AD HOC NETWORKS JOURNAL (ELSEVIER)
Special Issue on
BIO-INSPIRED COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATION IN
WIRELESS AD HOC AND SENSOR NETWORKS
Submission deadline: February 28, 2007
_____________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
A wide spectrum of applications and services is currently being
developed and designed to be built on top of various heterogeneous
and significantly challenging network architectures such as wireless
mesh, mobile ad hoc and wireless sensor/actor networks. These
heterogeneous wireless communication architectures are mainly
characterized by heterogeneous and resource-constrained nodes,
restricted communication channels,highly dynamic environments,lack of
any fixed infrastructure, and large scale network deployments that
strongly vary in their density.These features and challenges,in turn,
mandate intelligent, adaptive, autonomic,coordinated,self-organizing,
and efficient processing and communication approaches to handle the
complexity of these ambitious wireless systems.
The turn to nature has brought us many unforeseen great concepts.
Natural biological systems intrinsically possess and exploit similar
features by providing elegant and extremely efficient solutions for
the challenges and tasks faced in their natural operation. It is of
extreme importance to bridge the communication technologies with
biological sciences and capture the analogy between these two
distinct disciplines. To this end, solution strategies inspired by
the biological systems have been recently proposed to address the
challenges of many computing and communication systems.
This special issue is dedicated to capture the state-of-the-art and
the recent advances in the area of biologically-inspired computing
and communication in heterogeneous wireless architectures such as
wireless mesh networks, mobile ad hoc networks, and wireless sensor
and actor networks. Papers describing mathematical models,algorithms,
protocols, tools, evaluation methods, and experimental studies of
computing and communication architectures that are inspired by and
derived from biological systems are solicited for this special issue.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools
* Biological and bio-inspired computing, data processing algorithms
* Joint bio-inspired data processing and communication
* Embryonics-based fault-tolerant computing and communication
* Bio-inspired network and communication algorithms and protocols
* Novel applications and services inspired by biological systems
* Experimental studies of bio-inspired computing and communications
* Bio-inspired topology control and network reconfiguration methods
* Bio-inspired localization, synchronization, mobility approaches
* Evolution and self-healing of network architectures and protocols

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: 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
High-quality papers in that at the time of submission are not under
review or have not already been published or accepted for publication
elsewhere are solicited.
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings,
to be published by Springer under the auspices of the IFIP WG 11.11 on
Trust Management.
Submissions must be in English. Authors should ensure that papers do
not exceed 16 pages and are formatted according to the LNCS format
(see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).

Guy, Otto and everyone else!
I need to apologise for the lack of minutes from the Paris meeting.
I have not forgotten them and my conscience IS troubling me.
Unfortunately there have been a number of personal and domestic crises
(that may be too strong a word but I can't think of a better one)
and the minutes have taken been pushed down the priority list.
I am now going to be away from my office for a couple of weeks.
That could mean that I will be out of contact until 5th February
or it could mean that I actually have time to write the minutes!
At the moment, I do not know but I will try to get the minutes done as
soon as possible.
Apologies once again and I hope it's not too late to wish everybody a
happy new year
Regards
Peter
