CFP: (Submission Deadline: May 1, 2006) 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.

ALGOSENSORS 06/Extended Submission Deadline: May 2

von Ioannis Chatzigiannakis

Due to many requests, the submission deadline is extended to May 2, 2006. ------------- Final CFP follows -------- ALGOSENSORS 06: International Workshop on Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks July 15 2006, Venice, Italy To be held in conjunction with ICALP 2006 http://ru1.cti.gr/algosensors06/ SCOPE Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have recently become a very active research subject due to their high potential of providing diverse services to numerous important applications, including remote monitoring and tracking in environmental applications and low maintenance ambient intelligence in everyday life. The effective and efficient realization of such large scale, complex ad-hoc networking environments requires intensive, coordinated technical research and development efforts, especially in power aware, scalable, robust wireless distributed protocols, due to the unusual application requirements and the severe resource constraints of the sensor devices. On the other hand, a solid foundational background seems necessary for sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is a challenge for abstract modelling, algorithmic design and analysis to achieve provably efficient, scalable and fault-tolerant realizations of such huge, highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networks. Features including the extremely large number of sensor devices in the network, the severe power, computating and memory limitations, their dense, random deployment and frequent failures, pose new interesting abstract modeling, algorithmic design, analysis and implementation challenges. This Workshop aims to bring together research contributions related to diverse algorithmic aspects of wireless sensor networks. TOPICS Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including (but not limited to): * Models of sensor networks * Methods for ad hoc deployment/topology control * Energy management * Data propagation and routing * Localization * Tracking * Data aggregation/data compression * Obstacle avoidance * Power saving schemes * Communication protocols * Medium access control * Security and trust * Distributed computing issues KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: - Prof. P.

Fwd: [Ifip_tcchairs] IFIP Strategy

von Otto Spaniol

Dear all, please find enclosed a new paper on IFIP's strategy: "The new IFIP". If you want to comment then please do it to me and/or to Basie von Solms <basie(a)rau.ac.za>. Deadline: End of April. Best regards Otto ---------------- Anfang Weiterleitung ---------------- Betreff: [Ifip_tcchairs] IFIP Strategy Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12. April 2006 12:43 Uhr Von: Sebastiaan von Solms <basie(a)rau.ac.za> An: Ifip_tcchairs(a)ifip.org Dear TC Chairs As you remember, you were asked to complete some questionnaire about a future IFIP Strategy, sent to you by Leon and myself. Furthermore we had extensive discussions about this aspect during the TC dinner and during Council. There was a general feeling that the document produced by the Strategy meeting in London in Dec 2005, was not comprehensive (and novel) enough. TA therefore decided that TA will create a further document, based on the results of the questionnaire, and the discussions, which will then be submitted to the June 2006 meeting of the Strategy committee. Leon and myself undertook to do this. Leon was however snowed under by WCC 2006, WITFOR and other IFIP activities, so I carried on with the process. I used the inputs from the questionnaire and discussions to draft the attached document. Leon has provided some comments which helped. Again, if you do not like the content, blame me, and not Leon, because he went with the attached version, but does stil have some reservations. Nevertheless the 2 of us agreed to circulate this version. Please study the document, and provide comments - it may seem a little 'blue sky' for some, but I have no doubt that IFIP must change dramatically - this document is an effort to move in that direction. On Leon's advice, I will draft a second document, covering all the tactical/operational aspects mentioned in your replies. That will be a second document submitted to the Strategy meeting in June, because we did not want these operational and tactical aspects to 'contaminate' the more strategic direction of the attached document. This second document will be circulated later. The attached one is however the most important, and I hope we can use it as a basis to move to a new strategy agreed on by all TC Chairs which we can submit in June. Can I please have your comments/inputs/reservations/critisism/whatever by 24 April. I will then consolidate, and resend. I want to submit our final version by middle May.

Invitation to TC6 meeting

von Augusto Casaca

Dear colleagues, The first meeting of TC6 in 2006 will take place in Coimbra, Portugal on May 19th and 20th. You are kindly invited to attend this meeting. The meeting follows the Networking Conference, which takes also place in Coimbra starting on May 15th. I have already agreed with Otto Spaniol that the TC6 meeting will start on Friday (May 19th) in the morning and will end on Saturday (May 20th) by lunch time. Therefore, all the planning is done assuming this time allocation. On Friday evening there will be the TC6 dinner in a place still to be defined and on Saturday afternoon you are invited for a small excursion in Coimbra and its surroundings. In attach you can find a document containing information about Coimbra, the two available hotels and the excursion. It is urgent that you choose the hotel and book it following the indications given in the document. We advise you to do it until April 8th as the block booking is only accepted until that date. You do not need to worry with transportation to the meeting place in the University, as the local organization will provide it. Concerning the two hotels, I can inform that Hotel Astoria is near the old part of town but has only three stars although it is a renovated hotel. Hotel Melia is a more modern hotel with four stars but is not in the old town. Later on we will provide more information about the meeting and the meeting agenda will be directly sent by Otto. Looking forward to seeing all of you in Portugal Best regards Augusto Casaca
