While WSNs have been a subject of intensive research for about a decade, most research activities to date focus on sensor nodes that are deployed in static, pre-determined locations with sensor readings taken at regular intervals and with packet forwarding that take place in multiple hops to sinks where storage and analysis takes place. The next step for sensor networks is to handle mobility in all possible forms. Thus we need to consider the mobility of sinks, mobility of sensors and of actuators as well as the mobility of the applications and their software. This extension towards represents a recent research subject in sensor networking that opens up a new research opportunities and challenges, and significantly expands the types of applications for which WSNs can be used. This Special Issue therefore aims at identifying the benefits and challenges raised by mobility in WSNs, addressing the state of the art and advances in this particularly promising research area. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Sink mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Actuator networks - Mobile sensor-actuator networks - Code mobility in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobile agent-based data aggregation in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility issues in underwater Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility-assisted communication in Wireless Sensor Networks - Topology coverage and connectivity maintenance in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobility management in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility for maximizing network lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks - Mobility models for sinks and actuators in Wireless Sensor Networks - MAC protocols and QoS provisioning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Routing protocols for handling mobility - Distributed algorithms and reasoning in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Data aggregation, fusion and dissemination techniques in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Synchronization and scheduling issues in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Security, trust and privacy in Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Mobile GeoSensor Networks - Simulation, evaluation and validation of Wireless Sensor Networks with mobile elements - Applications, testbeds and deployment experiences Submission: Submitted papers must be written in grammatically correct English and should describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CfP: IEEE WiVEC 2011 || Sept. 5-6, 2011 - San Francisco Datum: Fri, 26 Nov 2010 08:49:56 -0800 Von: Yaser P. Fallah <yaserpf(a)berkeley.edu> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4th IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications IEEE WiVEC’2011 Sep. 5-6 2011, Hilton Hotel, San Francisco, USA http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2011/ Sponsored by the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wireless vehicular communications has been identified as a key technology for increasing road safety and transport efficiency, and providing Internet access on the move to ensure wireless ubiquitous connectivity. The potential of this technology has been acknowledged with the establishment of ambitious research programs worldwide in Europe, US and Asia. The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) currently covers through its areas of interest (Mobile Radio, Transportation Systems and Automotive Electronics) all technical aspects needed to make wireless vehicular communications a reality. As a result, the IEEE VTS society decided to establish a technical symposium on wireless vehicular communications co-located with the reputed IEEE VTC conferences. The IEEE International Symposium on Wireless Vehicular Communications (WiVEC) will cover all vehicular wireless communications aspects of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V), Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Person (V2P) communications, including implications on transport efficiency and safety, implications on automotive electronics, liability issues, standardizations efforts and spectrum assignment. After the past successful WiVEC editions in 2007, 2008, and 2010, the fourth IEEE WiVEC symposium will be co-located with the 74th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference 2011 Fall, and will take place at the Hilton Hotel in San Francisco on the 5th and 6th of September 2011. Combined registrations packages will be offered for WiVEC and VTC events. All accepted papers (full length and demo papers) will be included in the VTC 2011-Fall conference proceedings and will be published on the IEEE Xplore database. Note: VTC Fall editions are traditionally located in North America, while VTC Spring is located in other areas of the world. Since WiVEC was originally launched co-located with VTC Fall editions, the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society decided that WiVEC would take place every year and a half in order to ensure that the conference is alternatively co-located with VTC Fall and Spring editions. This resulted in that there was no WiVEC edition in 2009. Topics of Interest ------------------ The WiVEC Symposium seeks original papers - not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal - in the area of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle-to-person (V2P) wireless communications. Vehicular communication areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * RF technologies, antenna design, physical layer and propagation models * Radio resource management and interference management * Spectrum assignment and EMC regulations * Vehicular Networking Architectures * Networking protocols (including ad-hoc communication, routing, geocasting, etc.) and their evaluation * Data aggregation and dissemination strategies * Simulation of Vehicular Communication Systems * Scalability issues in vehicular networks. * QoS and cross-layer optimization design * Security, liability and privacy * Testbeds, testing support, and field testing results * Interworking with sensor network technologies * In-car electronics and embedded integration of wireless vehicular communications * Roadside infrastructure * Mobility management, mobility and vehicle traffic models * Digital maps and location technologies * Human-Machine Interface * Applications (eCall, eTolling, traffic information systems, safety applications, wireless diagnosis, etc.) * Standards development, business models, policies * Assessment of impact on transport efficiency and safety Submissions ----------- Authors are encouraged to submit full length papers (maximum 5 pages) or demo papers (maximum 2 pages) following the submission guidelines provided at http://www.ieeevtc.org/wivec2011/ Submission website: http://wivec2011.trackchair.com Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library.

Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: International Workshop on Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: International Workshop on Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS) Von: "Kemal Akkaya" <kemal(a)cs.siu.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: ************************************************************************* International Workshop on Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS) in conjunction with The International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2011) July 5-8, 2011 Bahcesehir University, Istanbul, Turkey ************************************************************************* Call for Papers --------------- Wireless sensor networks (WSN) can eliminate/reduce human intervention and provide fully-automated data gathering systems for numerous applications. However, WSNs may operate in inhospitable environments and become prone to sensor failures which not only can degrade the quality of coverage but also disrupt the data traffic. To address such a problem, most approaches in the literature deploy redundant nodes during network setup and reconfigure the network topology to establish alternate data paths. However, sometimes the network suffers a large scale damage that involves many nodes and would thus create multiple disjoint partitions. For these cases, a provisioned approach for tolerating occasional failures at the network design level will not be effective. A similar scenario happens when an application can be leveraged by engaging a number of standalone WSNs. For example, the disaster response may involve collaboration among multiple governmental agencies and may need to combine the services of their autonomously-operating WSNs in the search-and-rescue process. Connecting such multiple WSNs or partitions of a damaged WSN is referred to as federation and these networks are called Federated Wireless Sensor Systems (FedSenS). The purpose of this workshop is to establish a platform to exchange ideas among researchers for creation, operation and management of FedSenS involving various heterogeneous sensor and gateway nodes. Topics of Interest Original, unpublished and unsubmitted work is sought in terms of algorithms, techniques, architectures, position papers, visionary approaches and modeling to deploy and maintain FedSenS. The workshop program invites papers on various aspects of the FedSenS including, but not limited to, the following: Self-federation using existing resources and node mobility Federation through relay node placement Distributed technique for detecting network partitioning Area coverage and network connectivity trade-offs Service oriented federation models Delay-constrained reliable data communication in FedSenS Topology control for improved QoS (i.e., delay or reliability) Sensor data correlation and fusion in FedSenS Reliable federated storage and querying of sensor data Handling uncertainties through federation Interoperability issues Security and privacy issues in data sharing Military and civilian security applications for FedSenS Performance evaluation and testbeds for FedSenS Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: Dec. 15th, 2010 Notification of Acceptance: March 15th, 2011 Registration & Camera-Ready Paper Due: April 1st, 2011 Submission Instructions Please submit papers electronically (as PDF files) using EDAS: http://edas.info/N9425 Submitted papers must not exceed 6 pages with 10pt or larger font size in standard IEEE Transactions double-column format including text, figures and references, templates: http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/authors/authors_jou… Please use US letter (8.5 x 11 inches) page size.
