*************** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION **********************
ISWCS 2005
2nd International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems
http://www.iswcs.org/iswcs2005
5 - 7 September 2005, Siena, Italy
*************** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION **********************
The Technical Program includes 100 full papers and 33 poster papers. Out of 252 submissions, the Technical Program Committee worked very diligently and professionally in the selection of the final papers, with at least three reviews for each submitted contribution. The Program is structured in three parallel tracks and 5 sessions per track, with a total of 15 sessions. The three tracks represent key areas in wireless communications, namely: wireless network layer; radio channel modulation and coding, and; wireless network applications. The session topics (and the paper contributions) are very indicative of current research interests in the wireless field. Please find more information with regards to the technical program at the following URL: http://www.iswcs.org/iswcs2005/plan_technical_sessions_ISWCS_2005.pdf
Posters represent work in progress and have been given a very visible role (and an important slot) in the program. In fact, the poster presentations will follow immediately the Plenary Session on the morning of Sept 7. We expect active discussion around posters and interaction with authors. The panel will precede the social dinner on Sept 6 - it will be addressing the very timely and, in many aspects still controversial topic, entitled "Towards a wireless and ubiquitous information society". The panelists comprise of researchers from IBM, Harris Corporation, Alcatel, KDDI R&D Lab, among others.
We have been very lucky to secure two well known and esteemed researchers in the wireless community - Dr Victor Bahl, Microsoft Research and Prof Dharma P. Agrawal, University of Cincinnati - as keynote and plenary speakers respectively. Dr Bahl talk "Bridging the Information Divide: Challenges & Opportunities" will touch a very critical problem created by the Internet today and will describe how wireless technologies will enable ubiquitous connectivity and services connecting rural villages in remote areas using a programmable mobile platform. Prof Agrawal talk, entitled "Why use Aggregate Logical Sensor Units for large Sensor Networks?", will address a critical area of sensor networks - tight energy constraints. Dr Agrawal will show that such constraints can be relaxed by aggregating off the shelf sensors into logical units that support the desired functions.

Journal of Computer Communications
(http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comcom)
Special Issue on ?Sensor-Actuator Networks (SANETs)?
Sensor-Actuator NETworks (SANETs) are comprised of networked sensor and actuator
nodes that communicate among each other using wireless links to perform
distributed sensing and actuation tasks. The recent few years have witnessed an
increasing interest in the potential use of SANETs in many applications ranging
from healthcare to warfare. In these applications, sensors are engaged in
gathering information about the physical environment, while actuators are
involved in taking decisions and then performing appropriate actions in the
area of interest. This enables SANETs to provide remote sensing and actuation
services to their users.
SANETs are heterogeneous networks having widely differing sensor and actuator
node characteristics; while sensor nodes are small, inexpensive, usually static
devices with limited computation, communication and energy resources, actuator
nodes are resource-rich and usually mobile. Also, the number of sensor nodes
deployed may be in the order of hundreds or thousands. In contrast, actuator
nodes are smaller in number due to the different coverage requirements and
physical interaction methods of actuation. Typically, a deployed SANET is
expected to operate autonomously in unattended environments. Operational
requirements of SANETs may vary according to a network?s mission defined over
a multi-dimensional context, such as field of deployment (e.g., hostile versus
friendly), type of application (e.g., monitoring, tracking, intrusion detection
and mitigation), mode of operation (e.g., normal, exception, post-event
recovery), and time. In SANETs, depending on the application, there may be a
need to rapidly respond to sensor input. Moreover, so as to provide right
actions, sensor data must still be valid at the time of acting. Consequently,
the issues of real-time communication and coordination are vital in SANETs.
Finally, to
realize their potential, dependable, secure, application-aware design and
operation of SANETs have to be ensured.
Apparently, research is needed to resolve the many complicating issues that may
impede wide-scale SANET adoption. This special issue of the Journal of Computer
Communications will be designated for reporting on recent research results on
SANETs. It is expected that non-conventional techniques more suited to the
characteristics of SANETs need to be employed. Also, in many cases trade-off
would be necessary in order to ensure practicality by dynamically setting
bounds on aspects such as dependability, security, and QoS. Papers presenting
original and unpublished work are being solicited.
Topics of interest include, although not limited to, the following:
* Sensor-actuator coordination and communication
* Architectural and operational models
* Robust routing and MAC protocols
* Fault and attack resilience middleware
* Models, metrics and measurements
* Self-aware and autonomous networks
* Localization and mobility
* Energy-efficient cross-layer protocols
* Security, dependability, privacy and QoS issues
* Network management
* Formal representation and verification
* Network inference (tomography, etc.)
* Testbeds, simulation and visualization
* Novel applications of sensor and actuator networks
Important dates:
* Submission deadline: February 15 , 2006 Decision notification: May 15, 2006
* Final manuscript due: July 31, 2006 Publication date: 1st Quarter 2007
Submission instructions: Prospective authors should submit their paper and
inquiries electronically to toweissy(a)vt.edu. The manuscript should not exceed
30 double-space pages in PDF. The manuscript should be in a single column font
size 11 or larger format. The first page should include title, authors?

Submission deadline: July 22nd, 2005
SCOPE:
Wireless ad hoc, sensor, along with ubiquitous networks have recently
witnessed their fastest growth period ever in history, and this trend is
likely to continue for the foreseeable future. However, as such networks
become increasingly complex, performance modelling and evaluation will
play a crucial part in their design process to ensure their successful
deployment and exploitation in practice.
This workshop will bring together scientists, engineers, and
practitioners to share and exchange their experiences,
discuss challenges, and report state-of-the-art and in-progress research
on all aspects of wireless ad hoc, sensor,
and ubiquitous networks with a specific emphasis on their performance
evaluation and analysis.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Predictive performance models of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous
networks
* Performance measurement and monitoring tools
* Tracing and trace analysis
* Simulation
* Analytical modeling
* Software tools for network performance and evaluation
* Automatic performance analysis
* Performance comparison
* Performance of wireless and sensor devices
* RF channel capacity modeling and analysis
* Mobility modeling and management
* Traffic models for ad hoc, sensor networks
* Probabilistic models for ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks
* Improvement in network performance through optimization and tuning
* Evaluation of multimedia over wireless ad hoc networks.
* Evaluation of QoS provisioning in ad hoc and sensor networks
* Evaluation of pervasive and ubiquitous computing
* Performance tools for ad hoc, sensor and ubiquitous networks.
* Performance and security issues in ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous
networks
* Performance and power management control
* Case studies demonstrating the role of performance evaluation in the
design of ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks
