In recent years, WSN applications based on simple sense-and-send type operations are replaced by more sophisticated applications that require guarantees from WSNs in communication and information processing. While service guarantees in wireless ad hoc networks have been researched in the past, these solutions cannot be directly applied to WSNs due to limited resource environment and large scale of WSNs. Solutions developed for WSNs must not only cater to the requirements of applications, but also conserve valuable energy resources of sensor nodes, be adaptive to unexpected changes, and operate in loose coordination with the rest of the network. These requirements also highlight the need for cross-layer design and interactions between sensor hardware, protocol layers, and application middleware. This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in the area of wireless sensor networks. Papers describing protocols, models, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of WSNs are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - WSN cross-layer protocol suites - Real-time communication in WSNs - Protocols for application-level service guarantees for WSNs - WSN capacity modeling and analysis - Application modeling for WSNs - Application admission methods for WSNs - Joint data processing and communication solutions for WSNs - Fault-tolerant communication and data processing in WSNs - Topology control and network reconfiguration - Localization, synchronization, and mobility - Security issues, solutions, and models - Novel WSN architectures and applications - Experimental and testbed studies of WSNs Submission Instructions: ------------------------ Full papers must be submitted in PDF format by e-mail to ekici(a)ece.osu.edu.

Multimedia data characteristics, coding standards functionalities, as well as network protocols performance and channel behavior are some of the key aspects that need to be carefully examined when proposing new solutions. Many are the applications that are going to be enabled by the new standards for mobile networking, such as packet telephony, video mail, video streaming, audio conferencing, interactive gaming, conversational navigation services, digital television, infomobility, and immersive communications in virtual environments. Some of these novel networking protocols and technologies include IEEE 802.11 (infrastructured, mesh, and sensor networks), 802.15, 802.16, UWB, DVB-H, Bluetooth, Mobile IP and its variants. Within this scope, MobiMedia is intended to provide a unique international forum for researchers working in multimedia and mobile networking fields to study new applications, solutions, and standards. Original unpublished contributions are solicited that can improve the knowledge and practice in the integrated design of efficient technologies and the relevant provision of advanced mobile multimedia applications. TECHNICAL PROGRAMS -------------------------------------- The technical program features two key-note speeches: from Roberto Cencioni (Head of Unit INFSO E2, EC) and Albert Gauthier (DG Information Society, EC) on the 7th Work program and the EU IST vision and from Leonardo Chiariglione on future standards on mobile multimedia. The conference will also include invited panels, to facilitate for exchanging ideas and discussion, and specific sessions and workshops on focused interest areas. Submissions of proposals on workshops and special sessions on emerging topics are invited. Please submit proposals to Technical Program Chairs and Workshop Chairs.
