Wireless ad-hoc communication has applications in a variety of environments, such as conferences, hospitals, battlefields and disaster-recovery/rescue operations, and is also being actively investigated as an alternative paradigm for Internet connectivity in both urban and rural areas. Wireless sensor and actuator networks are also being deployed for enhancing industrial control processes and supply-chains, and for various forms of environmental monitoring. The IEEE MASS 2011 aims at addressing advances in research on multi-hop ad-hoc and sensor networks, covering topics ranging from technology issues to applications and test-bed development. Please keep checking this web-space for more information and regular updates about MASS 2011. *Topics of interest:* Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in all aspects of (mobile) ad-hoc networks and wireless sensor networks (WSN), systems and applications. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Vehicular networks and protocols - Wireless mesh networks and cognitive networks - MAC layer design for ad-hoc networks and WSNs - MAC protocols (802.11, 802.15.4, UWB) - Multi-channel, multi-radio and MIMO technologies - Cross layer design and optimization - P2P, overlay, and content distribution architectures for ad-hoc and sensor networks - Delay tolerant networks and opportunistic networking - Power-aware architectures, algorithms and protocols design - Clustering, topology control, coverage and connectivity - Routing protocols (unicast, multicast, broadcast, geocast) - Data transport and management in WSNs - Data gathering, fusion, and dissemination in WSNs - Localization and synchronization in WSNs - Cooperative sensing in WSNs - Capacity planning and admission control in ad-hoc and sensor networks - Handoff / mobility management and seamless internetworking - Resource management and wireless QoS Provisioning - Key management, trust establishment in wireless networks - Security and privacy issues in ad hoc and sensor networks - Reliability, resiliency and fault tolerance techniques - Security, privacy issues in vehicular, DTNs, and mesh networks - Operating systems and middle-ware support - Novel applications and architectures for WSNs - Modeling, analysis and performance evaluation - Measurements and experience from experimental systems and test-beds *Submission guidelines:* All submissions must be full papers in PDF format and uploaded on EDAS.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Call for Papers for the 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (WiSARN 2011) Datum: Mon, 8 Nov 2010 19:09:45 +0000 Von: shanhg <shan_hg(a)hotmail.com> An: <tcpp-announce(a)cc.gatech.edu>, <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers for the 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Wireless Sensor, Actuator and Robot Networks (WiSARN 2011) http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/WiSARN2011/ To be held in conjunction with the The 30th IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications (IEEE INFOCOM 2011) April 10-15, 2011, Shanghai, China. Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSAN) are the confluence point where the traditional fields of wireless sensor networks (WSN), 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, WSAN 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 WSAN, WSN, robot networks, and robotics and automation. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Autonomous sensor networks * Emergent behavior in WSAN * Modeling and simulation of WSAN * WSAN architectural and operational models * Autonomic and self-organizing coordination and communication * Sensor-actor (robot) and actor-actor coordination * Energy-efficient and real-time communication protocols * Bandwidth-efficient and delay-tolerant communication protocols * Distributed control and management in WSAN * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management * Communication protocols for swarms of mobile actors (robots) * Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots * Actor (robot) task assignment * Biologically inspired communication * Ecological systems * Architectures and topology control * Localization in WSAN * Probabilistic integration in WSAN * Quality of service, security and robustness issues * Applications and prototypes * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Data management, gathering, aggregation and query processing Papers must not exceed 6 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages, and must be formated in strict accordance with the IEEE author guidelines. Submissions are being considered with the understanding that they describe original research, neither published nor under review elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library after the conference and included in INFOCOM 2012 proceedings. Selected best papers will be invited to a special issue of Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networks: an international journal (SCIE). Important dates Paper submission: Dec. 15, 2010 Author notification: Feb. 15, 2011 Camera ready: Mar. 15, 2011 Workshop date: Apr. 10, 2011 General Chair Ivan Stojmenovic, University of Ottawa, Canada Program Co-Chairs Jiming Chen, Zhejiang University, China Hannes Frey, Univerity of Paderburn, Germany Xu Li, University of Ottawa, Canada Submission Chair Rafael Falcon, University of Ottawa, CA Publicity Co-Chairs Cailian Chen, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China Mianxiong Dong, University of Aizu, Japan Hangguan Shan, University of Waterloo, Canada For further information, please refer to the above WiSARN 2011 website, or contact the program co-chairs: Dr. Jiming Chen at jmchen.zju(a)gmail.com Dr. Hannes Frey at hannes.frey(a)uni-paderborn.de Dr. Xu Li at easylix(a)gmail.com _______________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
