[Tccc] CFP: The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-10)
by Dr. Isaac Woungang 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

================================================================== Call for Papers The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-10) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 24th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-10), Perth, Australia, April 20-23, 2010 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON10/ ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- With the explosive deployment of mobile wireless devices recently, Opportunistic Networking is becoming an increasingly popular area in networking research, in which the assumption of having end-to-end paths between the source and the destination is relaxed. Such networks fall into the fields of mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) and delay-tolerant networking (DTN).Opportunistic Networks enable user communication in an environment where disconnection and reconnection are common and link performance is extremely dynamic. They are very suitable to support the situation where network infrastructure has limited coverage and users have "islands of connectivity". By taking advantage of device mobility, information can be stored and forwarded over a wireless link when connection 'opportunities' arise (e.g. an appropriate network contact is met). In this view, traditional Internet connectivity can be considered as a special case of connection opportunity. With numerous emerging applications, Opportunistic Networks allow a huge number of devices to communicate end-to-end without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure and are very suitable to support pervasive networking scenarios. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Advanced technologies for enabling opportunistic communication * Architectures for opportunistic networks * Applications for opportunistic networks * Biological and social models for opportunistic communication * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Network and resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * MAC layer issues and physical layer for opportunistic networks * Simulation and modeling of Opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts the following website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=won10 The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission: Nov 01, 2009 Author Notification: Dec 01, 2009 Final Manuscript Due: Jan 15, 2010 Workshop Date: 20 April 2010 General Chair Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Isaac Woungang, Ryerson University, Canada Program Committee Members (To be determined) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Researchers] Elsevier's Information Fusion Journal, Special Issue on "Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks" Datum: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 01:02:12 -0300 Von: Profa Mirela Sechi Moretti Annoni Notare <mirela(a)barddal.br> An: <researchers(a)mailman.ufsc.br> [Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] Elsevier's Information Fusion Journal, Special Issue on "Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks" http://www.elsevierscitech.com/lmfile/otherformat/IFJ-CFP-RCN-Final.pdf Submission Deadline: February 28, 2010 The Information Fusion Journal (IFJ), an Elsevier publication (JCR 2008: 2.057), is planning a special issue devoted to Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in Resource-Constrained Networks. Resource-Constrained Networks (RCNs) include a wide variety of networks in which resources - such as processing, communication, and energy - are limited. Examples of RCNs include ad hoc networks, sensor networks, mobile networks, and pervasive systems. In RCNs, the tradeoff between data quality and resource usage (especially energy) is a major concern. In this case, Localized Algorithms and Information Fusion are particularly interesting for RCNs, since the development of efficient practical solutions and algorithms is possibly the most challenging task for such networks. On one hand, Localized Algorithms are special distributed algorithms in which only a subset of nodes partakes in the network tasks, such as data acquisition, processing, and communication. On the other hand, Information Fusion is often used for improving the quality of data being transmitted in these networks. Thus, Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion must deal with the challenge of working with partial views, or incomplete data, to provide accurate results at reduced cost. This special issue will cover a broad range of aspects of Localized Algorithms for Information Fusion in RCNs, including ad hoc and mobile networks, wireless sensor networks, networked pervasive systems. We seek technical papers describing original (previously unpublished in any form or forum) ideas, groundbreaking results, and quantified system experiences. We especially encourage submissions that highlight practical deployments of RCNs, new application domains, and critical surveys of the state-of-the-art. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: - In-network query processing and data storage; - Localized signal processing; - Localized estimation, reasoning, and inference; - Localized information fusion for time synchronization; - Localized information fusion for location discovery and location-based services; - Localized information fusion for reliability and fault tolerance; - Localized information fusion for communication protocols at all layers (MAC, scheduling, routing, transport, and application); - Quality-aware resource management using localized information fusion; - Mobility control and coordination; - Optimization techniques for localized information fusion in homogeneous and heterogeneous RCNs; - Localized information fusion for data compression and distributed source coding. Manuscripts must describe original, completed, and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal, magazine, or conference. Submission Instructions Prospective authors should follow the Information Fusion (Elsevier) journal manuscript format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/inffus. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically online at http://ees.elsevier.com/inffus. In the submission process, the authors should clearly indicate that the submission is to be considered for this special issue.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM MONET special issue on "Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks Datum: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:15:09 +0300 Von: Thanos Vasilakos <vasilako(a)ath.forthnet.gr> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Dear Thanos ============================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS * ACM MONET special issue on "Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks" * <http://www.bodynets.org/docs/MONET-SI-UBSN-CFP.pdf> http://www.bodynets.org/docs/MONET-SI-UBSN-CFP.pdf ============================================================ Overview Recently, there has been a lot of increasing investigation on a new type of wireless sensor network, which is generally known as body sensor networks (BSNs). Following the continuous advances in wireless communications technologies, there is a growing interest in the design and development of BSNs systems for applications of improving people’s daily life, which leads to an increasing demand on interconnecting BSNs with other emerging wireless technologies, such as RFID technology, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiBree, video surveillance system, WPAN, WLAN, internet, and cellular network. With BSNs being incorporated into these technologies, BSNs become ubiquitous. The marketing opportunities for advanced consumer electronics and services will be expanded extensively. More and more autonomous and intelligent applications which are close to human’s life will be generated. For example, by using body sensors to collect patient information, and by deploying diverse wireless networking systems for enhanced diagnosis assistance and action handling, better E-healthcare management system can be designed for providing more desirable services, which implies huge market yet to be discovered, due to an increasing demand of E-healthcare management system in recent years. In this special issue, we solicit research papers on body sensor hardware, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, biomedical sensor data processing and management. Especially, we are interested in the following communication issues: *Intra-BSN Communication: The terminology of “intra-BSN communication” defines the communication directly relates to the user with the radio coverage of about 2 meters, which consists of two categories: (1) the communication among the body sensors, which are deployed strategically on the human body or planted inside the body, as well as attached within in the human’s clothing; (2) the communication between the body sensors and the portable personal server, which typically can be a cell phone, PDA or headset. *Inter-BSN communication: The terminology of “inter-BSN communication” defines the communication between the personal server and one or multiple access points. The access point can be deployed as a part of infrastructure, or strategically placed in dynamic environment for handling emergency situation. The inter-BSN communication will interconnect BSNs with the wide range networks which are easy to be accessed in daily life. *Beyond-BSN communication: The beyond-BSN communication is used to interconnect BSN with outside world, which enhances the application and coverage range of body sensor system a step further through pervasive communication technology, such as internet and cellular networks. 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 Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference/special issue are solicited. Topics Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope: - New applications of ubiquitous body-sensor networks, e.g., healthcare and consumer electronics applications - Remote health/fitness monitoring in ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., location and mobility issues - Ambulatory monitoring and BSN assisted rehabilitation, bio-motion, wellbeing analysis and clinical applications - Emerging engineering issues and wearable, implantable/ingestible sensor integration and development platforms. - Scalable and flexible network architectures and deployments for ubiquitous body sensor networks - Advanced body sensor devices, e.g., novel bioelectrical, biochemical, biophysical, and mechanical sensors - Networking and data transmission issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks - Integrating emerging wireless technologies with ubiquitous body sensor networks - Integration with ambient sensors for personalized smart spaces and applications - Link to environment sensing, smart dwellings, and home monitoring - MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for Intra-BSN Communication - Standards for light-weight communication protocols and integration with heterogeneous networks - Advanced algorithms for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., routing, data processing, packet scheduling - Power efficient issues, e.g., low power RF transceivers, energy scavenging, miniaturization, system integration - Signal processing, context awareness and multi-sensory fusion - Mobile and multimedia supported ubiquitous body sensor networks - Server side body sensor networks information processing, data mining, transient pattern recognition, and long-term, predictive trend analysis - Sensor data management issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., publish-subscribe approach - Query processing and optimization for ubiquitous body sensor networks - Sensor data stream processing in ubiquitous body sensor networks - Semantic Web technology enabled ubiquitous body sensor networks - Adaptability and stability of ubiquitous body sensor networks - Transactions and workflows in ubiquitous body sensor networks - Information support, security, privacy, and fault tolerance issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks Important Dates 􀁹 Manuscript submission deadline: Feb. 20, 2010 􀁹 Notification of acceptance: May 20, 2010 􀁹 Submission of final revised paper: July 20, 2010 􀁹 Publication of special issue: 3rd or 4th Quarter, 2010 (Tentative) Submission Procedure Authors should follow the MONET Journal manuscript format at the journal site: <http://www.springerlink.com/content/101750/> http://www.springerlink.com/content/101750/ .

[Tccc] Wiley IJCS special issue on "Advances in Multimedia Communications"
by Min Chen 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

-------------------------------------------------------------- INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS Special Issue on 'Advances in Multimedia Communications' -------------------------------------------------------------- Submission deadline: 1 May 2010 OVERVIEW: Recent advances in communications technologies have witnessed a growing and evolving multimedia content delivery market based on information gathering, manipulation, and dissemination. It is a fact that personal communications, computing, broadcasting, entertainment, etc. have turned into streams of multimedia content, and the various communication and network technologies have become the means to carry that content to a wide variety of terminals. Unlike traditional communication systems, a fundamental challenge for present and future communication systems is the ability to transport multimedia content over a variety of networks energy-efficiently at different channel conditions and bandwidth capacities with various requirements of quality-of-service. There are many issues need to be addressed such as signal processing, collaborations, power management, flexible delivery, specialization of new content, dynamic access, telecommunications, networking, etc., due to the multi-disciplinary nature of the applications in advanced multimedia communications. The goal of this issue is to bring together the state of the art research contribution that describes original and unpublished work addressing the new emerging techniques on multimedia communications. Especially, we solicit research papers on addressing challenging issues existing for enabling mobile multimedia communications over heterogeneous infrastructure for realizing next generation networking and computing, e.g., 4 G all IP networks, ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks, ubiquitous computing environments, cognitive radio networks, etc. For example, ubiquitous multimedia is a requirement in next generation networks, such as multimedia adaption in wireless network; multimedia services in ubiquitous circumstance; improving distributed multimedia communication through location awareness, action awareness, user awareness, etc. On the other hand, due to the limited computational power, memory and battery energy in wireless and portable terminals, power efficient design also plays important role in next generation mobile multimedia applications.

!!!! DEADLINE EXTENDED to September 25 !!!! **** MMSys 2010 **** Call For Papers ACM Multimedia Systems 2010 February 22-23, 2010 Scottsdale, Arizona www.mmsys.org Important Dates: * September 25, 2009 - Full Paper Submission Deadline Submit papers via EDAS here: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8151 * November 1, 2009 - Notification of Acceptance * December 1, 2009 - Final Paper Due * February 22, 2010 - Conference Over the years, ACM SIG Multimedia has received numerous requests to create a multimedia systems conference, targeted at the systems aspects of handling audio, image, video, and graphics data. We are pleased to announce the First Annual ACM Multimedia Systems (MMSys) Conference to be held February 22-23, 2010 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The ACM Multimedia Systems conference provides a forum for researchers, engineers, and scientist to present and share their latest research findings in multimedia systems. While research about specific aspects of multimedia systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the networking, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, MMSys aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia data types. Furthermore, MMSys provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses multimedia systems holistically. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Networking * Multimedia Operating Systems * Multimedia Databases * Large-Scale and Remote Display Architectures * Real-Time Support For Multimedia * Networked Games * Virtual and Augmented Worlds * Cyber-Physical Systems * Peer-to-Peer Architectures for Streaming and Multicast * Modeling of Multimedia Systems * Multimedia Interfaces * Multimedia Middleware and Toolkits * Multimedia Programming Languages * Cloud-based Multimedia Processing * Multi-core Support for Multimedia * Mobile Multimedia Systems * 3D and Multiview Streaming Original papers on emerging and traditional areas of multimedia systems are sought. All submissions should not currently be under review in another venue and should be prepared using the standard double-column ACM proceedings style format. Papers should be a maximum of 12 pages in length. Short papers (3-6 pages) are also encouraged and will be evaluated for inclusion in a short-paper track. Papers should be clearly motivated by themes and issues raised primarily in the context of multimedia applications and data types such as: * Continuity of media over time * Scalability of systems to support multimedia data * Adaptation of media to support real-time requirements In addition to the refereed paper publication, there will be two unique aspects of the Multimedia Systems Conference: * Multimedia Systems will have an archival site for all its conferences. Each paper will have a blog area that will allow people with questions and comments (moderated) about a paper to be consolidated over time. We hope this will provide a service to the entire community to allow people to come up to speed more quickly about papers that have appeared at Multimedia Systems. * To help facilitate the sharing and common use of data and software, we will be having a software / data archive track that, as part of the publication process, will result in a copy of the software or data archive in the Multimedia Systems web site. This will allow researchers to more quickly converge on common data sets for comparisons.

18 Sep '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: ACM MONET SI on "Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks" Datum: Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:19:14 +0100 Von: Shu, Lei <lei.shu(a)deri.org> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this message] ============================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS * ACM MONET special issue on "Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks" * http://www.bodynets.org/docs/MONET-SI-UBSN-CFP.pdf ============================================================ Overview Recently, there has been a lot of increasing investigation on a new type of wireless sensor network, which is generally known as body sensor networks (BSNs). Following the continuous advances in wireless communications technologies, there is a growing interest in the design and development of BSNs systems for applications of improving people’s daily life, which leads to an increasing demand on interconnecting BSNs with other emerging wireless technologies, such as RFID technology, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), Zigbee, Bluetooth, WiBree, video surveillance system, WPAN, WLAN, internet, and cellular network. With BSNs being incorporated into these technologies, BSNs become ubiquitous. The marketing opportunities for advanced consumer electronics and services will be expanded extensively. More and more autonomous and intelligent applications which are close to human’s life will be generated. For example, by using body sensors to collect patient information, and by deploying diverse wireless networking systems for enhanced diagnosis assistance and action handling, better E-healthcare management system can be designed for providing more desirable services, which implies huge market yet to be discovered, due to an increasing demand of E-healthcare management system in recent years. In this special issue, we solicit research papers on body sensor hardware, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, biomedical sensor data processing and management. Especially, we are interested in the following communication issues: *Intra-BSN Communication: The terminology of “intra-BSN communication” defines the communication directly relates to the user with the radio coverage of about 2 meters, which consists of two categories: (1) the communication among the body sensors, which are deployed strategically on the human body or planted inside the body, as well as attached within in the human’s clothing; (2) the communication between the body sensors and the portable personal server, which typically can be a cell phone, PDA or headset. *Inter-BSN communication: The terminology of “inter-BSN communication” defines the communication between the personal server and one or multiple access points. The access point can be deployed as a part of infrastructure, or strategically placed in dynamic environment for handling emergency situation. The inter-BSN communication will interconnect BSNs with the wide range networks which are easy to be accessed in daily life. *Beyond-BSN communication: The beyond-BSN communication is used to interconnect BSN with outside world, which enhances the application and coverage range of body sensor system a step further through pervasive communication technology, such as internet and cellular networks. 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 Ubiquitous Body Sensor Networks. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference/special issue are solicited. Topics Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope: - New applications of ubiquitous body-sensor networks, e.g., healthcare and consumer electronics applications - Remote health/fitness monitoring in ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., location and mobility issues - Ambulatory monitoring and BSN assisted rehabilitation, bio-motion, wellbeing analysis and clinical applications - Emerging engineering issues and wearable, implantable/ingestible sensor integration and development platforms. - Scalable and flexible network architectures and deployments for ubiquitous body sensor networks - Advanced body sensor devices, e.g., novel bioelectrical, biochemical, biophysical, and mechanical sensors - Networking and data transmission issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks - Integrating emerging wireless technologies with ubiquitous body sensor networks - Integration with ambient sensors for personalized smart spaces and applications - Link to environment sensing, smart dwellings, and home monitoring - MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for Intra-BSN Communication - Standards for light-weight communication protocols and integration with heterogeneous networks - Advanced algorithms for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., routing, data processing, packet scheduling - Power efficient issues, e.g., low power RF transceivers, energy scavenging, miniaturization, system integration - Signal processing, context awareness and multi-sensory fusion - Mobile and multimedia supported ubiquitous body sensor networks - Server side body sensor networks information processing, data mining, transient pattern recognition, and long-term, predictive trend analysis - Sensor data management issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks, e.g., publish-subscribe approach - Query processing and optimization for ubiquitous body sensor networks - Sensor data stream processing in ubiquitous body sensor networks - Semantic Web technology enabled ubiquitous body sensor networks - Adaptability and stability of ubiquitous body sensor networks - Transactions and workflows in ubiquitous body sensor networks - Information support, security, privacy, and fault tolerance issues for ubiquitous body sensor networks Important Dates 􀁹 Manuscript submission deadline: Feb. 20, 2010 􀁹 Notification of acceptance: May 20, 2010 􀁹 Submission of final revised paper: July 20, 2010 􀁹 Publication of special issue: 3rd or 4th Quarter, 2010 (Tentative) Submission Procedure Authors should follow the MONET Journal manuscript format at the journal site: http://www.springerlink.com/content/101750/ .

============================================================================ IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on "Future Internet: New Applications and Emerging Services" (http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/cfp/cfpnetwork0710.html) ============================================================================ Background The Internet has been successfully deployed for several decades due to its high flexibility in running over different physical mediums and supporting different high layer protocols and applications including traditional file transfer, e-mail, and client-server based web applications. Meanwhile, we have witnessed the unprecedented development and growth of new applications and services in recent years ranging from peer-to-peer (P2P) based applications, image and video applications, location-based services, secured transactions, online hosting services, machine-to-machine (M2M) interactions, and cloud computing. These new applications and emerging services have, in different degree, demanded better than the current best-effort quality of service. The future Internet is expected to be more agile, scalable, secure and reliable, which has been considered and pursued in research projects such as NSF FIND (Future Internet Design) and GENI (Global Environment for Network Innovations) programs in the United States, and EIFFEL (Evolved Internet Future for European Leadership) and FIREworks (Future Internet Research and Experimentation - Strategy Works) projects in Europe. Such ever-emerging applications with different requirements and implications for the future Internet design pose a significantly new set of problems and challenges, which are not well understood, specifically : 1) how can they be efficiently provisioned in the future Internet? 2) how can the future Internet be evolved and/or re-designed possible with radical changes to cater for new applications and services? The goal of this special issue is to feature recent and emerging Internet applications and services, their performance, impact, demands and implications for future Internet design. Scope Papers should contain substantial tutorial content and be accessible to a general audience of researchers and practitioners. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: *Peer-to-peer applications including file transfer, live video streaming and VoD *Utility computing, cloud computing, cloud storage networks *Online hosting services *E-commerce, secured transactions *Mobile services, location-based services *New service provisioning, quality of service issues *Impact on backbone and ISP design. Submission Guidelines This special issue solicits original work that must not be under consideration for publication in other venues. Authors should refer to the IEEE Network author guidelines at http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html for information about content and formatting of submissions. The manuscripts must be written in a tutorial manner and in English. Please submit a PDF version of complete papers including a cover letter with author contact information via e-mail to FutureInternetSI(a)GMAIL.COM before the deadline. Important Dates Submissions deadline: December 15, 2009 Author notifications: March 1, 2010 Final manuscripts due: May 1, 2010 Expected publication date: July 2010 Guest Editors Bo Li Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Email: bli(a)cse.ust.hk Haibo Lin Huawei Tech.

[Tccc] Call for Papers - IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Biologically Inspired Networking
by Dinesh Verma 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Call For Papers: IEEE Network Magazine "Biologically Inspired Networking" Guest Editors: Dinesh Verma, IBM (dverma(a)us.ibm.com) Pietro Lio, University of Cambridge (pietro.lio(a)cl.cam.ac.uk) Scope: Computer Networks deployed in the field today lack many of the features which are demonstrated in the operation and mechanisms of biological networks. Some examples of features where biological networks have an advantage include their ability to maintain homeostatic environments, adapt rapidly to environmental changes, self-organize, assemble simple structures into complex tasks, autonomous operations, self-replication, protection against attacks of various natures, etc. While computer networking has many features which perform better than any biological system, it is a reasonable proposition that application of biologically inspired techniques to computing systems and networks will improve on the current state of the art in computer networks. This special issue is focused on highlighting approaches for designing computer networks that are biologically inspired, and which show an improvement in some aspect of the current state of computer networking. The goal is to develop techniques that improve the adaptability, scalability and autonomicity of comptuer networks. We welcome papers that provide new architectures and insights, real-world experience in building biological systems, theoretical advances in biological networks, and any other area of bio-inspired improvements to computer networks. Any paper that covers a technology which has a clear connection to a biological system and a demonstrable advantage to computer networks will be considered within scope. We welcome both tutorial type papers, as well as papers describing new research activities. Some of the topics of interest include: Modeling of Biological Networks Evolutionary systems and protocols Biological Inspired Network Architectures Homeostatic Control and its Applications Neural Networks applications to Computer Networks Self-healing systems and protocols Biologically Inspired Security Predator-Prey applications to computer networks Performance evaluation of biologically inspired networks Biologically inspired Network Topologies Manuscript Submission: This special issue will only consider electronic submissions in the format of postscript, PDF, or MS WORD. To submit a paper for consideration, authors should send your paper to one of the guest editors via email. The paper should be included as an email attachment, or the author may provide a URL where the file can be downloaded. Indicate which author is to serve as the primary correspondence contact. Provide a contact list for all of the other authors. Please list affiliations, mailing addresses, phone/fax numbers, and email addresses. We will provide an acknowledgment of receipt of the paper within 24 hours of submission. Schedule: Submission Deadline: November 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: January 1, 2010 (*) Final Manuscripts: March 1, 2010 Tentative Publication: May 2010 (*) Authors of papers submitted that are judged to fall outside the objectives of this special issue may be notified earlier.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] DWSAN4CIP'09: Deadline 30/9 Datum: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:09:45 +0200 Von: Evgeny Osipov <Evgeny.Osipov(a)ltu.se> Organisation: LTU An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this e-mail.) CALL FOR PAPERS DWSAN4CIP 2009 International Workshop on Dependable Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks for Critical Infrastructure Protection http://www.wsan4cip.eu/dwsan4cip November 10, 2009, Madrid, Spain Organized by EU FP7 project WSAN4CIP OVERVIEW: It is hard to overestimate the role of ICT systems in operational cycles of modern industry and life supporting infrastructures. ICT control systems are used to continuously monitor the state of industrial processes and status of critical infrastructures. Over the last few years Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSAN) technology appeared as an ideal technological building block to improve the reliability and availability of ICTs in critical operational environments. On the other hand WSANs themselves become part of a critical infrastructures and processes. Whenever another layer of complexity is added to a system, this opens new possibilities for system failures, misuse or malicious attacks. The critical prerequisite for WSANs to be adopted in performance critical applications is their dependability, i.e. the ability of a system to deliver specified services to the user. It is, however, by far not trivial to make WSANs dependable for variety of applications in different operation environments and having different performance requirements. For DWSAN workshop we solicit original contributions aiming at achieving dependability of WSAN technology on different layers. Experiences from real-life deployment of dependable WSANs, application dependent WSAN design methodologies, dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, general issues of reliability, security in dependable WSANs are some of the key research topics to be discussed during the workshop. The goal of the workshop is to present high-quality results in the field, and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context, the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. Workshop Topics Topics of interest to DWSAN 2009 include (but are not limited to) the following: * Real life experience from deployment of wireless sensor networks in critical applications * Methodologies for assessment of performance requirements * Methodologies for systematic design of WSAN communication architecture * Application of control theory for cross-layer optimization of dependable communication protocols for WSAN * Dependable MAC protocols * Dependable routing protocols * Dependable transport protocols * Intelligent energy and QoS management * Fault tolerant middleware for WSANs * Operating systems for dependable WSANs * Security services Proceedings This year DWSAN4CIP offers only Fast Track publication in workshop proceedings. Authors are invited to submit their contributions as a two pages extended abstract in double column IEEE format. Up to 10 best contributions will be invited to submit full papers for publication in electronic workshop proceedings. Revised and extended versions of the most outstanding papers will be suggested for publication in the International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection (Elsevier). Important Dates Paper submission: September 30, 2009 Acceptance notification: October 15, 2009 Camera ready: October 30, 2009 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-10) Datum: Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:49:28 -0400 Von: Dr. Isaac Woungang <iwoungan(a)scs.ryerson.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ================================================================== Call for Papers The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-10) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 24th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-10), Perth, Australia, April 20-23, 2010 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON10/ ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- With the explosive deployment of mobile wireless devices recently, Opportunistic Networking is becoming an increasingly popular area in networking research, in which the assumption of having end-to-end paths between the source and the destination is relaxed. Such networks fall into the fields of mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) and delay-tolerant networking (DTN).Opportunistic Networks enable user communication in an environment where disconnection and reconnection are common and link performance is extremely dynamic. They are very suitable to support the situation where network infrastructure has limited coverage and users have "islands of connectivity". By taking advantage of device mobility, information can be stored and forwarded over a wireless link when connection 'opportunities' arise (e.g. an appropriate network contact is met). In this view, traditional Internet connectivity can be considered as a special case of connection opportunity. With numerous emerging applications, Opportunistic Networks allow a huge number of devices to communicate end-to-end without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure and are very suitable to support pervasive networking scenarios. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Advanced technologies for enabling opportunistic communication * Architectures for opportunistic networks * Applications for opportunistic networks * Biological and social models for opportunistic communication * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Network and resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * MAC layer issues and physical layer for opportunistic networks * Simulation and modeling of Opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts the following website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=won10 The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission: Nov 01, 2009 Author Notification: Dec 01, 2009 Final Manuscript Due: Jan 15, 2010 Workshop Date: 20 April 2010 General Chair Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Isaac Woungang, Ryerson University, Canada Program Committee Members (To be determined) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] CFP: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks
by Shu, Lei 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNet) http://www.inderscience.com/ijsnet Special Issue on: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks With recent technological advances in communication and computation, new Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications are growing. The emergence of low-energy and low-cost multimedia devices, such as microphones and cameras, has stimulated the development of the next generation WSN, known as Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN). WMSNs have brought unprecedented potentials especially for applications requiring ubiquitous access to the multimedia contents, such as still images, audio and video streams. The extra sensor capacity and various requirements of multimedia objects in-network processing also pose new and unique challenges. The challenges are crucial about how to energy-efficiently query, process, transfer, and store voluminous multimedia objects since most of the multimedia sensors are operated under limited battery powers. Additionally, relatively slow advancements in battery technologies make the energy constrain the fast progress in WMSNs. This special issue will bring together those leading researchers and developers in fields of data and resource management, distributed storage techniques and energy efficiency to study the particular problems and challenges of wireless multimedia sensor networks. The purpose of the special session is therefore to foster communications between various communities including distributed database management communities, multimedia communication communities and sensor networks communities, and establish a common ground for advanced research and development in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. The published papers are expected to present high quality results on state-of-the-art algorithms, novel techniques and real applications associated with Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Multimedia in-network processing in WMSN * Distributed source coding in WMSN * Multimedia aggregation and fusion in WMSN * Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN 2. WMSN architectures and applications * Scalable and flexible WMSN architecture * WMSN design for supporting heterogeneous applications * Multimedia sensor coverage * Novel WMSN applications * Experimental studies of WMSN * WMSN modelling and performance analysis 3. Emerging WMSN technologies * Hardware platform * Physical layer technologies * Energy harvesting technologies 4. Effective and energy-efficient protocols for WMSN * Real-time and reliable multimedia streaming * Routing and medium access control * Topology control and synchronization protocols * Energy efficient traffic management * QoS provisioning protocols 5. Cross-layer design in WMSN * Joint multimedia processing and communication * Cooperative communication for multimedia delivery * Effective cross-layer communication protocols * Joint optimization for WMSN design 6. Data management for WMSN * In-network and distributed storage techniques for WMSN * Lightweight multimedia encoding techniques * Collaborative in-network processing * Energy-efficient DBMS for WMSN Manuscript due: Nov 28, 2009; Acceptance/rejection notification: March 31, 2010; Final manuscript due: Jun 31, 2010; Publication date: 4th Quarter of 2010.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP : JNSM Special Issue on New Advances on Measurement Based Network Management Datum: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 12:52:32 -0500 Von: Choi, Baek-Young <choiby(a)umkc.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call For Papers: Journal of Network and Systems Management Special Issue on New Advances on Measurement Based Network Management http://www.csee.umkc.edu/jnsm/cfp_dir/cfp_mbnm09.html Network measurement and monitoring play a vital role in the healthy operation of networks of all sizes, and find their applications in essentially all aspects of network management, including network traffic engineering, network capacity planning, billing, network security, network protocol, and algorithm testing. Network measurement and monitoring provide the essential techniques, algorithms, and tools for any informed decision-making process in network management. On the other hand, today's networks are becoming increasingly more heterogeneous in terms of both network technologies and traffic, impacted by various factors including the wide deployment of wireless and sensor networks and the increasing popularity of peer-to-peer applications, network games, and VoIP. In addition, the network speed has been continuously increasing. Network attackers are also becoming more sophisticated in carrying out network attacks, recruiting zombie members, and hiding their true identities. All these developments pose profound challenges and present abounding opportunities in network measurement and monitoring research. In this special issue, we solicit original work in all areas of network measurement and monitoring. In particular, we seek original work on identifying new research and development challenges and developing new techniques and algorithms in measurement based network management. Specific topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Measurement based billing * Measurement based admission control * Measurement techniques * Large scale network data measurement and characterization studies * Measurement data management * Network measurement of new test-bed * Tools for network performance evaluation * Measurement based network reliability, dependability, and security techniques * Autonomous management platform * Management issues for next generation network Submission Guidelines: Authors are invited to submit high quality and original work that is not under review in any conference or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: HotMobile 2010: Call for Papers Datum: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 07:52:33 -0500 Von: Fran Spinola <spinola(a)HQ.ACM.ORG> Antwort an: Fran Spinola <spinola(a)HQ.ACM.ORG> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG HotMobile 2010 The Eleventh Workshop on Mobile Computing, Systems, and Applications Annapolis, MD, USA February 22-23, 2010 http://www.hotmobile.org/2010/ Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE Preliminary Call for Papers ACM HotMobile 2010, the eleventh Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2010 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas.To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Important Dates Paper submission due: October 12, 2009 Acceptance notification: To be announced Revised papers due: To be announced Paper submissions are due by 23:59 PDST on Monday October 12, 2009. Paper Submission Instructions Paper submissions are due on Oct 12th 2009 at 23:59:59 PDST (Pacific Daylight Savings Time). Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates The workshop proceedings will be published by the ACM and distributed at the workshop on a USB memory stick. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from future issues of the SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS LOCAN 2009 The 5th International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/locan2009 In conjunction with MSN, 14-16, Dec. 2009 Wu Yi Mountain, China Subject and Purpose of the Workshop ----------------------------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The workshop scope includes network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques Topics of Interest ------------------ We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control for ad hoc networks * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting in ad hoc networks * Geocasting and anycasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management in ad hoc networks * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions Submissions ----------- Papers must not exceed 8 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be included in the MSN main proceedings and will be published by the IEEE Press and EI-indexed. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format) through EasyChair "http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=locan09". For submission-related questions, please contact program co-chairs. Important Dates --------------- Manuscript Submission: September 15, 2009 Acceptance Notification: October 1, 2009 Camera Ready Manuscript Due: October 15, 2009 General Co-Chairs ----------------- David Simplot-Ryl, Univ. Lille 1 and INRIA Lille-Nord Europe, France Ivan Stojmenovic, SITE, University of Ottawa, Canada Program Co-Chairs ----------------- Nathalie Mitton, INRIA Lille-Nord Europe, France Xu Li, SITE, University of Ottawa, Canada Publicity Chair --------------- Hannes Frey, University of Paderborn, Germany _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
