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(previously unpublished and not currently under review) are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

******************* 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/
Organized by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China
In Cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society
Hong Kong, China, July 11-13, 2007
*****************************************************************
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.).
Topics include but are not limited to the following:
-AC/OC Theory and Models
* Nervous/organic models, negotiation, cooperation,
competition, self-organization, emergence, etc.
-AC/OC Architectures and Systems
* Autonomic elements & their relationship, frameworks,
middleware, observer/controller architectures, etc.
-AC/OC Components and Modules
* Memory, storage, database, device, server, proxy,
software, OS, I/O, etc.
-AC/OC Communication and Services
* Networks, self-organized net, web service, grid,

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
