[Tccc] Call for Papers: LOCAN 2009 (Submission Deadline September 01, 2009)
by Hannes Frey 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

----------------------------------------------------------------------- Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS LOCAN 2009 The 5th International Workshop on Localized Communication and Topology Protocols for Ad hoc Networks http://www.site.uottawa.ca/~xuli/locan2009 In conjunction with MSN, 14-16, Dec. 2009 Wu Yi Mountain, China Subject and Purpose of the Workshop ----------------------------------- This workshop covers comprehensively the algorithmic issues in the hot area of ad hoc and sensor networking. In particular, sensor networks are currently recognized as one of the priority research areas and research activities are booming recently. The workshop scope includes network layer problems like data communication (routing, QoS-routing, geocasting, multicasting, broadcasting, etc.) and topology control (neighbor discovery, power adjustment, neighbor elimination, etc.). The main paradigm shift is to apply localized (or greedy) schemes as opposed to existing protocols requiring global information. Localized algorithms are distributed algorithms where simple local node behavior achieves a desired global objective. Localized protocols provide scalable solutions, that is, solutions for wireless networks with an arbitrary number of nodes, which is the main goal of this plan. Sensor and rooftop/mesh networks, for instance, have hundreds or thousands of nodes. The objective of the workshop is to present state of the art research results on data communication and topology control in rapidly growing area of ad hoc and sensor networks, with emphasizes on localized techniques Topics of Interest ------------------ We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions addressing various aspects of ad hoc networking. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Medium access control for ad hoc networks * Analytical, mobility and validation models for ad hoc networks * Hybrid networks and wireless Internet * Security in ad hoc networks * Data management, query processing, and data delivery in sensor networks * Unicast routing, multicasting, and broadcasting in ad hoc networks * Geocasting and anycasting in ad hoc networks * Energy-efficient and bandwidth-efficient protocols for ad hoc networks * Quality of service in medium access control and routing * Topology construction and maintenance in ad hoc networks * Neighborhood discovery and mobility management in ad hoc networks * Localized protocols for duty-cycled sensor networks * Auto-configuration and network formation protocols and algorithms * Relative positioning algorithms * Lower bounds on information exchange required for localized solutions * Network graph properties supporting localized protocols * Worst and average case analysis on the deviation from optimal solutions Submissions ----------- Papers must not exceed 8 single-spaced and two-column pages using at least 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inches pages. See style files, author guidelines and instructions at the conference website. Accepted papers will be included in the MSN main proceedings and will be published by the IEEE Press and EI-indexed. At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference in order for that paper to appear in the proceedings and to be scheduled for presentation. Authors are requested to submit their papers (PDF format) through EasyChair "http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=locan09". For submission-related questions, please contact program co-chairs. Important Dates --------------- Manuscript Submission: September 1, 2009 Acceptance Notification: October 1, 2009 Camera Ready Manuscript Due: October 15, 2009 General Co-Chairs ----------------- David Simplot-Ryl, Univ.

18 Aug '09

================= - Due to several requests we are extending the deadline of the BuildSys workshop to August 27, 2009, 11:59 pm GMT - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - ================= ================================================================================ C A L L F O R P A P E R S **** ACM BuildSys 2009 **** (In conjuction with ACM SenSys 2009) Berkeley California November 3 2009 (http://buildsys.ucd.ie/) ================================================================================ ACM BuildSyS 2009, "The First ACM Workshop on Embedded Sensing Systems For Energy-Efficiency In Buildings". Sensing, monitoring and actuating systems are expected to play a key role in reducing buildings overall energy consumption. Leveraging sensor systems to support energy efficiency in buildings poses novel research challenges in monitoring how the space is used, controlling devices, interfacing with smart energy meters and communicating with the energy grid. This includes developing energy efficient algorithms of control systems, integrating heterogeneous devices, personalizing and presenting data to generate energy awareness. These challenges include making sensed data available to any connected device, facilitating reasoning from multiple sources of data achieving global energy conservation over a combination of different systems, and devising control systems that support a multitude of network actuators. We solicit contributions that focus on the design of architectures that are capable of improving the global energy efficiency of buildings leveraging connected sensing systems, networks, and devices. Of particular interest is also the application of sensing and actuation technologies to distributed energy generation systems, i.e., systems to generate energy from federated small energy sources such as microgrids and local green energy sources. Successful papers will demonstrate how much energy is reduced by the authors' contribution, either through real-world results or credible simulation and analysis. We expect concise papers (max. 6 pages) presenting results from field trials, theoretical and practical issues of improving energy-efficiency in buildings by using embedded sensing systems written from both an academic and an industrial perspective.

by Dr Mario Kolberg 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Extended Deadline: 31 August 2009 Special Session: Advanced Technologies for Care at Home at IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference IEEE CCNC 2010 January 9 - 12, 2010, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2010 Submission deadline: 31 August 2009 - Extended Deadline. Due to a rapidly increasing ageing population, current care provision will become strained. A less costly and more practical solution will be to enable those requiring care to stay at home for longer. Those with long-term illness, physical or mental impairments may also prefer to remain in the care of friends and family. Assistive technology helps older people or those with impairments cope with normal life. Specialised technology is also being used to monitor situations such as someone becoming immobile or incapable. The aim is that, through use of sophisticated networking and management software, abnormal situations can be detected, acted upon and/or reported to a carer or a responder. This special session tries to bring together academics and commercial technology providers to explore current research issues with technologies for care at home. Topics of particular interest (but not limited to) include: • Integrated Home Care systems • Network Technologies for assistive technologies • User interfaces for care systems • Context aware health applications • Novel sensors, actuators, and augmented appliances for use in assistive systems • Mobile health applications • Experimental results and case studies on the use of technology for care at home All accepted submissions will be published in the proceedings of IEEE CCNC 2010. Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit regular technical papers or position papers. The position papers should present novel technologies at an early stage of development or share future vision. All submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts should not exceed five (5) pages in double-column IEEE format. Please submit the paper through EDAS. Formatting details can be found under Author Information on the CCNC web site. The deadline for paper submissions in EDAS is August 31, 2009. For more information on these specialized tracks, visit http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2010.

While traditional INFOCOM submissions are expected to be papers describing in detail a complete piece of research with its final results, WiP papers are expected to report on early research results in particularly interesting and innovative research fields, preferably conducted in cooperation between industry and academia. The main objective of WiP papers is to stimulate interest in new, promising, possibly controversial research fields. WiP paper authors can expect to receive feedback and suggestions from leading researchers in the field as well as attracting the interest of industry and government funding agencies. The topics of interest for WiP papers are identical to those in the main INFOCOM conference. Submissions to the WiP track will be reviewed by a separate Technical Program Committee. WiP paper submissions are strictly limited to a maximum of 5 pages in the usual INFOCOM format; longer submissions will be rejected without review. Presented WiP papers will be included in the IEEE Communications Society digital library, in IEEE Explore, and in the IEEE INFOCOM 2011’s CD. Important Dates: * WiP paper registration on EDAS: October 8 2009, 11:59PM PDT - required * Full WiP paper due: October 15 2009, 11:59 PM PDT - firm deadline * Notification of acceptance: January 15 2010 * Final papers due: April 1 2010 To submit your paper go to: http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=8137 Policies: All INFOCOM 2010 WiP paper presenters must register at the FULL rate. For authors presenting multiple papers, one FULL registration is valid for up to three papers. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.

[Tccc] CFP: IEEE CCNC'2010 Special Session on Social Networking (extended deadline: August 22)

[Sincere apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] IEEE CCNC'2010 Special Session on Social Networking January 9-12, 2010 Las Vegas, USA http://www.ieee-ccnc.org/2010/ or http://sites.google.com/site/socnets2010/ Important Dates -- Submission Deadline: August 15, 2009 (extended until August 22, 2009) -- Acceptance Notification: September 10, 2009 Social Networks (SocNets) have attracted billions of active users and this critical mass of users are increasing exponentially. Internet social network applications such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc. are providing valuable social information on contacts and their relationships. Wireless and mobile devices which are capable of creating, storing, processing, forwarding and sharing content are socially connected in a new radical networking and adaptive architecture harnessing the social behavior and mobility of the users. Thus, SocNets enable the pervasive connectivity without the need to maintain fully connected always-on networks. Such SocNets communities trigger exciting research interests in collaborative systems arising from the analysis of the structure and properties of SocNets. The use of private social information provides additional avenues for new networking operations --- for example, problems that allow the exploitation of SocNets to solve network and system security vulnerabilities, and how these new social network solutions can shape the design of secured distributed systems and networks; development of cross-layered architecture for diverse pervasive applications to distribute user-generated content based on social relationships and behaviors; etc. It also requires the cross-disciplinary research integration of computer science and engineering, biology, physics, anthropology, social sciences, etc. The goal of this special session is to catalyze cross-disciplinary research discussions that are of relevance to new and novel computer networking ideas, applications and experimental results in the area of SocNets. We solicit papers covering various topics of interest that include (but are not limited to) the following: -- Implications of social networking on future network architecture -- System design for social networks -- New social science of networks -- Physical and virtual social networks -- Social-based mobility -- Mobile and pervasive social networks -- Social community-based communication -- Real world applications of social network analysis and theory -- New social-inspired content creation and distribution networks -- New aspects of trust, privacy and security systems in social networking -- Data confidentiality and integrity in social networks Submission Instructions Authors are invited to submit regular technical papers or position papers. The position papers should present novel technologies at an early stage of development or share future vision. All submissions should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal. Manuscripts should not exceed five (5) pages in double-column IEEE format. Please submit the paper through EDAS. Formatting details can be found under Submission Guidelines on the CCNC website.
