-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Call for Papers
3rd International IEEE Symposium on Advanced Networks and
Telecommunication Systems (ANTS)
IEEE ANTS 2009

December, 14-16, 2009, New Delhi, India
http://www.ieee-ants.org

Scope: Broadband networks are witnessing a convergence in both
technologies and delivered services. Next-generation services require
unified and scalable technologies spread across the network protocol
layers facilitating a converged service model across all partitions of
the network. Advanced integrated systems and network platforms have
benefits in terms of deployment cost as well as the ability to provision
new services. Motivated by the tremendous success of the first two IEEE
ANTS events in Mumbai in 2007 and 2008, which highlighted advances in
systems and networking, the theme of IEEE ANTS 2009 continues to be
communication systems and networking technologies for realizing
converged ubiquitous broadband connectivity. To achieve this goal, the
symposium will feature a technical program of previously unpublished
papers, tutorials, talks, and panels on relevant topics bringing
together experts from academia, industry, government and the user
community who are involved in the research, design, development,
deployment, regulation and application of communication and networking
technologies. The symposium will cover technologies that facilitate
broadband connectivity and cover advances in the service, networking,
transport and user equipment domains. Making ubiquitous broadband
affordable is driving service providers, network operators, and OEMs
(Original Equipment Manufacturers) towards converged network solutions
and services as a way to reduce CAPEX and OPEX. Further, cost-effective
research and development partnerships with knowledge economies in India,
China, and Eastern Europe are being increasingly leveraged as can be
gauged by the growth of ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers) and
software service providers. IEEE ANTS 2009 provides a common meeting
ground for the confluence and exchange of ideas with a rich mix of
participation from the academia, global industry and other stakeholders.
The symposium will be held in the capital of India – New Delhi – during
December 14-16, 2009.
Recognizing the growth of IEEE ANTS in its first two years, IEEE ANTS
2009 will feature four areas covering a variety of topics consistent
with the theme of Converged Networks.

Call for Papers

------------------

The move from an industrial economy to a knowledge economy has enabled
the growth

of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) globally. The low cost of
computer hardware

and peripherals, as well as the popularity of open source software and
wireless

networks has enabled SMEs to implement IT systems that were previously
only

available for large corporations. For example, SMEs in sectors such as
manufacturing,

transportation / logistics, application service provider (asp) and
retail stores all have an

online presence. Some of these SMEs have an integrated backend system
with their

online website. While these SMEs have used IT solutions to enhance their
business

processes, there is little information regarding the digital security
used in these

enterprises. The objective of this special session is to provide an
opportunity to meet

and share the current digital security practises among SMEs and to
propose state-ofthe-

art research ideas in the development of innovative security devices,
security

applications / packages and security policies that are cost effective,
easy to adopt and

implement in IT systems used in SMEs. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:

- High availability and fault tolerant systems

- Incident discovery and recovery

- Security models and risk management

- e-Enterprise / e-Commerce and e-Government

- Information and data security

- Trustworthiness and privacy

- Guidelines, policies and implementation

We are looking forward to receiving your paper.

Best regards,

Jaipal Singh

Scope
-----
Wireless and Mobile communication networks offer organizations and users several
benefits, such as portability, mobility and flexibility, while increasing everyday
business productivity, and reducing installation cost. Wireless Local Area Networks,
for instance, have been used in various environments, such as business, home,
conference centers, airports and many more, allowing users to move from place to
place, avoiding cabling restrictions and without being disconnected from the network.
Ad Hoc Networks are collections of wireless computers communicating among themselves
over possibly multihop paths, without the help of any infrastructure such as base
stations or access points; these networks allow data synchronization with network
systems and application sharing between devices. Mobile Ad Hoc Networks are autonomous
collection of mobile entities that communicate over relatively bandwidth constrained
wireless links, establishing survivable, efficient, dynamic communication for emergency
operations. Wireless Ad Hoc Sensor Networks consist of a number of sensors spread
across a geographical area, offering certain capabilities and enhancements in
operational efficiency in civilian applications, as well as assisting in international
effort to increase alertness to potential threats.
However, although Wireless and Mobile communication environments eliminate many of the
problems associated with traditional wired networks, the new security and privacy risks
introduced by such environments need to be reduced by exploiting appropriate security
measures and safeguards, ensuring an acceptable level of overall residual hazard.
The objectives of the SecPri_WiMob 2009 Workshop are to bring together researchers from
research communities in Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications,
Security and Privacy, with the goal of fostering interaction

             http://conferences.computer.org/wimob2009/

Scope
-----
Over the last two decades, the focus of much computer research has shifted from desktop
systems intended to make workers more productive to intelligent environments and mobile
devices that explicitly and implicitly interact with people in the many different
contexts they inhabit and in the many different roles they enact. While the model of one
person to one desktop computer is still valid, there are many new interaction models that
must be investigated. Many of the most interesting and unanswered questions raised by the
growth of ubiquitous computing relate to social issues. Questions researchers face
include (i) how do ubiquitous computing systems or devices influence and assist in
people's social performances? (ii) how do intelligent systems that take autonomous action
influence people's sense of control and sense of self in social situations? (iii) how does
the interjection of computing into social spaces such as homes, cafes, parks, malls, and
entertainment venues affect the meaning of these space and create new opportunities for
computing to bring value to people's lives? and (iv) how can we build ubiquitous
environments and applications that improve people's social interactions?

This workshop will bring together researchers investigating the social issues, implications,
and opportunities of UbiComp from many different perspectives. We expect researchers with
backgrounds in contextual awareness, security and privacy, intelligent environments, mobile
computing, user research, major application areas, and interaction design. The outcomes will
be an improved understanding from across the different disciplines and sub-disciplines
working in this domain to the main challenges (both technical and social) to developing
successful UbiComp systems that both operate in complex social environments and improve
the quality of people's lives.

Topics of Interest
------------------
The areas of contributions to the workshop include a broad range of challenges related to
the design of socially appropriate ubiquitous computing systems. We especially encourage
submissions related to the following topics:
- Collaborative control of intelligent environments
- Multi-player interactive gaming and story telling with locative elements
- Social media applications
- Interconnection of web 2.0 data and activities to physical environments and objects
- Privacy & security issues for social UbiComp applications
- Virtualization and visualization of people, places, and things
- Location-based applications
- Middleware to support socially-oriented ubiquitous computing
- Techniques for inferring or extracting social context in UbiComp environments
- Application studies, both with live users and in simulation
- Design and prototyping methods for identifying hidden social barriers to UbiComp applications
- UbiComp systems that support initiation and strengthening of social connections
- Middleware to support autonomic computing in a human environment

[Mycolleagues] Second International Workshop on War and Peace Driving

             

                          Call for Papers
 
      Second International Workshop on War and Peace Driving
                           (WPDWiMob’09)

      http://www.glyndwr.ac.uk/computing/research/wimob2009/
 

                        In conjunction with
                            WiMob 2009
                         Marrakech, Morocco
                      October 12th-14th, 2009

             http://conferences.computer.org/wimob2009/

Scope
-----
The scope of the workshop covers issues relating to both security technologies and the
socio-economical impact of the widespread uptake of wireless networking by those in business,
industry and the general public.

The term war driving is widely recognised as describing the activities undertaken by those
who may intend to illegally access a computer network. As one method of addressing security
concerns and raising awareness of these issues, we propose the term peace driving to begin
to describe exploration and research activities within the wireless domain.

Wireless networking is incredibly widespread and is now commonplace in industry, academia,
business, and the home. The very nature of wireless radio signals means that physical
security measures have all but become redundant in protecting computer systems and networks
from unauthorised access. This means that software-based security is now of paramount
importance. Access control, encryption and authentication are key to ensuring that intruders
remain outside the private network.

In particular, the lack of physical constraints means that security issues are becoming more
and more relevant to the casual Internet user at home, the majority of who are non-specialists.
Casual users employing wireless networking technology may not be aware of the activities taking
place without their knowledge. The uptake of wireless networking therefore impacts upon society
in general and has numerous legal, ethical and sociological issues, as well as technological.

This workshop aims to address issues relating to unwanted wireless network access, war driving,
security mechanisms, encryption, and authentication techniques. We equally value topics relating
to security awareness for the non-specialist, legal and ethical issues, and sociological matters
relating to wireless networking.

Topics of Interest
------------------
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Authentication
- Auditing tools
- Case studies
- Emerging threats & trends
- Encryption
- Ethical, social and legal issues
- Filtering
- Geographical network studies
- Intruder detection & prevention
- Network management
- Protocols & standards
- Penetration testing
- Security policies
- Security tools
- Threat analysis
- Threat tools
- User impact
- Wireless uptake

CFP: Czech Republic: Deadline extended- NDT2009

First International Conference on 'Networked Digital Technologies'  (NDT2009) Czech Republic, July 28-31, 2009 The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore http://arg.vsb.cz/ndt2009/Default.aspx The proposed conference on the above them will be be held at the VSB-Technical University, Ostrava, Czech Republic from July 28 to July 31 2009 which aims to enable researchers build connections between different digital applications. Currently a number of institutions across the countries are working to evolve better models to provide collaborative technology services for scholarship by creating shared cyberspace thro expert collaboration, but this is a challenge for the institutions for a number of reasons. In the last few years, the landscape of digital technology applications projects for the various disciplines in humanities, social sciences, and sciences appears induced by many initiatives. For the creation of research clusters, the research community has thousands of databases, websites, local computing clusters, and web-based tools around individual themes, interests and projects. In most cases, these tools and resources are and were created to meet the specific needs of a particular community. In many cases, the funding and support for these critical initiatives is fragile and temporary, and directed in piecemeal fashion.

CFP: Czech Republic: Deadline extended- NDT2009

First International Conference on 'Networked Digital Technologies'  (NDT2009) Czech Republic, July 28-31, 2009 The proceedings will be published in IEEE Xplore http://arg.vsb.cz/ndt2009/Default.aspx The proposed conference on the above them will be be held at the VSB-Technical University, Ostrava, Czech Republic from July 28 to July 31 2009 which aims to enable researchers build connections between different digital applications. Currently a number of institutions across the countries are working to evolve better models to provide collaborative technology services for scholarship by creating shared cyberspace thro expert collaboration, but this is a challenge for the institutions for a number of reasons. In the last few years, the landscape of digital technology applications projects for the various disciplines in humanities, social sciences, and sciences appears induced by many initiatives. For the creation of research clusters, the research community has thousands of databases, websites, local computing clusters, and web-based tools around individual themes, interests and projects. In most cases, these tools and resources are and were created to meet the specific needs of a particular community. In many cases, the funding and support for these critical initiatives is fragile and temporary, and directed in piecemeal fashion. There is a need to provide concerted efforts in building federated digital technologies that will enable the formation of network of digital technologies.

Currently, the success of providing novel multimedia services over wired/wireless networks depends on how good the quality of the service is and whether it meets an end user’s expectations. Thus, it is critical for equipment manufacturers, network operators and service providers to be able to assess, predict and possibly control the end-to-end perceptual multimedia (e.g., voice and video) quality for commercial and technical reasons.

The Quality of Service (QoS) perceived as user satisfaction has received through past years some effort from the research community, introducing the concept of the Quality of Experience (QoE). The evaluation of the QoE will provide an end user with a range of potential choices, covering the possibilities of low, medium, or high quality levels. This QoE evaluation will also give service providers and network operators the capability to minimize the storage and network resources by allocating only the ones that are necessary to maintain a specific level of user satisfaction.

This special issue will focus on novel accurate, efficient and robust QoE models for multimedia services, novel QoE-driven cross-layer architectures, including performance evaluation, traffic management, cross-layer solutions and Quality of Service in Next Generation Network (NGN). Topics of primary interest include, but not limited to, the following issues:

 

·         Quality of Service (QoS), Quality of Experience (QoE) and Quality of Perception (QoP) management

·         Quality-oriented multimedia content delivery architectures

·         End-user quality assessment of streamed multimedia

·         PQoS-driven cross-layer architectures

·         Adaptive solutions for unicasting, multicasting and broadcasting

·         Video quality assessment and prediction

·         Quality of service prediction and control for VoIP

·         Quality of service adaptation and control for multimedia over wireless and mobile networks

·         Content awareness for quality of service control

·         QoE aware packet scheduling

·         PQoS-driven network optimization algorithms

·         Call admissions control and congestion control

·         Quality of Service in NGN

·         QoE/QoS issues in wireless networks (e.g. IEEE 802.11x, 802.16, 3G/UMTS, etc.)

CALL FOR PAPERS
The 12th IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management
of Multimedia and Mobile Networks and Services (MMNS) will
be held in October 26 - 30, 2009 at the fascinating
Telecom Italia Future Centre, in the worldwide known and
magnificent Venice, Italy, as part of the 5th International
Week on the Management of Networks and Services (Manweek 2009).

The MMNS 2009 conference will provide participants with a
high quality and intimate setting for discussion and debate.
The conference is sponsored by the International Federation
for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on
Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, with
technical co-sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society
and specifically the Technical Committee on Network
Operations and Management (CNOM).

SCOPE OF MMNS 2009
Since 1997, MMNS has established itself as a major conference
for research and innovation in the management of multimedia
technology and networked services. The scope of the conference
has been expanded in recent years to include management of
emerging mobile and wireless networks and their integration
with more traditional network infrastructures. The objective
of the conference is to bring together researchers and scientists
from academia and industry interested in state-of-the-art
management of converged multimedia networks and services across
heterogeneous networking infrastructures, while creating a public
venue for result dissemination and intellectual collaboration.
The convergence of existing and emerging technologies such as
broadband, mobile, and broadcast networks is considered as a
promising opportunity for existing providers to increase their
service subscriber base, so that the 4G vision and beyond becomes
a reality. An important research effort is undertaken by main
actors to face the multidimensional, in terms of transport
technology, session signaling, and QoS provisioning, heterogeneity
of Next Generation Networks (NGNs). The efficient management of
wireless and wired technologies side-by-side and of the number of
multimedia services provisioned over these integrated networks is
a key ingredient in the effort to provide cost effective,
innovative, and mass-market solutions that are likely to become a
major source of income for different stakeholders. The need to
evolve management tools, solutions, platforms and methodologies to
keep pace with emerging networks is at a critical juncture with
the proliferation of mobile and wireless systems, intelligent and
broadband networks, quadruple play convergence, and the
integration of embedded systems in different domains, from smart
homes/cities to next generation automotive systems.
The academic and industry research communities should unify forces
to address the challenges of developing and operating converged
multimedia networks and services. Inevitably, integrated management
is a key element in addressing this challenge.

The MMNS 2009 technical program committee is soliciting research
papers in the broad area of network and service management that
address new models, architectures, and technological designs to
enable multimedia and mobility proliferation in NGNs. MMNS 2009
intends to continue the success of the outstanding agendas of the
past, and will emphasize and solicit novel research in the
management of wired-wireless multimedia networks and services.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Management of multimedia streaming and real-time service delivery
Management of wireless ad-hoc/mesh networks
Management of NGN/4G networks and services
Management of Service Oriented Architectures
Management of sensor networks for enhanced multimedia provisioning

network technologies hold significant potential for parallel and
distributed simulation. In particular, the promising parallel and
distributed discrete-event simulation techniques that have been
developed in the last decades may find broad application. Furthermore,
new concepts for parallel and distributed simulation may be developed.

The main aim of this track is to bring together researchers interested
in the field of parallel and distributed simulation, and provide a forum
for the presentation of novel results, applications, and an exchange of
ideas. Even though there is a focus on parallel and distributed
simulation techniques and applications, we welcome all high-quality
papers on advanced simulation techniques and will consider them for
publication.

List of topics:
- Methods and techniques for parallel and distributed simulation
- Synchronization
- Model partitioning and load balancing
- Performance studies
- Novel parallel and distributed simulation applications
- High Level Architecture
- Distributed simulation on the Grid
- Advanced simulation techniques
- Efficient discrete-event simulation tools

The list of topics is not conclusive, and all high-quality papers on

Introduction

Pervasive Computing (or ubiquitous computing) is a rapidly developing
research area cross various disciplines including

computer science, electronic engineering, mobile and wireless
communications, etc. The growing availability of

microprocessors with built-in communications facilities makes it possible
for people to obtain information and services

anytime and anywhere. Pervasive computing could have a range of applications
such as healthcare, homecare, intelligent

transportation, and environmental monitoring. However, it is quite difficult
for pervasive applications to satisfy trust,

security and privacy requirements, as a result of their ability to gather
sensitive data and change the environment via

actuating devices autonomously.

Following the success of TSP 2008 in Shanghai, China during December 17-20,
2008, "The 2009 IEEE International Symposium on

Trust, Security and Privacy for Pervasive Applications" (TSP-09) will be
held in Macau SAR, China during October 5-7, 2009,

in conjunction with "The 2009 IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc
and Sensor Systems" (IEEE MASS 2009), aims at

bringing together researchers and practitioners in the world working on
trust, security, privacy, and related issues such as

technical, social and cultural implications for pervasive devices, services,
networks, applications and systems, and

providing a forum for them to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends
in this highly challenging research area.

Scope and Interests

========================================================================
CALL FOR PAPER
Special Session on Next Generation Communication Services
2-4 Sept. 2009, Nice, France
in Mobility Conference 2009
http://www.acmmobility2009.org/
========================================================================

*** SCOPE ***
In a user perspective, communication services are evolving from
monolithic teleservices (e.g. telephony) into fragmented and
component-based service (e.g. PoC, messaging) that are aware of the
context of the user. At the same time, networks are evolving towards NGN
architecture that enables network convergence by providing ubiquitous
and unified services through heterogeneous fixed (xDSL, cable) and
wireless broadband access networks (e.g. WiMAX/WiBro, WiFi, 3G, LTE). In
a technical perspective, communications services are facing major
technical evolutions with SIP, IMS, NGN, and P2P Overlay Networks. The
stakes for communication services providers are thus to adapt services
to flexible usages through flexible service architectures, relying on
re-usable components and structured with common models. The purpose of
this special session is to present and to discuss new paradigms,
mechanisms and applications of Next Generation Communication Services.
It offers a unique opportunity for researchers in this area to exchange
their research ideas. This special session will be held in conjunction
with ACM Mobility Conference 2009, an ideal vehicle for bringing
together researchers, scientists, engineers, academics and students all
around the world to share the latest updates on new mobile technologies
that would shape the next generation of mobile systems and technology
platforms. It is co-sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE.

(IJAHUC)

Call For papers

Special Issue on: "Wireless Network Algorithm and Theory"

Guest Editors:
Xiang-Yang Li, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA

Wireless networks raise a number of interesting and undiscovered algorithmic
issues,
while traditional techniques are not sufficient to solve these problems in
the right
way. For example, the algorithms in vehicular ad hoc networks require a high
degree
of communication reliability, performance, scalability, security, and privacy-
preserving
technologies under harsh conditions. Researchers need to design practical
distributed
and centralised algorithms and to introduce novel theoretical models or
evaluation
methodologies to challenge various kinds of research problems originated from
these
wireless networks.

This special issue is intended to encourage high-quality researches in
wireless networking
algorithms, and push the theoretical and practical research forward for a
deeper understanding
in the fundamental algorithm, modeling, and analysis techniques of wireless
networks. The
special issue will additionally select high quality papers from The Second
IEEE International
Workshop on Wireless Network Algorithm and Theory (WiNA-2009, colocated with
IEEE MASS2009) to
be held in Macau SAR, China, October 2009.

OVERVIEW:
Communication networks spanning large areas are subject to frequent
failures, mostly being unintentional. The reasons include natural
disasters, as well as human errors. However, many failures are now often
the result of intentional interruptions, also referred to as malicious
attacks. Network operators thus need their networks to be reliable. One of
the means towards assuring the certain level of service reliability is to
make the networks survivable, i.e. capable of providing the continuous
service in the presence of failures.

WORKSHOP TOPICS:
The topics cover, but are not necessarily limited to the following:
- wired/wireless network survivability,
- optical networks survivability,
- models and algorithms of survivable networks design and modeling,
- methods for measurement, evaluation, or validation of survivability,
- role of redundancy in survivable networks,
- design of dedicated/shared backup paths, p-cycles and other structures,
- impact of detection accuracy and latency on survivability,
- fast service recovery,
- service resilience differentiation,
- theory and methods of reliability and availability,
- fault management and control in survivable networks,
- multilayer network survivability,
- survivability under traffic grooming in multilayer networks,
- coordination of multilayer survivability operations,
- restoration strategies under different types of failures,
- modeling malicious behaviour or attacks on networks,
- use of self-healing techniques in surviving attacks,
- self-regenerative networks.

PAPER SUBMISSION:
Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS (following the ICUMT 2009
link), or the direct link:
http://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=7697&track=7237
The total length of a paper should not exceed 6 pages formatted
according to the IEEE instructions "Template and Instructions on How to

IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on Digital Home Services

New broadband access technologies bring very high speed connectivity (in
excess of 100 Mbps) to residential users removing bandwidth constraints for
networked applications and services to the home. Furthermore, all-IP
networks enabled by platforms such as IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), SDP
(Service Delivery Platforms), and so on, offer new possibilities for
communication services, well beyond traditional PSTN-based voice. Within
this new promising landscape, providers are eager to find new innovative
applications and services (going beyond a mere dumb pipe to the home) that
satisfy the user needs. Future innovative digital home services that benefit
from network capabilities are precisely the scope of this Special Issue.

Building blocks for supporting these new services in the home are already
evident in the industry with efforts including enhanced residential
gateways, digital devices exchanging content through DLNA (Digital Living
Network Alliance) and other middleware, home automation, Internet TVs, and
so on. These efforts are pushing or pushed by user demand and expectation
for superior, convergent (across all the screens: TV, PC, mobile) and
personalized user experience which is certainly the key for the success of
all these new residential services. Users will no doubt enjoy application
features like pervasive services available everywhere at a fully automated
home, accessible through most simple multimodal interactions, personalized
to each individual user, serving all the user's communication needs, and so
on. At the same time, with new green initiatives on the horizon, all these
services will require to be attained with minimal and controlled environment
impact.

This special issue will bring together innovative contributions that
describe completed work addressing various aspects of digital home services
taking advantage of new network capabilities. Original, unpublished
contributions will be considered for the issue in the following topic areas
within the scope of services offered for residential customers in the
digital home domain:

§ Pervasive and context-aware intelligent environments that surround the
user anticipating his/her needs throughout the entire home

§ Multi-modal natural and intuitive interactions with the services
achieving ease of use

§ Middleware for multi-device applications

§ Personalized services for each home individual

§ Converged user experience

§ High-definition audio/video communications

§ Fully automated homes

§ Energy savvy applications

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS AND SCHEDULE

Articles should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style
comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Prospective
authors must prepare their in accordance with the IEEE Network guidelines to
authors, see http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/authors.html. Authors
should submit their manuscript to the guest editors according to the

Useful Remarks:

-  Welcome to Technical Group On Information Theory

 

by Toyoo Takata
Prof., Iwate Prefectural University
Chair, IEICE Technical Group on Information Theory
Engineering Sciences Society

 
Have you ever participated in our Technical Group on Information Theory? As referred in the article "What is Engineering Sciences Society?" in IEICE Global Plaza No.2 issue, our Technical Group belongs to Fundamentals on Information and Communication (FIC) Sub-Society in Engineering Sciences Society (ESS), IEICE.
  The main research theme of our group is `Information Theory', in which we promote the studies of processing, transmission, storage, and use of information. Typical keywords of our research area are: Shannon Theory, Channel Coding, Source Coding, Communication Theory, Coding Theory, Data Compression and so on. As you know, all of these topics have been studied over the past 70 years and contributed to the progress of ICT so far. They will further be the base of the future information and communications systems covering NGN or multimedia systems. The entire list of keywords can be downloaded through the following URL, http://www.ieice.org/ess/ESS/tg-e.html#it.
  One of our main academic activities is to provide workshops (technical meetings) to people who are interested in the research area. The workshops are held five or six times a year, every two months in average. In 2008 FY, the workshops were held in May, July, September, October and March, 131 papers were presented there. Above all, 29 papers were written in English and some of them were presented completely in English.
  The workshop held in July traditionally includes a special program 'Freshmen Session', where young people who received their bachelor or master degrees in March of the same year present their theses. Moreover, an invited talk is planned in the workshop in order to encourage their continuous research activities. Last July, Prof. Hideichi Sasaoka of Doshisha University presented the invited paper "Information Security Schemes in Wireless Communication Based on Radio Propagation Characteristics."
  Last September, we organized a joint workshop with Low-Density Parity Check Code Workshop (LDPC Workshop) in Okinawa. We also provided two invited talks there: "Applications of Sparse Matrices to Coding Problems" presented by Dr. Jun Muramatsu, NTT (Fig.3), and "Single-Gaussian Decoding and Density Evolution for Low-Density Lattice Codes" presented by Prof. Brian M. Kurkoski, University of Electro-Communications.
  In autumn, we traditionally hold a special workshop at the venue for Symposium on Information Theory and Its Application (SITA), jointly organized with Society of Information Theory and Its Application (SITA) and IEEE IT Society Japan Chapter. It provides invited talks entitled `Lectures for Young Researchers'.  For example, in the workshop held in Kinugawa-spa in Tochigi Prefecture last October, an invited talk entitled "Capacity Problem of Finite States Channels" was presented by Prof. Kingo Kobayashi of University of Electro-Communications, Chair of ESS (Fig.4), followed by the special session entitled "Sixty years since Shannon published his milestone paper". In the special session, we had the following three invited talks, "Theory of Complex Systems Starting from the Axiomatic Formulation of an Entropy" by Prof. Hiroki Suyari, Chiba University, "Practical Lossless Source Coding which Achieves the Entropy Rate" by Prof. Hiroyoshi Morita, University of Electro-Communications, and  "Gallager Bound of Channel Coding and the Replica Method" by Prof.Yoshiyuki Kabashima, Tokyo Institute of Technology.
  In March this year, a joint workshop with the other relevant technical groups in FIC Sub-Society was held in Hakodate, covering  Information Security and Wideband System. An invited talk entitled "Performance Evaluation of Error Correcting Codes" was presented by Prof. Toru Fujiwara, Osaka University to commemorate his promotion to IEICE Fellow,  .
  We will organize six workshops 2009 FY, that is May, July, September, December (joint with SITA and IEEE IT Society Japan Chapter), January, March (joint with the relevant technical groups). In January 2010, we will hold our regular workshop in Hawaii, all talks should be presented in English there. We also will organize a tutorial session on MIMO-OFDM in IEICE Society Conference at Niigata University in coming September. Your paper submission and attendance in the workshop and tutorial session will be most welcome. Please visit our web site: http://www.ieice.org/~it/

The 2nd International Workshop on
Adaptation in Wireless Sensor Networks (AWSN-09)

http://tweb.ing.unipi.it/awsn09

In Conjunction with
The 7th IEEE/IFIP International Conference on
Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing (EUC 2009)

Vancouver, Canada, August 29-31, 2009
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are networked embedded systems that rely
on wireless communication. WSNs are supposed to run long-lived
applications. During operation, applications are likely to experience
unpredictable environment conditions that require to dynamically
change their behavior. With current reprogramming technology, such an
adaptation is still an open issue, as it can be achieved either at the
expense of significant energy consumption or through software
complexity. The challenge is to achieve WSN systems that not only embed
intelligence into environments, but also have embedded intelligence for
reprogramming themselves after their deployment.

The workshop aims at stimulating researchers and practitioners in
embedded and ubiquitous computing, autonomic computing, ad-hoc
networking and all other relevant areas to present their ideas and work
in progress for advancing the technologies that enable adaptive WSN
applications.

* Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Re-configurable, adaptive applications
* Context-awareness
* Self-healing, self-protection, self-configuration, self-optimization
* Agents and distributed computing
* Embedded Virtual machines
* Viral programming
* Opportunistic computing
* Intelligent power management and coverage
* Adaptive wireless communication and networks
* Security and fault-tolerance
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PAPER SUBMISSION

The program committee encourage original, high-quality submissions from
researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. All papers
