Sandra Sendra <sandra.sendra.upv(a)gmail.com> schrieb: Apologies for crossposting -------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------- Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms (SCPA 2011) December 5-9, 2011, Huston, Texas (USA) In conjunction with Globecom 2011 http://scpa.it.ubi.pt/ Selected papers will be invited to the Special Issue on Smart Protocols and Algorithms of the International Journal Network Protocols and Algorithms (ISSN 1943-3581) Communication protocols and algorithms are needed to communicate network devices and exchange data between them. The appearance of new technologies usually comes with a protocol procedure and communication rules that allows data communication while taking profit of this new technology. Recent advances in hardware and communication mediums allow proposing new rules, conventions and data structures which could be used by network devices to communicate across the network. Moreover, devices with higher processing capacity let us include more complex algorithms that can be used by the network device to enhance the communication procedure. Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and techniques (such as machine learning techniques, decision making techniques, knowledge representation, network management, network optimization, problem solution techniques, and so on), to communicate the network devices to transfer data between them. They can be used to perceive the network conditions, or the user behavior, in order to dynamically plan, adapt, decide, take the appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences of its actions. The algorithms can make use of the information gathered from the protocol in order to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, take consciousness of what is happening in the environment, and take the appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals such as decide which scenario fits best its end-to-end purpose, or environment prediction, can be achieved with smart protocols and algorithms. Moreover, they could learn from the past and ! use this knowledge to improve futur e decisions. In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on the design, development, analysis or optimization of smart communication protocols or algorithms at any communication layer. Algorithms and protocols based on artificial intelligence techniques for network management, network monitoring, quality of service enhancement, performance optimization and network secure are included in the workshop. We welcome technical papers presenting analytical research, simulations, practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, and papers addressing the key problems and solutions.

Soon, it was realized that this network organization leads to rapid energy exhaustion of sensors around the base station since these nodes should relay all the traffic destined for the base station. In addition, the passive nature of static sensors which can only sense and are unable to move is not always helpful in target-tracking scenarios or in cases where real-time action is necessary for handling emergency situations. Apparently, a reactive (dynamic) behavior from these networks would be effective for dealing with a number of changing operational conditions (e.g. node failures, energy exhaustion in some nodes) or with real-time events. This Special Issue will focus on all forms of reactive behavior that can be incorporated in the functionality of a Wireless Sensor Network and will also identify new possibilities, opportunities and challenges deriving from this new paradigm. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks - Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile sensors - Re-tasking in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent based solutions in Wireless Sensor Networks - Node redeployment techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks for improved connectivity and/or coverage - Re-clustering techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks - Dynamic MAC and routing protocols in Wireless Sensor Networks for increased network lifetime - Reactive methods in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Reactive methods for target tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks - Dynamic techniques for data aggregation/fusion in Wireless Sensor Networks - Security, trust and privacy in Reactive Sensor Networks Tentative Schedule Manuscript submission deadline: November 30, 2011 First Notification: March 10, 2012 Submission of revised paper: April 20, 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 31, 2012 Guest Editors Dr. Charalampos Konstantopoulos Department of Informatics University of Piraeus, Greece (konstant(a)unipi.gr) Prof. Paolo Bellavista Dipartimento di Informatica, Elettronica e Sistemistica Universita di Bologna, Italy (paolo.bellavista(a)unibo.it) Prof. Damla Turgut Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of Central Florida, USA (turgut(a)cs.ucf.edu) Prof. Chi-Fu Huang Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering National Chung Cheng University, Taiwan (cfhuang(a)cs.ccu.edu.tw) Instructions for submission: The submission website for this journal is located 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: Reactive WSN" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [GC Workshop-HeterWMN] IEEE 6th International Workshop on Heterogeneous, Multi-Hop, Wireless and Mobile Networks Datum: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 19:25:08 +0200 Von: Alexandre Guitton <alexandre.guitton(a)univ-bpclermont.fr> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ******************* * CALL FOR PAPERS * ******************* HeterWMN 2011: IEEE 6th International Workshop on Heterogeneous, Multi-Hop, Wireless and Mobile Networks Houston, Texas, United States of America, December 5 To be held in conjunction with IEEE Globecom 2011 Website: http://irit.fr/HeterWMN2011/ Submission deadline: July 7, 2011 Submission link: http:/edas.info/N10897 SUMMARY ======= The traditional centralized wireless and mobile networks are mainly based on single-hop architecture and rely on fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points. The proliferation and deployment of radio access networks such as Wireless WANs, Wireless LANs, Wireless PANs, ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor networks with distinguishing characteristics of data rate, coverage range, power, mobility, and prices will clearly lead to a need for seamless and ubiquitous access across these various networks. Such an integrated heterogeneous environment enables a user to access a particular network depending upon the application needs and the types of radio access networks (RANs) available. The heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks, on the other hand, provide unlimited mobility and greater flexibility but introduce a number of challenges due to dynamic network topology. The design of efficient and scalable protocols for existing multi-hop wireless and mobile networks such as wireless and mobile ad hoc networks continue to pose challenges at all the layers of networking stack. Therefore, it is necessary to aim at heterogeneous architectures and services that together provide seamless integration of single-hop as well as multi-hop mobile ad hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research community in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the latest research and future research directions in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless and mobile networks. We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks. SCOPE ===== Topics related to heterogeneous, multi-hop, wireless and mobile networks in the areas of: - Multi-hop architectures and protocols for resource management - Quality of services (QoS) delivery - Seamless Mobility - Robust and scalable routing protocols - MAC protocols supporting mobility and vertical handover - Self-configuration and synchronization - Security - Topology control and management - Mobility models and location management - Cross-layer design and interactions - Cohabitation of wireless protocols - Software-defined radios - Modeling and performance evaluation - Algorithms for localization and signal processing - Implementation testbeds - Operating systems and middleware - Energy-efficient protocols PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================ All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of five (5) printed pages (10-point font) including figures without incurring additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with overlength page charge if accepted). Note that the maximum number of pages for a paper is 6; 5 pages plus 1 additional page allowed with a charge for the one additional page of USD100 if accepted.
