[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 We seek technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results.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.

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.

Adaptability has been described as a characteristic of autonomous behavior and is often related to possessing learning capabilities through analysis of past behaviors and interactions. Adaptability has been intensely studied by various areas of engineering including artificial intelligence, control systems and human centered systems. Adaptability has been set as an important requirement for systems devised to work in new generation global networked and distributed environments like wireless networks, P2P networks, Web systems, multi-agent systems, grids, etc. Such systems are expected to pose new challenges for the development and application of adaptation techniques, due to their special characteristics including: interconnectivity, interactivity, distribution, heterogeneity and fault-tolerance. This special session welcomes submissions covering all aspects of adaptability in networked systems and media, including (but not limited to): - Self-configuring and self-structuring systems - Adaptive control in communication networks - Adaptive networked control systems - Rule-based adaptive systems - Computational intelligence and adaptability - Adaptability in multi-agent systems - Personalized and adaptive hypermedia - Adaptive information provisioning - Adaptive coordination - Adaptability in e-services, including e-learning and e-commerce - Adaptive negotiation - Context-aware systems - Machine learning methods for adaptive systems - Adaptive security systems Papers acceptance will be judged based on their relevance, clarity of presentation, originality and accuracy of results and proposed solutions.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] [CFP]Workshop on Wireless Multihop Communications in Networked Robotics (WMCNR 2008) Datum: Sat, 3 Nov 2007 10:07:45 +0900 Von: Jung-Min Park <millfron(a)yonsei.ac.kr> An: TCCC <tccc(a)lists.cs.columbia.edu> [Apologies for possible multiple copies] ================================================================== The First Workshop on Wireless Multihop Communications in Networked Robotics (WMCNR 2008) April 4th, Berlin, Germany http://www.wmcnr.org in conjunction with 6th Intl. Symposium on Modeling and Optimization in Mobile, Ad Hoc, and Wireless Networks (WiOpt'08) March 31-April 4, Berlin, Germany http://www.wiopt.org Call for papers: http://www.wmcnr.org/CFP_WMCNR2008.pdf ================================================================== *** Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2007 *** Submission guidelines are given at workshop webpage http://www.wmcnr.org Call for Papers The wireless multihop communication has been one of key research issues in recent years both in academia and wireless industry. It encompasses ad hoc radio networks, sensor networks, wireless mesh networks and mobile multihop relay related to the industrial and standardization activities such as IEEE 802.11s, 802.15.4, 802.16j, etc. Further the multihop communications can be combined with cooperative communications and network coding, which attracted more researchers in this field. The idea behind such multihop communications is to utilize the availability of other nodes or to borrow their transmission capability. This in many cases exceeds the delay caused by the multihop relay, the gain from which is capacity enhancement as well as coverage extension of plain radio networks. Now we turn our attention to the robotics area. In these days, many researchers are noticing group behaviors found in small insects or animals such as ants, birds, and fish, trying to realize such behaviors into the control and coordination of a team of robots with their local interaction. The multiple (usually small) robots communicate each other, sharing the same mission, naturally through wireless communications. In this respect, wireless multihop communication is an excellent candidate for inter-robot information exchange. The main idea of this workshop is to bridge the above two areas (wireless multihop communications and networked robotics) by opening a place for researchers to meet and exchange their ideas. The workshop welcomes submissions on all aspects of the themes, which include (but not limited to) the following topics: - Communication architecture for collaborative robot systems - Biologically inspired swarm robotics with networking functionality - Multiple robot networking with mutihop- and cooperative communications - Network coding and wireless relay technologies for cooperative robotics - Learning and adaptation in cooperative environments - Applications of multi-robot network systems - Ad hoc robot networks - Cognitive communication technologies for inter-robot team work - Exploiting robot mobility in wireless relay networks - QoS support in networked robotics - Wireless multihop networks under node mobility ================================================================== Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: November 18, 2007 Notification of acceptance: January 5, 2008 Camera-ready papers due: February 1, 2008 Submission guidelines are given at workshop webpage : http://www.wmcnr.org Submission will be done through COCUS : http://cocus.create-net.it ================================================================= Workshop Chair: Seong-Lyun Kim, Yonsei Univ., Korea (slkim(a)yonsei.ac.kr) Technical Programming Chairs: Riku Jantti, Helsinki Univ.
