Resignation of Giancarlo Prati
by Otto Spaniol 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Dear all, I regret that I have to inform you that Giancarlo Prati (TC6 delegate from Italy) has resigned. See attached letter. I would like to thank Giancarlo for his cntributions in his (all too short) presence in TC6 as Italian delegate. Giancalro proposed a name of a possible successor. I hereby ask Dr. Arrigo Frisiani (who gets a copy of the resignment letter) to initiate a corresponding action as soon as possible. It is pobvious that the proposed name is only a recommendation - even it appears to be very suitable at least from a gender perspective - and the Italian member society is fully free to make a nomination. The ctive participation from Italy is of extreme importance to IFIP TC6 since a lot of events have been held in this country and others are scheduled for the near or medium term future. Best regards Otto

CFP: Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks (Workshop at the 2006 IFIP Networking Conference)
by Utz Roedig 21 Feb '06

21 Feb '06

Call for Papers -------------------------------------------------- Performance Control in Wireless Sensor Networks, a Workshop at the 2006 IFIP Networking Conference. -------------------------------------------------- Please apologise cross/multiple posting, and please feel free to distribute this CfP further. Networking 2006 will take place at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, between May 15 and May 19. Detailed information ==================== http://www.cs.ucc.ie/~ur1/networking2006/ http://networking2006.dei.uc.pt/workshops.htm Important Dates =============== March 17th, 2006 Papers due April 10th, 2006 Notification of acceptance April 17th, 2006 Camera ready papers due Goal and Overview ================== The Performance Control in WirelessSensor Networks Workshop will be a half-day, peer-reviewed workshop on Friday, May 19, 2006. The aim of the workshop is to bring together professionals from academia and industry to discuss performance issues in wireless sensor networks. The focus of the workshop will be on work in progress. Call for Papers =============== Wireless sensor networks are currently the subject of intense research and many prototype installations are currently investigated. These existing sensor network installations have in common that they are not considered time critical. No immediate action has to be undertaken as a response to the received data. However, many future application areas of wireless sensor networks such as plant automation and control, traffic management or medical applications require this feature. In such environments, data has to be transported reliable and in time through the sensor network. In other words, performance guarantees regarding a variety of network parameters are required. Due to the lack of appropriate models, components and protocols it is currently very difficult to construct and operate a wireless sensor network with a controlled performance. Thus, the commercial success of wireless sensor networks in many application areas is unsure unless this particular problem is understood and solved. Topics of Interest Include: =========================== This workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners, working on performance issues within wireless sensor networks. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Models: Traffic models, channel models, mathematical models to balance performance parameters in the network. * MAC protocols: MAC protocols with deterministic behavior, MAC protocols to balance forwarding performance and energy consumption. * Routing and topology control: Methods to stabilize network topology, topology robustness. * Data transport: Control of data transport delay and reliability, methods to improve data forwarding performance in sensor networks. * Operating systems: Performance optimization and control of sensor network operating systems. * Middleware and frameworks: Middleware/frameworks providing performance guarantees for sensor network applications. * Security: The impact of security features on network performance. Paper Submissions: ================== The paper can report on work in progress. The size of the paper should not exceed 8 pages (Please adhere to the formatting standard for a manuscript of the Springer-Verlag LNCS). The cover page must contain an abstract of about 150 words 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal address. Authors of accepted papers are expected to register and present the paper at the Workshop. Paper submission procedures will be announced on: http://www.cs.ucc.ie/~ur1/networking2006/ -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Utz Roedig Mobile & Internet Systems Laboratory (MISL) Tel: +353-21-490-2019 Department of Computer Science Fax: +353-21-427-4390 University College Cork Mail: utz(a)cs.ucc.ie College Road, Cork, Ireland ---------------------------------------------------------------------

========================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE SECON 2006 Third Annual IEEE Communications Society Conference on Sensor, Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks Hyatt Regency, Reston, VA, USA September 25-28, 2006 Paper submissions due (via EDAS): April 1, 2006 (Abstract/title registration) April 7, 2006 (Full paper) http://www.ieee-secon.org/2006/index.html ========================================================================== The third annual IEEE SECON conference will provide a unique forum to exchange ideas, techniques, and applications, discuss best practices, raise awareness, and share experiences among researchers, practitioners, standard developers and policy makers in the field of sensor, ad hoc, and mesh networks and systems. IEEE SECON grew out of IEEE INFOCOM (http://www.ieee-infocom.org) in 2004, in order to create an event that focused on the important and exciting topics of Sensor, Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks. The conference will be organized to provide for collegiality and continuity in the discussions of the various topics among participants from the industrial, governmental and academic sectors. Original technical papers that address the communications, networking, applications, systems and algorithmic aspects of mesh and sensor networks, as well as those that describe practical deployment and implementation experiences are solicited for presentation at the conference and publication in the conference proceedings. Papers presenting novel contributions in such disciplines as communications, networking protocols and architectures, algorithms, embedded systems, middleware and information management, and novel applications are solicited. PAPERS: Full papers - describing original, previously unpublished research work, experimental efforts, practical experiences, and industrial and commercial developments in sensor, ad hoc, and mesh communications and networks - are solicited. Papers with a deep focus on a specific discipline or stimulated by the synergistic interaction of diverse disciplines are encouraged. Papers describing practical application of technology to real-world problems are similarly encouraged. Papers submitted should not be concurrently under review at another conference, journal or similar venue. Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * New architectures and protocols to support communication, localization, time synchronization, routing, data dissemination, and other distributed services in heterogeneous, large-scale distributed, mesh networks and sensor networks * Novel algorithms and theories for management, supervisory control, and monitoring of distributed ad hoc networks, and techniques for the interpretation and use of sensor data in decision-making processes * Modeling and performance evaluation of large-scale distributed ad hoc and sensor networks, practical implementations and deployments, and real-world experiences * Theories and models on fundamental information and communication aspects of wireless mesh and sensor networks * Mechanisms for authenticated, secure communication and data dissemination in sensor and mesh networks * Algorithms and protocols to support quality of service in mesh and sensor networks, including admission control, resource allocation and fairness, and capacity planning * Integration of sensors into engineered systems, including novel techniques for on-sensor renewable power sources, mechanisms for on-sensor self-calibration and self-testing, and efficient schemes to maximize accuracy and minimize false alarms * Hardware platforms incorporating multiple sensors, computation, actuation, and wireless interfaces * Software platforms, middleware, and tools for mesh and sensor network applications development, deployment, and management PANELS: Proposals for panels on current topics in the field of ad hoc and sensor networking and applications are solicited. Panels related to the commercial application and development of sensors and mesh networks are especially encouraged. POSTERS, DEMOS AND EXPO: IEEE SECON 2006 will include poster/demonstration sessions that shall provide a forum to present and discuss: works in progress, industry demonstrations of new applications and techniques, practical implementations, industrial and commercial developments, research testbeds and demonstrations, recent research/implementation results, upcoming research challenges, future directions, and novel approaches in the fields of sensor, mesh and ad hoc communications and networks. One of the key goals of this conference is to foster collaboration between industry and academia. Hence, participation of researchers/developers from industry and posters/demostrations reporting joint work between industry and academia are especially encouraged. Submissions should be in the form of a proposal describing the main contributions of the poster/demo and the merits of the proposed ideas. If available, preliminary results can also be included. Proposals will be evaluated mainly based on their potential to stimulate interesting discussions, exchange of ideas and promote collaborations. Submissions should not be more than three pages (preferably IEEE conference format, 2-column) in length. Demonstration submissions should include the space requirements and/or any other equipment-specific requirements. The documents must contain the authors' names, affiliations, and contact information and the designated corresponding author. Accepted authors of posters/demos will have a space in the poster/demo session room to display their posters or exhibit their demos and describe their work in discussions with interested attendees. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically through the EDAS system. Details regarding the paper format and the submission process will be announced shortly at http://www.ieee-secon.org/2006/index.html. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will appear on IEEE Xplore. IEEE Communications Society policy states that all accepted SECON 2006 papers must have at least one registration at the regular rate. For authors co-authoring multiple papers, one regular registration is valid for up to three papers.
