What: IPSN '07 Extreme Sensing Competition
When: April 25-27, 2007
Deadline: April 10, 2007
1st Prize: Nintendo Wii
Details: http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~whitehouse/ipsn07competition/
IPSN '07 will be hosting an Extreme Sensing competition
April 25-27, 2007. Each team will need to build a sensor
system using five sensors or less that can count people
walking through a 10ft x 10ft arena. In Phase 1, the arena
will be placed in a high traffic area and all teams will sense
normal foot traffic from conference attendees for a duration
of 10 minutes. Points will be awarded for correct detections
and subtracted for false positives and false negatives. In
Phase 2, each team must try to walk through the arena 10
times without being detected by their opponents' sensors, in
order to increase their own score while decreasing the scores
of their opponents. Results will be broadcast live during
Phase 1, providing each team an opportunity to discern how
the other systems work and how they might fail. For more
details about the competition, and how to enter, visit the

Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada
CALL FOR PAPERS
http://pstnet.unb.ca/itrust-pst2007
Submission Deadline: February 16th , 2007
In 2007, the iTrust and PST conferences will join together to provide
a truly global platform for the reporting of research, development,
policy and practice in the interdependent areas of Privacy, Security,
and Trust.
The iTrust international Conference looks at trust from
multidisciplinary perspectives: economic, legal, psychology,
philosophy, sociology as well as information technology, is built on
the work of the iTrust working group (http://www.itrust.uoc.gr), and
has had four highly successful conferences in Europe to date.
The PST conference has quickly established itself as a leader in
multidisciplinary research on a wide range of topics related to
Privacy, Security and Trust, looked at from research and practice,
through academe, business, and government.
The two conferences come together as the first annual meeting and
conference of the newly formed IFIP Working Group on Trust Management
(IFIP WG11.11), a major step forward in Trust Management work
globally.
The program of the conference will feature research papers, industrial
and government presentations. We are also keen to hear from parties
interested in hosting workshops, both theoretical and practical, under
the auspices of the conference - contact the Program Chairs for more
details. It is expected that the conference will contain tracks on
Trust Management, Privacy and Policy, Security, Public Safety and
National Security, and Mobile and Emerging Technologies.
In addition, iTrust-PST 2007 will feature a "Business Day" designed to
bridge the gap between the research and technology being undertaken at
universities and research organizations, and the practical needs of
industry. We are soliciting Business Day presentations including
industry presentations, workshops and panels describing innovative
applications, case studies and best practices with a goal of fostering
collaboration between the research community and the private sector.
Finally, iTrust-PST 2007 will feature an opportunity for interested
parties to demonstrate their research and development projects. For
more information, please contact the Program Chairs.
For the detailed list of topics of interest for iTrust-PST 2007 see
http://pstnet.unb.ca/itrust-pst2007

Instructions for Participants
Although submission is open to anyone, attendance is by invitation.
All authors of accepted papers are invited to attend, and authors are
required to ensure that at least one will be present. This year's
meeting location will allow us to invite more participants than
previous years.
Submission Instructions
Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have
been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a
conference with published proceedings. Papers should be submitted in
Postscript or Portable Document Format (PDF). Papers submitted in a
proprietary word processor format such as Microsoft Word cannot be
considered. At least one coauthor of each accepted paper is required
to attend CSF to present the paper.
Papers may be submitted using the two-column IEEE Proceedings style
available for various document preparation systems at IEEE-CS
Press. Papers in this style should be at most 12 pages long, not
counting bibliography and well-marked appendices. Alternatively,
papers can be in Springer LLNCS style. In LLNCS style papers must be
at most 20 pages long excluding the bibliography and well-marked
appendices.
Committee members are not required to read appendices, and so the
paper must be intelligible without them. Papers not adhering to the
page limits will be rejected without consideration of their merits.
The paper submission website will be open in January 2007.
Proposals for panels are also welcome. They should be no more than
five pages in length and should include possible panelists and an
indication of which of those panelists have confirmed a desire to
participate. They should be submitted by email to the program chair by
March 15, 2007.
A session of five-minute talks was successful in the last two years,
so we are likely to have one again in 2007. Abstracts will be
solicited in May.

COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL (ELSEVIER)
Special Issue on
WIRELESS MULTIMEDIA SENSOR NETWORKS
Submission deadline: April 30, 2007
_____________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have recently been the focus of a
significant amount of attention and effort of the research community.
The main motivation has been to address the challenges posed by the
WSN paradigm, i.e., limited node power, processing, and communication
capabilities, dense network deployment, multi-hop communications, and
heterogeneous application-specific requirements. The vast majority of
these studies applies to conventional WSN applications which need
reliable and efficient communication of scalar event features and
sensor data such as temperature, pressure, humidity.
With the availability of low-cost small-scale imaging sensors, CMOS
cameras, microphones, which may ubiquitously capture multimedia
content from the field, Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSN)
have been proposed and drawn the immediate attention of the research
community. WMSN applications, e.g., multimedia surveillance networks,
target tracking, environmental monitoring, and traffic management
systems, require effective harvesting and communication of event
features in the form of multimedia such as audio, image, and video.
To this end, additional challenges for energy-efficient multimedia
processing and communication in WMSN, i.e., heterogeneous multimedia
reliability definitions, tight QoS expectations, and high bandwidth
demands, must be addressed as well.
This special issue solicits papers describing the state-of-the-art,
reliable and efficient multimedia processing and delivery solutions
imperative for the realization of WMSN. Original contributions
(previously unpublished and not currently under review) are
solicited in areas including (but not limited to) the following:
* Novel WMSN architectures and applications
* Protocols for real-time, reliable multimedia streaming in WMSN
* Energy-efficient MAC, routing, and traffic management for WMSN
* Cross-layer design for effective communications in WMSN
* Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding for WMSN
* Joint multimedia processing and communication solutions for WMSN
* Distributed source coding and multimedia processing in WMSN
* Information fusion and multimedia aggregation in WMSN
* Group and cooperative communications for multimedia delivery in
sensor/actor networks
* WMSN capacity modeling and theoretical analysis
* Delay-tolerant networking for WMSN
* Topology control, localization, synchronization, and mobility
* Physical layer technologies for efficient WMSN
* Secure multimedia communications in WMSN
* Experimental and testbed studies of WMSN

Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and
networks are growing towards an ever increasing scale and heterogeneity,
becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical
with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive
systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic
Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication
systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization,
self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum
extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing
(OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like
self-organization and controlled emergence.
Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk
of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail.
Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive
infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and
cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy
Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as
well as services available, predictable, traceable, controllable,
assessable, sustainable, dependable, persist-able, security/privacy
protect-able, etc.
A series of grand challenges exist to achieve practical self-manageable
autonomic systems with truly trustworthy services. ATC-07 addresses the
most innovative research and development in these challenging areas and
includes all technical aspects related to autonomic/organic computing
(AC/OC) and trusted computing (TC). ATC-07 is a successor of the First
Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic Ubiquitous and Embedded Systems
(TAUES-05, Japan, Dec.), the Int'l Workshop on Trusted and Autonomic
Computing Systems (TACS-06, Austria, Apr.), and the 3rd International
Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing (ATC-06, Three Gorges,
China, Sep.).

******************* ATC-07 Call For Papers**********************
The 4th International Conference on Autonomic
and Trusted Computing (ATC-07)
- Bring Safe, Self-x and Organic Computing Systems into Reality -
http://www.atc-conference.org/2007/http://ehpclab.stfx.ca/~atc07/

*****************************************************************
Computing systems including hardware, software, communication and
networks are growing towards an ever increasing scale and heterogeneity,
becoming overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical
with the ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive
systems. To cope with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic
Computing (AC) focuses on self-manageable computing and communication
systems that exhibit self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization,
self-healing, self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum
extent possible without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing
(OC) additionally emphasizes natural-analogue concepts like
self-organization and controlled emergence.
Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk
of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail.
Trust and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive
infrastructures are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and
cooperation of various users, systems and services. Trusted/Trustworthy
Computing (TC) aims at making computing and communication systems as
