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).

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.
Acceptance Notification: July 11, 2004

Dear Ioannis,
once more I would like to thank you for the excellent organisation of
the TC6 meeting.
In the case that you have not yet finished the Viennese owl puzzle you
will find in the attachment a hint how it should look like.
Best greetings from Vienna
Günter
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
Dear friends,
The Conferencia Latinoamericana de Estudios en Inforamtica CLEI2004 will
be held in Arequipa (Peru) between September 27 and October 1.
Those of you interested in giving a tutorial and, eventually, an invited
talk, please let me know in order to inform the organisers about the
possible choice. This year IFIP TC6 is just funding the travel of one
tutorialist.
I need for each tutorial:
- the title
- objectives and outline
- duration
- short CV of the tutorialist
The stay expenses will be covered by the local organisers.
Best regards
Ramon
