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 We are seeking original and previously unpublished research papers addressing theoretical and application issues in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless mobile networks.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 Modeling and performance evaluation Algorithms for localization and signal processing Implementation testbeds Operating systems and middleware Organisers Mieso Denko, University of Guelph, Canada Waltenegus Dargie, Technical University of Dresden, Germany Anup Kumar, University of Louisville, USA Important Dates Submission due: July 2, 2010 (Friday) Decision notification due: August 13, 2010 (Friday) Camera-ready and registration due: Aug 31, 2010 (Tuesday) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

All the papers will be peer-reviewed following the MMSJ reviewing procedures. ------------------------- *Summary* ------------------------- Recent years have witnessed the flourish of multimedia data on the Internet. To facilitate humans in accessing and managing the explosively growing multimedia content, extensive research efforts have been dedicated to automatic multimedia analysis and processing in the last decades, such as categorization, annotation and indexing. However, despite great advances in recent years, several key difficulties still exist, the most important of which is the semantic gap in multimedia modeling. It is evident from recent results that most of the semantic gap problems cannot be solved automatically within the near future and without additional information or resources. On the other hand, we have witnessed the power of collective human efforts in the Web 2.0 era in providing high-quality tags and comments to large amounts of images and videos in sites such as Flickr and YouTube. In fact, a lot more can be accomplished through simple online games such as the ESP. Hence, more and more researchers believe that a possible approach to addressing the semantic gap problem is to incorporate the efforts of humans into the computational process, i.e., by combining human intelligence and automated computer processing to jointly tackle the problems in a collaborative manner. The past decade has witnessed the increase of such efforts, such as relevance feedback in content-based image retrieval, active learning in multimedia modeling, the interactive video search evaluation task in TRECVID, new search and browsing interfaces in VideoOlympics to facilitate humans’ interaction, and the recent human computation efforts such as the ESP game on Google image search website. This special issue aims to bring together the range of research efforts in interactive multimedia computing. The goals of this special issue are threefold: (1) to introduce novel research work and systems in this area; (2) to survey the progress of this direction in the past years; and (3) to discuss new technologies that will be potentially impactful (primary results are needed). The submitted papers will be peer reviewed and selected based on their quality and relevance to the theme of this special issue. ------------------------- *Scope* ------------------------- The scope of this special issue is to cover all aspects that relate to interactive multimedia computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to * Interactive multimedia processing, including interactive image/video editing, image segmentation, video summarization, etc. * Interactive multimedia management, including semi-automatic multimedia categorization, clustering, browsing, dataset construction, etc. * Interactive multimedia search, including relevance feedback, query suggestion, image/video recommendation, novel search and browsing interface, etc. * Interactive multimedia modeling, including semi-automatic image/video concept learning and the related techniques such as active learning and on-line learning. * Multimedia tagging, including new tagging interface, tag recommendation, tag classification, tag filtering, etc. * Interactive multimedia knowledge mining, such as semi-automatic lexicon/ontology construction and user interests/trends/relationships mining. * Game-based multimedia applications, including game-based multimedia data collection, labeling, advertising, recommendation, etc. * CAPTCHA-based multimedia applications, including CAPTCHA-based multimedia data collection, labeling, etc. ------------------------- *Contacts* ------------------------- Please address all correspondences regarding this special issue to the Guest Editors Dr. Meng Wang (mengwang(a)microsoft.com <mailto:mengwang@microsoft.com>), Dr. Jinhui Tang (tangjh(a)comp.nus.edu.sg <mailto:tangjh@comp.nus.edu.sg>), Dr. Xian-Sheng Hua (xshua(a)microsoft.com <mailto:xshua@microsoft.com>) and Dr. Tat-Seng Chua (chuats(a)comp.nus.edu.sg <mailto:chuats@comp.nus.edu.sg>). ----------------------------- Best regards, Meng, Jinhui, Xian-Sheng and Tat-Seng

Accepted and presented papers will be included in the conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore. High quality accepted and presented papers will be indexed by EI. (pending) Cognitive radio is an emerging technology in wireless access, aimed at vastly improving the way radio spectrum is utilized. CRNet 2010 is devoted to the development of cognitive radio-based transmission and networking technologies in wireless communications. The workshop provides a forum for discussion of all these developments among engineers, scientists and researchers. The attribution of cognition in the wireless world is one of the most exciting areas in modern telecommunications. As an emerging technology in wireless access, cognitive radio is aimed at vastly improving the way radio spectrum is utilized. The motivation for cognitive radio stems from various measurements of spectrum utilization, which generally show that spectrum is under-utilized. This means that there are many "holes" in the radio spectrum that could be exploited by the secondary users. The secondary user must exploit these spectrum opportunities without causing harmful degradation to the primary system . The research challenges in this area include devising methods for efficient spectrum pooling and sensing, for capacity-approaching transmission scheme, for interference management and dynamic resource allocation, and for cross-layer design of protocols, as well as circuits and architectures meeting the often challenging requirements. The objective of this workshop is to bring together original, high-quality contributions that present new techniques, concepts and analyses in the area of cognitive radio algorithms and system design. Specific topics of the conference include (but not limited to): * Spectrum sensing and pooling * Network design and optimization * Resource management * Cross-layer design * Channel modeling and transmission scheme * Collaborative communications * Beamforming and multicast methods Important Dates Submission due: March 25, 2010 Notification date: May 25, 2010 Camera-ready due: June 15, 2010 Workshop dates: Aug 25, 2010 (tentative) General co-chair Jun Wang, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, P.R.

Such a network consists of many small sensor nodes with sensing, computing, communicating, and control capabilities. The wireless sensor networks have a broad spectrum applications ranging from wild life monitoring, battlefield surveillance, to border control and disaster relief, and have attracted significant interests from both academy and industry. A wireless sensor node generally has limited communication and computation capabilities, as well as severely-constrained power supplies, and the networks often operate in harsh unattended environments. Successful design and deployment of wireless sensor networks thus call for technology advances and integrations in diverse fields, including embedded hardware design, data processing, and wireless communications and networking across all layers. One of the key challenges in WSNs is to develop sustainable and scalable system that achieves longer network lifetime. Nodes capable of harvesting environmental energy have been designed and used in many WSN systems. The benefits of using rechargeable batteries by harvesting environmental energy to prolong sensor network lifetime have been well recognized. This special issue aims to summarize the latest development of hardware and software for WSNs, as well as deployment experiences. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: ? Novel transport, network, and MAC protocol design ? Smart in-network processing and control ? Disruption-tolerant/opportunistic mobile sensor networking ? Cross layer design and optimization, duty cycle management ? Channel and network modeling and performance evaluation ? Measurements and experience from experimental systems and test-beds ? New and novel methods for harvesting environment energy ? Hardware design ? Novel applications and architectures We solicit original unpublished research papers only. Papers previously published in conference/workshop proceedings can be considered, but should be substantially extended.
