[Tccc] CFP: ACM TAAS Special Issue on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Wireless Networking Systems
by Zhang, Liqiang 09 Jul '08

09 Jul '08

Apologies if you receive multiple copies ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems Special Issue on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Wireless Networking Systems http://taas.acm.org/TAAS-ACM-SelfOrg-WSN.pdf Paper submission due: July 31st, 2008 **************************************************************************************** Recent advances in wireless communications and networking, distributed sensing and control, and real-time and embedded systems have led to some new computing paradigms, such as ubiquitous and pervasive computing, wireless sensor networks, and cyber-physical systems. Many novel and attractive applications are made possible, such as advanced automotive systems, environmental control, critical infrastructure control, high confidence medical devices and systems, etc. In these applications, a large scale wireless networking system that consists of massive numbers of connected processing elements, sensors, and actuators often plays a key role. The high complexity of such large scale heterogeneous systems raises new challenges to the system design: we expect the system to be context-aware and self-adaptive to internal and external environments to achieve reliable and robust performance; to be self-organizing and scalable so that managing and maintaining costs could be minimized; to have programmable architecture and protocols for achieving optimal performance in different situations/scenarios, etc. These challenges need to be addressed under joint efforts from different areas, such as networking, system, control, AI, biology, and others. The special issue seeks original and unpublished papers that address theoretical and experimental work related to self-adaptive and self-organizing wireless networking systems (SASOWNS). Papers are solicited from, but are not limited to, the following topics: * Self-adaptive architectures, algorithms, and protocols * Control theoretical approaches for self-optimization * Self-organizing wireless mesh, ad hoc, and sensor networking * Self-configurable and programmable MAC and routing protocols * Biological, economic, and social models for large scale SASOWNS * Applications and testbeds of SASOWNS * Autonomic and autonomous wireless networking systems IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper submission due: July 31st, 2008 Acceptance notification: Dec. 31st, 2008 Camera-ready due: Feb. 28th, 2009 Tentative publication date: June/Sep. 2009 SUBMISSION FORMAT AND REVIEW GUIDELINES --------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting important developments (or advances) in the topics related to the special issue. The submitted papers must be written in English and describe original research not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Parallel submissions will not be accepted.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Workshop on Urban, Community, and Social Applications of Networked Sensing Systems Datum: Mon, 7 Jul 2008 18:44:49 -0400 Von: Andrew T. Campbell <Campbell(a)cs.dartmouth.edu> An: tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu CC: Andrew T. Campbell <Campbell(a)cs.dartmouth.edu> Call for Papers Workshop on Urban, Community, and Social Applications of Networked Sensing Systems November 4, 2008, Raleigh http://sensorlab.cs.dartmouth.edu/urbansensing/ Held in conjunction with ACM SenSys 2008 Sensing is going mobile and people-centric. Sensors for activity recognition and GPS for location are now being shipped in millions of top end mobile phones. This complements other sensors already on mobile phones such as high-quality cameras and microphones. At the same time we are seeing sensors installed in urban environments in support of more classic environmental sensing applications, such as, real-time feeds for air-quality, pollutants, weather conditions, and congestion conditions around the city. Collaborative data gathering of sensed data for people by people, facilitated by sensing systems comprised of everyday mobile devices and their interaction with static sensor webs, present a new frontier at the intersection between pervasive computing and sensor networking. This workshop promotes exchange among sensing researchers involved in areas, such as, mobile sensing, people-centric and participatory sensing, urban sensing, public health, community development, and cultural expression. It focuses on how mobile phones and other everyday devices can be employed as network- connected, location-aware, human-in-the-loop sensors that enable data collection, geo-tagged documentation, mapping, modeling, and other case-making capabilities. This workshop is the third in a series of meetings held at SenSys over last few years. The first workshop in 2006 dealt with the concept of the world sensor web and the second at SenSys 2007 focused on sensing on everyday mobile phones in support of participatory research. We particularly encourage position papers on the following topics (but not limited to): -Applications and architectural ideas -Mobile phones sensing systems -Activity recognition and classification techniques -Data gathering, analysis and visualization of sensed data -Privacy and security issues -Sensing and its application to social networks -City-wide urban sensing -Machine learning for human and group behavior -Participatory and opportunistic sensing -Body area sensor networks -Sensing for creational applications, healthcare, public health, community development, and cultural expression. -Interaction between static sensor webs and mobile sensors Paper Submission Instructions: Submissions should contain 5 U.S. letter pages in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables.

[Tccc] CFP: IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (submission deadline extended)
by Ling-Jyh Chen 04 Jul '08

04 Jul '08

Apologies if you have received multiple copies ================================================================== Call for Papers The First IEEE International Workshop on Vehicular Networking (VON-08) http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VON08/ to be held in conjunction with The IEEE 2008 Asia-Pacific Services Computing Conference (IEEE APSCC 2008), December 9-12, 2008, Yilan, Taiwan. ================================================================== Aims and Scope --------------- The goal of this workshop is to present and discuss recent advances in the development of wireless vehicular networking technologies. Based on short- to medium-range communication systems (vehicle-to- vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside), vehicular networks will enable vehicular safety applications including collision and other safety warnings as well as non-safety applications like real-time traffic congestion and routing information, high-speed tolling, mobile infotainment, and many others. The creation of high-performance, highly reliable, highly scalable, and secure vehicular networks technologies, though, presents an extraordinary challenge to the wireless research community: a high degree of communication reliability is needed under unfavorable channel conditions. Clearly, the specificity of vehicular networks in terms of mobility behavior and applications scenarios and requirements makes vehicular networks research an exciting and demanding application- and purpose-driven sub-discipline of wireless networking. Topics of Interest ----------------- Original papers addressing applications and architecture, systems and protocols design, development and analysis, in all areas related to Vehicular 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: - Vehicular mobile ad-hoc networks - Routing protocols for V2V communications - MAC layer technologies - Physical layer and RF level technologies - Antenna technologies - Role of V2V communications in Intelligent Transportation Systems - Safety and non-safety applications - High-speed mobility management - Radio resource management and QoS support - Roadside-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-vehicle communication - Algorithms, protocols and systems for data dissemination - Channel modeling - Modulation and coding - Power control and scalability issues - Multi-channel organization and operation - Security issues and countermeasures - Privacy issues - Network management - Simulation frameworks & real-world testbeds Submissions and Proceedings ------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit an electronic version of original, unpublished manuscripts via ISAS website: http://nrl.iis.sinica.edu.tw/VON08/ISAS/ 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 five (5) pages including figures and references.
