Special Session:
Data Dissemination and Communication Protocols in Sensor Networks
The Third IET International Conference on Intelligent Environments (IE'07), the University of Ulm, Germany, September 24-25, 2007.
Website - http://www.uni-ulm.de/ie07/ (Special Sessions, Session #1)
-------------
Description
-------------
Sensor networks are used in various pervasive and ubiquitous applications. These networks usually consist of a large number of sensors that are deployed at remote and inaccessible places. As most of the sensors are wireless, energy-efficient data dissemination and communication protocols are needed; otherwise, batteries will rapidly drain and network connectivity and coverage will become unacceptable. On one hand, we want the sensor nodes to be active and monitor the environment. On the other hand, we want the sensor nodes to conserve their energy by sleeping significant amount of time. Further, depending on the application, robustness and responsiveness can be very critical.
The objective of this special session is to provide an opportunity for academic researchers and industry practitioners to present and discuss experiences, emerging applications, and research results for data dissemination and communication protocols in sensor networks.
---------
Topics
---------
Topics include but not are limited to the following:
- Energy-efficient data dissemination
- Databases and query optimization
- Routing protocols
- Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols
- Connectivity and coverage
- Topology and Sleep Scheduling
- Robustness
- Security, privacy, and trust
- Smart homes
- Software design and architectures
- Intelligent agent architectures
- Machine learning and distributed data mining
- Pervasive and ubiquitous systems and services
- Industrial experience and emerging applications
- Instructions for Manuscripts
------------
Submission
------------
Authors are requested to submit a PDF file for their manuscript following the submission guideline available at http://www.uni-ulm.de/ie07/. All manuscripts should be submitted through the conference submission system and choosing the area of the special session. The papers should also be emailed to the special session organizer for reference.
03-15-2007 - Paper Submission Deadline
05-15-2007 - Notification of acceptance/rejection

workshops are also planned.
In addition, this year, for the first time, Euro-Par will be held in
conjunction with the First European network of Excellence CoreGRID
Symposium, thus acknowledging the increasing importance of Grid computing in
the Euro-Par community.
Venue
----------
The city of Rennes is located on the Western part of France, at the heart of
the Brittany Region. Brittany enjoys a very rich cultural heritage. Of
world-wide reputation is the Mont Saint-Michel and the corsair city of
Saint-Malo, both located 1-hour drive north from Rennes. Rennes is very well
connected with Paris with the high-speed TGV, Rennes also runs an
international airport located close to the city centre with direct
connections to most French cities, and optimized flight connection with most
European cities through Paris.
IRISA (Institut de Recherche en Informatique et Systèmes
Aléatoires) is joint research laboratory, between INRIA and CNRS among
others, one of the largest lab in Computer Science in France. IRISA is
also well-known for its strong involvement in high-performance computing,
distributed systems and parallel machines and codes. Together with
Grenoble, it was the location for the first parallel machines installed in
France.

2nd IEEE International Workshop on Security, Trust, and Privacy for Software
Applications (STPSA 2007)
in conjunction with COMPSAC 2007
Beijing, USA , July 24-27, 2007
http://conferences.computer.org/compsac/2007/workshops/stpsa.html
MOTIVATION
Information security has become a major concern for both pervasive and
non-pervasive software applications. Software systems must be engineered
with reliable protection mechanisms with respect to security, privacy, and
trust, while still delivering the expected value of the software to their
customers. The traditional approaches to secure a system (e.g., IDS,
firewalls) are no longer sufficient to address many security, trust, and
privacy (STP) issues. These issues should be addressed by building more
effective STP-aware software applications. The principal obstacle in
developing STP-aware software is that current software specification,
design, implementation, and testing practices do not include adequate
methods and tools to achieve security, trust, and privacy goals.
As most systems now are Internet-based, the number of attackers is
increased dramatically and threat scenarios have changed. Traditional
security measures do not fit well for the software of pervasive
applications. Since location and contexts are key attributes of pervasive
applications, the privacy issues need to be handled in a novel manner than
traditional software applications. The devices in pervasive computing leave
and join in ad hoc manner in the pervasive network. These create a need for
new trust models for pervasive computing applications. In this workshop, we
will also welcome papers on the challenges and requirements of security,
privacy, and trust for pervasive software applications.
This workshop will focus on techniques, experiences and lessons learned
with respect to the state of art for the security, trust, and privacy
aspects of both pervasive and non-pervasive software applications along with
some open issues.
SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Security, trust, and privacy specific software development practices
Security, trust, and privacy requirements elicitation and specification
Models and languages for STP-aware software specification and design

Testing security, trust, and privacy properties of both pervasive and
non-pervasive software
STP management and usability issues in software applications
User interfaces for STP-aware pervasive and non pervasive software
Software reengineering for security, trust, and privacy for both pervasive
and non pervasive applications
Tradeoffs among security, privacy, trust, and other criteria
STP challenges in e-services, e.g. e-health, e-government, e-banking,
e-commerce, e-marketing and other web-based and pervasive applications
STP challenges in mobile software applications
STP issues in sensor based software applications
User interfaces for secure and privacy-aware pervasive computing
applications
STP-aware service discovery mechanisms for pervasive computing environments
Models for ensuring security, trust, and privacy in pervasive software

Special Session:
Data Dissemination and Communication Protocols in Sensor Networks
The Third IET International Conference on Intelligent Environments
(IE'07), the University of Ulm, Germany,
September 24-25, 2007.
Website - http://www.uni-ulm.de/ie07/ (Special Sessions, Session #1)
-------------
Description
-------------
Sensor networks are used in various pervasive and ubiquitous
applications. These networks usually consist of a large number of
sensors that are deployed at remote and inaccessible places. As most of
the sensors are wireless, energy-efficient data dissemination and
communication protocols are needed; otherwise, batteries will rapidly
drain and network connectivity and coverage will become unacceptable. On
one hand, we want the sensor nodes to be active and monitor the
environment. On the other hand, we want the sensor nodes to conserve
their energy by sleeping significant amount of time. Further, depending
on the application, robustness and responsiveness can be very critical.
The objective of this special session is to provide an opportunity for
academic researchers and industry practitioners to present and discuss
experiences, emerging applications, and research results for data
dissemination and communication protocols in sensor networks.
---------
Topics
---------
Topics include but not are limited to the following:
- Energy-efficient data dissemination
- Databases and query optimization
- Routing protocols
- Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols
- Connectivity and coverage
