>-----Original Message----- >From: Serge Fdida [mailto:serge.fdida@lip6.fr] >Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 4:46 PM >To: Ioannis Stavrakakis >Cc: bamba.Gueye(a)rp.lip6.fr >Subject: Fwd: Geographic Location of Internet Hosts > >Dear Ioannis, >Can you circulate this request on your IFIP mailing list >thanks a lot serge -------------------------------------------------------- Dear colleague, We are developping the GeoLIM project (http://planetlab-01.ipv6.lip6.fr:10000/cbg.php) <http://planetlab-01.ipv6.lip6.fr:10000/cbg.php)%A0> that aims at providing the geographic location of an Internet host using solely its IP address. The key element of GeoLIM is its ability to transform delay measurements between landmarks (probe machines) and a target host, into geographic distance constraints. It uses multilateration - alike GPS - to estimate the geographic location of the target host. We're seeking your help, looking for various types of network access, as for instance, with the same IP adress, estimate your location when you access the internet through a low or high-speed line (telephone or DSL/LAN). We ask you to test the geolocation solution through the above web page. This will take you no more than 3 minutes! Just Click on http://planetlab-01.ipv6.lip6.fr:10000/cbg.php We're also looking for more Landmark nodes (nodes used to provide the coordinates of the system, therefore, we need to be able to ping a host whose location is known). We'll be glad if you could provide us with such a host. Do not hesitate to distribute this mail to colleagues interested. The test is carried out on Planetlab (http://www.planet-lab.org/). We thank you for your contribution. More details about our algorithm can be found at (http://rp.lip6.fr/~gueye/articles/imc.pdf) Contact : bamba.gueye(a)lip6.fr ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Serge Fdida http://www.lip6.fr/rp/~sf

CFP SensorWare
by Boon Sain Yeo 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

(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 Chen, 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.
