CFP - SensorWare 2006 (deadline extended)

von Boon Sain Yeo

(My apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message) *********************************************************** 1st International Workshop on Software for Sensor Networks (SensorWare) - CFP *********************************************************** Welcome to the 1st International Workshop on Software for Sensor Networks (SensorWare) to be held on the 8 January 2006. The workshop is held in conjunction with COMSWARE 2006 in the beautiful and historical city of New Delhi. Advances in technology have made deployment of miniature sensors a realistic proposition. These sensors are low-power, inexpensive, smart devices with multiple on-board sensors, and are connected through wireless links, so as to form a collaborative sensor network to perform a specific task. As a result, it opens up a new paradigm of ubiquitous computing and enables a range of applications that are previously unrealizable or too costly to be realized. However, given the limitation of on-board hardware, one of the key areas towards achieving superior performance is through the software implementation. The workshop is intended for the presentation and discussion of novel algorithms and software implementation for sensor networks. This workshop, intends to bring together engineering experts and academicians to discuss the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and applications in the form of panels and technical presentation. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: Operating System Efficient algorithms Protocol design Performance analysis Performance related issues Sensor applications Deployment issues and scenarios Middleware Sensor security Sensor network design and modeling Workshop co-chairs: Nirmala Shenoy (ns(a)rit.edu), RIT, USA Boon Sain Yeo (boonyeo(a)ieee.org), Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore TPC Members: Holger Karl, University of Paderborn, Germany, Ling-Jyh Chen, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Kui Wu, University of Victoria, Canada, Daeyoung Kim, ICU, Korea Leonard Barolli, Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan, Wei-Peng, Fujitsu Labs of America, USA Jason Redi, BBN Technologies, USA Biao Chen, Syracuse University, USA Hairong Qi, University of Tennessee, USA Xiaojun Cao, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA Xin Wang, University of Buffalo, USA James Minseok Kwon, RIT, USA Wenye Wang, North Carolina State University, USA Fei Hu, RIT, USA Robin Chellappa, Deakin Univeristy, Australia Technical Papers has to be submitted to the co-chairs at boonyeo(a)ieee.org.

CFP: IEEE Workshop on Dependability and Security in Sensor Networks and Systems

von Moustafa Youssef

(Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP) ------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers Second IEEE Workshop on Dependability and Security in Sensor Networks and Systems (DSSNS'2006) http://www.dssns.org In conjunction with 2nd NASA/IEEE Systems and Software Week 30th NASA/IEEE Software Engineering Workshop (SEW'2006) Columbia, Maryland, USA ~ April 24-28, 2006 Recently, there has been a growing interest in the potential use of networked sensors in applications such as smart environments, disaster management, combat field reconnaissance, and security surveillance. While the initial view of the community was that networked sensors will play a complementary role that enhances the quality of these applications, recent research results have encouraged practitioners to envision an increased reliance on sensor networks and systems (SN&S) in such critical and sensitive applications. Therefore to realize their potential, necessary dependability and security (D&S) measures have to be incorporated in the design and during the operation of SN&S. Dependability is usually specified using attributes like reliability, survivability, safety, maintainability, and availability in presence of failure, while security is specified by attributes like integrity, authenticity, confidentiality, and availability in presence of attacks. D&S services accomplish tasks for attack and failure prevention, detection and response. The scope of D&S services may span the deployed sensors to command nodes and likely beyond. It also involves D&S support at, and cross-cutting, the protocol stack layers from physical to application. Achieving dependability and security in SN&S will require non-conventional mechanisms due to many factors including: (1) sensors are significantly constrained in the amount of available resources such as energy, storage and computation; (2) sensors are expected to be deployed in very large numbers in normal as well as harsh/hostile environments; (3) sensor networks suffer from structural weakness and limited physical protection, and (4) localization of impact is complicated due to the un-tethered nature of SN&S and of the potential attackers. In addition, D&S requirements may vary according to mission defined over a multi-dimensional context, such as field of deployment (e.g., hostile versus friendly), type of application (e.g., monitoring, tracking, data collection), mode of operation (e.g., normal, exception, post-event recovery), and time. This workshop will foster a forum for discussing and presenting recent research results on dependability and security in SN&S. Topics of interest include, although not limited to, the following: - Fault and intrusion-tolerant architectures, middleware and operational models - Robust routing, storage, and processing of sensed data - D&S architectures, protocols and tools - Vulnerabilities, attacks and countermeasures - Monitoring and evaluation techniques - Robust clustering techniques - Self-awareness and context-awareness - Resilient virtual infrastructures - Autonomic and adaptive D&S support. - Formal representation and verification of D&S properties - Network inference support for D&S - Quality of service provisioning - Models, metrics, and measurements for D&S - Privacy-aware D&S services - Testbeds, simulation and visualization - Agent-based D&S management - SN&S support for D&S in larger information grids - SN&S application development environments Submission Guidelines --------------------- For guidelines regarding paper submission, please refer to the workshops website (http://www.dssns.org). Papers should contain original material and not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. The manuscript should not exceed 20 single-column double-space pages in PDF format, font size 11 or larger. The first page should include title, authors' contact information, abstract and five keywords. Important Dates ---------------- Submission deadline: November 7, 2005 Decision notification: December 20, 2005 Final manuscript due: January 20, 2006 The accepted papers will appear in a proceedings published by IEEE. The best paper will be recognized and selected papers will be invited to a Special Issue of the Journal of Ad Hoc and Sensor Wireless Networks.
