2009 International Workshop on Mobile, Multimedia, Ad Hoc & Sensor
Networks
(MMASN 2009)
http://www.ece.ubc.ca/~minchen/mmasn2009.htm
In conjunction with
The 8th International Conference on Pervasive Intelligence and
Computing
(PICOM 2009)
www.cs.iupui.edu/~ydai/Picom09/
============================================================
Overview
Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks have received tremendous attentions from both
academic
community and industry field for many years, since these networks are
the key
underlying infrastructure for realizing next generation networking and
computing,
e.g., ubiquitous computing, 4 G all IP networks. Along with the fast
development
on the hardware and embedded systems, Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks are
further
developed towards a large number of mobile & multimedia applications,
e.g., video
surveillance, traffic enforcement and control systems, advanced health
care
delivery, structural health monitoring, and industrial process control.
To
eventually realizing these mobility & multimedia technologies combined
applications,
a lot of efforts are still needed from both academic community and
industry field,
since the requirements on supporting both mobility and multimedia
streaming in
Wireless Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks positioned many challenging issues,
e.g., mobile
network self-organization, limited resource intelligent allocation,
cross-layer
optimization, and intelligent content-aware transmission.
In this workshop, we solicit research papers on all aspects of mobile,
multimedia,
Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks. Especially, we are interested in the research
submissions
focusing on the following four key aspects: 1) Congestion control
problem: when
multiple multimedia source nodes are deployed in wireless multimedia
sensor networks,
and they try to send out the streaming data to a single base station at
the same time,
a well designed congestion control scheme is essentially necessary; 2)
Mobility
support problem: when both multimedia source nodes and sink node can be
mobile, it is
easy to see that there is an opportunity to apply the game theory to
further solve
some more complicated optimization problems; 3) Duty-cycle support
problem: when
sensor nodes in the wireless multimedia sensor networks are random
duty-cycled based,
the network topology and connectivity of sensor networks can change from
time to time.
It is important to further investigate a cross layer optimized sensor
node sleeping
scheduling scheme to guarantee the network connectivity for packet
delivery; 4) Target
tracking problem: when multiple video sensor nodes are deployed to
tracking a certain
target in the sensor networks, it is important to further explore the
collaboration
between multiple video sensor nodes for facilitating the target tracking
task.
The objective of this workshop is to bring together state-of-the-art
research
contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address these key
aspects of mobile,
multimedia Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks. Original papers describing
completed and
unpublished work not currently under review by any other
journal/magazine/conference/
workshop are solicited.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Scalable and flexible network architectures, deployments, and
heterogeneous applications
* New middleware, system, and underlying infrastructure
* Semantic annotation for multimedia streams processing and management
* Protocols for supporting real-time and reliable multimedia streaming
* Energy-efficient multimedia gathering, transmission, traffic
management, and sensor data
management
* Scalability and mobility issues in cross-layer design, and
optimization for effective
communications
* Context/content aware approaches for facilitating multimedia streaming
* Secure multimedia streaming and transmission, QoS and admission
control
* Cooperative transmission for multimedia delivery, and collaborative
in-network
processing
* Experimental and test bed studies, simulation tools
* Joint multimedia processing and communication solutions
* Low-bit rate and energy-efficient multimedia source coding
* Capacity modeling, performance analysis, and theoretical analysis
* Topology control and synchronization protocols
* Delay-tolerant networking and physical layer technologies
* Distributed source coding, and lightweight multimedia encoding
techniques
* Multimedia aggregation and fusion, and multimedia sensor coverage
