[交流] The First ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor

会议城市: 伊斯坦布尔 是否Ei/ISTP收录: Ei/ISTP双收录 截稿日期: 2012年6月4号 The First ACM Annual International Workshop on Mission-Oriented Wireless Sensor Networking (ACM MiSeNet 2012) In conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2012 Istanbul, Turkey, August 22-26, 2012 https://www-personal.engin.umd.u ... t_Workshop2012.html Call for Papers Scope and Aim of ACM MiSeNet 2012 Mission-oriented sensor networks are next-generation time-varying systems composed of both humans and mobile sensors (e.g., vehicle-mounted, human-operated, or integrated with mobile robots or UAVs) that collaborate and coordinate to successfully accomplish complex real-time missions under uncertainty. A major challenge in the design of mission-oriented sensor networks arises in supporting dynamic topology and disruption-tolerant architecture, caused by mobility, which has significant impact on performance in terms of sensing coverage, network connectivity, and information quality. In such dynamic environments, sensors should self-organize and reason in a distributed manner about resource allocation, scheduling, forwarding, caching, and in-network storage to accomplish specific missions, while extending the operational network lifetime. Another major challenge lies in accommodating human input. Humans are the ultimate sensors. They are well-equipped to monitor and report situations that would be very difficult for machine sensors to understand. They also come with their own challenges including imperfect reliability, bias, and relative lack of predictability (compared to well-calibrated sensors). The design of mission-oriented sensor networks, where humans and sensors collaborate, should account for trade-offs between several attributes such energy consumption (due to mobility, sensing, and communication), reliability, fault-tolerance, data collection latency, and quality of information (such as video resolution, picture quality, type of content, degree of redundancy, and level of summarization), and their impact on mission objectives. It should accommodate human-centric sensing modalities such as free-form text, pictures, sound, and video, and should include mechanisms to handle unpredictability, uncertainty, human error, and noise. ACM MiSeNet 2012 aims to provide a forum for participants from academia and industry to discuss topics in mission-oriented sensor network research and practice. ACM MiSeNet 2012 serves as incubator for scientific communities that share a particular research agenda in this area. ACM MiSeNet 2012 will provide them with opportunities to understand the major technical and application challenges as well as exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas related to architecture, protocols, algorithms, and application design, at a stage before they have matured to warrant conference/journal publications. ACM MiSeNet 2012 seeks papers that present novel theoretical and practical ideas as well as work in-progress, which will lead to the development of solid foundations for the design, analysis, and implementation of energy-efficient, reliable, and secure mission-oriented networked sensing applications. The topics of interest to ACM MiSeNet 2012 workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:      Theoretical foundations of mission-oriented networked sensing      Modeling and analysis of mission-oriented sensor networks      System design, implementation, and evaluation      Medium access control and scheduling      Human factors, data cleaning, and noise      Human-centric sensing modalities and quality of information      Cross-layer design      Software architectures for mission-oriented sensing      Self-organization, self-configuration, and energy efficiency      Coverage and connectivity issues      Collaboration of humans and sensors      Deployment and localization      Uncertainty, opportunistic communication, and data fusion      Topology control and fault-tolerance      Routing and data dissemination      In-network data storage and processing      Sensor database management and spatio-temporal data      Target detection and tracking      Privacy and security      Testbed design and real-world applications General Chair      Tarek Abdelzaher (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA) Program Chair      Habib M.

Ammari (University of Michigan- Dearborn , USA) Submission Guidelines ACM MiSeNet 2012 Workshop will consider only original papers that are not currently under review by other workshops, conferences, or journals, and have not been published. All papers submitted to ACM MiSeNet 2012 will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on their suitability ( i.e. , within the workshop scope), novelty, and merit. Submitted papers are limited to 6 pages. ACM MiSeNet 2012 will also consider technical demos and posters that present original and significant research within the workshop scope. Submitted demos/posters are limited to 2 pages. In the case of a demo, the authors should clearly specify, in an email to both of the General Chair and Program Chair, the additional resources that are needed. Power and wireless Internet connectivity will be available at the workshop. All submissions should be formatted in standard ACM conference style for publication in the conference Proceedings. They must be single-spaced, double-column, with each column 9.25" by 3.33", 0.33" space between columns, use at least a 10pt font, and be correctly formatted to be printed on Letter-sized (8.5" by 11" paper. It is required that at least one author of each accepted paper/demo/poster register and attend the ACM MiSeNet 2012 workshop to present their work to ensure its publication in the ACM MobiCom 2012 conference Proceedings. We strongly encourage people from both of the industry and academia to submit their fine work to ACM MiSeNet 2012.
