-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Special Issue on "Planning and Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks" Datum: Mon, 09 Jul 2012 20:56:26 -0400 Von: Marc St-Hilaire <marc.st-hilaire(a)polymtl.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Call for Papers for "International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks" Special Issue on "Planning and Deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks" The area of monitoring and control of physical environments has recently become a hot spot in the technology landscape. Currently, a number of companies are offering a plethora of sensing devices with different phenomena's monitoring capabilities. These devices, a.k.a. sensors, can be tiny with limited energy and processing capabilities; they can be stand alone or integrated in various and they can be deployed to form a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) in support to a variety of military, civil, and environmental applications. In a WSN, the sensors are also capable to communicate with each other and in a multihop way propagate sensing information to data sinks and operations centers. In the last few years, wireless sensor networking has been a very active research area in both academia and the industry with a wide variety of applications. While the set of challenges in sensor networks are diverse, researches have mainly focused on fundamental networking challenges, which include: routing protocols and energy minimization. However, the performances of the proposed solutions strongly depend on the way sensors were positioned in the area. To that end, the goal of this special issue is to report on recent advances in wireless sensor network planning and deployment. Its scope is open for both theoretical and practical contributions related to WSN architecture, planning, deployments, and applications. Authors are solicited to contribute to this special issue by submitting original articles that illustrate research results, projects, and industrial experiences that describe significant advances in this field. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: - WSN deployment - WSN planning (MAC protocols, scheduling, and routing) - Clustering in WSNs - Large-scale WSN deployment - WSN coverage - Query processing for data streams - Deployment and energy-efficient communication - Self-organization and network reconfiguration - Energy harvesting in WSNs - Integrated and cross-layer solutions for WSNs - Configuration, robustness, reliability, and failure tolerance - Security, privacy, and trust - Planning and deployment of multimedia sensor networks - Planning and deployment of underwater sensor networks - Planning and deployment of body area sensor networks - Implementations, testbeds, and prototypes of WSN deployment - Applications: health, environment, emergency, tracking, and so forth - Integrated and cross-layer solutions for WSN Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at: http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/guidelines/.

This global aging problem demands an increased focus on preparing pervasive healthcare systems and applications deployed around users and capable of remotely caring for them and improving their health and well-being anywhere anytime. These systems and applications require a sophisticated integration of microcircuit, medical sensing, and wireless and mobile technologies. They largely benefit users by decreasing the dependability on special caregivers and eventually reducing healthcare expenses through a more efficient use of healthcare resources and an earlier detection of life-threatening emergency situations. However, the realization of pervasive healthcare sets some additional critical requirements, e.g. realtimeness and fault-tolerance, and reliability, security and efficiency challenges compared with traditional hospital-based systems. Exploitation of Information and Communications Technologies as well as Networking and Sensors Technologies will enable cost-effective and efficient healthcare delivery, capable to deal with physical and logical mobility of patients and devices. The focus of this call is on theory and applications of Wireless Technologies towards the definition of the Next Generation Pervasive Healthcare. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited. Possible topics of interest include, but are certainly not limited to the following: * Wireless body area networks for remote healthcare monitoring * Energy efficient sensing and communication for pervasive healthcare * Reliable and fault-tolerant communications in pervasive healthcare * Network protocols design and analysis for pervasive healthcare * Data management and resource sharing for pervasive healthcare * Mobile, social, context-aware computing for pervasive healthcare * Integration of different wireless technologies for pervasive healthcare * Remote diagnosis and patient management for pervasive healthcare * Distributed multimedia services for pervasive healthcare * Emergency detection and response for pervasive healthcare * Trust, security, privacy, and QoS provisioning for pervasive healthcare * System architectures, applications & prototypes for pervasive healthcare DATES: Submission deadline: Sep. 15th, 2012 First round of review: Dec. 15th, 2012 Revision deadline: Feb. 15th , 2013 Author notification: Mar. 15th, 2013 Publication date: 2013 GUEST EDITORS: Giancarlo Fortino, Univ.

Continuing the great success of the previous events, WMCNT 2012 Workshop is anticipated to attract a large number of high-quality submissions and stimulate the cutting-edge research discussions among academic pioneering researchers/scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all around the world. Overview ======== Mobile computing and networking have inarguably emerged among the most vibrant areas in the field of telecommunications today. Customers’ requirement for immediate response to their prerequisites, targeting on access to information anywhere in the world at anytime, has increased the demand for productivity and effectiveness of mobile computing and networking. Moreover, the convergence of information communications technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological restrictions. Considering also the diversification of access technologies and their applications that prevail in the present telecommunication environment, amalgamated with the increased user mobility makes QoS provision a challenging issue. Future mobile communication networks offer a variety of high quality applications. Furthermore, several challenges are imposed by the demanding wireless networking environment, in terms of network architecture, channel estimation, propagation and especially radio resource management. The understanding of these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform spectrum allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns, the scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links and user mobility. The aim of the Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT 2012) is to provide an international venue for the discussion of architecture, design, implementation, analysis, measurement, performance and simulation in wireless, mobile and ubiquitous computing environments. WMCNT 2012 will serve as an open forum, where novel ideas will be exchanged via bringing together researchers, developers and engineers in both academia and industry.
