=============================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE SECON 2006

Third Annual IEEE Communications Society Conference on Sensor, Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks

Hyatt Regency, Reston, VA, USA September 25-28, 2006

Paper submissions due (via EDAS): * Extended to: * April 6, 2006 (Abstract/title registration) * Extended to: * April 12, 2006 (Full paper)

http://www.ieee-secon.org/2006/index.html ================================================================

The third annual IEEE SECON conference will provide a unique forum to exchange ideas, techniques, and applications, discuss best practices, raise awareness, and share experiences among researchers, practitioners, standard developers and policy makers in the field of sensor, ad hoc, and mesh networks and systems. IEEE SECON grew out of IEEE INFOCOM (http://www.ieee-infocom.org) in 2004, in order to create an event that focused on the important and exciting topics of Sensor, Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks.

The conference will be organized to provide for collegiality and continuity in the discussions of the various topics among participants from the industrial, governmental and academic sectors.

Original technical papers that address the communications, networking, applications, systems and algorithmic aspects of mesh and sensor networks, as well as those that describe practical deployment and implementation experiences are solicited for presentation at the conference and publication in the conference proceedings. Papers presenting novel contributions in such disciplines as communications, networking protocols and architectures, algorithms, embedded systems, middleware and information management, and novel applications are solicited.

PAPERS:

Full papers - describing original, previously unpublished research work, experimental efforts, practical experiences, and industrial and commercial developments in sensor, ad hoc, and mesh communications and networks - are solicited. Papers with a deep focus on a specific discipline or stimulated by the synergistic interaction of diverse disciplines are encouraged. Papers describing practical application of technology to real-world problems are similarly encouraged. Papers submitted should not be concurrently under review at another conference, journal or similar venue.

Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* New architectures and protocols to support communication, localization, time synchronization, routing, data dissemination, and other distributed services in heterogeneous, large-scale distributed, mesh networks and sensor networks

* Novel algorithms and theories for management, supervisory control, and monitoring of distributed ad hoc networks, and techniques for the interpretation and use of sensor data in decision-making processes

* Modeling and performance evaluation of large-scale distributed ad hoc and sensor networks, practical implementations and deployments, and real-world experiences

* Theories and models on fundamental information and communication aspects of wireless mesh and sensor networks

* Mechanisms for authenticated, secure communication and data dissemination in sensor and mesh networks

* Algorithms and protocols to support quality of service in mesh and sensor networks, including admission control, resource allocation and fairness, and capacity planning

* Integration of sensors into engineered systems, including novel techniques for on-sensor renewable power sources, mechanisms for on-sensor self-calibration and self-testing, and efficient schemes to maximize accuracy and minimize false alarms

* Hardware platforms incorporating multiple sensors, computation, actuation, and wireless interfaces

* Software platforms, middleware, and tools for mesh and sensor network applications development, deployment, and management

PANELS:

Proposals for panels on current topics in the field of ad hoc and sensor networking and applications are solicited. Panels related to the commercial application and development of sensors and mesh networks are especially encouraged.

POSTERS, DEMOS AND EXPO:

IEEE SECON 2006 will include poster/demonstration sessions that shall provide a forum to present and discuss: works in progress, industry demonstrations of new applications and techniques, practical implementations, industrial and commercial developments, research testbeds and demonstrations, recent research/implementation results, upcoming research challenges, future directions, and novel approaches in the fields of sensor, mesh and ad hoc communications and networks. One of the key goals of this conference is to foster collaboration between industry and academia. Hence, participation of researchers/developers from industry and posters/demostrations reporting joint work between industry and academia are especially encouraged.

Submissions should be in the form of a proposal describing the main contributions of the poster/demo and the merits of the proposed ideas. If available, preliminary results can also be included. Proposals will be evaluated mainly based on their potential to stimulate interesting discussions, exchange of ideas and promote collaborations.

Submissions should not be more than three pages (preferably IEEE conference format, 2-column) in length. Demonstration submissions should include the space requirements and/or any other equipment-specific requirements. The documents must contain the authors' names, affiliations, and contact information and the designated corresponding author.

Accepted authors of posters/demos will have a space in the poster/demo session room to display their posters or exhibit their demos and describe their work in discussions with interested attendees.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

All paper submissions will be handled electronically through the EDAS system. Details regarding the paper format and the submission process can be found at http://www.ieee-secon.org/2006/index.html.

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. IEEE Communications Society policy states that all accepted SECON 2006 papers must have at least one registration at the regular rate. For authors co-authoring multiple papers, one regular registration is valid for up to three papers.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Paper registration: April 6, 2006, by 5pm EDT Full Paper Submission: April 12, 2006, by 5pm EDT Decision Notification: June 15, 2006, by 5pm EDT Camera-ready paper due: July 7, 2006, by 5pm EDT

Panel proposals due: May 1, 2006, by 5pm EDT Demo proposals due: June 1, 2006, by 5pm EDT Poster proposals due: June 30, 2006, by 5pm EDT
