-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CFP: Computer Communications Special issue on Mobile Social Sensing Datum: Sat, 15 Mar 2014 19:06:18 -0700 Von: Donghoon Shin <misaengma(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Donghoon Shin <misaengma(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Call for Papers: Special issue on Mobile Ubiquitous Sensing: from Social Network Viewpoint Scope: The emergence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has opened up a new door to information retrieving and built up a bridge between the physical world and information domain. A major factor that impedes the applicability of sensor networks is the huge deployment cost and management overhead. The past few years have witnessed the dramatic proliferation of portable mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablet computers. Notably, these popular pocket-sized gadgets are embedded with a set of versatile sensors, which could provide abundant data about individuals, human society and environments. This new mobile sensor network formed by mobile devices provides a new horizon for ubiquitous sensing at a low cost. Under the new paradigm of mobile ubiquitous sensing, each mobile device is held by an individual. The underlying social tie among individuals will play an important role in the mobile sensing process. It is, therefore, of great interest to study the mobile ubiquitous sensing from the perspective of social networks. This issue has not received much attention though the traditional way of ubiquitous sensing has, instead, been extensively investigated. Topics of primary interest include, but not limited to: l System/platform designs to enable mobile sensing l Incentives mechanism design to guarantee the coverage, i.e., quality of sensing. l Social structure modeling and analysis l Coverage improvement design via social structure l Individual behavior modeling and analysis l Architectural, modeling and simulation of mobile ubiquitous sensing l New applications on ubiquitous sensing l Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols design l Privacy and security preserving protocol design for mobile sensing Tentative Schedule Manuscript Due: March 31, 2014 First Notification: July 31, 2014 Revised version: October 1st, 2014 Final notification: Nov. 15, 2014 Publication Date: 1st quarter of 2015 (tentative). Prospective authors can find the submission guidelines at http://ees.elsevier.com/comcom. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the Special Issue, the authors have to select "Special Issue: Mobile social sensing" when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process.

Workshop website: http://www.wsnia2014.com (or https://sites.google.com/site/wsnia2014) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Over the recent decade, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have enabled numerous applications in different domains. With the advancement of embedded systems, sensing technology, and standardization efforts, the WSN-enabled solutions to different kinds of industrial applications have attracted growing attention. These applications include environmental sensing, home/building automation, industrial condition/process monitoring, etc. Moreover, there are many WSN-enabled industrial applications inspired by the new concepts, such as Industrial Internet of Things, Smart Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and Smart Grid. The broad spectrum of WSN-enabled industrial applications involves many interdisciplinary research topics and research challenges which are yet to be solved. These challenges, for example, generally include timeliness, security, reliability, scalability, and quality of service. This workshop aims at bringing researchers together working in a variety of the subjects raised by the WSN-enabled industrial applications. Posters and research papers are welcome from communities at the fringe of industrial WSNs. Posters and papers submitted to the workshop will be reviewed and assessed by the program committee. Topics of interest include but not limited to: - Industrial WSN test-beds, applications, and data analytics in different areas - Industrial Internet of Things and Smart Manufacturing applications - Standards-based industrial WSNs (e.g., WirelessHART, ISA100.11a, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, etc.) - Fault-tolerant industrial WSNs and diagnostics - Wireless communication techniques and protocols - Energy harvesting and low-power solutions - Embedded systems software/hardware - System middleware and software services - Quality of service and performance evaluation - Real-time control and monitoring theories - Real-time applications for enterprise asset management, inventory management, shop floor interactions, field service automation, fleet management, etc. - System integration into industrial networks in different levels (e.g., field device level, automation system level, network level, etc.) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Poster Submission Guidelines: Posters are welcome to submit to the WSNIA-2014 workshop.
