-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: Workshop on on Real-Time Wireless Networking for Industrial Applications (RealWiN 2012) Datum: Tue, 06 Dec 2011 11:27:22 +0100 Von: James Gross <gross(a)umic.rwth-aachen.de> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu Kopie (CC): James Gross <gross(a)umic.rwth-aachen.de> We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ######################################################## Call for Papers Workshop onReal-Time Wireless Networking for Industrial Applications -> RealWiN 2012 <- http://www.performance.rwth-aachen.de/realwin April 16th 2012, Beijing, China as part of CPS Week 2012 Submission Deadline: January 9th 2012 #### Scope: ########## During the last 20 years the development of wireless networks has been driven mainly by the demand for more bandwidth. This demand has been necessitated by the human desire for information and communication. Hence, wireless networks have been designed to serve mainly Internet best-effort traffic as well as delay-sensitive voice and video applications. Besides this, we have also witnessed research into new network paradigms like Mobile Ad hoc Networks and Wireless Mesh Networks which serve the same types of traffic in general. Recently, the vision of an Internet of Things has become more and more a reality. Wireless sensor networks and Machine-to-Machine networking connect resource-constrained and likely battery-powered devices such as sensors and actuators with each other and with control units. For example, recent years have witnessed the adoption of wireless sensor-actuator networks as a communication infrastructure for industrial applications such as process monitoring and control. Open industrial standards such as WirelessHART have shown promise through commercial products and system deployments in real-world industrial environments.However, industrial and process control have substantially more stringent requirements in terms of reliability, real-time, security and networked control performance than even time-critical best-effort applications like Voice-Over-IP have. This workshop will provide an open forum for academic and industrial researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in this important area. The focus is on 'soft' real time requirements as well as on 'hard' real-time requirements potentially with very low latencies. The workshop cross-cuts the diverse areas associated with CPS Week including real-time systems (RTAS), wireless sensor networks (IPSN), control (HSCC), and the integration of them in cyber-physical systems (ICCPS). We are also soliciting contributions form industrial partners highlighting case studies, measurements, experiences from applications etc. In particular, the following topics are of interest (not limiting other contributions in the considered direction): * Physical layer design * Medium access control and interference management * Real-time scheduling algorithms and analysis * Routing and transport for guaranteed delay networking * Theoretical bounds, performance models and evaluation * Prototypes/ testbeds and implementation aspects of real-time operation * Application scenarios and requirements * Challenges, vision and architecture for real-time wireless networks * Software stacks for hard real-time wireless networking * Fault-tolerance and redundancy issues * Control over wireless sensor-actuator networks * Control and wireless network co-design for cyber-physical systems * Case studies, measurements and experiences from industrial deployments #### Dates: ########## Paper submission deadline: January 9th, 2012 Notification: February 13th, 2012 Camera-Ready Version: February 29th, 2012 #### Submissions and Review Process: ########## We solicit novel, unpublished papers on all technical areas as described above. Each submitted paper has a strict page length of eight, double-column, single-spaced pages following the IEEE conference style. Papers should be submitted as PDF via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=realwin2012 Papers will be reviewed based on novelty, quality and scope. The review process contains three reviews per paper plus some internal TPC discussion. Final decisions will be announced afterwards via email. #### Program Committee: ################## * Björn Andersson, Carnegie Mellon University, USA * Michael Bahr, Siemens CT, Germany * Christian Bettstetter, University of Klagenfurth, Austria * James Gross, RWTH Aachen Universit, Germany * Kimmo Kansanen, NTNU Trondheim, Norway * Holger Karl, University of Paderborn, Germany * Rolf Kraemer, Technical University of Cottbus, Germany * Enzo Mingozzi, University of Pisa, Italy * Thiemo Voigt, SICS, Sweden * Andreas Willig, University of Canterbury, New Zealand * Marco Zuniga, University of Duisburg, Germany -- James Gross Assistant Professor UMIC Research Centre RWTH Aachen University Germany Email:gross@umic.rwth-aachen.de Phone: +49-241-8020741 www.umic.rwth-aachen.de/performance -- _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), robot networks and control theory meet. In WSAN, nodes collaborate to accomplish distributed sensing and actuation tasks. Leveraged by the control and mobility of actors, the networking process and applications embrace a whole new set of possibilities. Actors may deploy, repair and relocate sensors to improve coverage, build routes and fix network partition to ensure data communication, change network topology to shape routing patterns and balance energy consumption, and respond to reported events in a timely and effective manner. The benefits are limited only by imagination. As an emerging field, WSANs are in need of new networking techniques, by which they can fully exploit their particularities and potentials. WiSARN aims to bring together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification and implementation of architectures, algorithms and protocols for current and future applications of WSAN. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in ALL aspects of WSANs, WSNs, robot networks, and robotics and automation.

I hope the late announcement of this extension has not caused inconvenience. Cheers, Lachlan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- 1st IEEE INFOCOM Workshop on Communications and Control for Sustainable Energy Systems: Green Networking and Smart Grids http://csl.illinois.edu/smart-grid Call for papers: As concerns about climate change, rising fossil fuel prices and energy security increase, companies and governments around the world are committing great efforts toward developing new technologies for green strategies lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and reducing total energy consumption. For these efforts to be sustainable, the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector must overcome a number of challenges, such as: reducing the life-cycle resource consumption of the exploding market in mobile devices; using as little electricity from non-renewable sources as possible; improving efficiency of the individual devices; and managing complex interconnected systems, communication products and services. Conversely, the ICT can improve the sustainability of activities in the physical world and lower GHG emissions in other industries, notably electric power generation and distribution. Advanced communications and networking technologies are expected to play a vital role in future power systems and smart grid infrastructures. They will provide a two-way information flow to enable more efficient monitoring, control, and optimization of different grid functionalities, including two-way energy flow between smart power devices. The Workshop on Communications and Control for Sustainable Energy Systems: Green Networking and Smart Grids is intended to provide a forum for discussion on all these most recent developments and bring together industry and academia, engineers and researchers. The workshop is in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2012 conference (http://www.ieee-infocom.org/) and it is organized in two tracks: one focused on Designing Sustainable ICT, and the other one devoted to Smart Grid Systems. While the two tracks have different foci and have separate program committees (but a common steering committee), the workshop will provide a unique occasion for two communities with complementary interests and common goals to meet and share ideas and visions.

The capabilities of actor nodes include enhanced processing ability, powerful wireless transmission, large battery and mobility. Actor nodes can leverage their capabilities to facilitate better coverage, connectivity and energy efficient operation. Such capabilities offer unprecedented opportunities to serve a diverse range of applications. For instance, actors with mobility can be used to mend a partitioned network, set up new routes, facilitate energy efficient data collection and improve sensor coverage. Similarly, the some sensor nodes may also be equipped with actuation capability called actuators that perform actions to change the behaviour of environment or the physical system. Embedding actuation in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) opens a realm of opportunities for Wireless Sensor Actuator Network (WSAN) industrial applications requiring monitoring and control. While significant research progress have been made in networking and communication aspects of WSNs, new design paradigms are required for wireless sensor actor and actuator networks (WiSAANs). In particular new ideas are required to address the challenges resulting from introducing actors and actuators in the network. This workshop aims to bring the state-of-art research contributions in theory, design and implementation of communication protocols for WiSAANs. Another key objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers from academia and industry to present their work and share their views. We expect the workshop to act as a leading forum for the WSN research community to discuss their ideas on addressing the most current challenges, potential solutions and future developments of WiSAANs. We encourage contributions describing original work in the realm of data collection, architecture, algorithms, communication protocols and implementations of WSANs. Topics of interest include but not limited to: - Architectural models for WiSAANs - Algorithms and communication protocols for WiSAANs - Service model for WiSAANs - Sensor-actor and sensor-actuator co-ordination - QoS models for WiSAANs - Energy efficient protocols for WiSAANs - Integration of real-time protocols with WiSAAN - Time modeling and synchronization in WiSAANs - WiSAAN current and future applications and implementations - Data processing and management in WiSAANs - Medium access protocols for WiSAANs - Routing Protocols for WiSAANs - Data gathering and data fusion models for improving real-time performance in WiSAANs ----------------- Important Dates ----------------- Submission deadline: 20 December 2011 (Extended Deadline) Authors Notification: 10 February 2012 Final Manuscript: 31 March 2012 Workshop Date: June 10 -15 2012 --------------- General Chairs --------------- Prof. Ivan Stojmenović, SITE, University of Ottawa, Canada Prof. Zabih Ghassemlooy, CEIS, Northumbria University, UK -------------------- Workshop Organizers -------------------- Dr. Ramiro Liscano, UoIT, Canada, Dr. Nauman Aslam, Northumbria University, UK _____________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
