-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: PWSN 2012 - May 18, 2012 Hangzhou, China (in conjunction with DCOSS 2012) Datum: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:24:03 +0200 Von: Vasos Vassiliou <vasosv(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ========================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS PWSN 2012 4th International Workshop on Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks http://www.netrl.cs.ucy.ac.cy/pwsn2012/ May 18 2012, Hangzhou, China In conjunction with the 8th IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing in Sensor Systems (DCOSS '12) ========================================================================= Important dates: ----------------------- Paper Submission deadline: March 10, 2012 Acceptance Notification: April 5, 2012 Camera Ready Paper: April 20, 2012 Workshop date: May 18, 2012 Scope -------- Wireless sensor networks are currently the subject of intense research and many prototype installations are currently investigated. However, most of the existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. In contrast, many envisioned future application areas of wireless sensor networks (such as plant automation and control, traffic management, medical applications, emergency solutions) require immediate and guaranteed actions. In such environments, data has to be transported reliably and in time through the sensor network towards the end user. To make the networking task more complex, in many applications the end user or the controlling intelligence is located remotely (e.g., remote monitoring, supervision and surveillance applications), and the wireless sensor network interworks with other networks (e.g., fixed infrastructure cellular, Internet). Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols, it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor network with performance guarantees. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. The PWSN workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. The workshop intends to examine research challenges associated with achieving dependability in WSNs, share experiences from real-life deployment of dependable sensor networks, discuss application-dependent wireless sensor-actuator design methodologies, illustrate dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, and in general, explore issues of reliability in WSNs. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: -------------------------------------------------- * Architectures: real-time systems, critical network architectures * Applications: Critical applications, application requirements, novel applications and real-world deployments * Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models of network performance * MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption. * Routing and topology control: Methods to control network topology, services for time, location, and power management, topology robustness, reliability and fault tolerance * Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability, methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks, data storage, retrieval, and processing. * Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of sensor network operating systems. * Middleware: Middleware/frameworks providing performance guarantees for sensor network applications. * Security: System security and data integrity methods, Impact of security features on network performance. Paper Submission ------------------------- Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published.

SUMMARY ======= ICWCUCA 2012 (International Conference on Wireless Communications in Unusual and Confined Areas) is the third of a series of events focusing on wireless communications in harsh environments (such as confined areas, underground tunnels, inside industrial buildings or vehicles). ICWCUCA is a forum for academic researchers, professionals and industrial specialists that are interested in innovative applications or field trials related to telecommunications in such confined areas. ICWCUCA was originally dedicated to wireless communications in confined environments for industrial mining applications. This year, the conference addresses a broader spectrum including unusual environments, wireless sensor network applications, and wireless network applications. An unusual environment refers to an environment that can be hazardous, costly or hard to reach. Such an environment can have experienced a natural or industrial disaster, or can be a remote natural area. It is subject to specific propagation conditions (as it is the case in mine galleries or inside the human body). In these conditions, network solutions have to be self-powered, robust against node losses, deployed quickly, and they have to provide a service during a long period (usually expressed in years). Thus, research on wireless sensor networks is a topic for ICWCUCA. Communication protocols that have limited energy consumption, that are resistant to losses and that can satisfy the application temporal constraints, on a peculiar physical medium, are the main expected contributions. SCOPE ===== This year, the topics include, but are not limited to: - Propagation and Medium Characterization, - Modulation and Signal, - Antenna, - Wireless Sensor Network, - Communications for Mine Applications, - Applications of WLAN and WPAN, - Modeling, Simulation, Tests, - Intra-Vehicular and Inter-Vehicular Communications, - Communications between Life-Monitoring Devices. PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================ All submissions should be written in English, with a paper length between 4 and 6 pages (including figures and tables). Manuscripts should be prepared with A4 paper size, 10-point font, and two columns. Submissions have to comply with standard IEEE conference templates for LaTeX or Microsoft Word (check the website for templates). Full papers will appear on IEEE Xplore.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE SenseApp 2012 (Clearwater, Florida, 22-25 October 2012) Datum: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 10:43:42 +0100 Von: Matthias Hollick <matthias.hollick(a)seemoo.tu-darmstadt.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Apologies for cross-posting; submission deadline: May 12, 2012 Call for Papers: *Seventh IEEE International Workshop on Practical Issues in Building Sensor Network Applications (IEEE SenseApp 2012)* http://www.senseapp.org in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2012 22-25 October 2012 Sheraton Sand Key Resort, Clearwater, Florida, USA Sensor nodes are autonomous devices that combine sensing, computing and wireless communication capabilities. These nodes are deeply embedded into the physical surroundings, and gather and process information such as temperature, humidity, light characteristics, seismic activities or images and sound samples from the physical world. Networked systems of such sensors are expected to be used in a variety of applications including habitat monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster recovery operations, healthcare and supply chain management. Real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce, yet prototypic implementations are getting more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for extending dedicated sensor networks. Experiences gained in such deployments are crucial for the sensor network research community. These results are needed to refine assumptions made when designing hardware, software, protocols and mechanisms for sensor networks. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. We expect the workshop to act as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. *Scope* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications - Innovative sensor network applications - Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments - Middleware support for sensor networks - Programming and debugging sensor networks - Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks - Experiences with new sensor hardware - Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization - Experiences with communication protocols - Practical medium access control protocols (MACs) - Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments - Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks - Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation - Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime - Configuration and installation support - Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns - Interconnection between IP and sensor networks - Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices - Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Explore Digital Library. *Submission Instructions* Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ICCCN 2012 - Wireless LAN, Ad Hoc and Mesh Networks (LAMN) Datum: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 09:49:48 +0100 Von: Matthias Hollick <matthias.hollick(a)seemoo.tu-darmstadt.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu [ apologies for cross posting ] Call for Papers - Deadline Feb 24, 2012 ICCCN 2012 – Track on *Wireless LAN, Ad Hoc and Mesh Networks (LAMN)* http://www.icccn.org/icccn12/tracks/LAMN.html Wireless networks have crossed the chasm. Popular technologies such the IEEE 802.11 were the catalyst for the widespread use of wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Nomadic computing, home networks, and Wi- Fi services are now common place. The transition to multi-hop wireless networks has seemed natural for quite some time now, but has yet to happen. Nonetheless, wireless networks have become important to a range of applications and systems. Numerous research efforts contributed systems and protocols for that purpose and lead to new, lower cost equipment, products, and services. At the same time, impromptu and on-demand formation of networks, often ephemeral, volatile, or highly mobile, got increased attention in the community, resulting in a large volume of novel schemes to basically revise networking. The increasing capabilities and the proliferation of wireless devices, and the increasing needs of their users raise new technical challenges. To address those, both theoretical and systems approaches are invaluable. In this ICCCN track, we invite submissions of works with novel contributions of either type. We are primarily interested in submissions of papers concerned with: • Wireless local area networks • Wireless mesh networks • Mobile ad hoc networks • Vehicular ad hoc networks • Opportunistic and delay tolerant networks Track Topics • Algorithms and fundamental limits • Protocols for medium access control, route discovery, data transmission, transport, synchronization, localization, etc. • Modeling and performance evaluation • Experimentation, measurements, and test-beds • Applications, software, and tools • Cross-layer design and enhancements • Security and privacy • Architectures, including the integration of wireless ad hoc and infrastructure networks • Deployment challenges, methods, and experiences • User-centric systems, including mobile social networks • Mobile platforms, such as smartphones • Energy efficient design ********** Committees ********** Track Chairs: • Matthias Hollick, TU Darmstadt, Germany • Panagiotis (Panos) Papadimitratos, KTH, Sweden Track Technical Program Committee: • Tarek Abdelzaher, University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, USA • Venkataramana Badarla, Indian Institute of Technology Rajasthan, India • Nilanjan Banerjee, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, USA • Stefano Basagni, Northeastern University, USA • Giuseppe Bianchi, University of Rome "Tor Vergata", Italy • Fernando Boavida, University of Coimbra, Portugal • Luciano Bononi, University of Bologna, Italy • Raffaele Bruno, IIT-CNR, Italy • Lukasz Budzisz, Technical University of Berlin, Germany • Claudio Casetti, Politecnico di Torino, Italy • Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini, Politecnico di Torino, Italy • Jeong-woo Cho, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden • Jing Deng, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA • Marco Fiore, INSA Lyon, France • J.J.
