CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE International Conference on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous, and Trustworthy Computing (SUTC2008)

June 11-13, 2008, Taichung, Taiwan

Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society

Conference http://SUTC2008.csie.ncu.edu.tw

The rapid research and technological advances in wireless communications and increasing availability of sensors, actuators, and mobile devices have created an exciting new ubiquitous computing paradigm that facilitates computing and communication services all the time, everywhere. This emerging paradigm is changing the way we live and work today. Via a ubiquitous infrastructure consisting of a variety of global and localized networks, users, sensors, devices, systems and applications may seamlessly interact with each other and even the physical world in unprecedented ways. To realize this continually evolving ubiquitous computing paradigm, trustworthy computing that delivers secure, private, and reliable computing and communication services plays an essential role.

The IEEE International Conference on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous, and Trustworthy Computing (SUTC2008) is an international forum for researchers to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of the art and practice of sensor networks, ubiquitous and trustworthy computing, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and define the future of sensor networks, ubiquitous and trustworthy computing. The technical program of SUTC2008 will consist of invited talks, paper presentations, and panel discussions. A number of best papers presented in the conference will be selected for possible publication in a special issue of journals.

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, and trustworthy computing:

* Applications (novel use cases, deployment experience) * Algorithms and Protocols (topology, coverage, routing, distributed coordination) * Data Management and Processing (gathering, storage, fusion, dissemination) * Deployment, Testing, and Debugging * Design and Programming Methodologies * 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) * Networking Technologies (ad hoc networks, personal area networks) * Operating Systems and Middleware * Privacy * Protocol Design, Modeling, and Implementation Experiences * QoS aspects * Reliability * Security (authentication, access control, intrusion detection and tolerance) * Social Issues * System and Network Architectures * Trust (establishment, negotiation, management) * User Interface Technologies

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).

Proposal Submission

The conference also invites proposals for panels, demos, tutorials, and workshops. (detailed submission instructions will be made available on the conference homepage).
