[Tccc] CFP IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on DependabilityIssues with Ubiquitous Wireless Access
by Albert Banchs 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine Special Issue on Dependability Issues with Ubiquitous Wireless Access ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://www.comsoc.org/dl/pcm/cfpwireless808.htm +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Manuscript Due: 1 December 2007 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Recent years have witnessed a proliferation of the number of wireless technologies available to access the Internet. While the emergence of these new technologies can enable truly ubiquitous Internet access, it also raises issues with the dependability of the Internet service delivered to users. Indeed, wireless Internet access is, when compared to traditional wired access solutions, more prone to security attacks and less predictable in terms of the Quality of Service (QoS) experienced by users. This poses serious challenges to the provisioning, in this context, of a dependable Internet service that meets the users’ requirements in terms of security, QoS, reliability and availability, among others. In order to meet the above requirements on dependability, new solutions such as security and QoS mechanisms need to be designed for the wireless access. Several issues need to be addressed in the design of such dependable wireless solutions, including the following: (1) the open nature of radio communications provides serious exposure to security attacks; (2) the limited capacity and shared nature of the wireless medium complicates the provisioning of Quality of Service; (3) inherently unpredictable wireless channel characteristics make it hard to guarantee availability; (4) exploitation of resources due to selfish and malicious behavior is difficult to prevent; (5) the emergence of new paradigms, such as opportunistic spectrum usage and self-organizing networks, promise improvements but introduce new challenges to dependability. This special issue will focus on recent research results on dependability issues with ubiquitous wireless access in the context of wireless technologies including WLAN, cellular and broadcast systems, ad-hoc and mesh networks, among others. Topics of interest include, although are not limited to, the following: * Predictable shared medium access mechanisms * Techniques for identifying and controlling selfish users * Security mechanisms and protocols for the wireless access * Wireless Quality of Service provisioning * Countering Denial-of-service attacks in wireless networks * Metrics for measuring dependability * Privacy-aware dependable operation for wireless networks * Dependable opportunistic spectrum techniques * Dependability in self-organizing networks * Reliable and ubiquitous emergency services * Dependable services for mobile users Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. All submissions will be reviewed based on technical merit and relevance. Guidelines for prospective authors can be found on-line at http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/pcm/pub_guidelines.html. Please send PDF (preferred), Microsoft Word, or PostScript formatted papers to Albert Banchs (banchs(a)it.uc3m.es) no later than 1 December 2007. Manuscript Due: 1 December 2007 Acceptance Notification: 15 March 2008 Final Revised Manuscript Due: 15 May 2008 Publication: August 2008 Guest Editors: Prof. Albert Banchs, Univ. Carlos III Prof. Virgil Gligor, University of Maryland Prof. Daji Qiao, Iowa State University Dr. Dirk Westhoff, NEC Europe Ltd. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Tccc] CFP: Workshop on Smart Sensing and Situation Awareness in Sensor Networks
by WenZhan Song 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Workshop on Smart Sensing and Situation Awareness in Sensor Networks Behrooz Shirazi and WenZhan Song, Washington State University, USA http://conferences.theiet.org/ie08/workshop_smart_sensing.htm The aim of this workshop is to stimulate research on smart sensing and situation awareness related topics in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Sensor network can be said to be the nerve system of our engineering network world, extracting and transmitting useful and timely information reliably for efficient decision support and quick corrective actions. Examples of end-to-end sensor applications include: cargo monitoring systems in a harbor that check containers in a WSN equipped ship for detecting dangerous chemical substances, locating stowaways, or calculating import duties; environmental monitoring systems, such as volcano monitoring and structure monitoring sensor network, that provides domain scientists high resolution views of environments; transport systems that route traffic using real-time data monitored by sensor-enabled cars; emergency management systems that can detect bushfires; smart home environments that enable remote monitoring of residents, early detection of emergency situations and enhancement of quality of life and safety. However, different applications have different context and mission needs, hence developing and deploying end-to-end applications for sensor networks in a realistic business context remains highly complex. Unlike traditional communication networks, a sensor network is to provide a high degree of visibility into environmental physical processes, not to provide any-to-any communications. Consequently, it requires an end-to-end approach that handles the WSN as a whole rather than as a group of individual nodes. The sensor network design therefore shall be fully context and situation-aware, and target to maximize mission returns with given resource constraints. We seek technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Environmental context and situation awareness Resource discovery and management Cross layering and resource awareness (Distributed) compressed sensing and data aggregation Data fusion, storage and management Effective naming and device/service discovery in end-to-end WSNs Failure resilience and fault isolation Sensor network management Overlay and topology management Sensor mobility and heterogeneity, and smart sensor device drivers Localization, time synchronization Security and privacy Integration with back-end systems such as web-based information systems, process control, and enterprise software Sensor network planning, provisioning, calibration and deployment Deployment experience and testbeds Experimental methodology, including measurement, simulation, and emulation infrastructure Analysis of real-world systems and fundamental limits Instructions for Manuscripts Authors are requested to submit a PDF file for their manuscript following the submission guideline available at http://conferences.theiet.org/ie08/author.htm . All manuscripts should be submitted through the conference submission system and choosing the workshop title. The papers should also be emailed to the workshop organizer for reference. All manuscripts should be received by the conference deadline for paper submission which is the 15th of January 2008. For more information please contact: Professor WenZhan Song, songwz(a)wsu.edu, Washington State University, Vancouver WA, USA. _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 1st International Workshop on Interoperable Vehicles (IOV 2008) March 26, 2008 Zurich, Switzerland In Cooperation with Internet of Things 2008 http://www.iov2008.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE: For a couple of years, some initial telematics services that inform the driver about current road and traffic conditions are already in the market. With new wireless communication capabilities available like WLAN, WiMAX or UMTS, many additional services become feasible. Therefore, one of the major automotive trends is keeping both the vehicle and the driver seamlessly connected with their environment, providing high-quality traffic related information, increasing active safety and offering passengers high-bandwidth internet connectivity. In the automotive domain, universal connectivity of vehicles in particular enables the implicit sharing of up-to-date traffic- and road related context information. On the one hand, the vehicles require information from the route ahead in order to optimally support the driver. On the other hand, the local knowledge of vehicles which is based on a variety of on-board sensor systems can also contribute to support other (not necessarily automotive) services. In this regard, the workshop aims to establish a forum to bring together research professionals in both academia and industry to address the technical, economic, systems and application issues related to Interoperable Vehicles. The topics of interest include (but not limited to): - In-vehicle knowledge management and knowledge distribution among vehicles - Novel applications for (or based on) connected vehicles - Multi-Channel / Hybrid Connectivity - Network management and scalability - Service discovery and service provisioning - Security and Privacy - Concurrent use of multiple applications via the available channels - Business models for market introduction / Role out strategies -------------- DATE AND PLACE -------------- This workshop will be held on March 26, 2007 in Zurich, at the Conference Hotel of Internet of Things 2008. --------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Paper submission deadline: January 11, 2008 Notification of acceptance: February 9, 2008 Camera Ready Deadline: March 1, 2008 ----------------------- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit full papers presenting new research related to the theory or practice of interoperable vehicles, describing original, research work not published and are not currently under review elsewhere.

JVCIR special issue: "Resource-Aware Adaptive Video Streaming"
by Enrico Magli 07 Nov '07

07 Nov '07

Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation Special Issue: Resource-Aware Adaptive Video Streaming Modern multimedia applications such as mobile television, movie on demand, IPTV, multiview video, distributed video conferencing, streaming and gaming over wired and wireless networks have stimulated research for new technologies in the area of multimedia architectures, processing, and networking. Current communications networks exhibit a wide range of capabilities, including various architectures, throughputs, quality of service and protocols; interconnection of different networks provides several advantages, but also poses major technical challenges. On the other hand, users employ heterogeneous terminals with a wide range of computational and display capabilities, energy resources, features, accessibilities, and user preferences. The variety of possible scenarios has escalated the need for efficient and effective techniques for streaming and adapting compressed videos in such heterogeneous environments. Considerable amounts of research activities in industry and academia have been devoted to developing the enabling technologies that are needed to make this vision reality. The goal of this special issue is to provide an up-to-date picture of state-of-the-art research in the field of video streaming, emphasizing the two key aspects of adaptation and resource-awareness. In particular, papers are solicited mainly, although not exclusively, in the following areas: Bandwidth and Resource Adaptive Video Streaming - Optimization of energy resources for video streaming - Platform awareness for low-power and embedded devices - Dynamic video content adaptation - Cross-layer optimization for video streaming - Cooperative video streaming - Peer-to-peer video streaming Resource Adaptive Encoding/Decoding Algorithms - Scalable video coding (quality, spatial, temporal and computation scalability) - Reconfigurable video coding - Distributed video coding Adaptation to Network Errors and Losses - Error resilience and concealment for video coding and communication - Source, channel and network coding for error-resilient video streaming Applications and Systems - IPTV: Video broadcasting and multicasting - Multi-view and interactive video - Video-anywhere.
