Call for Papers for
*WWASN2014*: From Wireless Sensor Networks to Cyber-Physical Systems Eleventh International workshop, held in conjunction with the ICDCS 2014 The 34th Int. Conf. Distr. Comp. Sys., Madrid, Spain, June-July 2014
Wireless sensor network and related organization, communication, and optimization techniques are experiencing renewed interest in the context of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), which is an umbrella term that refers to the integration of computation, communication, and control processes executed by billions of networked devices, including sensors, actuators, smart user devices, autonomic devices, and others. Also, CPS are envisaged as one of the enabling technologies for the development and implementation of Smart Grids. Successful design, development, and deployment of CPS pose a number of novel problems that need to be resolved through innovative research with immediate practical significance. In addition, many of the solutions that have been successfully developed and utilized in various areas of communications are simply rendered ineffective by the sheer scale and other aspects of CPS, and creative re-development of new solutions specifically tailored to address them is needed.
This workshop covers communication aspects of sensor, actuator, Internet-of-Things, and networks used to implement Cyber-Physical Systems in general. The range of topics includes all relevant issues from architecture to applications, at all levels of granularity from physical up to application aspects. Research results dealing with policy, human interface, and other relevant technologies will be welcome as well. The overarching goal is to provide a premier venue for dissemination, discussion, and refinement of research results pertaining to all communication-related aspects of Cyber-Physical Systems and related technologies.
Submitted articles will be carefully reviewed for quality and relevance. Each article will be reviewed by experts of the same topic. In the selection process, a comprehensive coverage will be sought, covering the most important topics such as (but not limited to):
- Architecture and design of large scale CPS - Self-organization and self-management of CPS networks - Advanced communication models, protocols, and technologies for CPS - Application development and deployment in CPS environment - Big data in CPS: collection, management, query, and inference - Pervasive and wearable computing - Reliability and redundancy issues in CPS networks - Security, privacy, and trust in CPS networks - Energy efficiency and the development of scalable energy-efficient protocols and technologies - Methods and tools for modeling, analysis, and simulation of large scale CPS networks - Novel applications with sensors, actuators, smart phones, robots, and other wireless mobile devices
Selected best papers will be invited for publication in a special issue of Ad Hoc & Sensor Wireless Networkshttp://www.oldcitypublishing.com/AHSWN/AHSWN.html journal.
*Submission details*
Papers should be submitted via email<wkui@ieee.org,%20vmisic@scs.ryerson.ca?subject=WWASN2014%20submission>. Papers should be submitted as PDF files, using the IEEE Computer Society proceedings or equivalent format (two column, 10 point, single-spaced, US Letter, no margin smaller than one inch). Include an abstract, five to ten keywords, technical area(s) most relevant to your paper, and the corresponding author's e-mail address. Number each page in the manuscript. There is no page limit for the initial submission; page limit for the final, camera-ready copy will be determined by the publisher.
IMPORTANT: For each accepted paper, authors will be required to submit at least one full registration for the ICDCS2014 conference. Accepted papers supported by at least one full registration will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press as part of the proceedings of ICDCS'2014 workshops.
