CALL FOR PAPERS: EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE S-CUBE 2009 The first international conference on Sensor Systems and Software September 7-9, 2009 - Pisa, Italy http:// www.s-cubeconference.org Sponsored by ICST S-CUBE - the First Conference on wireless Sensor network (WSN) Systems and Software - provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing system development and software support for wireless sensor networks based systems that have the potential to impact society in many ways. Currently, wireless sensor networks introduce innovative and interesting application scenarios that may support a large amount of different applications including environmental monitoring, disaster prevention, building automation, object tracking, nuclear reactor control, fire detection, agriculture, healthcare, and traffic monitoring. The widespread acceptance of these new services can be improved by the definition of frameworks and architectures that have the potential to radically simplify software development for wireless sensor network based applications. The aim of these new architectures is to support flexible, scalable programming of applications based on adaptive middleware. As a consequence, WSNs require novel programming paradigms and technologies. Moreover the design of new complex systems, characterized by the interaction of different and heterogeneous resources, will allow the development of innovative applications that meet high performance goals. Hence, WSNs require contributions from many fields such as embedded systems, distributed systems, data management, system security and applications. The conference places emphasis on layers well above the traditional MAC and routing, and transport layer protocols. The aim of the conference is to create a forum in which researchers from academia and industry, practitioners, business leaders, intellectual property experts and venture capitalists may work together in order to compare and debate different innovative solutions. The conference will feature a highly selective technical program consisting of regular papers, short papers, and posters as well as specialized tracks at the intersection of business and technology. Topics Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. The specific topics of the conference, related to wireless sensor networks and wireless multimedia sensor networks, include but are not limited to: * Sensor Application Programming Paradigms * Sensor Application Development Support Systems * Sensor Network Middleware * Novel Sensor Applications * Sensor Prototypes & Testbeds * Underwater and underground wireless sensor networking * Cooperative sensing * Capacity planning and admission control, especially for multimedia sensor networks * Resource management and QoS Provisioning * Resource and service discovery * Self organization and network management * Security, Privacy & Trust * P2P, overlay, and content distribution architectures for sensor networks * Mobile sensor networking, Vehicular sensor networks and protocols * Pervasive/embedded solutions * Data models oriented to wireless distributed applications * Distributed coordination algorithms including clustering and topology control * Localization, time synchronization, coverage, connectivity and deployment issues * Network Management and monitoring * Modelling, analysis and performance evaluation * Mesh networking connectivity to sensor networks Important Dates * EXTENDED PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 20th, 2009 * Notification of Acceptance: May 30th, 2009 * Camera Ready Deadline: July 1st, 2009 Publication The proceedings of S-Cube 2009 will be published by Springer as part of the new series Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social-Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (LNICST) and will be available through Springer's digital library.

[Fwd: [Tccc] ACM TOMACS Special Issue on Modeling and Simulation of Cross-Layer Interactions in Communication Networks]
by Lars Wolf 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] ACM TOMACS Special Issue on Modeling and Simulation of Cross-Layer Interactions in Communication Networks Datum: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:16:44 +0100 Von: Fabrizio Granelli <granelli(a)disi.unitn.it> An: csim(a)comsoc.org, tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu, taos(a)comsoc.org ACM TOMACS Special Issue – Call for Papers ----------------------------------------------------------- Modeling and Simulation of Cross-Layer Interactions in Communication Networks Guest Editors: Fabrizio Granelli and Michael Devetsikiotis Submission deadline: April 30th, 2009 Cross-layering represents an important emerging design approach to overcome limitations and lack of flexibility of the layering principle, which is the basis of today’s communication networks. Indeed, in specific scenarios such as Quality-of-Service provisioning and wireless networks deeper integration and interaction among different layers is envisaged. Despite the wide-spread adoption of the general cross layer design principle, not much attention has been placed on solid, quantitative, systematic study of the system behaviour and interactions among different protocols at different layers. In fact, even if several cross-layering architectures are available in the literature, only a few works face the problem of providing frameworks for modeling cross-layering interactions and support the definition of cross-layering solutions. Quantitative cross-layer formulations and models are still needed to effectively provide guidelines on the impact of the design parameters in terms of overall system performance. Simulation based methods represent indispensable tools to provide further in-sight in this direction, given the analytical intractability of the full cross layer complex system. Indeed, specific modeling techniques need to be at the “top” of the performance evaluation process for cross-layer systems, and properly studied using formal principles, with strong support from simulation analysis to capture the subtle interactions across the layers. The special issue is aimed at gathering novel contributions in the development of models for cross- layering interactions and computational solutions. Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions (not submitted for publication elsewhere) on the following topics: - modeling and simulation of cross-layering interactions - modeling and simulation of cross-layering processes - modeling and abstraction of cross-layer functionalities - architectural models for cross-layering signalling - sensitivity analysis, derivative approximation and simulation-based optimization - model-based cross-layer system optimization - cross layer simulation implementation issues - simulation environments for analysis of cross-layer interactions - verification of cross-layer models and simulations - cross-layer systems experimental trials and testbeds Full papers that are associated with workshop presentations are eligible to be submitted to this special issue. Papers are to be submitted by April 30th, 2009, through the ACM ToMaCS WWW site, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tomacs. For more information, please contact the Guest Editors Fabrizio Granelli (granelli(a)disi.unitn.it) or Michael Devetsikiotis (mdevets(a)ncsu.edu).

by Nischal.Piratla＠telekom.de 24 Feb '09

24 Feb '09

Sincere apologies for duplication, if you have received it through other channels. Call for Papers: WNM 2009 Fourth IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements, in conjunction with the 34th IEEE LCN (http://www.cnrl.colostate.edu/IEEELCN-WNM2009/) October 20-23, 2009 Swissôtel Zürich, Schulstrasse 44, CH-8050 Zürich, Switzerland The LCN International Workshop on Network Measurements, will be held in conjunction with the IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN). The workshop will include papers and panels dealing with latest advances and challenges facing the field. The expected audience will include networking researchers, practitioners, scientists and engineers from industry, academia and government. LCN registration will cover workshop attendance. The first three IEEE LCN Workshop on Network Measurements was very successful in bringing together a set of participants actively working on network measurements in various domains. We will continue to address network measurements from different perspectives and different domains. Topics of Interest: Network measurements are crucial for operation, diagnosis, and characterization of complex networks. Accurate characterization is important for understanding the behavior of networks and for evaluating the scalability, reliability and performance of protocols. Cross-layer designs, and overlay protocols often rely on measurements. Measurements in wired and wireless domains, and end-to-end and subnet measurements face domain specific constraints while sharing common objectives. Complex dynamics of the networks and also the difficulties in performing measurement itself pose many challenges. This workshop will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners interested in network measurements to discuss and exchange measurement related research in both wireless and wired domains, and also explore emerging fields of measurements such as on mobile devices. High quality, previously unpublished work is solicited on the topics including, but not limited to: Measurements on homogeneous and heterogeneous networks Physical layer characteristics and measurements for wireless networks Implementation and operational challenges of wireless testbeds Mobility models and traffic patterns Wired and wireless domain measurements Measurement tools, benchmarks and data sets Bandwidth, capacity and delay estimation Active and passive measurements at core nodes End-to-end and/or application-level measurements over the Internet Metrics for network characterization Measurements on Mobile devices Applications and protocols relying on network measurements Paper length should not exceed 6 pages. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format via EDAS. Papers will go through a thorough review process. The accepted papers will appear in the IEEE LCN conference proceedings and also be available via IEEE Xplore. Proposals for panel sessions are also invited. Please send the proposal by the same deadline as for papers. Important Dates: Paper registration deadline: April 6, 2009 Paper submission deadline: April 13, 2009 Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2009 Camera-ready paper due: July 28, 2009 Registration deadline: July 28, 2009 Information on registration, hotel, etc. is available at IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN) General Chairs: Nischal M.
