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!
Best regards,
Guy

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
