International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks (IJDSN)

Special Issue "Wireless Sensor Networks for Measuring the Impact of Human Activities over Different Environments"

http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijdsn/si/567042/cfp/

Deadline for manuscript submissions: January 29, 2016

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


=== SPECIAL ISSUE - CALL FOR PAPERS ===

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are nowadays used in a wide variety of applications, such as military surveillance, scientific exploration, structural monitoring, and environmental monitoring applications, among others. These sorts of networks are complex systems whose correct operation mainly depends on the integration of physical sensors, computation processes, and communication between devices. Advances in smart device and sensor networks will drive innovation in important sectors such as energy efficiency, city/building design, healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and manufacturing.

Moreover, human actions motivated by achieving various purposes cause side effects on our environment. While the intended effects are usually positive, at least for those who promote action, side effects can be positive but very often are negative. Some most basic actions of how we do our day-to-day routines are the following: the way people move around the city, how people get rid of your waste, excessive cultivation or exploitation of natural resources, misuse of electrical appliances, or celebrating holidays with music and pyrotechnics, among others, which can have a significant impact on our environment, whether natural, social environments, or on our heritage.

For these reasons and taking into account the advantages that WSNs offer, this special issue aims to focus on new proposals and developments of WSNs for monitoring and evaluating the impact of human activity on the environments that surround us. Authors are invited to submit their original and unpublished research contributions to this special issue in relevant areas of WSNs, proposing new design concepts, architectures, and applications versus resource constraints and energy conservation.


Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

- WSN issues and technologies for monitoring the effects of human behaviors on the environment
- Design of energy-efficient WSNs, hardware, software, and systems for monitoring sensitive environments
- Real-world case studies of WSNs where the effects of human behaviors are analyzed
- WSNs data management
- Prototyping of experimental WSNs and its test bench
- Evaluation of WSNs in sensitive scenarios
- WSNs for emergency response in natural/man-made disasters
- New proposals of WSNs architectures
- Efficient communication for WSNs architectures
- WSN for sustainable human behaviors
- Sustainable WSN for environmental sustainability

Call for Papers for the 2nd International Workshop


GRAPHS AS MODELS (GaM 2016)

http://gam2016.swt-bamberg.de


a Satellite Event of ETAPS 2016, Eindhoven -- 02-03 April 2016
=======================================================================


=== Important Dates ===

- Deadline for submission: 22nd January 2016
- Notification: 26th February 2016
- Final manuscript: mid/end March 2016
- Workshop: 2nd + 3rd April 2016


=== Description ===

Graphs are used as models in all areas of computer science: examples are
state space graphs, control flow graphs, syntax graphs, UML-type models
of all kinds, network layouts, social networks, dependency graphs, and
so forth. Once such graphical models are constructed, they can be
analysed and transformed to verify their correctness within a domain,
discover new properties, or produce new equivalent and/or optimised
versions.

Graphs as Models combines the strengths of two pre-existing workshop
series: GT-VMT (Graph Transformation and Visual Modelling Techniques)
and GRAPHITE (Graph Inspection and Traversal Engineering), but also
solicits research from other related areas, such as Social Network
Analysis.

Graphs as Models' main focus is the exchange and collaboration of
researchers from different backgrounds. The workshop serves as platform
to boost inter- and transdisciplinary research and foster new ideas and
collaborations. Thus, besides classical research presentations, the
workshop is highly geared toward numerous interactive sessions.

=== Topics ===

This workshop seeks to attract and stimulate research on the techniques
for graph analysis, inspection and transformation, on an abstract level
rather than in any specific domain. Thus, the concept of a graph (in its
many guises) is central. Contributions should address scenarios for the
use of graphs in a modelling context that potentially transcend specific
settings and can be applied across domains. We welcome contributions on
any of the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics:

* The use of graph-based and graph-transformation-based models within
various general approaches such as:
- visual modelling languages (including aspects of meta modelling,
grammars, and graphical parsing),
- model-to-model and model-to-X transformations,
- stochastic processes on graphs, and
- compositional models (e.g. graphs-with-boundary, nominal graphs,
string diagrams),
and applications to concrete domains, including (but not restricted
to):
- software development (e.g., synthesis, planning, bug mitigation,
repair & model driven development),
- software analysis (e.g., verification, testing, static analysis,
and simulation),
- concurrency,
- constraint based reasoning, and
- social network analysis;

* Algorithms on graphs (with focus on scalability and efficiency),
for example
- graph search optimization (including search space reduction
techniques),
- analysis of large graphs and graph transformation systems,
- graph matching, isomorphism checking, etc.,
- graph properties that support efficient algorithms regarding
quality properties (like real-time, safety, reliability, and
energy consumption),
- approaches exploiting concurrency/parallelism and dedicated
hardware, and
- simulation of models.

* The visualization of large graphs
(including the simulation of transformation systems).

* New ways of applying graphs and graph transformation based
techniques.

* Case studies and tools.

=== Workshop Format ===

This is a one-day-and-a-half day workshop programmed as a mixture of:

* Submitted paper presentations and

* Fully interactive sessions.


=== Submissions ===

The workshop seeks submissions of three kinds:

1.) Full papers: We solicit papers of up to 15 pages, in the EPTCS
LaTeX format, containing original results. Accepted papers will
be published in EPTCS (Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical
Computer Science).

2.) Work-in-progress papers: We solicit papers of up to 15 pages, in
the EPTCS LaTeX format, describing ongoing research. Accepted papers
will be presented at the workshop and might be selected for publication
in EPTCS.

3.) Presentation abstracts: We solicit an abstract of 1-2 pages, in
the EPTCS LaTeX format, describing ongoing research. Accepted
abstracts will lead to a presentation at the workshop and will be
included in the workshop's webpages.

4.) Informal tool demo proposals: Tool demos limited to 10 minutes.
Proposals will not be reviewed, unless selection turns out to be needed.

All submissions have to adhere to the EPTCS format available at

http://style.eptcs.org/

All contributions have to be submitted through EasyChair at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gam2016

Details can be found on the workshop's webpage.

========================================================================

SWAT 2016 - Call for Papers

15th Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm Theory
June 22-24, 2016, Reykjavik, Iceland

========================================================================
Submission deadline: Feb 14, 2016
http://swat16.ru.is/
========================================================================

SCOPE

The symposium, which alternates with the Algorithms and Data Structures
Symposium (WADS), is a forum for researchers in the area of design and
analysis of algorithms and data structures. We invite submissions of
papers presenting original research on algorithms and data structures.
Though we welcome experiments, the theoretical results in the articles
will be the main measure for evaluating their merits. Algorithmic
approaches of interest include, but are not limited to: approximation
algorithms, parametrized algorithms, distributed algorithms, parallel
algorithms, external-memory algorithms, data structures, exponential
time algorithms, online algorithms, randomized algorithms, streaming
algorithms, sub-linear algorithms. The algorithmic problems considered
may be motivated by applications, e.g. in optimization, geometry and
topology, graph analysis, bioinformatics, visualization, string
processing, information retrieval, machine learning, algorithmic game
theory, or mechanism design.


SUBMISSIONS

Contributors must submit their papers using the Easychair system.
Submissions should be in LIPIcs format (without font size, margin, or
line spacing changes), and not exceed 12 pages including front page and
references. See
www.dagstuhl.de/publikationen/lipics/anleitung-fuer-autoren/
for instructions. Additionally, if full details of proofs do not fit
into the page limit, a clearly marked appendix containing the remaining
details must be included; this appendix will not be regarded as part of
the submission and will be considered only at the discretion of the
program committee. Submissions deviating substantially from this format
risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

Papers submitted for review should represent original, previously
unpublished work. At the time the paper is submitted to the symposium,
and for the entire review period, the paper (or essentially the same
paper) must not be under review by any other conference with published
proceedings or by a scientific journal. However, we encourage authors to
make a preprint of their paper available at a public repository such as
arXiv. At least one author of every accepted paper is expected to register
and present the paper at the symposium. Symposium proceedings will be
published in the "Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics"
(LIPIcs) series.
