CFPforSANPA04: DEADLINE EXTENDED to JUNE 7, 2004: 2nd International Workshop on Sensor and Actor Network Protocols and Applications
by Ozgur Baris Akan 31 May '04

31 May '04

********************************************************************** Due to many requests SUBMISSION DEADLINE is EXTENDED to : JUNE 7, 2004 ********************************************************************** We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SANPA 2004 Second International Workshop on Sensor and Actor Network Protocols and Applications August 22, 2004 Boston, Massachusetts, USA in Conjunction with MobiQuitous 2004 *EXTENDED* Submission Deadline: JUNE 7, 2004 http://www.sanpa.org Call For Papers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope: Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs) are fast emerging as a new sensing paradigm based on the collaborative effort of large number of sensors deployed close to or inside the phenomenon to be observed, and have the potential of providing diverse services to numerous applications. The realization of WSANs require intensive technical research efforts especially in power aware scalable wireless ad hoc communications protocols due to their unusual application requirements and unique constraints such as the following: - WSANs are generally composed of large number of sensor nodes that have limited computational and storage capacity. - In many applications, sensor nodes can be randomly scattered in unreachable regions. - The sensed phenomenon must be acted on by the actor nodes in field in a timely and accurate manner. - The lifetime of a sensor network is generally limited to the battery lifetime of sensor nodes. SANPA 2004 is intended to provide a forum for researchers to present their contributions as technical papers related to communication protocols for WSANs, data management, access, aggregation and fusion techniques, and sensor network applications. SANPA 2004 will continue and build upon the success of SNPA 2003 (held in conjunction with ICC 2003). The papers solicited in SANPA 2004 cover a variety of topics including but not limited to: - Communication protocols for Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks at all layers - Novel sensor/actor network applications and services - Self organizing and scalable sensor/actor network architectures - Software platforms and tools for sensor/actor network application development - Energy efficient medium access control, error control, and traffic management protocols - Energy efficient system services such as localization and time synchronization - Robust distributed algorithms for collaborative processing - Mechanisms, protocols and algorithms for authenticated, secure communication - Application specific network and system services, including data-centric routing, attribute based addressing and location management - Data querying and dissemination - Data compression, association, aggregation and fusion Submission Instructions: The papers should confirm with the MobiQuitous paper format (www.mobiquitous.org) and can be up to 11 pages long. Authors should submit a PDF version of their paper to sanpa(a)ece.gatech.edu. For more information about the workshop, see http://www.sanpa.org/. Papers of particular merit will be published in the Ad Hoc Networks Journal (Elsevier Science).

[Sincere apologies for possible multiple copies of this message] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First International Workshop on Broadband Wireless Multimedia: Algorithms, Architectures and Applications (BroadWIM) co-located with BroadNets 2004 (http://www.broadnets.org) Friday, October 29, 2004 San Jose, California, USA http://www.broadwim.org CALL FOR PAPERS The emergence and adoption of broadband wireless access standards, such as 802.16, 802.16a and 802.11a, offers exciting new possibilities for delivering rich multimedia content over the "last mile". The workshop is intended to present and discuss new architectures for delivering such rich media over single-hop or mesh broadband wireless architectures. It also focuses on the algorithms and protocols needed to integrate the application layer requirements, such as QoS, security etc. with the base functionality offered by the standardized 802.16/11 and other WLAN and WWAN interfaces. Of particular interest are practical case studies, demonstrations or pilots of innovative techniques for delivering a variety of multimedia content over such broadband local or metropolitan wireless networks. Preliminary results on interesting ideas and techniques are more welcome than detailed analysis of existing schemes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * System Prototypes and Experiences with Broadband Multimedia Delivery * IP-based Multimedia Services over WLANs and WMANs * Signaling for Converged Multimedia Applications * QoS for Real-time Voice and Video in Broadband Wireless Networks * Encoding Alternatives for Multi-media Streams * Video/Audio Distribution Architectures in Broadband WLANs and WMANs * Multicasting and Broadcasting Problems and Solutions * Caching and Content Management in WLANs and WMANs * Algorithms for Controlling Delay and Jitter in Broadband Channels * Integration of Broadband Wireless and WPANs/WBANs * Wireless Broadband Multimedia over Sensor Networks * Multimedia delivery for broadband vehicular networks * Multimedia services for Ambient Intelligent and Pervasive Environments PAPERS SUBMISSION Papers should be written in English and should not exceed approximately 5000 words, including figures and references. (Each figure counts as 250 words). For the initial submissions, the papers should be in double-spaced, single-column format with a separate abstract of at most 250 words. Papers should be submitted in PDF format through the Colibri' system (http://cnd1.iit.cnr.it/broadwim04). All papers will be peer reviewed. Papers of particular merit will be considered for a special issue of a reputed journal. Submission Deadline: June 15, 2004.

Calendar + Delegate List
by Otto Spaniol 27 May '04

27 May '04

Dear all, please find enclosed - the new TC6 calendar of events - the updated delegate list. WG chairpersons: Please check "your" events and send me some modifications (if necessary). There is a very "surprising" new element in the list, namely an IFIP TC6 Workshop on "Broadband Satellite Communication Systems and the Challenge of Mobility" to be held in conjunction with the World Computer Congress in Toulouse (August 23-26, 2004). I learned about this event when I received a Kluwer editors agreement (editors are Thierry Gayraud, Michel Mazzella, Fernando Pedro Lopes Boavida Fernandes, Edmundo Heitor da Silva Monteiro, and Gilberto da Matos Orvalho; I don't know them and probably they have not been visible in TC6 before). The agreement had already the signature of Jean-Claude Laprie (WCC chair) and of Klaus Brunnstein (IFIP president). Please forgive me that I didn't want to provoke a scandal (since the procedure is indeed inacceptable) but that I signed the agreement. I believe that it will be a good activity but of course we should have been informed before - in particular since TC6 is quite reluctant to participate in WCC's. At least WG's 6.1, 6.2 and 6.8 should have been asked whether they would like to contribute. I asked IFIP secretariat about that but they couldn't give me more information until now. Please feel free to comment on that story. Best regards Otto
