Distributed systems based on networked sensors and actuators with embedded computation capabilities enable an instrumentation of the physical world at an unprecedented scale and density, thus enabling a new generation of monitoring and control applications. This conference provides an ideal venue to address the research challenges facing the design, deployment, use, and fundamental limits of these systems. Sensor networks require contributions from many fields, from wireless communication and networking, embedded systems and hardware, distributed systems, data management, and applications, so we welcome cross-disciplinary work. We particularly encourage papers that extend the scope of the conference beyond wireless mote-class sensor networks and we seek contributions from a broad range of sensing-related fields, such as actuator networks, RFID applications, mobile ad-hoc networks, camera networks, and others. We seek technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research results. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Sensor network architecture and protocols - Sensor network algorithms such as localization, routing, time synchronization, clustering, topology control, and coverage control algorithms - Rich sensor systems leveraging RFID, mobile devices (e.g., cell phones), cameras, robotics, etc. - Failure resilience and fault isolation - Analysis of real-world systems and fundamental limits - Energy management - Sensor network planning, provisioning, calibration and deployment - Data, information, and signal processing - Deployment experience and testbeds - Data storage and management - Experimental methods, including measurement, simulation, and emulation infrastructure - Distributed actuation and control - Programming methodology - Applications - Operating systems - Security and privacy - Integration with back-end systems such as web-based information systems, process control, and enterprise software Program Co-Chairs ************************************************************* Margaret Martonosi, Princeton University Adam Wolisz, TU Berlin Sponsored by ************************************************************* ACM SIGCOMM, SIGMOBILE, SIGARCH, SIGOPS, SIGMETRICS and SIGBED; with support from NSF.

Call For Posters ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This year we will be repeating the very popular poster session aimed at showcasing work in progress. This is an opportunity to present and discuss current work in an informal setting during the SIGCOMM 2008 conference. Topics of interest are the same as research topics in the SIGCOMM conference CFP. Although anyone can submit a poster, preference will be given to posters where the primary contribution is from one or more students. Posters will be reviewed by members of the SIGCOMM Poster Session Committee. At the conference, student posters must be presented by a student. Authors of accepted papers in SIGCOMM 2008 may not submit a poster on the same work in those papers. Why Should You Submit a Poster? ------------------------------- This is a great chance especially for students to obtain interesting and valuable feedback on ongoing research from a knowledgeable crowd at the conference. In addition a small number of submissions will be forwarded for publication to ACM SIGCOMM's newletter, the ACM Computer Communication Review (CCR). Travel Grants for Student Posters --------------------------------- Students who are submitting posters are highly encouraged to examine if they are eligible for student travel grants. What is a Poster? ----------------- We define a poster to be A0 paper size to which you can affix visually appealing material that describes your research. Alternatively you can use the space as a continuum. You can arrange the space and orient the poster either horizontally or vertically. You should prepare the best material (visually appealing and succinct) that effectively communicates your research problem, techniques, results, and what is novel and important about your work. What and Where to Submit ------------------------ You need to submit a two-page abstract (font at least 11pt) describing the work to "sigcomm08-posters at maillists.intel-research.net". The decision will be taken primarily by reading the abstract. Optional: if available, the poster itself can be included in the email if it is small (<1.5M) else it can be made available at a URL in pdf format. The poster may be consulted at the discretion of the reviewers. The abstract should identify the key contribution of the work being presented in the poster. In addition, it should describe the particular problem being addressed, what makes this problem interesting or important, and what your approach is to the problem. We recommend that you use the ACM conference style for preparing your abstract. Include the title, authors, institutional affiliations, status (student, faculty, and so on) of each author and an email address of the contact author. In the final version of the abstract, you should also include a URL that will provide additional information about your work to the attendees. Your abstract should not exceed the page limit; longer submissions will not be considered for review. Your submission will be acknowledged by email within four days after you submit. Please remember that the abstract should be within the page limit and in PDF format. Word documents will not be accepted. At the conference, we will distribute the abstracts to all conference attendees in addition to the conference proceedings. Accepted poster authors will have about a month to revise their abstract prior to printing. For the posters, we will provide poster board and glue for mounting the posters. The SIGCOMM 2008 Poster and Demo Committee will select between 15 and 30 of the most interesting and thought-provoking posters. Posters Important Dates (Tentative) ----------------------------------- * Submission Deadline May 2, 2008 * Acceptance Notification May 30, 2008 2. Call for Demos ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Proposals for research demonstrations and exhibits are strongly solicited. Research demonstrations should be innovative research prototypes that show new research related to the topics included in the SIGCOMM conference CFP. Demos Submission Instructions ----------------------------- Submit a summary of the proposed demo (maximum of 3 pages, including figures if needed) to sigcomm08-demos at maillists.intel-research.net. Your submission will be acknowledged by the SIGCOMM 2008 Poster and Demo chair, Dina Papagiannaki. The summary should include: * Goals of the demo and the basic idea that it supports. * Any related publications or technical reports. * Equipment to be used for the demo. * Space needed. * Setup time required. * Additional facilities needed including power and Internet/wireless access. * Indicate a URL with any extra information, if needed. * Indicate whether the demo is eligible for the student travel grant by identifying the lead student(s) and their affiliations. In addition to student submissions, we also solicit non-student demos and exhibits that will be of interest to the community. All demo proposals will be reviewed by the SIGCOMM 2008 Poster and Demo committee. A number of demos may be invited for publication as extended abstracts at ACM SIGCOMM's newsletter, the ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review (CCR).

(There's a BIG new version being planned for the future (~2011?), but this update recognizes that "things have changed" since 2001, and so an update to CC2001 is needed now). If you've never looked at CC2001, networking is represented in CC2001 NET-CENTRIC COMPUTING. Take a look at the recommendations, http://www.acm.org/education/education/education/curric_vols/cc2001.pdf starting on page 108 (page 112 in pdf document). IMHO it was dated then, and the draft update is similarly dated. I also have the draft revision for net-centric computing. I'd like to spearhead a sigcomm-blessed response to the draft update so that the update eventually reflects a more modern and well-informed (and also principled) view of networking. I'm hoping there is a group of people on this list who are interested in working on this via email discussion (and/or a conference call, if needed). We'd need to do this fairly quickly (within the next month. It doesn't need to be a big thing, but I'd like to see us officially respond to the rather weak recommendations that were made in 2001 wrt networking curriculum. If you're interested, send me an email and I'll put together a mailing list of interested people (if you want to just "lurk", that's OK). I'm assuming that we'd take the discussion off of this mailing list, and then post our proposed response and recommendation back to this list. Hope to hear from you.
