######################################################## Call for Papers Workshop onReal-Time Wireless Networking for Industrial Applications -> RealWiN 2012 <- http://www.performance.rwth-aachen.de/realwin April 16th 2012, Beijing, China as part of CPS Week 2012

Submission Deadline: January 9th 2012

#### Scope: ##########

During the last 20 years the development of wireless networks has been driven mainly by the demand for more bandwidth. This demand has been necessitated by the human desire for information and communication. Hence, wireless networks have been designed to serve mainly Internet best-effort traffic as well as delay-sensitive voice and video applications. Besides this, we have also witnessed research into new network paradigms like Mobile Ad hoc Networks and Wireless Mesh Networks which serve the same types of traffic in general.

Recently, the vision of an Internet of Things has become more and more a reality. Wireless sensor networks and Machine-to-Machine networking connect resource-constrained and likely battery-powered devices such as sensors and actuators with each other and with control units. For example, recent years have witnessed the adoption of wireless sensor-actuator networks as a communication infrastructure for industrial applications such as process monitoring and control. Open industrial standards such as WirelessHART have shown promise through commercial products and system deployments in real-world industrial environments.However, industrial and process control have substantially more stringent requirements in terms of reliability, real-time, security and networked control performance than even time-critical best-effort applications like Voice-Over-IP have.

This workshop will provide an open forum for academic and industrial researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in this important area. The focus is on 'soft' real time requirements as well as on 'hard' real-time requirements potentially with very low latencies. The workshop cross-cuts the diverse areas associated with CPS Week including real-time systems (RTAS), wireless sensor networks (IPSN), control (HSCC), and the integration of them in cyber-physical systems (ICCPS). We are also soliciting contributions form industrial partners highlighting case studies, measurements, experiences from applications etc.

In particular, the following topics are of interest (not limiting other contributions in the considered direction):

* Physical layer design * Medium access control and interference management * Real-time scheduling algorithms and analysis * Routing and transport for guaranteed delay networking * Theoretical bounds, performance models and evaluation * Prototypes/ testbeds and implementation aspects of real-time operation * Application scenarios and requirements * Challenges, vision and architecture for real-time wireless networks * Software stacks for hard real-time wireless networking * Fault-tolerance and redundancy issues * Control over wireless sensor-actuator networks * Control and wireless network co-design for cyber-physical systems * Case studies, measurements and experiences from industrial deployments
