Urgent: Autonomic Networking 2007
by Guy Leduc 08 Mar '07

08 Mar '07

Dear all, I'd like to trigger the TC6 people responsible for Autonomic Networking 2007. I've seen nothing yet (no web page, no CfP, etc.) and I guess the CfP deadline will have to be in April. Can I again insist on the fact that Autonomic Networking (AN) is supposed to become our second flagship conference in TC6 (after Networking), and it is more than important to schedule this carefully and without delay. To achieve this, a reliable and proactive steering committee is absolutely necessary. So first of all, I'd like to renew the Steering Committee of Autonomic Networking. The current steering committee is: R. Boutaba (University of Waterloo, CA) P. Chemouil (FT, FR) I. Chlamtac (Create-Net, IT) R. Popescu Zeletin (Fokus, DE) F. Sestini (European Commission, EC) J. Strassner (Motorola Research Labs, USA) I'd like to see there only reputed scientists and no "political" people. It should also be IFIP TC6 driven. Could we agree on a couple of individuals in this steering committee soon and also launch AN 2007 as soon as possible? If I remember correctly J. Strassner is the general chair of AN 2007 and will likely organize an ACF Forum meeting associated with it. Do we have any TPC co-chairs designated? If not, it's more than urgent. I'd suggest to have two TPC co-chairs, one from Europe and one from the USA. This should be decided soon by the conference chair and the steering committee. In the steering committee, we need people who will actually steer AN and make it grow to a successful and respected scientific event (and we are far from that). The steering committee is not supposed to be a VIP committee, but a (pro)active body. Moreover AN is not meant to be a sort of IST event, nor an ACF forum event, and certainly not a CREATE-NET event... Otherwise, we will only attract bad papers... It's already hard for IFIP events to attract good papers, so we should not deteriorate this further. I'd suggest to have the chairs of WG6.2 (G. Carle), WG6.6 (R. Boutaba) and WG6.7 (D. Gaiti) in this committee. The scopes of these WGs are related to Autonomic Networking. We could also have a steering member representing the ACF forum (but one is enough according to me), and another one representing the WAC conference (who ???). BTW, are we sure WAC will be part of AN this year? Also, a steering committee chair will have to be designated among them, otherwise nothing moves forward, as obviously demonstrated so far for AN 2007. Sorry for being a bit harsh, but the issue is crucial. IFIP has a clear deficit in international reputation, and the names in the steering committee (and in the TPC too) have to convey the right message to the community. If we feel that we have also to open the AN steering committee to one or two other reputed scientists clearly involved in Autonomics, that's fine by me. Just suggest names. Comments and suggestions are urgently more than welcome!

CFP: Special Issue on "Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks " Computer Networks (Elsevier) Journal
by Ozgur B. Akan 07 Mar '07

07 Mar '07

[We apologize in advance if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.] _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers COMPUTER NETWORKS JOURNAL (ELSEVIER) 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 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. Please select Article Type: Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks. Papers must be in single- column format, double-spaced,and use at least 11pt fonts, and should not exceed 25 pages including references.

Cork, Ireland 25-26 June 2007 www.cs.ucc.ie/emnets2007 *********************************************************** The Fourth Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors (EmNets 2007) brings together wireless sensor network researchers from academic and industrial backgrounds to present groundbreaking results that will shed light on present and future research challenges. The workshop emphasises results from experiments or deployments that quantify the challenges in the wireless sensor systems of today as well as early results from new ideas that introduce promising approaches that will define the challenges in the wireless sensor systems of tomorrow. We especially welcome papers reporting on results that refute common assumptions, deployment experiences, novel and original approaches, and, more generally, papers that will help inform and guide research. The EmNets Program Committee discourages submissions that are short versions of papers that will be submitted to other conferences in the near future, since its goal is to engage the research community in a discussion of future challenges and issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Validation/refutation of prior results Application experiences: measurements, successes and failures Future applications: requirements and challenges Hardware platforms, tradeoffs, and trends Data and network storage Delay-tolerant networking Management, debugging, and troubleshooting Network and software reliability Network and system architectures Software bug detection and tools Energy sources, scavenging, and low-power operation Human-Computer interfaces for sensornets Benchmarks and evaluation suites All papers will be subject to peer review.
