[We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers 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 * Immune and self-healing network defense and information security * Bio-inspired nano-scale and molecular computing and communication * Bio-inspired distributed control and sensing of networked wearable and implantable medical devices Submission Instructions and Important Dates: ____________________________________________ Prospective authors:Please submit the PDF of your paper, biographies and photos of the co-authors to http://ees.elsevier.com/adhoc and choose Special Issue: Bio-Inspired Computing as the Article Type.

================================ [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).

Dear Otto, I seem to understand about one third of this pun-prayer. What I would enjoy even better is a PDF presentation using the original wunderbar deutsch gotisch Alphabet, unfortunately abandoned.

They stem from a priest in Münster (Germany) and it is absolutely impossible to translate them into English. Thus maybe 30 percent (or more?) of TC6 delegates will be able to understand. I apologize.
