-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] DWSAN4CIP'09: Deadline 30/9 Datum: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:09:45 +0200 Von: Evgeny Osipov <Evgeny.Osipov(a)ltu.se> Organisation: LTU An: <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> (Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this e-mail.) CALL FOR PAPERS DWSAN4CIP 2009 International Workshop on Dependable Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks for Critical Infrastructure Protection http://www.wsan4cip.eu/dwsan4cip November 10, 2009, Madrid, Spain Organized by EU FP7 project WSAN4CIP OVERVIEW: It is hard to overestimate the role of ICT systems in operational cycles of modern industry and life supporting infrastructures. ICT control systems are used to continuously monitor the state of industrial processes and status of critical infrastructures. Over the last few years Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSAN) technology appeared as an ideal technological building block to improve the reliability and availability of ICTs in critical operational environments. On the other hand WSANs themselves become part of a critical infrastructures and processes. Whenever another layer of complexity is added to a system, this opens new possibilities for system failures, misuse or malicious attacks. The critical prerequisite for WSANs to be adopted in performance critical applications is their dependability, i.e. the ability of a system to deliver specified services to the user. It is, however, by far not trivial to make WSANs dependable for variety of applications in different operation environments and having different performance requirements. For DWSAN workshop we solicit original contributions aiming at achieving dependability of WSAN technology on different layers. Experiences from real-life deployment of dependable WSANs, application dependent WSAN design methodologies, dependable MAC, network and transport protocols, general issues of reliability, security in dependable WSANs are some of the key research topics to be discussed during the workshop. The goal of the workshop is to present high-quality results in the field, and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context, the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. Workshop Topics Topics of interest to DWSAN 2009 include (but are not limited to) the following: * Real life experience from deployment of wireless sensor networks in critical applications * Methodologies for assessment of performance requirements * Methodologies for systematic design of WSAN communication architecture * Application of control theory for cross-layer optimization of dependable communication protocols for WSAN * Dependable MAC protocols * Dependable routing protocols * Dependable transport protocols * Intelligent energy and QoS management * Fault tolerant middleware for WSANs * Operating systems for dependable WSANs * Security services Proceedings This year DWSAN4CIP offers only Fast Track publication in workshop proceedings. Authors are invited to submit their contributions as a two pages extended abstract in double column IEEE format. Up to 10 best contributions will be invited to submit full papers for publication in electronic workshop proceedings. Revised and extended versions of the most outstanding papers will be suggested for publication in the International Journal of Critical Infrastructure Protection (Elsevier). Important Dates Paper submission: September 30, 2009 Acceptance notification: October 15, 2009 Camera ready: October 30, 2009 _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-10) Datum: Wed, 09 Sep 2009 14:49:28 -0400 Von: Dr. Isaac Woungang <iwoungan(a)scs.ryerson.ca> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu ================================================================== Call for Papers The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Opportunistic Networking (WON-10) to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 24th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA-10), Perth, Australia, April 20-23, 2010 http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/WON10/ ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- With the explosive deployment of mobile wireless devices recently, Opportunistic Networking is becoming an increasingly popular area in networking research, in which the assumption of having end-to-end paths between the source and the destination is relaxed. Such networks fall into the fields of mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) and delay-tolerant networking (DTN).Opportunistic Networks enable user communication in an environment where disconnection and reconnection are common and link performance is extremely dynamic. They are very suitable to support the situation where network infrastructure has limited coverage and users have "islands of connectivity". By taking advantage of device mobility, information can be stored and forwarded over a wireless link when connection 'opportunities' arise (e.g. an appropriate network contact is met). In this view, traditional Internet connectivity can be considered as a special case of connection opportunity. With numerous emerging applications, Opportunistic Networks allow a huge number of devices to communicate end-to-end without requiring any pre-existing infrastructure and are very suitable to support pervasive networking scenarios. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Opportunistic Networking are solicited. Papers that bring out interesting and novel ideas at an early stage are favored over highly-polish journal-style results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Advanced technologies for enabling opportunistic communication * Architectures for opportunistic networks * Applications for opportunistic networks * Biological and social models for opportunistic communication * Middleware services in opportunistic networks * Dissemination and replication techniques for opportunistic networks * Network and resource management techniques for opportunistic networks * Trust and cooperation in opportunistic networks * Security issues in opportunistic networks * Transport and reliability issues in opportunistic networks * Routing issues in opportunistic networks * MAC layer issues and physical layer for opportunistic networks * Simulation and modeling of Opportunistic networks * Tools and techniques for designing, analyzing and building opportunistic networks * Opportunistic networks testbeds and measurements Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts the following website: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=won10 The manuscript should be written in English and follow IEEE two-column format with single-spaced, ten-point font in the text. The maximum manuscript length is six (6) pages including figures and references. All submitted papers will be refereed by reviewers in terms of correctness, originality, technical strength, significance and quality of presentation. The CD proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and available online through IEEE Xplore. Important Dates --------------- Paper Submission: Nov 01, 2009 Author Notification: Dec 01, 2009 Final Manuscript Due: Jan 15, 2010 Workshop Date: 20 April 2010 General Chair Kun-chan Lan, National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan Program Chair Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Isaac Woungang, Ryerson University, Canada Program Committee Members (To be determined) _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNet) http://www.inderscience.com/ijsnet Special Issue on: Multimedia Data Applications in Wireless sensor networks With recent technological advances in communication and computation, new Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications are growing. The emergence of low-energy and low-cost multimedia devices, such as microphones and cameras, has stimulated the development of the next generation WSN, known as Wireless Multimedia Sensor Network (WMSN). WMSNs have brought unprecedented potentials especially for applications requiring ubiquitous access to the multimedia contents, such as still images, audio and video streams. The extra sensor capacity and various requirements of multimedia objects in-network processing also pose new and unique challenges. The challenges are crucial about how to energy-efficiently query, process, transfer, and store voluminous multimedia objects since most of the multimedia sensors are operated under limited battery powers. Additionally, relatively slow advancements in battery technologies make the energy constrain the fast progress in WMSNs. This special issue will bring together those leading researchers and developers in fields of data and resource management, distributed storage techniques and energy efficiency to study the particular problems and challenges of wireless multimedia sensor networks. The purpose of the special session is therefore to foster communications between various communities including distributed database management communities, multimedia communication communities and sensor networks communities, and establish a common ground for advanced research and development in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. The published papers are expected to present high quality results on state-of-the-art algorithms, novel techniques and real applications associated with Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Multimedia in-network processing in WMSN * Distributed source coding in WMSN * Multimedia aggregation and fusion in WMSN * Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN 2. WMSN architectures and applications * Scalable and flexible WMSN architecture * WMSN design for supporting heterogeneous applications * Multimedia sensor coverage * Novel WMSN applications * Experimental studies of WMSN * WMSN modelling and performance analysis 3. Emerging WMSN technologies * Hardware platform * Physical layer technologies * Energy harvesting technologies 4. Effective and energy-efficient protocols for WMSN * Real-time and reliable multimedia streaming * Routing and medium access control * Topology control and synchronization protocols * Energy efficient traffic management * QoS provisioning protocols 5. Cross-layer design in WMSN * Joint multimedia processing and communication * Cooperative communication for multimedia delivery * Effective cross-layer communication protocols * Joint optimization for WMSN design 6. Data management for WMSN * In-network and distributed storage techniques for WMSN * Lightweight multimedia encoding techniques * Collaborative in-network processing * Energy-efficient DBMS for WMSN Manuscript due: Nov 28, 2009; Acceptance/rejection notification: March 31, 2010; Final manuscript due: Jun 31, 2010; Publication date: 4th Quarter of 2010.
