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 Original contributions (previously unpublished and not currently under review) are solicited in areas including (but not limited to) the following: * Novel WMSN architectures and applications * Protocols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 Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective Authors: Please follow Computer Networks (Elsevier) Journal format described at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/comnet, and submit your papers to the online submission and reviewing system at http://www.editorialmanager.com/comnet.

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.).

CFP: IPSN07 Workshop: DSI'07

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.] ************************************************************** C A L L F O R P A P E R S 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), including figures, tables, and references in PDF that include contact information of all the authors. If you have any questions regarding the submission process, please send e-mail to either Mark Hansen (cocteau(a)stat.ucla.edu) or Suman Nath (sumann(a)microsoft.com). See http://research.microsoft.com/~sumann/DSI07/ for submission instructions. Important Dates: Papers due: Friday, February 23, 2007 Notification: Friday, March 30, 2007 Camera Ready: Friday, April 13, 2007 Workshop: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 Organizing Committee: Mark Hansen, UCLA (PC Co-Chair) Suman Nath, Microsoft Research (PC Co-Chair) Program Committee: Karl Aberer, EPFL Matthew Arrott, UCSD Amol Deshpande, University of Maryland Max Egenhofer, University of Maine Mark Hansen, UCLA Suman Nath, Microsoft Research Mani Srivastava, UCLA Andreas Terzis, JHU John Wilbanks, Science Commons
