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

The First International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks
(WiMAN 2007) http://www.cs.iusb.edu/~liqzhang/WiMAN2007/index.htm
in conjunction with ICCCN 2007
Turtle Bay Resort, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
August 16, 2007
* General Information
The First International Workshop on Wireless Mesh and Ad Hoc Networks
(WiMAN 2007) will be held in conjunction with the 16th International
Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2007), in
Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. All papers presented in WiMAN 2007 will be published
in the workshop proceeding by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Digital
Library, or Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
Distinguished papers will be invited to extend to full version for a
special issue of Elsevier's Computer Communications Journal (ComCom) on

* Scope and Topics
Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from
academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable
characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration,
self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services,
wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to
support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in
the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community
networking. Despite recent advances, and the technical accumulations from
more than a decade's research effort in mobile ad hoc networks, many
research issues remain in all protocol layers of wireless mesh networks. For
example, the introducing of mixed (infrastructure and ad hoc) architecture,
multi-radio, multi-channel, and multi-antenna, have brought new challenges
in the design of physical, MAC, and routing protocols. New application
scenarios, such as all-wireless office, are urging researchers to address
enhanced QoS support and various security issues in the design of different
protocol layers for wireless mesh networks.
This workshop aims to bring together the technologies and researchers who
share interest in the area of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks. The main
purpose is to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the
design of architectures, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications
for wireless networks. It also aims at increasing the synergy between
academic and industry professionals working in this area. We plan to seek
papers that address theoretical, experimental, and work in-progress at the
all layers of wireless mesh and ad hoc networks, from application layer to
the physical layer.
Topics covered by the workshop will include, but are not limited to, the
following:
a.. Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networking
b.. Wireless LAN, PAN, MAN and WAN
c.. Multi-hop wireless communications and ad hoc networking
d.. MAC protocols (IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, 802.20, and beyond)

IEEE MASS 2007 will be the fourth annual conference on the rapidly expanding
area of multi-hop wireless computing and sensor networking, and will provide
an exciting platform for discussing research vision of a digitally networked
wireless environment.
The MASS Organizing Committee invites proposals for one-day workshops
affiliated with the conference.
The workshops will be held prior to, or after, the main conference.
The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel
ideas and more specific research areas in a less formal and possibly more
focused way than at the conference itself.
Please visit http://www.cse.fau.edu/mass2006/workshops.html to view
information on workshops held last year at MASS 2006.
Workshops Proposals are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining to
ad-hoc wireless and sensor networking research and applications, including,
but not limited to, theoretical performance bounds for ad-hoc networks,
sensor and wireless network and application security/privacy, mesh networks,
middleware platforms and applications of specific techniques (e.g., control
theory or biological networks) to wireless networks.
We expect all selected workshops to adhere to a common paper submission and
reviewing schedule outlined below. All papers included in the MASS 2007
workshops will appear in the MASS 2007 Proceedings published by IEEE.
-------------------------------
Proposal Submission Guidelines:
