SCOPE This workshop intends to serve as a forum for the exchange of new ideas, concepts, and results associated with three specific areas showing a degree of convergence: Wireless Networking (WN), Grid and Web Services (GWS), and Automated Information Processing (AIP). AIP is serving as a bridge between WN and GWS and in this context is bringing out new exciting and challenging issues. The workshop is addressing issues along the following lines through a set of thought-provoking questions: Grid and Web Services Grid Computing: a new technology or a cheaper alternative? What are the financial and technological benefits of grid computing versus cluster computing? What markets stand to benefit the most from grid computing? Does wireless access to computing grids open up new application/ service markets? Which ones? Do projected trends for future data processing needs align favorably with the capabilities of computing grids? Wireless Networking How wireless sensor networks (WSN) integrate with wireless networking in general? How can WSNs characterize smart environments in our automated society? How to manage uncertainty due inhabitants' contexts in smart environments? What significant automated information processing issues need to be addressed for context-aware resource management in smart environments? Beyond mere wireless access to grids: are there any wireless-specific services or applications that may benefit from grid computing? Automated Information Processing What information processing applications are good and poor matches for grids? What is automated in automated information processing? How to integrate syntactic and semantic issues in automated information processing? How AIP is serving as a bridge between grid and web services and wireless networking? What role plays signal processing in automated information processing and smart environments? TOPICS Wireless Networking Web and Grid Services Sensor and Mobile Databases Collaborative Signal Processing Sensor Metadata Interoperability and Management Secure Wireless Sensor Networks Signal-based Automated Information Processing Sensor Grids and Sensor Registry Environmental Surveillance Monitoring SPEAKERS Ian Foster - http://www-fp.mcs.anl.gov/~foster/ Sajal Das - http://ranger.uta.edu/~das/ Sandra Thuel - http://www.bell-labs.com/user/thuel/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PANAL SESSION ON RFID Fulfilling the promise of RFID: Applications, Case Studies and Future Research SCOPE Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) will certainly be an integral part of most supply chains in 10 to 20 years' time. Up to now, however, RFID has failed to live up to its promise, remaining hurdled by limited implementation and applications, and has yet to be considered a mainstream technology on its own. A range of technologies, from WiFi to Sensor Networks to RFID, is being explored for asset management to "smart" shelving - but what combination of technologies solves the right sets of problems? How does one identify the problems to solve? What are the capabilities of each technology to solve them in differing use scenarios? Where can WiFi be more useful vs. RFID or EPC (Electronic Product Codes) in other situations? In this panel, we will discuss these questions, current and potential future applications, and possibilities for further research and study. PANELISTS Dr. Rajit Gadh, UCLA Dr. Salil Pradhan, CTO, HP RFID Program Dr. Dario Sassi Thober, Wernher Von Braun Center for Advanced Research, Campinas, Brazil Marcelo de Carvalho Pandini, Manager, RFID & Business Development, Hewlett-Packard Brazil Martina Y.

Second IEEE/IFIP International Workshop on Business-driven IT Management (BDIM 2007) In conjunction with IEEE/IFIP Integrated Management (IM 2007), Munich, Germany, May 21st, 2007. http://www.businessdrivenitmanagement.org/bdim2007/ Information Technology (IT) management has evolved significantly over the past few years as IT-based solutions have become increasingly critical to the functioning of organizations. From device, network and systems management, solutions have evolved to include service management and IT governance, as witnessed by the recent popularity of ITIL and COBIT frameworks. A recent shift in perspective brought to bear a more user-centric approach to IT management, putting IT managers in condition to look at IT not just from the IT department's traditional point of view but from the user's point of view: this is the reason for the appearance of services and quality of service metrics in these frameworks. Even more recently, a further shift towards holistic understanding of IT in order to fulfill business objectives is occurring: one now wishes to look beyond IT services to the context where the services are used. This is termed Business-driven IT Management (BDIM) and is the object of this workshop. BDIM focuses on the impact of IT on business processes and business-level objectives and vice versa; besides the conventional IT metrics such as availability and response time, it looks at other key performance indicators (KPIs), that is metrics that have significance from the point of view of the business supported by the IT. The BDIM approach aims at rethinking IT management from a business perspective, whether this be in an operational, tactical or strategic context. BDIM is not restricted to IT environments in enterprises but encompasses techniques and decision making that involve thinking about IT in terms of objectives that are at business level, of organizations that may not traditionally be classified as "businesses". The second edition of the BDIM workshop builds on the success of the first edition, that was held in conjunction with NOMS 2006. BDIM 2007 aims to continue building the community of researchers in business-driven IT management by inviting complete, original, unpublished contributions in the following, or related topic areas: - Models for measuring/estimating business-IT alignment (- Models for IT faults and performance degradations) (- Data mining techniques for impact model construction) (- Modeling of business operations and their relationships to IT) (- Modeling of business strategies and their relationships to IT) (- Modeling IT risk and IT-related business risk- Software tools for Business-driven IT management) (- Semantic web models for business-IT alignment) - Decision support for IT Management from a business perspective (- Business-driven IT optimization problems) (- Business-driven IT planning and decision-making) (- IT actions to enhance/optimize business performance) - Automation for IT Management from a business perspective (- Adaptive/autonomic computing from a business perspective) (- Automated IT management solutions from a business perspective) - Business Objectives, Processes and SLM (- Business process modeling for IT management) (- Business-driven Service Level Management) (- Business-driven dynamic provisioning) (- Business-driven inventory management) (- Business continuity management and its impact on IT) (- Accounting, Billing, Chargeback and linkages to business objectives) (- IT Governance, ITSM, COBIT) (- Business objectives and their impact on new IT paradigms like utility/grid computing) - Case studies in Business-driven IT management (in e-commerce, messaging, ...) (- E-commerce, e-business and relation to IT infrastrcutures) (- Services infrastructures and QOS concerns (MTBF, MTTR, Response times, latency etc) that have customer impact) Submissions: We are seeking submissions for full papers (10 pages on 2-columns IEEE style) and short papers presenting position statements or preliminary results on relevant work (2 pages on 2-columns IEEE style). All selected works will appear in the proceedings in an IEEE press volume with assigned ISBN number. Submissions are to be uploaded at https://submissoes.sbc.org.br/bdim2007 on or before January 31st, 2007.

This conference provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing the design, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these systems. Sensor networks require contributions from many fields, from wireless communication and networking, embedded systems and hardware, distributed systems, data management, and applications, so we welcome cross-disciplinary work. This year we particularly encourage papers that extend the scope of the conference beyond wireless mote-class sensor networks and we seek contributions from a broad range of sensing-related fields, such as actuator networks, RFID applications, mobile ad-hoc networks, camera networks, and others. We seek technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Sensor network architecture and protocols Applications Rich sensor systems leveraging RFID, mobile devices (e.g., cell phones), cameras, robotics, etc. Analysis of real-world systems and fundamental limits Sensor network planning, provisioning, calibration and deployment Deployment experience and testbeds Experimental methodology, including measurement, simulation, and emulation infrastructure Integration with back-end systems such as web-based information systems, process control, and enterprise software Programming methodology Operating systems Sensor network algorithms such as localization, routing, time synchronization, clustering, topology control, and coverage control algorithms Failure resilience and fault isolation Energy management Data, information, and signal processing Data storage and management Distributed actuation and control Security and privacy Important dates: Paper Registration and Abstract: April 10, 2007, midnight US Eastern Time Paper Submission Deadline: April 17, 2007, midnight US Eastern Time Notification of Paper Acceptance: July 2, 2007 Camera Ready Paper Copy: August 30, 2007 All deadlines are firm; we will not honor extensions. Papers must be original, unpublished work not under consideration elsewhere. All submissions will be handled electronically and must be in PDF format. Papers must not exceed 14 pages (US "Letter" size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including all material (text, figures and references). The font size must be at least 10 points. Papers should be in two-column format with no more than 59 lines of text per column and at least 0.75" margins on all sides. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. The review process is double-blind and hence, all submissions must be anonymized. Selected papers of particular merit will be proposed for publication in the ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks. For submission details, see the conference web site. Demos: Demonstrations showing innovative research and applications are solicited. SenSys is very interested in demonstrations of technology, platforms, and applications of sensor systems. Abstracts of accepted demos will be published in the SenSys conference proceedings. Submissions from both industry and academia are encouraged. For submission details, see the conference web site. A call for demos with submission dates, etc., will be posted at a later point. Posters: Posters showing exciting early work on sensor systems are solicited. Areas of interest are the same as those listed in the technical call for papers. While the poster need not describe completed work, it should report on research for which at least preliminary results are available. For submission details, see the conference web site. A call for posters with submission dates, etc., will be posted at a later point. Workshops: Following last years workshop success, workshop proposals are highly encouraged in emerging areas related to sensor networks. A call for workshop proposals will be posted on the SenSys website. Organization: General Chair: Sanjay Jha (U. New South Wales) Program Co-Chairs: Phillip B.
