changes and node density fluctuations, and how to evaluate and validate vehicular networking protocols under realistic assumptions using simulation methodologies and real-world testing. The goal of this special issue is to report on cutting-edge research achievements covering those aspects of vehicular communications and networks that are distinctively different from communication networks in general. We are seeking papers that describe high-quality, original, and unpublished contributions. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: • Adoption and adaptation of web technologies • Application protocols and service architectures • Channel measurement, modeling, & simulation • Domain-specific security and privacy solutions • Inter-networking technologies and architectures • MAC technologies and channel management • Multiple radio integration and control • Physical layer and RF level technologies • Radio resource management, congestion control, traffic control, routing, and QoS support • Real-time experimental systems and testbeds • RF integration and SDR technologies • Safety and non-safety applications and services • Simulation methodology and performance evaluation techniques • Delay tolerant networks • Energy efficient communications • Traffic and mobility models Submission Guidelines Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/.

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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE INFOCOM 2010 Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Communications and Networking Datum: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 17:40:04 -0500 Von: Richard Yu <richard_yu(a)carleton.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. IEEE INFOCOM 2010 Workshop on Cognitive Wireless Communications and Networking March 15-19, 2010 San Diego, CA, USA http://www.csit.carleton.ca/~fyu/CWCN10/index.htm Scope: The radio frequency spectrum is becoming a scarce resource. Conventional fixed spectrum allocation cannot utilize the resource efficiently. Cognitive radio is a novel technology which improves the spectrum utilization through detection of unused radio spectrum and dynamic spectrum allocation. Cognitive wireless communications and cognitive wireless networks have potential to bring tremendous economic benefits to both customer and telecom operators.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Extended submission deadline: Jan 31st, 2010 SI MULTIMEDIA AD HOC AND SENSOR NETWORKS Datum: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 12:00:43 -0500 Von: Tommaso Melodia <tmelodia(a)eng.buffalo.edu> An: TCCC List <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Following many requests, we have extended the deadline for this Special Issue to January 31st, 2010. --------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS AD HOC NETWORKS (ELSEVIER) JOURNAL Special Issue on MULTIMEDIA AD HOC AND SENSOR NETWORKS http://www.elsevierscitech.com/pdfs/cfp_adhoc0709.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------- Multimedia applications enabled by quality-aware wireless multi-hop networks include online gaming, video conferencing, video streaming, mobile TV, and peer-to-peer streaming. In addition, they include monitoring applications such as video surveillance, traffic enforcement and control systems, advanced health care delivery, structural health monitoring, and industrial process control. In spite of the increasing demand for multimedia wireless networking, we are still lacking a clear understanding of analytical and computational techniques, as well as best practices, to design resource allocation schemes, communication protocols, and self-organization algorithms for wireless multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks that will deliver, in a predictable and quantifiable fashion, the quality of service and experience required by the end user. In addition, while significant advances in physical layer techniques offer new opportunities for cross-layer optimizations designed to satisfy application needs, efforts to leverage these techniques from a networking perspective to support the needs of multimedia traffic demands in multi-hop wireless networks are still at initial stages. In particular, dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radios, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques, ultra-wide-band and cooperative communications, among other techniques, will have a profound impact on our ability to flexibly and predictably deliver multimedia content over wireless networks. Finally, with a few exceptions, processing of multimedia content has mostly been approached as a problem isolated from the network-design problem. However, in-network processing and delivery of multimedia content are not independent and their interaction has a major impact on the levels of quality of service (QoS) that can be delivered. Hence, it is necessary to develop flexible and self-organizing architectures and algorithms to flexibly perform in-network processing of multimedia contents. This special issue solicits papers on all aspects of multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks, with a primary focus on three key aspects. First, content-aware cross-layer design and resource allocation techniques, as well as new networking protocols based on metrics associated with quality of service/video/experience are of particular interest. Second, original papers examining networking aspects that leverage advances in physical and multiple access techniques to support multimedia traffic are particularly welcome. Third, papers investigating the interdependencies between multimedia in-network processing and networking aspects are sought, e.g., architectures and techniques to store, process in real-time, correlate and fuse multimedia data originating from heterogeneous sources. The objective of this special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects of multimedia content delivery over ad hoc and sensor networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference are solicited. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures and applications for multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks - Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming - Distortion and quality/experience-aware cross-layer design - Optimization techniques for multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks - Capacity modeling - Quality-aware medium access control, scheduling, routing, and transport - Quality-aware resource management and admission control - Cross-layer design for P2P streaming - Experimental and testbed-based studies - Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design - Standardization issues related to quality-aware cross-layer design - Multimedia traffic on cognitive radio networks - Cooperative communication techniques for real-time video streaming - MIMO techniques for multimedia delivery - Physical layer technologies for efficient delivery of multimedia content - Secure multimedia communications - Joint multimedia processing and communication - Compressed sensing for multimedia sensor networks - Distributed source/video coding and multimedia processing Submission Instructions: Prospective Authors: Please follow the Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system at http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc/ Please select Article Type: ³SI: Multimedia Ad Hoc And Sensor Networks².

[Fwd: CFP MST Journal Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CFP MST Journal Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks Datum: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 09:15:52 +0100 Von: Adam Dunkels <adam(a)sics.se> An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Call for papers Measurement Science and Technology Journal (Institute of Physics) Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks: Designing for Real-World Deployment and Deployment Experiences A vast number of protocols, architectures and design methods for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been proposed within the last decade. Analytical methods, simulation tools and laboratory experimentation were used to validate the proposals and demonstrate that the solutions put forth should work as expected. However, many such solutions failed (and sometimes quite dramatically) when deployed in a real-world application context. This is often the consequence of making ill-informed assumptions about the environment in which the WSN will be deployed, lack of attention to specific conditions that will be encountered in the deployment and incomplete application specification. In addition, good solutions for many important real-world deployment problems are missing. For example, mechanisms for dealing with missing data, in-network debugging tools or fault management strategies for real deployments are required. This special issue has several aims: * to collect insights from real-world deployment efforts that can help the WSN community to better understand the issues needed to be accounted for when designing WSN protocols, architectures and algorithms; * to document particular real-world deployment issues encountered by practical scientists and highlight more generic WSN solutions and tools born from practical, deployment experience; * to report on WSN protocols and mechanisms that have had, in the past, only a theoretical treatment but have recently been proven to work well in real-world deployments. We are seeking contributions describing innovative work in the realm of real-world WSN deployments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Issues with deployment assumptions: setting realistic application requirements; user interaction with the WSN design process and with the end systems; the use of communication channel and sensor and sensing models; experiences with communication protocols, energy management and expected network lifetime; in-network processing; real-time issues in deployed systems; effective information extraction strategies. * Supporting tools and methods for real-world deployment: deployment and debugging tools; on-the fly programming, configuration and installation support; management of deployed sensor networks; security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks; fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks; network health monitoring and management; practical medium access control protocols; topology control and routing protocols in real-world deployments; practical localization and time synchronization. * Novel real-life WSN applications: deployment success stories leading to technology adoption; failure stories leading to iterative hw/sw developments and re-deployment; novel measurement instruments based on WSNs. Notes for Prospective Authors: The scope of this call is restricted to work that falls within the remit of the MST Journal. Articles should bring forth new WSN based measurement techniques and systems, significant improvements to existing measurement techniques or describe the application of existing techniques in novel situations. Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Expanded, archival versions of papers delivered at technical conferences are welcomed. Important dates: Extended abstract deadline: 15th March 2010 (by email to e.gaura(a)coventry.ac.uk) Manuscript submission deadline: 31st March 2010 Expected Publication date: December 2010 (available on-line from November 2010) Manuscript Submission Instructions for Prospective Authors: Please follow the MST journal manuscript format described at http://www.iop.org/EJ/journal/-page=extra.2/MST and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system or by email, as per instructions at http://www.iop.org/EJ/submit/0957-0233 .

This results in an unprecedented request for lightweight, wireless communication devices with excellent usability and performance as well as the ability to support added-value services in a highly mobile environment - following the user everywhere he goes (at work, at home, while travelling, in a classroom, etc.). Besides attractive business opportunities this opens up exciting research and development areas. This scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to support the ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE philosophy, introducing novel and fast-evolving requirements and expectations on research and development in the field of information and communication technologies. The core issue is to support wireless users' desire of 24/7 reliable network availability and transparent access to "their own" personalized services. In this framework and motivated by the interdisciplinary competences needed to build successful lightweight wireless systems, the MOBILIGHT conference will provide an international forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the diverse areas involved in lightweight wireless systems design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange experiences, and thus realize cross-fertilization among the different worlds of academia, research centers and industry.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on: "Mobile, Multimedia, Ad Hoc & Sensor Network" Datum: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:57:57 -0000 Von: Lei SHU <lei.shu(a)live.ie> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems (IJCNDS) http://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=1228 Special Issue on: "Mobile, Multimedia, Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks" Ad hoc and sensor networks have received considerable attention from both the academic community and industry for many years, since these networks are the key underlying infrastructure for realising next generation networking and computing, e.g., ubiquitous computing, 4 G all IP networks. Along with the rapid development of hardware and embedded systems, ad hoc and sensor networks are being further developed towards a large number of mobile and multimedia applications, e.g., video surveillance, traffic enforcement and control systems, advanced healthcare delivery, structural health monitoring, and industrial process control. To eventually realise these mobility and multimedia technologies combined applications, significant efforts are still needed from both the academic community and industrial fields, since the requirements for supporting both mobility and multimedia streaming in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks raise many challenging issues, e.g., mobile network self-organisation, limited resource intelligent allocation, cross-layer optimisation, and intelligent content-aware transmission. In this special issue, we solicit research papers on all aspects of mobile, multimedia, ad hoc and sensor networks. We are especially interested in the research submissions focusing on the following four key aspects: * Congestion control problem: when multiple multimedia source nodes are deployed in wireless multimedia sensor networks and they try to send out the streaming data to a single base station at the same time, a well designed congestion control scheme is essential * Mobility support problem: when both multimedia source nodes and sink nodes can be mobile, it is easy to see that there is an opportunity to apply the game theory to further solve some of the more complicated optimisation problems * Duty-cycle support problem: when sensor nodes in the wireless multimedia sensor networks are random duty-cycled based, the network topology and connectivity of sensor networks can change from time to time. It is important to further investigate a cross layer optimised sensor node sleeping scheduling scheme to guarantee the network connectivity for packet delivery * Target tracking problem: when multiple video sensor nodes are deployed to tracking a certain target in the sensor networks, it is important to further explore the collaboration between multiple video sensor nodes for facilitating the target tracking task. The objective of special issue is to bring together state-of-the-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key aspects of mobile, multimedia ad hoc and sensor networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review are solicited. Topics to be covered in this special issue include but are not limited to: * Scalable and flexible network architectures, deployments, and heterogeneous applications * New middleware, system, and underlying infrastructure * Semantic annotation for multimedia streams processing and management * Protocols for supporting real-time and reliable multimedia streaming * Energy-efficient multimedia gathering, transmission, traffic management, and sensor data management * Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design, and optimisation for effective communications * Context/content aware approaches for facilitating multimedia streaming * Secure multimedia streaming and transmission, QoS and admission control * Cooperative transmission for multimedia delivery, and collaborative in-network processing * Experimental and test bed studies, simulation tools * Joint multimedia processing and communication solutions * Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding * Capacity modeling, performance analysis, and theoretical analysis * Topology control and synchronisation protocols * Delay-tolerant networking and physical layer technologies * Distributed source coding, and lightweight multimedia encoding techniques * Multimedia aggregation and fusion, and multimedia sensor coverage * In-network and distributed storage techniques * MIMO techniques for multimedia delivery * Multimedia traffic on cognitive radio networks Important Dates Submission deadline: 1 March, 2010 First rejection/revision/acceptance notice: 1 June, 2010 Revision submission deadline: 1 August, 2010 Final acceptance/rejection notice: 1 October, 2010 Final manuscript due: 1 November, 2010 Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: EURASIP JWCN SI on Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of Wireless Sensor Network Systems Datum: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:22:28 +0800 Von: Jiangchuan Liu <jcliu(a)cs.sfu.ca> Antwort an: jcliu(a)cs.sfu.ca Organisation: Simon Fraser University, Metro-Vancouver, BC, Canada An: tccc <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Referenzen: <200910082346246552747(a)cs.sfu.ca> EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, Special Issue on Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of Wireless Sensor Network Systems http://www.hindawi.com/journals/wcn/si/wsns.html Call for Papers The recent advances in embedded software/hardware design have enabled large-scale and cost-effective deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Such a network consists of many small sensor nodes with sensing, control, data processing, communications, and networking capabilities. The wireless sensor networks have a broad spectrum applications ranging from wild life monitoring and battlefield surveillance to border control and disaster relief, and have attracted significant interests from both academy and industry. A wireless sensor node generally has limited storage and computation capabilities, as well as severely constrained power supplies, and the networks often operate in harsh unattended environments. Successful design and deployment of wireless sensor networks thus call for technology advances and integrations in diverse fields including embedded hardware manufacturing and signal processing as well as wireless communications and networking across all layers. We have seen the initial and incremental deployment of real sensor networks in the past decade, for example, the ZebraNet for wildlife tracking, the CitySense for weather and air pollutants reporting, and the Sensormap portal for generic monitoring services, to name but a few; yet the full potentials of such networks in the real world remain to be explored and demonstrated, which involves numerous practical challenges in diverse aspects. This special issue aims to summarize the latest development in the design, implementation, and evaluation of wireless sensor systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Practical architecture and protocol design for sensor communications and networking * Management, monitoring, and diagnosis of sensor networks * Implementation and measurement of experimental systems and testbeds * Experience with real-world deployments of wireless sensor networks * Interactions with ubiquitous communication and networking infrastructures * Novel killer applications of wireless sensor networks We solicit original unpublished research papers only. Papers previously published in conference/workshop proceedings can be considered, but should be substantially extended. 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 Due February 15, 2010 First Round of Reviews May 15, 2010 Publication Date August 15, 2010 Guest Editors * Jiangchuan Liu, School of Computing Science, Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada * Jiannong Cao, Department of Computing, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong * Xiang-Yang Li, Department of Computer Science, Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, IL, USA * Limin Sun, Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing, China * Dan Wang, Department of Computing, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong * Edith C.-H.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC) Datum: Mon, 7 Dec 2009 08:30:00 -0500 Von: conference-services(a)ieee.org Antwort an: j.gozalvez(a)umh.es An: wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de Referenzen: <A1259786566198113837.wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> To: Members of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) === Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVeC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the successful first and second WiVeC editions in 2007 and 2008, the third IEEE WiVeC symposium will be co-located with the 71th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2010 Spring conference, and will take place at the Grand Hotel in Taipei on the 16th and 17th of May 2010. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVeC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2010-Spring conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVeC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVeC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVeC edition in 2009. Topics of interest ------------------ The WiVec Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models. * Radio resource management and interference management. * Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations. * Architecture, networking protocols (including ad-hoc, routing, data dissemination, etc) and their evalutation. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design. * Communications systems and technologies. * Testbeds and simulation platforms. * Interworking with sensor network technologies. * In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications. * Roadside infrastructure. * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models. * Digital maps and location technologies. * Decision and control issues. * Human-Machine Interface. * Applications (Ecall, toll collection, traffic information, wireless diagnosis etc.). * Security, liability and privacy. * Standards development, business models, policies (e.g., Cooperative aspects of vehicular communication). * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety. * Scalability issues in metropolitan-wide vehicular networks. Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2010/ Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission Deadline: 24 December 2009 Notification of acceptance: 25 January 2010 Camera-ready papers due: 15 February 2010 ================================================================================ You have received this mailing because you are a member of IEEE and/or one of the IEEE Technical Societies.

Fachgespräch Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden Datum: Sun, 06 Dec 2009 13:20:34 +0100 Von: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de> An: elg(a)nets.rwth-aachen.de Liebe Kollegen, wir moechten auf die Einreichungsfrist fuer das 3. Fachgespraech Energiebewusste Systeme und Methoden hinweisen: 15.12.2009 Wir werden dieses Fachgespräch im Rahmen eines Workshops der ARCS organisieren, d.h. die Beitraege werden auch im Tagungsband veröffentlicht (und bei IEEE gelistet, die ARCS Organisatoren arbeiten an diesem Thema). Das Fachgespraech wird - in alter FG-Manier - am Nachmittag des 22.2. beginnen und am 23.2. vormittags fortgesetzt. So bleibt die Moeglichkeit, im Rahmen eines gemeinsamen Abendessens offene Fragen zu diskutieren und unsere Doktoranden koennen sich in lockerer Umgebung untereinander und mit erfahreneren Professoren vernetzen. Das Fachgespräch ist grundsaetzlich als lockeres Diskussionsforum gedacht. Wir hoffen auf zahlreiche Beitraege aus Ihren Reihen und nat. auf aktive Teilnahme, nicht nur von Doktoranden, sondern auch von erfahreneren Teilnehmern, die sich in die Diskussion einbringen wollen und koennen. Viele Gruesse, Frank Bellosa, Falko Dressler und Dirk Timmermann ------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS GI/ITG Workshop on Energy-aware Systems and Methods held in conjunction with ARCS 2010 - Architecture of Computing Systems February 22-23, 2010; Hannover, Germany <http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/fg-energie/2010/> ------------------------------------------------------------------- Aims and scope -------------- Energy is considered a critical or even the most critical resource in many computing systems. Applications comprise a wide range of system capabilities including cloud computing, mobile laptops or PDAs, as well as cell phones, sensor networks, and deeply embedded devices. Thus, for functional and ecological reasons energy awareness and energy-aware operation are fundamental demands for any system. In recent years, a new research domain was established as an interdisciplinary field among different areas of computer science (e.g., operating systems and computer networks) and electrical engineering (e.g., wireless communication and chip design). Based on findings in the field of energy-aware systems and methods, novel application scenarios can be envisioned encompassing even stronger requirements on reliability, resilience, lifetime, adaptability, and self-organization. This workshop aims to provide a forum to discuss recent results in the field of energy-awareness that is a cross-cutting concern in many areas in systems research. Based on intensive discussions of energy-critical issues in the different layers and the different approaches to energy-aware system design, the participants will be able to study energy-related problems from multiple perspectives and to look into the complex interactions among those layers. We especially encourage PhD students to participate, to share their ideas and findings, and to network with other fellows working in the same field. Topics of interest ------------------ Whereas the workshop mainly focuses on energy-aware systems and methods, contributions are favored that span all the related fields of study. This includes the following aspects: - Operating system support - Communication methods - Protocol engineering - Simulation techniques - Cross-layer design of energy-aware systems - Application and hardware support for energy-aware operation Organization ------------ The workshop is organized as a follow-up to the successful “GI/ITG Fachgespräch” on energy-aware systems and methods. Key organizers are Prof. Dr. Frank Bellosa (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), PD Dr. Falko Dressler (University of Erlangen), and Prof. Dr. Dirk Timmermann (University of Rostock). Important dates --------------- • December 15, 2009: Paper submission deadline. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. • January 15, 2009: Notification of acceptance • January 20, 2010: Final paper submission • February 22/23, 2010: Workshop Submissions ----------- Submission of both technical papers and position papers is encouraged. Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration else-where. Page limit for accepted papers (in English) is 10 pages; the submission of short papers is also encouraged. Accepted papers will be published at the VDE publishing house, and will go to IEEE library (pending), and will also receive an ISBN number. -- PD Dr. Falko Dressler Computer Networks and Communication Systems University of Erlangen, Germany Phone: +49 9131 85-27914 / Fax: +49 9131 85-27409 mailto:dressler@informatik.uni-erlangen.de http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/ _______________________________________________ ELG mailing list ELG(a)nets.rwth-aachen.de http://mail-i4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/mailman/listinfo/elg

The general aim of ambient systems is to provide an environment wherein computing devices exist anywhere and everywhere. In such systems mobile and embedded computing devices form ad hoc collaboration using different communication networks (e.g., wireless networks, RFID, etc) in order to share and exchange information and provide services. Ambient systems pose new research challenges due to the open and unreliable nature of the environment and the complexity and heterogeneity of the computing devices and the underlying communication networks. These characteristics challenge traditional techniques and demand new ways of approaching the problems related to the ambient systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST ----------------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit papers to the following research tracks. Details on topics of each track are available at the conference website. - Ambient-oriented Autonomic Networks and Communications - Ambient Systems Software Engineering - Ambient Systems Security and Privacy - Distributed Ambient Artificial Intelligence - Emerging Ambient Networking, Tracking and Sensing Technologies - Multimodal Interfaces for Ambient Systems - Service Oriented Computing for Ambient Systems & Applications - Smart Environments and Applications in Ambient Systems PUBLICATION ------------------- Papers accepted for the conference will be published in the proceedings of Communications in Computer and Information Science series, Springer.
