Call for papers: IEEE SUTC 2010

The Third IEEE Intl. Conf. on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous, and Trustworthy Computing

June 7-9, 2010 Hyatt Regency Newport Beach Newport Beach, California, USA http://sutc2010.eecs.uci.edu

The availability of small, low-cost, and low-power sensors, radios, and microcontrollers has triggered a huge wave of research in networked embedded sensing systems. As a result, different research communities have emerged that work on related aspects, but have slightly different foci. A focus of the sensor network community is on energy-efficient systems and networking solutions. While these aspects are also fundamental for ubiquitous computing, a focus of the latter community is on user interaction. The currently emerging cyber-physical systems community emphasizes the integration of actuation and control. Despite these differences, the realization of the above visions involves a common fundamental challenge: The need for trustworthy computing solutions to deliver secure, private, and reliable computing and communication services.

The aim of the IEEE International Conference on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous, and Trustworthy Computing (SUTC 2010) is to bring together the above communities to exchange latest results, to join efforts in solving the common challenges, but also to contrast the developments in the different communities. To support this goal, the conference will feature several (serial) tracks devoted to sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, and cyber-physical systems, as well as tracks devoted to common themes such as pervasive services and data management, embedded networking, and trustworthy computing. In addition, the conference features invited talks and panel discussions.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Submissions of high quality papers describing mature results or on-going work are invited. Topics for submission include, but are not limited to the following aspects of sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, cyber-physical systems, and trustworthy computing:

- Applications (novel use cases, deployment experience, ...) - Algorithms and Protocols (topology, coverage, routing, timesync, distributed coordination, ...) - Data Management and Processing (gathering, storage, fusion, dissemination, ...) - Deployment, Testing, and Debugging - Design and Programming Methodologies - Distributed Sensing, Actuation, and Control - Energy management - Embedded processors, sensors, and actuators - Management aspects (configuration, adaptation, healing, ...) - Mobility, Location, and Context - Modeling and Performance Evaluation (simulation, complexity analysis, user studies, ...) - Operating Systems, Services, and Middleware - Privacy - QoS aspects - Reliability - Security (authentication, access control, intrusion detection and tolerance, ...) - Social Issues - System and Network Architectures - Trust (establishment, negotiation, management, ...) - User Interface Technologies - Wireless Communication and Networks (ad hoc networks, personal area networks, ...)

PAPER SUBMISSION

The conference solicits original and previously unpublished research and industrial papers. Submissions should be prepared in IEEE conference proceedings format, up to 8 pages in two-column, no less than 10 pt font and uploaded in pdf at the conference submission site (detailed submission instructions will be made available on the conference homepage).
