[Tccc] CFP ISSNIP Symposium on Integration of the Digital and Physical World in the Network of the Future

CALL FOR PAPERS
***********************************************************************
International Symposium on Integration of the Digital and Physical World in the Network of the Future, Melbourne, Australia, December 7-10, 2009, co-located with ISSNIP'09
URL: http://www.issnip.org/2009/symposia.html#DigPhysical
***********************************************************************

Recently, Future Internet research has attracted a lot of attention across the globe with a number of initiatives such as the Future Internet Assembly in Europe, GENI in the US and AKARI in Japan. A common theme is the requirement to adopt an all encompassing approach taking into account requirements and views from a number of angles: networking protocols, socio-economics, services, security, etc.
An important aspect of the network of the future is provision of support for integration of the physical world into the global network and making the physical world "clickable".
Sensors and actuators located in open space or attached to existing objects, RFID enabled items, and generally many heterogeneous devices with communication and computational capabilities will be integrated into the fabric of the Internet, providing an accurate reflection of the real world, delivering fine-grained information and enabling almost real time interaction between the virtual world and real world.
The goal of the symposium is to bring together researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and results from different national and regional initiatives (in particular Europe and Australasia) addressing the real world aspect of the Future Internet.

The main topics of interest include the following:

* Architecture for a real world internet, semantic sensor web and the internet of things, including design principles, rules and guidelines for real world integration, system concepts and protocol architectures
* Context management system and context information infrastructures, including context perception and acquisition, context modelling and representation, context processing and reasoning, context diffusion and dissemination
* Discovery services, resolution infrastructures and lookup services for the real world internet and the internet of things
* Integration of real world information and interaction capabilities into enterprise system architectures, including cross-layer collaboration and interaction between web services and resources of the internet of things
* Studies considering traffic patterns of large scale sensor network interaction and M2M communication evaluating their impact on existing/future fixed and mobile network infrastructures
* Socio-economic considerations for a Real World Internet and the Internet of Things, including business models, concepts for information ownership and enforcement, models for de-centralised governance of the infrastructure for the real world internet and the Internet of Things
* Large scale testbeds and experimental facilities for the real world internet and the Internet of Things including planned national and international initiatives

A one day symposium is envisaged with a combination of invited talks and talks accepted from the open call.

Approximately 8-10 papers/presentations are expected with a knowledge café session organized at the end to discuss a selected few topics.
