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),

IFIPTM 2007
Joint iTrust and PST Conferences on Privacy,
Trust Management and Security
July 30th -- August 2nd, 2007
Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada
CALL FOR PAPERS
http://pstnet.unb.ca/itrust-pst2007
Submission Deadline EXTENDED: February 23rd, 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

Broadband Wireless Access Symposium
Recently, wireless communications and networking have developed to the point
where broadband
wireless access is one of the hottest areas of research, development and
deployment in
telecommunications. The early cellular systems were narrowband systems
focused mainly on voice and
low-rate data. Today, 3G systems support broadband, high data rates, high
mobility, and many
applications beyond voice. Furthermore, data communications are going beyond
the initial wireless
LAN systems with modest data rates, to a variety of broadband data network
options, including
WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) and related systems. There are a variety of approaches
to broadband wireless
access, most of which could co-exist as alternatives for accessing the
future converged all-IP core
networks. The symposium focuses on recent advances in broadband wireless
access. We solicit original
and unpublished research achievements in various aspects of broadband
wireless access, including, but
not limited to, the following topics:
* Broadband wireless LAN
* WiMAX and related systems
* Broadband mesh networks
* CDMA, TDMA, OFDM, air interfaces
* UWB communications and networking
* Network infrastructure supporting broadband wireless access
* Network protocols
* MAC protocols for broadband wireless access
* Smart Antennas
* MIMO systems
* Adaptive modulation
* 4G Mobile Network Architectures
* OFDMA and other multiple access technologies for broadband wireless
* Multiuser systems, multiuser detection
* Single-carrier, multi-carrier, and multi-rate systems
* Interference Avoidance
* Cross-layer design for broadband wireless
* System capacity and performance analysis

in MS Doc or PDF formats are preferable (postal mail submissions
are also fine.) All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable
(later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a
particular typesetting format to prepare their papers for publication.)
The length of the Camera-Ready papers (if accepted) will be limited to
7 (IEEE style) pages. Papers must not have been previously published
or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of
the draft paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation,
postal address, email address, and telephone number for each author.
The first page should also identify the name of the author who will
be presenting the paper (if accepted) and a maximum of 5 topical
keywords that would best represent the content of the paper. Finally,
the name of the conference/track that the paper is being submitted to
must be stated on the first page.
Each paper will be refereed by two experts in the field who are
independent of the conference program committee. The referees'
evaluations will then be reviewed by two members of the program
committee who will recommend a decision to the chair of the track that
the paper has been submitted to. The track chair will make the final
decision. Lastly, the Camera-Ready papers will be reviewed by one
member of the program committee.

premier conferences for presentation of advances in their respective
fields. We anticipate to have 2000 or more attendees from over 75
countries participating in the 2007 event.
The motivation is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research
conferences into a coordinated research meeting held in a common
place at a common time. The main goal is to provide a forum for
exchange of ideas in a number of research areas that interact. The
model used to form these annual conferences facilitates communication
among researchers from all over the world in different fields of
computer science, computer engineering and applied computing. Both
inward research (core areas of computer science and engineering) and
outward research (multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and
applications) will be covered during the conferences.
