[Tccc] PerNEM 2010 Call for Papers

 Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this announcement

******************************************************************

PerNEM 2010 Call for Papers

The First Annual Workshop on Pervasive Networks for Emergency Management
(In conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2010)
http://san.ee.ic.ac.uk/pernem2010/

Mannheim, Germany, March 29 - April 2, 2010

Scope
-----

The events that took place on 11 September 2001 have brought to the
forefront the unique challenges that occur during a crisis, which
require effective sensing, communications and decision making with
demanding time constraints in highly dynamic environments. Pervasive
systems address these requirements by providing decision support to
rescuers and evacuees, guaranteeing communications and collecting
information that is vital for planning and organising the emergency
operation. This workshop focuses on pervasive networked sensing and
decision making, both wired and wireless, geared towards emergency
management. PerNEM 2010 addresses leading edge research in these areas
through the use of sensing, communication, decision support,
simulation tools and modelling methods with focus on system design,
optimisation and experimental evaluation.

Topics
-------

PerNEM will bring together contributions which include but are not
limited to the following areas:

* Networked sensors for emergency management
* Pervasive middleware for emergency management
* Decentralised algorithms for pervasive systems
* Self-aware and self- adaptive network design and evaluation
* Network self-healing, security and self-defence
* Wireless Networks for emergency support
* Mobile sensors for disaster monitoring
* Networked robotics for wireless communications
* Pervasive emergency management systems
* QoS in critical communications

Registration and Submission Details
-----------------------------------

Accepted papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE digital
libraries (Xplore), showing their affiliation with IEEE PerCom.

Submitted papers should be no longer than 6 pages in length, and
formatted to 2 columns, 10pt fonts, using the IEEE Computer Society
