ALGOSENSORS 06: Latest News and Final Call for Papers

von Ioannis Chatzigiannakis

[Apologies for multiple postings] ALGOSENSORS 06 LATEST NEWS: - Keynote Speakers: Prof. Christos Papadimitriou (University of California at Berkeley, USA) Prof. P.R. Kumar (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA) - It has now been confirmed that Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag/Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). - Selected high quality papers will be considered for publication in a Special Issue on Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks of the Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) Journal. ------------- 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. Christos Papadimitriou, University of California at Berkeley, USA - Prof. P.

TC6 meeting travel directions

von Augusto Casaca

Dear colleagues, Complementing my last message which was concerned with the hotel booking for our TC6 meeting in Coimbra let me give you also some preliminary travel directions to Coimbra. You can fly either to Lisboa or Porto airport. Porto is 100 km away from Coimbra and Lisboa 200 kms. You need to take a train to go either from Porto or Lisboa to Coimbra. The best connection between both airports and the respective train stations is by taxi. In Porto I was informed that the taxi should cost about 20 €.. In Lisboa the maximum fare should be in the same order of magnitude or, even less. Probably in May you might have available a brand new metro connecting the Porto airport to the train station, but not in Lisboa. There are several train stations in Lisboa and Porto. You should go to the Campanhã train station in Porto and to the Oriente train station in Lisboa. These are the most suitable ones to go to Coimbra, although other alternatives are possible. In Coimbra the train arrives in Coimbra-B. From there you can either take a local train (included in the ticket price) to Coimbra city center or follow directly to your hotel. I give you a link to the Portuguese train company so that you can check the best connections available. I am afraid that the timetable of May is not yet fixed, but you might have a close idea of the possibilities by looking at the available timetables there: <http://www.cp.pt/cp/displayPage.do?vgnextoid=87cbd5abe2a74010VgnVCM1000007b…> http://www.cp.pt/cp/displayPage.do?vgnextoid=87cbd5abe2a74010VgnVCM1000007b… Later on I might send you more detailed travel directions if required. Best regards Augusto Casaca
