Akan <akan(a)ece.gatech.edu> An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu [We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL (ELSEVIER) Special Issue on WIRELESS MULTIMEDIA SENSOR NETWORKS Submission deadline: April 30, 2007 _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have recently been the focus of a significant amount of attention and effort of the research community. The main motivation has been to address the challenges posed by the WSN paradigm, i.e., limited node power, processing, and communication capabilities, dense network deployment, multi-hop communications, and heterogeneous application-specific requirements. The vast majority of these studies applies to conventional WSN applications which need reliable and efficient communication of scalar event features and sensor data such as temperature, pressure, humidity. With the availability of low-cost small-scale imaging sensors, CMOS cameras, microphones, which may ubiquitously capture multimedia content from the field, Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN) have been proposed and drawn the immediate attention of the research community. WMSN applications, e.g., multimedia surveillance networks, target tracking, environmental monitoring, and traffic management systems, require effective harvesting and communication of event features in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video. To this end, additional challenges for energy-efficient multimedia processing and communication in WMSN, i.e., heterogeneous multimedia reliability definitions, tight QoS expectations, and high bandwidth demands, must be addressed as well. This special issue solicits papers describing the state-of-the-art, reliable and efficient multimedia processing and delivery solutions imperative for the realization of WMSN. Original contributions (previously unpublished and not currently under review) are solicited in areas including (but not limited to) the following: * Novel WMSN architectures and applications * Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming in WMSN * Energy-efficient MAC, routing, and traffic management for WMSN * Cross-layer design for effective communications in WMSN * Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN * Joint multimedia processing and communication solutions for WMSN * Distributed source coding and multimedia processing in WMSN * Information fusion and multimedia aggregation in WMSN * Group and cooperative communications for multimedia delivery in sensor/actor networks * WMSN capacity modeling and theoretical analysis * Delay-tolerant networking for WMSN * Topology control, localization, synchronization, and mobility * Physical layer technologies for efficient WMSN * Secure multimedia communications in WMSN * Experimental and testbed studies of WMSN Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective Authors: Please follow Computer Networks (Elsevier) Journal format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] IEEE JSAC Special issue on Delay and Disruption Tolerant Wireless Communication Datum: Fri, 12 Jan 2007 13:37:10 +0100 Von: Gunnar Karlsson <gk(a)ee.kth.se> Organisation: KTH EE/LCN An: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications DELAY AND DISRUPTION TOLERANT WIRELESS COMMUNICATION Modern computer communication has been developed for providing conti- nuous end-to-end connectivity. There are, however, communication services that are tolerant to disruptions and delay and do not require or cannot be given continuous connectivity. It is time to consider the unconnected network. This issue is dedicated to communication over wireless networks with inter- mittent connectivity due to planned or unexpected disruptions that may result in long delays for the communicating parties. Communication dis- ruptions occur both in infrastructure and ad-hoc wireless networks. In both cases, it is possible that mobile nodes cooperatively forward data for one another through their own movements. The mobility patterns of nodes affect thereby both the speed and reliability of data forwarding. Inter- mittent communication occurs also in sensor networks due to, e.g., energy- saving sleep cycles, and in deep-space communication and meteor-burst communication. The communication services that may use such intermittent and high-delay connections are characterized by a low degree of inter- activity, e.g., broadcasting, messaging, and data collection. Opportunistic strategies for caching and communicating may improve the performance in terms of reduced delay and improved probability of delivery. This issue of J-SAC is dedicated to technologies, systems designs and analyses that contribute to the development and understanding of delay and disruption tolerant wireless communication systems. Original contributions, previously unpublished and not currently under review, are solicited in relevant areas including (but not limited to) the following. * Data encoding for partial and unordered delivery * User studies of delay and disruption tolerances * Opportunistic caching and pre-fetching for concealment of service disruptions * Mobility measurements, modeling and performance analysis * Uni-, any-, and multicast routing protocols * Congestion, flow and error control; per-hop and multi-hop solutions * Security, privacy, authenticity and traceability of communication * Energy saving strategies and power management * Applications to personal communication, sensor networks, road-traffic systems and industrial communication Prospective authors should follow the IEEE J-SAC manuscript format described in the Information for Authors under http://www.jsac.ucsd.edu/.

Prior efforts on wireless networks, especially multi-hop ad hoc networks, have led to significant research contributions that range from fundamental results on theoretical capacity bounds to numerous practical routing and transport protocols. Unlike ad hoc networks, however, mesh networks can serve as access networks that employ multi-hop wireless forwarding by mesh nodes to relay traffic to and from the wired Internet. The unique features of wireless mesh networks pose challenges in designing affordable, reliable, and sustainable network infrastructures. The critical issues span a rich spectrum of issues from interference-aware channel assignment, multi-hop routing, to reliable transport and infrastructure optimization, many of which have to be revisited in this new context. The purpose of this special issue is to archive the state-of-the-art achievements in wireless mesh networking. We solicit original and unpublished research papers in both theoretical studies and practical protocol/architecture designs for wireless mesh networks, as well as prototypes. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Theoretical performance analysis - Network capacity and network coverage - Scalable power management and topology control - Cognitive radio-enabled wireless mesh networks - Multi-channel and multi-radio MAC protocols - Scalable and robust routing protocols - Reliable and adaptive transport protocols - Cross-layer design and optimization - New applications over wireless mesh networks - Secure communication protocols - Resource management and traffic control - Heterogeneous wireless mesh networks - Cooperative communication for mesh networks - Efficient transport design - Network operation and management - Mobility management - Testbeds and trial systems Publication Schedules: - Manuscript Due: June 1, 2007 - Acceptance Notification: Oct 15, 2007 - Final Manuscript Due: Dec 1, 2007 - Publication Date: second quarter in 2008 (expected) Submission Guidelines: Only original, unpublished research papers will be considered.

The focus of WICON 2007 will be on advanced wireless access technologies, wireless mesh networks, interworking of heterogeneous networks, next generation wireless Internet, and industrial practice methodology. Given the existence of many other conferences on mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks, papers that are oriented to these networks are discouraged unless they directly focus on the conference theme of the Wireless Internet. WICON 2007 is soliciting both academic research and industry practice papers. Industry practice papers must have at least one author from industry and should describe interesting technical aspects of industrial applications, prototypes, experiences, and standards; performance and design details are encouraged, whereas papers focused on marketing or product information will not be accepted. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Wireless access technologies: ============================= * Wireless LANs, WiMedia, WiMAX, Bluetooth * 3G and 4G cellular networks Wireless multi-hop mesh networks: ================================= * New mesh network architecture * WiFi, UWB, Bluetooth wireless mesh networks * Scalable MAC and routing protocols * Multi-radio and multi-channel mesh networks * QoS, security, and mobility management Convergence of various wireless technologies: ============================================= * Roaming, Interworking, and UMA * Cognitive radios and programmable radios for wireless Internet * Adaptive transport layer protocols Testbed and measurements: ========================= * Protocol design, implementation, and testbed setup of wireless Internet * Measurement of wireless Internet and performance analysis Next generation wireless Internet: ================================== * Novel wireless Internet architecture * New services and applications * New algorithms for scalable, reliable, and high speed wireless Internet SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: ======================== Papers will be submitted by electronic submission through COCUS system: http://cocus.create-net.it.
