[Apologies for multiple postings] ALGOSENSORS 06 LATEST NEWS: - Keynote Speakers: Prof. Christos Papadimitriou (University of California at Berkeley, USA) Prof. P.R. Kumar (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA) - It has now been confirmed that Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag/Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). - Selected high quality papers will be considered for publication in a Special Issue on Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks of the Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) Journal. ------------- Final CFP follows -------- ALGOSENSORS 06: International Workshop on Algorithmic Aspects of Wireless Sensor Networks July 15 2006, Venice, Italy To be held in conjunction with ICALP 2006 http://ru1.cti.gr/algosensors06/ SCOPE Wireless ad-hoc sensor networks have recently become a very active research subject due to their high potential of providing diverse services to numerous important applications, including remote monitoring and tracking in environmental applications and low maintenance ambient intelligence in everyday life. The effective and efficient realization of such large scale, complex ad-hoc networking environments requires intensive, coordinated technical research and development efforts, especially in power aware, scalable, robust wireless distributed protocols, due to the unusual application requirements and the severe resource constraints of the sensor devices. On the other hand, a solid foundational background seems necessary for sensor networks to achieve their full potential. It is a challenge for abstract modelling, algorithmic design and analysis to achieve provably efficient, scalable and fault-tolerant realizations of such huge, highly-dynamic, complex, non-conventional networks. Features including the extremely large number of sensor devices in the network, the severe power, computating and memory limitations, their dense, random deployment and frequent failures, pose new interesting abstract modeling, algorithmic design, analysis and implementation challenges. This Workshop aims to bring together research contributions related to diverse algorithmic aspects of wireless sensor networks. TOPICS Contributions solicited cover a variety of topics including (but not limited to): * Models of sensor networks * Methods for ad hoc deployment/topology control * Energy management * Data propagation and routing * Localization * Tracking * Data aggregation/data compression * Obstacle avoidance * Power saving schemes * Communication protocols * Medium access control * Security and trust * Distributed computing issues KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: - Prof. Christos Papadimitriou, University of California at Berkeley, USA - Prof. P.

TC6 meeting travel directions
by Augusto Casaca 14 Apr '06

14 Apr '06

Dear colleagues, Complementing my last message which was concerned with the hotel booking for our TC6 meeting in Coimbra let me give you also some preliminary travel directions to Coimbra. You can fly either to Lisboa or Porto airport. Porto is 100 km away from Coimbra and Lisboa 200 kms. You need to take a train to go either from Porto or Lisboa to Coimbra. The best connection between both airports and the respective train stations is by taxi. In Porto I was informed that the taxi should cost about 20 €.. In Lisboa the maximum fare should be in the same order of magnitude or, even less. Probably in May you might have available a brand new metro connecting the Porto airport to the train station, but not in Lisboa. There are several train stations in Lisboa and Porto. You should go to the Campanhã train station in Porto and to the Oriente train station in Lisboa. These are the most suitable ones to go to Coimbra, although other alternatives are possible. In Coimbra the train arrives in Coimbra-B. From there you can either take a local train (included in the ticket price) to Coimbra city center or follow directly to your hotel. I give you a link to the Portuguese train company so that you can check the best connections available. I am afraid that the timetable of May is not yet fixed, but you might have a close idea of the possibilities by looking at the available timetables there: <http://www.cp.pt/cp/displayPage.do?vgnextoid=87cbd5abe2a74010VgnVCM1000007b…> http://www.cp.pt/cp/displayPage.do?vgnextoid=87cbd5abe2a74010VgnVCM1000007b… Later on I might send you more detailed travel directions if required.

[Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.] Eighth International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems (formerly Symposium on Self-stabilizing Systems) (SSS 2006) November 17th-19th, 2006, Dallas, Texas, USA. http://www.irisa.fr/sss/2006/ ====================================================================== Important Dates Paper Submission: July 7th, 2006 Notification to Authors: August 21st, 2006 Camera-ready: August 31st, 2006 Symposium: November 17th-19th, 2006 ====================================================================== The Symposium is a prestigious international forum for researchers and practitioners in the design and development of fault-tolerant distributed systems with self-* properties, such as self-stabilizing, self-configuring, self-organizing, self-managing, self-repairing, self-healing, self-optimizing, self-adaptive, and self-protecting. The theory of self-stabilization has been enriched in the last 25 years by high quality research contributions in the areas of algorithmic techniques, formal methodologies, model theoretic issues, and composition techniques. All these areas are essential to the understanding and maintenance of self-* properties in fault-tolerant distributed systems. Research in distributed systems is now at a crucial point in its evolution, marked by the importance of dynamic systems such as peer-to-peer networks, large-scale wireless sensor networks, mobile ad hoc networks, robotic networks, etc. Moreover, new applications such as grid and web services, banking and e-commerce, e-health and robotics, aerospace and avionics, automotive, industrial process control, etc. have joined the traditional applications of distributed systems. Now, more than ever, the theory of self-stabilization has tremendous impact in these areas. Therefore, this year, we are extending the scope of the symposium to cover all safety and security related aspects of self-* systems. The title of the conference has been changed to reflect this expansion. There will be three tracks: networking, safety and security, and self-* properties in static and dynamic systems. The symposium solicits contributions on all aspects of self-stabilization, safety and security, recovery oriented systems and programing, from theoretical contributions, to reports of the actual experience of applying the principles of self-stabilization to static and dynamic systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Stabilization: - self-stabilizing systems - self-managed, self-assembling, autonomic and adaptive systems - self-optimizing and self-protecting systems - self-* abstractions for implementing fundamental services in static and dynamic distributed systems - impossibility results and lower bounds for self-* systems - application of stabilizing algorithms and techniques in dynamic distributed systems - data and code stabilization - algorithms for self-* error detection/correction Safety: - safety critical systems - trust models and specifications - semantics of trust, distrust, mistrust, over-trust, cheat, risk and reputation - trust-related security and privacy - reliable and dependable systems - fault-tolerant systems, hardware redundancy, robustness, survivable systems, failure recovery Security: - security of network protocols - security of sensor and mobile networks protocols - secure architectures, frameworks, policy, intrusion detection/awareness - proactive security - self-* properties and their relation with classical fault-tolerance and security - security protocols for self-* systems Networks and Applications: - models of fault-tolerant communication - stochastic, physical, and biological models to analyze self-* properties - communication complexity - data structures for efficient communication - self-stabilizing hardware, software, and middleware - algorithms for high-speed networks, sensors, wireless and robots networks - mobile agents - peer-to-peer networks, sensor networks, MANETs, and wireless mesh networks - network topologies, overlays, and protocols - protocols for secure and reliable data transport and search in wireless mesh networks - information storage and sharing in wireless mesh networks Contributors are invited to submit a PDF file of their paper. Submissions should be no longer than 4800 words and should not exceed 12 pages on letter-size paper using at least 11 point font and reasonable margins (the page limit includes all figures, tables, and graphs). Submissions should include a cover page (that does not count towards the 12 page limit) that includes paper title, authors and affiliations, contact author's e-mail address, an abstract of the work in a few lines, and a few keywords. Submitted papers may have appendices beyond the 12 page limit, but reviewers are free to disregard any material beyond the 12 page limit. A paper submitted to SSS 2006 is expected to be original research not previously published; a submission may not be concurrently submitted or to any other conference, workshop, or journal. The proceedings of the conference are expected to be published in the Springer Verlag LNCS series. Selected papers will appear in a special issue of a high quality journal devoted to SSS 2006.
