| Synopsis: |
| Recently, wireless mesh networking is attracting significant interest from academia, industry, and standard organizations. With several favorable characteristics, such as dynamic self-organization, self-configuration, self-healing, easy maintenance, high scalability and reliable services, wireless mesh networks have been advocated as a cost-effective approach to support high-speed last mile connectivity and ubiquitous broadband access in the context of home networking, enterprise networking, or community networking. WiMAN 2008 invites submissions addressing theoretical and experimental work at all layers of wireless mesh and ad-hoc networks, from application layer to the physical layer. |

NEW THIS MONTH! | DAMAP |
| Title: | Workshop on Data Management in P2P2 systems |
| Submission Deadline: | 2007-12-17 |
| Webpage: | http://damap08.lip6.fr |
| Dates: | 03/25/2008 |
| Location: | Nantes, France (colocated with EDBT'08) |
| Contact Email: | damap08@poleia.lip6.fr |
| Synopsis: |
| The aim of the workshop is to investigate the promise of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems for advanced data management applications. The benefits of a P2P architecture is scalability based on autonomic peers which may at any moment join/leave the network, publish resources (data and services) for sharing, use resources published by other peers and eventually take part in a collaborative work process. The objective of this one-day workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the challenges and propose novel solutions in the design and implementation of advanced data management in P2P environments. |

IEEE Micro Special Issue CFP | |
| Title: | Interaction of Computer Architecture and Operating Systems in the Many-core Era (IEEE Micro May/June 2008) |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-01-05 |
| Webpage: | http://research.microsoft.com/~onur/cfp_micro_may08.pdf |
| Dates: | May 2008 |
| Location: | IEEE Micro |
| Contact Email: | onur@microsoft.com |
| Synopsis: |
| As the Operating System (OS) or system software in general is the centerpiece of a computer system managing various platform hardware resources, the breathtaking evolution of the many-core processor architecture will require a fundamental reexamination of mainstream OS/system-software design decisions. The purpose of this special issue of the IEEE Micro magazine is to bring readers the latest advances in the interface of the fields of operating systems and computer architecture, with a focus on how the important system software affects the architecture design and vice versa, in order to achieve increasingly involved platform and system design goals. |
DCoSS | |
| Title: | International Conference on Distributed Computing on Sensor Systems |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-01-28 |
| Webpage: | http://www.dcoss.org |
| Dates: | June, 11-14, 2008 |
| Location: | Santorini Island, Greece |
| Contact Email: | pinotti@unipg.it |
| Synopsis: |
| Distributed sensor systems have become a highly active research area due to their potential for providing diverse new capabilities. Such systems allow intelligent dense monitoring of physical environments, which makes them immensely useful for data collection and analysis. The focus of the conference is on distributed computing issues in large-scale networked sensor systems (including algorithms, applications, and systematic design techniques and tools), but networking-related contributions that support high level abstractions are also welcome. Best paper awards will be given in each of the three conference technical tracks: algorithms, applications, and systems. DCOSS '08 Proceedings will appear through the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) Series of Springer Verlag. |

| Synopsis: |
| The Fifth Workshop on Embedded Networked Sensors brings together wireless sensor network (WSN) researchers from academic and industrial backgrounds to present groundbreaking results that will shed light on present and future research challenges. The workshop emphasizes results from experiments or deployments that quantify the challenges in the WSN systems of today and early results from new ideas that introduce promising approaches that will define the challenges in the WSN systems of tomorrow. We especially welcome papers reporting on results that refute common assumptions, deployment experiences, novel and original approaches, and, more generally, papers that will help inform and guide research. |
NEW THIS MONTH! | ACM SenSys 2008 |
| Title: | The 6th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems |
| Abstract Deadline: | 2008-04-07 |
| Submission Deadline: | 2008-04-14 |
| Webpage: | http://sensys.acm.org/2008/ |
| Dates: | Nov, 5-7, 2008 |

| Contact Email: | thiemo@sics.se |
| Synopsis: |
| The ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (SenSys) is a highly selective, single-track forum for research results on systems issues in the area of embedded, networked sensors. Distributed systems based on networked sensors and actuators enable an instrumentation of the physical world at an unprecedented scale and density, enabling new generations of monitoring and control applications. SenSys provides an ideal venue to address the challenges facing the design, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these systems. Sensor networks require contributions from many fields including hardware, networking, embedded systems, distributed systems, data management, and applications, so we welcome cross-disciplinary work. |
