-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Von: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Gesendet: Mon Apr 08 12:09:05 MESZ 2013 An: Luca Mottola <luca(a)sics.se> Betreff: CfP: Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this! -- Call for Papers: The Fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks ========================================================================== 19-20 September 2013 Como Lake (Italy) http://realwsn.deib.polimi.it Follow REALWSN on Twitter: @RealWSN! We are excited to announce that the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor will be held at the Como Lake, Italy in September 2013. The purpose of the fifth Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks (REALWSN) is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the area of sensor networks, with focus on real-world experiments or deployments. Included are also new forms of sensing such as those that leverage smart phones, Internet of Things, RFIDs, and robots. When working with real-world experiments or deployments, many new issues arise: the network environment may be composed of a variety of different technologies, leading to very heterogeneous network structures; software development for large scale networks poses new types of problems; prototype networks may differ significantly from the deployed system; actual sensor network deployments may need a complex combination of autonomous and manual configuration. Furthermore, results obtained through simulation are typically not directly applicable to operational networks and it is therefore imperative for the community to produce results from experimental research. Authors are invited to submit papers (12 pages, Springer format, 9 or 10 point font size) for presentation at the workshop. Papers will be selected based on originality, technical merit, and relevance. All topics pertaining to real-world wireless sensor networks and modern forms of sensing are of interest, including but not limited to: * Experiences with real-world deployments * Mining real-world sensor network data * Sensor systems leveraging smart phones (crowd sensing) * Sensors systems involving Internet of Things (IoT), RFIDs, robots * Experimental validation/refutation of previous simulation results obtained by others * Real-world performance of self-organization and self-management * Debugging, testing, validation, and management * Deployment and configuration * Applications in medicine, industry, science, environmental monitoring * Security and trust * Scalability in practice * Development and prototyping platforms * Operating systems, sensor network programming paradigms, and languages * Middleware for heterogeneous networks * Real-time and dependability issues * Hardware support for real-world sensor networks * Robustness at all levels: communication, software, hardware * Energy efficient protocols * Hardware and software methods for energy measurement and profiling Important dates: * Electronic submissions due: June 21st, 2013 * Notification of acceptance: August 8th, 2013 * Camera-ready copy due: August 30th, 2013 * Workshop: 19-20 September 2013 We will organize a poster and demo session as well.

Fwd: Call for Papers: The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013) - Co-located with ACM MobiCom'13
by Lars Wolf 05 Apr '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Call for Papers: The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013) - Co-located with ACM MobiCom'13 Datum: Fri, 5 Apr 2013 04:30:59 -0400 Von: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> Antwort an: Habib Ammari <hammari(a)UMICH.EDU> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG *The Second ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-* *Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2013)* *In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2013 Miami, Florida, September 30 - October 4, 2013* *http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~hammari/ACMMiSeNet_Workshop2013.html*** * *Call for Papers *Scope and Aim of ACM MiSeNet 2013* Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and lack of predictability. The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption, reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. Finally, it should account for ways to specify mission goals and requirements. ACM MiSeNet 2013 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2013 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. It will provide opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. ACM MiSeNet 2013 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2013 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following: - Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing - Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks - System design, implementation, and evaluation - Medium access control and scheduling - Human factors, data cleaning, and noise - Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information - Cross-layer design - Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing - Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency - Coverage and connectivity issues - Collaboration of humans and sensors - Deployment and localization - Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion - Topology control and fault-tolerance - Routing and data dissemination - In-network data storage and processing - Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data - Target detection and tracking - Privacy and security - Testbed design and real-world applications - Mission goal and requirement specifications *General Chair* - Thomas F.

As computer networks are becoming more complex and diverse in terms of architecture, services, and devices, the importance of measurement increases. Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and characterization of complex networks, especially emerging and fast-growing ones, such as broadband wireless, mobile, home, data centers, WSN and various heterogeneous networks (“Hetnets”). Operators of fast-growing non-traditional networks are facing new challenges as cross-layer interactions of traditional protocols exhibit new behaviors. With emerging cloud, over-the-top and mobile services and applications, performance monitoring, anomaly detection and diagnosis becomes more difficult. In addition, fully understanding the impact of new services and applications on existing traditional networks is needed for planning and provisioning purposes. Inferring user experience from network measurements has been a long-standing challenge, which remains with cloud and mobile services growing. With rapid evolution of networking technologies and architectures, the measurement community can offer invaluable insights and improve understanding where lacking, especially in cases where validation of existing results is needed. TOPICS WNM is seeking original submissions that cover a broad range of topics in monitoring, measurement and analysis across wired and wireless networks: * Measurement tools, techniques, design, and evaluation * Evaluation of Internet and smart-phone applications * Measurement across the network protocol stack * Measurement related to performance, reliability, security and privacy * Data centers, cloud-based services and content distribution networks * Measurement-based monitoring and troubleshooting of large-scale distributed systems, including cloud infrastructures * Monitoring and measurement of home networks * Network and service resiliency and performance during and after disasters and man-made outages natural * Evaluation of emerging paradigms for traditional services (e.g. moving from circuit-switched phone to VoIP) * Design, development and experiences with Big Data platforms and analytics * Assessment of previous measurement works ORGANIZATION Program Chairs Aniket Mahanti, University of Auckland, NZ Emir Halepovic, AT&T Labs - Research, US Web Chair Mingwei Gong, Mount Royal University, CA Publicity Chair Qiang Fu, Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Local Arrangements Chair Bahman Javadi, University of Western Sydney, AU Technical Program Committee Bernhard Ager, ETH Zurich, CH Marco Balduzzi, International Secure Systems Lab, IT Pere Barlet-Ros, Technical University of Catalonia, ES Paulo Carvalho, University of Minho, PT Pedro Casas, Telecommunications Research Center Vienna (FTW), AT Pavel Celeda, Masaryk University, CZ Kenjiro Cho, Internet Initiative Japan Inc., JP Ruben Cuevas Rumin, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, ES Alberto Dainotti, CAIDA, UC San Diego, US Benoit Donnet, Universite de Liege, BE Elias Duarte Jr., Federal University of Parana, BR Maurizio Dusi, NEC Laboratories Europe, DE Alessandro Finamore, Politecnico di Torino, IT Kensuke Fukuda, National Institute of Informatics, JP Jose Luis Garcia-Dorado, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, ES Francesco Gringoli, University of Brescia, IT Bamba Gueye, Universite Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, SN Mehmet Gunes, University of Nevada - Reno, US Lei Guo, Microsoft, US Xiaojun Hei, Huazhong University of Science andTechnology, CN Oliver Hohlfeld, TU Berlin, DE Tobias Hossfeld, University of Wuerzburg, DE Pan Hui, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology/ Telekom Innovation Laboratories, DE/HK Guillaume Jourjon, NICTA, AU Solange Lima, University of Minho, PT Emmanuel Lochin, University of Toulouse - ISAE, FR Olaf Maennel, Loughborough University, UK David Malone, NUI Maynooth, IE Jukka Manner, Aalto University, FI Olivier Mehani, NICTA, AU Hung Nguyen, University of Adelaide, AU Nick Nikiforakis, KU Leuven, BE Antonio Pescape, University of Napoli Federico II, IT Aiko Pras, University of Twente, NL Gregorio Procissi, University of Pisa, IT Justin Rohrer, Naval Postgraduate School, US Nadi Sarrar, TU Berlin, DE Fabian Schneider, NEC Laboratories Europe, DE Joel Sommers, Colgate University, US Kwon Taekyoung, Seoul National University, KR Stefano Traverso, Politecnico di Torino, IT Michele Vadursi, University of Naples "Parthenope", IT Shobha Venkataraman, AT&T Labs - Research, US Alex Vieira, Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, BR Matthias Wahlisch, Freie Universitat Berlin, DE Jie Xiang, Simula Research Laboratory, NO Sebastian Zander, Swinburne University of Technology, AU _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Internet Computing -- SI on Networked Games Datum: Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:27:53 +1100 Von: grenville armitage <garmitage(a)swin.edu.au> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ========================================================================== Call for papers: IEEE Internet Computing -- SI on "Networked Games" http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/iccfp3 ========================================================================== Final submission due 1 September 2013 Publication date: May/June 2014 (Please email the guest editors a brief description of the article you plan to submit by 15 August 2013.) Networked games have grown in popularity over the past decade, catalyzed by the spread of mobile and residential Internet connections with high capacities and low latencies that encourage game developers to incorporate networked features into their products. Although networked games have demonstrated commercial, artistic, and technical successes, challenges and opportunities remain as computer technologies continue to grow. Powerful, inexpensive PCs and game consoles provide the potential for immersive, multiplayer game play, but must still overcome the geographic dispersion of gamers to be fun. Cloud computing promises new models for game computation, with the added challenge of delivering interactive game content to players. Cheap, always-connected smartphones and tablets provide a new frontier for game development, but with the connectivity and security challenges that come with mobile, wireless networks. Underneath all this is the challenge of connecting clients and servers over shared and unpredictably congested IP networks. This special issue aims to bring together new research results from a variety of backgrounds that address these core challenges. Topics of interest include networked game-related work in: - scalability, cloud support, and game system architectures; - performance evaluation and optimization; - effective visualization on Internet infrastructures; - efficient message distribution and network protocol design; - latency issues and lag compensation techniques; - operating system enhancements, service platforms, and middleware; - multiplayer usability, quality of experience, and user behavior studies; - mobile games; - security and cheat detection and prevention; and - social networking in multiplayer games. Editors' note: We encourage submissions from both academic and industrial practitioners, especially as they pertain to open source tools or products, but content must have technical merit, not be an advertisement. Submission Guidelines All submissions must be original manuscripts of fewer than 5,000 words, focused on Internet technologies and implementations. All manuscripts are subject to peer review on both technical merit and relevance to IC's international readership—primarily practicing engineers and academics who are looking for material that introduces new technology and broadens familiarity with current topics. We do not accept white papers, and we discourage strictly theoretical or mathematical papers. To submit a manuscript, please log on to ScholarOne (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com:443/ic-cs) to create or access an account, which you can use to log on to IC's Author Center (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/peerreviewmagazines/acinternet) and upload your submission.
