***********************************************************************
CALL FOR POSTERS and DEMOS
*Deadline: July 16, 2006, 5 pm EDT*
IEEE SECON 2006
The Third IEEE International Conference on
Sensors, Mesh and Ad Hoc Communications and Networks
http://www.ieee-secon.org/2006/
Sponsored by IEEE Communications Society (www.comsoc.org)
Technically Co-Sponsored by AFCEA (www.afcea.org)
September 25-28, 2006
Reston, Virginia, USA (Near Washington DC's Dulles airport)
************************************************************************
To provide a forum for discussion and personal interaction between
presenter and participants, IEEE SECON 2006 will include poster and
demonstration sessions: works in progress, industry demonstrations of
new applications and techniques, practical implementations, military,
industrial and commercial developments, research testbeds and
demonstrations, recent research/implementation results, upcoming
research challenges, future directions, and novel approaches in the
fields of sensor, mesh and ad hoc communications and networks. One of
the key goals of this conference is to foster collaboration between
industry, government agencies and academia. Hence, participation of
researchers/developers from industry or governement agencies and
posters/demonstrations reporting joint work are especially encouraged.
Topics considered for posters and demo are, but not limited
to:
* New architectures and protocols to support
communication, localization, time synchronization,
routing, data dissemination, and other distributed
services in heterogeneous, large-scale distributed,
mesh networks and sensor networks
* Novel algorithms and theories for management,
supervisory control, and monitoring of distributed ad
hoc networks, and techniques for the interpretation
and use of sensor data in decision-making processes
* Modeling and performance evaluation of large-scale
distributed ad hoc and sensor networks, practical
implementations and deployments, and real-world
experiences
* Theories and models on fundamental information and
communication aspects of wireless mesh and sensor
networks
* Mechanisms for authenticated, secure communication and
data dissemination in sensor and mesh networks
* Algorithms and protocols to support quality of service
in mesh and sensor networks, including admission
control, resource allocation and fairness, and
capacity planning
* Integration of sensors into engineered systems,
including novel techniques for on-sensor renewable
power sources, mechanisms for on-sensor
self-calibration and self-testing, and efficient
schemes to maximize accuracy and minimize false alarms
* Hardware platforms incorporating multiple sensors,
computation, actuation, and wireless interfaces
* Software platforms, middleware, and tools for mesh and
sensor network applications development, deployment,
and management
Submissions should be in the form of a proposal describing the main
contributions of the poster/demo and the merits of the proposed
ideas. If available, preliminary results can also be
included. Proposals will be evaluated mainly based on their potential
to stimulate interesting discussions, exchange of ideas and promote
collaborations.
A prize will be awarded to the best demo by a jury composed of
academic and/or venture capital participants.
Submissions should not be more than three pages (preferably IEEE
conference format, 2-column) in length. Demonstration submissions
should include the space requirements and/or any other
equipment-specific requirements. The documents must contain the
authors' names, affiliations, and contact information and the
designated corresponding author.
Accepted authors of posters/demos will have a space in the poster/demo
session room to display their posters or exhibit their demos and
describe their work in discussions with interested attendees.
IEEE Communications Society policy states that all accepted SECON 2006
posters/demos must have at least one registration at the regular
rate. For authors co-authoring multiple posters/demos, one regular
registration is valid for up to three presentations.
Submission will be accepted until Friday, July 16th, 5 pm EDT for
demos and for posters. Please send the submission material to the
poster/demo chairs in pdf format, and make sure to include the first
author name and either POSTER or DEMO in the name of the pdf file:
Stefano Basagni Cedric Westphal

basagni@ece.neu.edu cedric.westphal@nokia.com
Notification of Poster/Demo decisions: August 7, 2006. Accepted
Poster/Demo Presenters MUST register by August 31, 2006.
