[Fwd: [Tccc] CFP: First International Workshop on Protocols and Algorithms for Reliable and Data Intensive Sensor Networks (PARIS'07)]
by Lars Wolf 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] CFP: First International Workshop on Protocols and Algorithms for Reliable and Data Intensive Sensor Networks (PARIS'07) Datum: Mon, 19 Mar 2007 12:11:51 +0100 Von: Christoph Weyer <c.weyer(a)tu-harburg.de> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu ========================================================================= The First International Workshop on Protocols and Algorithms for Reliable and Data Intensive Sensor Networks (PARIS'07) October 8th, 2007 --- Pisa, Italy http://paris.tu-harburg.de/ Held in conjunction with the Fourth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Systems ======================================================================== The field of wireless sensor networks has advanced considerably over the past years and new research problems are emerging. In particular the aspect of quality of service is becoming more important as applications are turned into products. This workshop focuses on the issue of reliability in data intensive wireless sensor networks. It is held just one day prior to the Fourth IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS'07) in the pleasant town of Pisa, Italy. This event provides an ideal opportunity to meet leading experts and to discuss new ideas. The main objective of PARIS'07 is to bring together international researchers with the aim of encouraging the exchange of ideas and experience and to find new research directions to follow. It will represent an international forum to give an overview of the most recent trends. WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION An new emerging class of applications has very high bandwidth requirements. In some of these applications sensors measure data at rates 100 Hz and higher. At the same time sensors such as cameras are used that produce high volumes of data. Examples of applications that show these characteristics are structural monitoring of buildings, volcano and coastline monitoring, and Surveillance of public transport systems. Protocols and algorithms developed for lightly-loaded sensor networks can not be directly applied to this domain. Besides being data intensive, some applications require that the measured data is reliably transported towards a sink. A reliable service is needed if the data from all sensors is used to build a model, where only the entirety of the data allows a correct interpretation. Any loss of data items requires extrapolation reducing the quality of the analysis or even rendering the analysis impossible. The reliable transportation of high volumes of sampled data through a multi-hop network with limited resources towards a sink has not received much attention until now and is a real challenge. Also it is not obvious which reliability criteria to use, in same applications statistical guarantees may also suffices. These questions are part of the more general topic of quality of service for wireless sensor networks. While this topic has received a lot of attention in wired communications systems, there are only a few contributions dedicated to sensor networks. The objective of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for academic researchers and industry practitioners to present and discuss experiences and research results for this new emerging field and to find new research directions to follow. TOPICS PARIS'07 seeks original papers describing research in all areas described above. Papers should not have been published or be in submission at another workshop or conference. Topics include but are not limited to: * Quality of service for sensor networks * Intelligent and adaptive scheduling mechanisms * Power management for data intensive applications * Energy-aware reliable transport protocols * Probabilistic reliability * Fault tolerance in sensor networks * In-Network aggregation schemes * Distributed data compression * Bulk data transportation * Stream processing in sensor networks Submissions should present original reports of substantive new work. Papers should properly place the work within the field, cite related work, and clearly indicate the innovative aspects of the work and its contribution to the field. In addition to regular papers, we also solicit submissions of position papers articulating high-level architectural visions, describing challenging future directions, or criticizing current design wisdom. Position papers should contribute perspective rather than performance numbers, wisdom rather than knowledge, and guidance rather than results. Furthermore, we encourage reports on lessons learned from real-world deployments and best practices for different applications areas. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers from an international program committee. Accepted submissions will appear in the main conference proceedings published by the IEEE. SUBMISSION INFORMATION All submissions must be full papers in .pdf or .ps (PostScript) format. Papers must be uploaded to the EDAS conference system by April 30, 2007, and must not exceed 6 single-spaced, two-column pages (4 pages for position papers and experience reports) using at least 11 point size fonts on 8.5 x 11 inch pages. Detailed submission instructions will be published in due time on the workshop website.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] PerNets'07 cfp Datum: Wed, 14 Mar 2007 11:50:43 +0100 Von: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu Please accept our apologies if you received multiple copies of this call for papers ============================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS ============================================================ Second International Workshop on Personalized Networks <http://pernets.org/>http://pernets.org/ To be held in conjunction with: The 4th Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networks and Services (MOBIQUITOUS 2007) August 6-10, 2007 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA ============================================================ Important Dates Paper Submission Deadline: April 1, 2007 Notification of Acceptance: May 21, 2007 Camera-Ready Submissions: June 10, 2007 (Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library) ============================================================= Purpose of this workshop The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle. (Please visit <http://pernets.org/>http://pernets.org/ for more information and submission instructions) Scope of the submission We seek original contributions which are aimed at finding solutions to the problems that are outlined above towards realization of a Personalized Network. We have identified the following major topics under which we try to categorize the submissions. However, we will consider any other original, interesting, and imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting this goal of a Personalized Network. * The architectural framework of personalized networks * Context awareness and support * Resource, service and context discovery * Self-organization and adaptation * Addressing and routing * Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks, etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks * Mobility of personalized networks * Security, privacy and accounting * Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use * Dependability * Context-aware and application-driven communication substrates * Interactions between persons through their networks, federations of such networks * Handling of QoS across heterogeneous and dynamically changing link layers * New QoS concepts in personalized networks * Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources * Modeling and simulation of personalized networks * P2P paradigm in personalized networks * Innovative applications or prototypes and demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued Why should you participate in this workshop? Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the future networks, yet very current, in the field of communications. It attracts researchers from both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is an ideal platform to share a vision of where we are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an exciting new avenue for researchers and practitioners in the field of communication. Further, the final program will consist of carefully selected - with at least three peer reviews - and high quality submissions with a large emphasis on new ideas rather than incremental contributions to the field. Submissions of shorter versions of full papers that can be submitted to other conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.

In komplexen Anwendungen wie zur Mauterfassung gibt es erste Ansätze einer kontextbewussten Datenverarbeitung. Technische Innovationen wie RFID und preisgünstige mobile Computer erlauben es, Kontext-Informationen (wie zum Beispiel über Sensoren), und deren mobile Verarbeitung stärker zu nutzen. So kann Software kontextabhängig über eine vorherige Antizipation hinausgehend dynamisch angepasst werden. Besonders in den Bereichen B2B und B2C könnten so flexiblere Logistikanwendungen und eventuell längere Produktlebenszyklen erzielt werden. Die nächsten Schritte sind geprägt durch dynamische Vernetzung und Adaption bestehender und neuentwickelter Anwendungen. Ziele sind: Kostensenkung, Effizienzsteigerung, wie auch eine Verbesserung der Kundenzufriedenheit. Neben diesen Chancen müssen ebenso die Risiken betrachtet werden, wie etwa Einflüsse auf Datenschutz, Privatheit, veränderte Arbeitsprozesse sowie ökologische Wirkungen. Auf diesem Workshop sollen praktische und wissenschaftliche Erfahrungen ausgetauscht und gemeinsam neue Lösungen diskutiert werden. --------------- Mögliche Themen --------------- Beiträge für den Workshop sollten folgende Themenbereiche als inhaltlichen Schwerpunkt beinhalten: * Erfahrungsberichte über den Einsatz von RFID und Sensornetzen in der Logistik * Architekturen für unternehmensübergreifende Logistiksysteme welche ubiquitäre Technologien nutzen * Neue Methoden, Werkzeuge und Sensorsysteme zu Kontexterfassung in der Logistik * Technologien und Mechanismen zur Nachverfolgung von Gütern und Fahrzeugen * Adaptive Benutzerschnittstellen für kontextsensitive Logistikanwendungen * Modellierung von Ubiquitären Logistikanwendungen * Anwendungs-Evolution und Change-Management sowie deren programmiertechnischen Voraussetzungen * Softwaresysteme und Middleware-Lösungen für orts- und kontextabhängige Systeme * Programmoptimierungen zur Echtzeitverarbeitung von Sensor- und Logistikdaten auf Rechensystemen mit limitierten Ressourcen * Lösungsansätze für Probleme der robusten Gerätekommunikation in Transport und Fertigung * Ansätze zur systemübergreifenden Kontextmodellierung, Ontologien * Sicherheit und Datenintegrität in Logistiksystemen * Wissensgewinnung aus Logistikdaten und Datamining * Datenschutz in ubiquitären und kontextbewussten Logistiksystemen * Chancen und Risiken kontextsensitiver Techniken in der Logistik, Betrachtungen zur Technikfolgenabschätzung: ökonomische und ökologische Wirkungen * Ansätze und Erfahrungen für die Optimierung von Logistikprozessen mittels ubiquitärer Rechentechnologien * Bedeutung eingebetteter Datenverarbeitung beim Übergang von der traditionellen unternehmensspezifischen Logistik zu modernem Supply-Chain-Management -------- Beiträge -------- Ziel des Workshops ist es, ein Forum zur Präsentation und Diskussion praktischer Erfahrungen und aktueller Forschungsergebnisse zu bieten. Wissenschaftler, Entwickler, Entscheidungsträger und Anwender aus dem Bereich der kontextsensitiven und ubiquitären Anwendungsentwicklung sind eingeladen, sich aktiv in die Disukssion einzubringen.

Yet, issues like efficient mobility management and optimization, locator-identifier split, multihoming, security, and related operational/deployment concerns are still in their early stages of development. Moreover, the Internet architecture, its end-to-end principles, and business models will require rethinking due to the massive penetration of mobility into the Internet. MobiArch'07 welcomes submissions, from both researchers and practitioners, in exploration of recent advances in architectures, protocols, and experiences with emerging technologies on wireless and mobility over the Internet, with an emphasis on wireless infrastructures and mobility patterns for mobility support, new mobility protocols, service discovery, routing and location management, mobile network performance evaluation and modeling, multi-homing, security, architectural impacts and deployment considerations. Topics of Interest: ================== Topics of MobiArch’07 cover all aspects of architectural issues and system support for wireless and mobility in the Internet, including but not limited to: - Impacts of new wireless technologies/services and mobility patterns on the Internet architecture - Architectures and protocols for mobility support in the Internet, ranging from approaches in link, network, transport to session/application layers and cross-layer design - Location management, positioning and data management systems for wireless and mobility - Routing and addressing, including locator/identifier split issues and their impacts to the Internet architecture - IP multihoming including flow distribution and load sharing for wireless and mobility - Performance evaluation, experimentation and modeling of mobility in the Internet - Accounting, access control, security and privacy issues and impacts to Internet architecture - Economic, scalability and deployment issues of mobility infrastructure design - Mechanisms and issues with connecting developing regions into the Internet Following the success of MobiArch'06, the MobiArch'07 workshop will be a single-track one-day workshop. Early stages, position papers, systems and measurement papers will be particularly welcome. The proceedings will be published by the ACM and ACM digital library.
