_____________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
A wide spectrum of applications and services is currently being
developed and designed to be built on top of various heterogeneous
and significantly challenging network architectures such as wireless
mesh, mobile ad hoc and wireless sensor/actor networks. These
heterogeneous wireless communication architectures are mainly
characterized by heterogeneous and resource-constrained nodes,
restricted communication channels,highly dynamic environments,lack of
any fixed infrastructure, and large scale network deployments that
strongly vary in their density.These features and challenges,in turn,
mandate intelligent, adaptive, autonomic,coordinated,self-organizing,
and efficient processing and communication approaches to handle the
complexity of these ambitious wireless systems.
The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts.
Natural biological systems intrinsically possess and exploit similar
features by providing elegant and extremely efficient solutions for
the challenges and tasks faced in their natural operation. It is of

the recent advances in the area of biologically-inspired computing
and communication in heterogeneous wireless architectures such as
wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor
and actor networks. Papers describing mathematical models,algorithms,
protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of
computing and communication architectures that are inspired by and
derived from biological systems are solicited for this special issue.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools

IPSN 2007 Workshop
Data Sharing and Interoperability on the World-wide Sensor Web (DSI'07)
(http://research.microsoft.com/~sumann/DSI07)
April 24, 2007, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
(co-located with IPSN 2007, http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~lu/ipsn07.html)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Over the last five years, the research community supporting embedded
sensing has benefited from the experiences of numerous real-world
deployments. Actual scientific applications are on the rise, and a
number of new environmental observatories are moving from planning to
implementation (NEON, WATERS). In parallel, we have seen an expansion
in the use smartphones and other consumer devices, supported by the
cellular network and capable of capturing acoustics and images,
creating a host of citizen-initiated sensing projects (e.g.,
videothevote.org).
While many algorithms for networking and control of embedded sensing
platforms anticipate within-deployment scaling of observational
resources, the introduction of diverse environmental observatories and
the variety of new urban applications suggests that interoperability,
and for the purpose of this workshop the ``sharing" of data and
models, represents another, equally important, kind of scaling. In
this workshop, we focus directly on the implications of widely shared
sensor data, models and algorithms, and the systems that might support
this.
Simply put, data is the raison d'etre of any sensing exercise. While
few researchers in the field would argue the point, too much attention
has been paid to the networking of distributed sensing and not enough
emphasis has been placed on the tools to manage, share, analyze, and
understand the data. Hosted in coordination with IPSN (emphasizing
algorithms for communications, coding theory, and distributed
estimation) and SPOTS (focusing on hardware and complete platforms),
this workshop will examine the various uses of data associated with
embedded sensing.
Topics of interest (but not limited to):
- Data interoperability
- Data Semantics
- Extracting information from data and sensor data fusion
- Managing data uncertainty
- Systems for data integrity
- Modeling sensor data
- Managing spatial and temporal data (e.g., indexing, caching,
query processing, etc.)
- Automated or semi-automated processing of ad-hoc sensor data
- Architecture to connect multiple sensor deployments together
- Data visualization
- Mash-up applications (the ability to pull in data/tools from
multiple places and render it at a client) and workflows
Submissions:
Authors are requested to submit original papers of no more than
6 pages (standard IEEE proceedings two-column format),
including figures, tables, and references in PDF that include
contact information of all the authors. If you have any
questions regarding the submission process, please send e-mail

Nanjing, China, May 22-25, 2007
Over the years data is being collected and stored at an unprecedented rate
in almost all fields of human endeavor from scientific research to
economic activities. To achieve efficient mining of useful information
from the data available, parallel hardware platforms, clusters and
large-scale distributed computing infrastructures, such as computational
grid and peer-to-peer systems, are widely used by data mining communities.
This also poses challenges on the design of parallel and distributed
algorithms for data mining. HPDMA'07 will address high performance data
mining methods and applications from both algorithmic and system
perspectives. HPDMA07 will be held at Nanjing, one of the oldest and most
beautiful cities in China, in conjunction with PAKDD07.
TOPICS: We welcome original papers on all aspects of high performance data
mining. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Parallel or distributed mining
Cluster-based data mining algorithms and systems
Grid-based data mining algorithms and systems
Peer-to-Peer based data mining algorithms and systems
Data mining algorithms and systems based on parallel hardware platforms,
including shared-memory systems (SMPs), distributed-memory systems, etc.
Resource and location aware data mining algorithms and systems
Data mining in mobile and ad hoc environments
Data mining in sensor networks
Data mining in distributed security and privacy
High performance stream data mining and management
Integration of mining with databases and data warehousing
Applications of parallel and distributed data mining in business, science,
engineering, medicine, and other disciplines.

Thus maybe 30 percent (or more?) of TC6 delegates will be able to understand. I apologize.
