Subject: [DMANET] 1st Greifswald Phylogenetics Meeting
Message-ID: <554A4378-3443-4128-A626-42F13F9A013E@mareikefischer.de>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

I herewith want to announce the 1st Greifswald Phylogenetics Meeting, which will be held in Greifswald (north eastern Germany) from the 14th till the 16th of July 2014.

This meeting will have a particular focus on mathematical (e.g. graph theoretical, combinatorial, probabilistic and algebraic) aspects of evolutionary tree or network reconstruction, but it will also bring together scientists from different disciplines in order to provide the opportunity of close collaboration.

Registration is now open! For more details, please visit the conference website: http://stubber.math-inf.uni-greifswald.de/~spillner/gpm-2014/gpm-2014.html

Scope:
Phylogenetics is an interdisciplinary research area that aims at reconstructing the evolutionary history of biological systems such as, for example, collections of species, populations or groups of bio-molecules. To achieve this, biologists work closely together with mathematicians and computer scientists. The conference will provide researchers from all three involved disciplines an opportunity to present their recent work and exchange ideas.

Location:
Greifswald is a beautiful little town located directly at the Baltic Sea in close proximity to the famous islands R?gen and Usedom. Greifswald university was founded in 1496 and has therefore a long tradition and history. Being a former Hanse town, Greifswald is famous for its historic market square, its cathedral and the museum harbor. Other famous towns like Stralsund with the Oceaneum or the world cultural heritage city of Wismar are nearby, as well as the city of Rostock with its newly established Darwineum. The region is a holiday region but not too crowded by tourists. In July the weather is most likely to be great and we hope that if you can come to our meeting, you will find the time to stay longer and enjoy this unique area.

Please note that the meeting starts early on the 14th with one of our highlight talks and ends in the evening of the 16th with another highlight talk - so if possible, please plan your stay from the 13th till the 17th of July.

The registration fee is 150 Euros (100 Euros for students).

Organizers: Mareike Fischer, Andreas Spillner, Martin Haase

Invited speakers: Olaf Bininda-Emonds, Mike Steel, Olivier Gascuel, Vince Moulton, Allen Rodrigo

*********************** CFP *******************************

2nd Smart Sensor Protocols and Algorithms (SSPA2014)
http://jlloret.webs.upv.es/sspa2014/

in conjunction with The thirteenth International Conference on Ad-Hoc Networks and Wireless (AdHoc Now-2014)
Benidorm, Spain, June 22-27, 2014.
http://www.adhocnow.net/

SCOPE:

Smart Sensor protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and techniques (such as machine learning techniques, decision making techniques, knowledge representation, network optimization, problem solution techniques, and so on), to establish communication between network devices. They can be used to perceive the network conditions, or the user behavior, in order to dynamically plan, adapt, decide, take the appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences of their actions. The algorithms can make use of the information gathered from the protocol in order to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, take consciousness of what is happening in the environment, and take the appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals such as decide which scenario fits best its end-to-end purpose, or environment prediction, can be achieved with smart protocols and algorithms. Moreover, they could learn from the past and use this knowledge to improve future de!
cisions.

In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on the design, development, analysis or optimization of smart sensor protocols or algorithms at any communication layer. Algorithms and protocols based on artificial intelligence techniques for network management, network monitoring, quality of service enhancement, performance optimization and network secure are included in the workshop.

This conference edition once again targets to gather researchers from academia and industrial sectors to present analytical research, simulations, practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, and advances in sensor protocols and algorithms. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, deployments, implementations, running experiments and applications.

TOPICS OF INTEREST:

Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, including, but are not limited to, the following topic areas:

- Reasoning and learning techniques for sensing environment pollution
- Smart route prediction in vehicular sensor networks
- Smart data aggregation in vehicular sensor networks

NINTH IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON PRACTICAL ISSUES
IN BUILDING SENSOR NETWORK APPLICATIONS
(in conjunction with IEEE LCN 2014)

Chateau Lacombe Hotel
Edmonton, Canada

8-11 September 2014

http://www.senseapp.org


CALL FOR PAPERS

The Internet of Things is happening! Wireless sensors and actuators are increasingly networked and continually narrow the gap between the physical world and cyberspace. Domain-specific sensing deployments in industrial or home automation scenarios are becoming more and more common, particularly with the advent of novel sensing platforms such as smartphones, which allow for interfacing with or extending dedicated sensor networks. Nevertheless, insights gathered from real-world sensor network deployments are still scarce and many practical issues in building sensor network applications persist. A thorough understanding from a practical/systems perspective is still necessary, including the hardware platforms of sensor and actor nodes, their operating systems, the networking of nodes and fresh perspectives from field trials and applications.

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both academia and industry to showcase their work and obtain feedback. It serves as a forum for the sensor network research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of wireless sensor networks in general. We encourage contributions describing innovative work in the realm of wireless sensor networks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Experiences from real-world sensor network deployment and applications
- Innovative sensor network applications
- Mobile and participatory sensing applications and deployments
- Integrating sensor networks and the internet of things
- Middleware support for sensor networks
- Programming and debugging sensor networks
- Security, availability and dependability issues in sensor networks
- Experiences with new sensor hardware
- Practical problems in implementing localization and time synchronization
- Experiences with communication protocols
- Practical medium access control protocols (MACs)
- Topology control and routing protocols in existing sensor network deployments
- Fault-tolerance and troubleshooting sensor networks
- Antenna design and experiences with signal propagation
- Experiences regarding energy management and network lifetime
- Configuration and installation support
- Management of large-scale sensor networks and sensing campaigns
- Interconnection between IP and sensor networks
- Interfacing with sensor networks using mobile computing devices
- Large-scale open sensor data sets from real deployments

Submitted papers will be reviewed by three independent experts in the field. Proceedings of the workshop will be published together with those of IEEE LCN, and will be available in digital format from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

Authors are invited to submit original unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference, workshop or journal. Full papers should be restricted to 8 camera-ready pages (in 10 pt font, double column, US letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches, IEEE format), including text, figures and references. Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e. Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, Helvetica or equivalent. Papers must be submitted electronically via EDAS at:
