[Tccc] CFP: 6th International Workshop on Data Management for Sensor Networks (DMSN'09)

6th International Workshop on Data Management for Sensor Networks (DMSN'09)

To be held in conjunction with VLDB 2009

August 24, 2009, Lyon, FRANCE

WORKSHOP AIM

The DMSN Workshop covers all important aspects of sensor data management,
including data acquisition, processing, and storage in remote wireless
networks; the handling of uncertain sensor data; and the management of
heterogeneous and sometimes sensitive sensor data. The resource-constrained,
lossy, noisy, distributed, and remote nature of wireless sensor networks
implies that traditional database techniques often cannot be applied without
significant retooling. Challenges associated with acquiring, processing, and
archiving large-scale, heterogeneous sets of live sensor data also call for
novel data management techniques. The inherently incomplete and noisy nature
of sensor data further calls for techniques for data cleaning, inference,
and
approximation. Finally, in many applications, the collecting of sensor data
raises important privacy and security concerns that require new protection
and
anonymization techniques.


TOPICS OF INTEREST

We solicit papers that address important aspects of sensor data management.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

- database languages for sensor tasking
- distributed sensor data storage and indexing
- data replication and consistency in noisy and lossy sensor networks
- energy-efficient data acquisition and dissemination
- in-network query processing
- networking support for data processing
- model-based sensor data processing
- query optimization and deployment planning in sensor networks
- managing loss, noise, and ambiguity in sensor data streams and sensor
databases
- integration of live and stored sensor data
- challenges and techniques for new types of sensor data: e.g., RFID,
images and videos, data from scientific and medical instruments
- integration of sensor data of different modalities and from different
sources
- personal, ubiquitous applications of sensor-based infrastructures
- techniques for secure sensor data collection and processing
- privacy protection techniques for sensor data
- collecting and publishing of large sensor data sets
- data stream management
- complex event detection and processing
- systems issues as they relate to the main topics of the workshop

Submitted papers must not have been published or currently be under
consideration for publication at another venue.

We are particularly interested in position papers, vision papers, system
designs, and papers that address new challenges for sensor data management.

Besides regular paper submissions, DMSN 2009 also welcomes the submission of
software demonstration proposals, to foster interaction on hot topics and
ongoing work.

Questions about the workshop scope should be directed to the program
committee
chairs at dmsn09@inf.ethz.ch.


IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission: Fri, May 15, 2009
Notification: Fri, Jul 3, 2009
Camera-ready copy due: Fri, Jul 17, 2009
Workshop: Mon, Aug 24, 2009


SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

All submissions will be handled electronically using the Conference
Management
System made available to us by Microsoft Research. Detailed submission
instructions are posted on the DMSN'09 web site:
http://dmsn09.inf.ethz.ch/

Full papers and demo proposals in PDF format must be submitted by May 15th,
2009. Papers should be in the ACM Proceedings camera-ready format and must
be at most 6 pages long for regular papers, and at most 2 pages long for
demo proposals.

Demonstration proposals should outline the context and highlights of the
software to be presented, and briefly describe the demo scenario. We
encourage
the joint submission of research papers describing new concepts and
fundamental
results and of demo proposals of software developed based on those new
concepts.

Questions about the submission process should be directed to the program
co-chairs at: dmsn09@inf.ethz.ch.


WORKSHOP FORMAT

Our goal is to bridge communities by bringing together interested
researchers
from different communities to identify future research challenges and
opportunities. As such, the workshop will be organized in a way to foster
interaction and exchange of ideas among the participants. We expect to have
longer than usual question-and-answer periods after paper presentations, one
keynote speech, and an interactive demo session.
