Request for WG 6.9 by Ana Pont Sanjuan

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, Ana Pont Sanjuan (WG 6.9 chair) requests 3.000 EURO from the IFIP TC6 funds for 2006 in order to support a workshop "women and ICT" which would be held in conjunction with WCC 2006 in Santiago de Chile. See below. I wait for your comments on this request until the end of this week, i.e. until January 20, 2006). Best regards Otto --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Email from Ana Pont Sanjuan: Dear Otto, As I informed you in some previous e-mails Klaus Brunnstein and other people from WCC suggested me to organize an event jointly the WCC2006 about "Women and ICT: Education and Employment Issues & Opportunities in Developing Countries". I personally think that it is a good idea that can perfectly fit in WG 6.9, for many different reasons: This event is proposed as a part of the WCC 2006 that is mainly sponsored and organized by IFIP 1. Despite Chile probably will leave the group of developing countries in a near future still we can consider it into this group. 2. The event is proposed in two parts: - Women and ICT (conference) - Women and ICT: Education and Employment Issues & Opportunities in Developing Countries (panel discussion) 3. TC6 can obtain wide visibility not only related to the scientific and technique topics it covers but also in all the areas participating in WCC. <> And considering that: - Practically all the countries in Latin America (were the WCC is hold) are developing countries - Women's activities are a big contribution in the economy of D.C. - ICT are a fantastic opportunity for Women employment in all countries because they permit e-work and reconcile the professional activity with the family <> I would like to organize this event under the sponsorship of 6.9. The economical support of HP has been required since they have sponsored similar events in other countries. <> We will also need some financial support form TC6 in order to invite significant women that can give some conferences or participate in a panel. A budget of 3000 € will be very useful to help in the organization. <> Would you be so kind to take into account this proposal and distribute it in the TC6 list if you considered it convenient? Best regards and all the best for 2006 Ana

CFP: Special Issue on "Recent Advances in Wireless Sensor Networks, " Ad Hoc Networks (Elsevier) Journal

von Eylem Ekici

[Our apologies if you receive multiple copies] ================================================== = Call for Papers = = = = AD HOC NETWORKS (ELSEVIER) JOURNAL = = = = Special Issue on = = = = "RECENT ADVANCES IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS" = = = = http://www.elsevier.com/locate/adhoc/ = ================================================== Guest Editors: Eylem EKICI, Ohio State University Leonard KLEINROCK, UCLA Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are proposed to observe remote and inhospitable areas at close range. In recent years, WSN applications based on simple sense-and-send type operations are replaced by more sophisticated applications that require guarantees from WSNs in communication and information processing. While service guarantees in wireless ad hoc networks have been researched in the past, these solutions cannot be directly applied to WSNs due to limited resource environment and large scale of WSNs. Solutions developed for WSNs must not only cater to the requirements of applications, but also conserve valuable energy resources of sensor nodes, be adaptive to unexpected changes, and operate in loose coordination with the rest of the network. These requirements also highlight the need for cross-layer design and interactions between sensor hardware, protocol layers, and application middleware. This special issue is dedicated to recent advances in the area of wireless sensor networks. Papers describing protocols, models, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of WSNs are solicited for this special issue. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - WSN cross-layer protocol suites - Real-time communication in WSNs - Protocols for application-level service guarantees for WSNs - WSN capacity modeling and analysis - Application modeling for WSNs - Application admission methods for WSNs - Joint data processing and communication solutions for WSNs - Fault-tolerant communication and data processing in WSNs - Topology control and network reconfiguration - Localization, synchronization, and mobility - Security issues, solutions, and models - Novel WSN architectures and applications - Experimental and testbed studies of WSNs Submission Instructions: ------------------------ Full papers must be submitted in PDF format by e-mail to ekici(a)ece.osu.edu. Papers must be formatted in single-column format, double-spaced, and use at least 11pt fonts. Papers must not exceed 25 pages including references.
