-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFPs, Special Issue on "Wireless Sensor Networks: From Theory to Practices and Applications" Datum: Tue, 6 Oct 2009 17:27:01 +0800 Von: Xiao Wendong <wxiao(a)i2r.a-star.edu.sg> An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> Call for Papers Journal of Control Theory and Applications (http://www.springer.com/computer/hardware/journal/11768 <http://www.springer.com/computer/hardware/journal/11768> ) Special Issue on Wireless Sensor Networks: From Theory to Practices and Applications Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is characterized by the dense deployment of sensor nodes that continuously observe physical phenomenon. The main advantages of WSN include its low cost, rapid deployment, self-organization, and fault tolerance. WSN has received tremendous interests of various research communities, and significant progresses have been made in various aspects including sensor platform development, wireless communication and networking, application signal and information processing, as well as network performance evaluation and design. Such work has established good foundation for WSN research and development. The research and development of WSNs are stimulated by novel exciting applications. For example, WSNs, particularly the wireless body sensor network, make the old people/patient healthcare monitoring possible in smart home environment, where advanced signal processing algorithms are required to extract medical parameters like heart beat rate from raw sensor measurements such as ECG signal, estimation algorithms are required for occupant location and motion tracking, and machine learning algorithms are required for occupant activity recognition. The indoor environment (e.g., temperature and humidity) can be monitored by ambient wireless sensor network, and help design highly efficient distributed air-conditioning control system to improve the energy efficiency and enhance occupant comfort. Such WSN applications must address a number of key technological challenges induced by limited network resources such as node energy and network bandwidth. As a result, the application algorithms should be resource constrained and the network protocols should be application-driven. Advanced closed-loop system can be expected as an integrated system solution to link the application algorithms and the lower layer networking protocols by means of control theoretic or optimization approaches. To be scalable and reliable, such algorithms and protocols should also be distributed in nature via node local processing and collaboration with limited information exchange to achieve complex overall network goal. This special issue is a follow-up of the previous special issue on Networked Sensing, Decision Making and Control in Journal of Control Theory and Applications organized by Lihua Xie and Frank L. Lewis, which received warm responses. Different from that special issue, which mainly addresses the theoretic approaches for WSNs and networked control systems challenged by network uncertainties and limited resources, this special issue will be more focused on novel real WSN applications and application-driven research and development. Papers with real practices on platform development, network deployment, and system operational lessons or experience are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * WSN theoretic approaches: - Distributed and collaborative signal processing - Target detection, classification, and tracking - Network modeling and optimization - Sensor tasking, control, and actuation - Coverage and topology control - Adaptive and mobile sampling - Consensus estimation and cooperation * WSN applications: - Healthcare monitoring - Environment monitoring - Surveillance system - Networked manufacturing system - Structural health monitoring; - Cognitive sensing and spectrum management - Military and battlefield applications All the submissions will be subject to peer review in accordance with the standard review procedures of the Journal of Control Theory and Applications.

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

HotMobile's small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. We solicit submissions of position papers that focus primarily on applications and systems and that propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the following topic areas, although papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome: * Operating system and distributed systems support for mobile computing * Coordination, aggregation, and spontaneous interaction of mobile devices * Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility * HCI issues related to mobile computing * Security and privacy of mobile computing * Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. HotMobile 2010 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop Presentation at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas that are a year or more from submission as a full conference paper to the ACM MobiSys conference or other high-quality conferences. Submitting a full-length paper on the same topic to MobiSys in less than a year is unlikely to involve a sufficient increment of work and maturity of ideas.To encourage an atmosphere conducive to participation, attendance will be limited to 70 participants. Authors of submitted papers and accepted demo proposals will be given first priority, with others able to register on a space-available basis. Important Dates Paper submission due: October 12, 2009 Acceptance notification: To be announced Revised papers due: To be announced Paper submissions are due by 23:59 PDST on Monday October 12, 2009.

[Tccc] CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Underwater Networks (WUnderNet), May 2010
by Hwee-Pink Tan 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

[Apologies for multiple postings] 2nd International Workshop on Underwater Networks (WUnderNet 2010) http://www1.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/~hptan/WUnderNet2010 In conjunction with IEEE ICC Capetown, South Africa, May 2010. More than 70% of the earth's surface is covered by water. Despite having strong influences and impact on climate regulation, nutrient production, oil retrieval and transportation, the oceans remain the least explored frontiers of this planet and many oceanic and maritime applications seem relatively slow in exploiting the state-of-the-art info-communications technologies. The natural and man-made disasters that have taken place over the last few years have aroused significant interest in monitoring oceanic environments for scientific, environmental, commercial, safety, homeland security and military needs. The shipbuilding and offshore engineering industries are also increasingly interested in technologies like sensor networks as an economically viable alternative to currently adopted and costly methods used in seismic monitoring, structural health monitoring, installation and mooring, etc. The technology used in current remote telemetry and in-situ local sensing systems leaves much to be desired. Ideally, there should be highly precise, real-time, fine grained spatial sampling of the target environment, be it a physical structure like an oil rig, or the ocean bed in the vicinity of frequent seismic activities. Wireless terrestrial ad hoc and sensor networks have been studied extensively but the notion of a wireless underwater network is relatively new due to the lack of an efficient underwater communications technology. The existing viable underwater communications technology is acoustic communications, which is characterized by severely limited range-dependent bandwidth and attenuation, extensive time-varying multipath propagation, long propagation times, and high temporal errors. This is a drastic change from the radio channel used by terrestrial wireless sensor networks and presents new challenges for every aspect of the network protocol suite. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and industry experts in areas relevant to underwater networks. Different aspects of the protocol stack from the physical layer to the application layer, as well as cross-layer issues, will be represented. The objective is to serve as a forum for presenting state-of-the-art research, exchanging ideas and experiences, and facilitating interaction and collaboration. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . Underwater network architecture design . Novel / Cognitive communications techniques . Cooperative communications . Acoustic signal propagation and physical layer issues (modulation, waveform, MIMO etc) . Delay-Tolerant Networking . Distributed Signal Processing . Network coding . Medium access control . Routing and data delivery . Reliability and robustness . Security Issues . Power management . New underwater energy sources . Localization and synchronization . Data fusion and aggregation . Cross layer Optimization . Performance modeling and simulations . New applications for underwater networks Committee Workshop General Chair Winston Seah, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand TPC Chairs Hwee-Pink Tan, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Jan Erik Hakegard, SINTEF, Norway TPC Members To be finalized. Manuscript Submission Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers by the deadline 15th November 2009 for publication in the IEEE ICC 2010 Conference Proceedings. 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).
