                           CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE International Conference on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous, and
Trustworthy Computing (SUTC2008)


June 11-13, 2008, Taichung, Taiwan

Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society

Conference http://SUTC2008.csie.ncu.edu.tw


The rapid research and technological advances in wireless communications
and increasing availability of sensors, actuators, and mobile devices
have created an exciting new ubiquitous computing paradigm that
facilitates computing and communication services all the time, everywhere.
This emerging paradigm is changing the way we live and work today.
Via a ubiquitous infrastructure consisting of a variety of global and
localized networks, users, sensors, devices, systems and applications
may seamlessly interact with each other and even the physical world in
unprecedented ways. To realize this continually evolving ubiquitous
computing paradigm, trustworthy computing that delivers secure, private,
and reliable computing and communication services plays an essential
role.


The IEEE International Conference on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous, and
Trustworthy Computing (SUTC2008) is an international forum for researchers
to exchange information regarding advancements in the state
of the art and practice of sensor networks, ubiquitous and trustworthy
computing, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and define
the future of sensor networks, ubiquitous and trustworthy computing.
The technical program of SUTC2008 will consist of invited talks, paper
presentations, and panel discussions. A number of best papers presented
in the conference will be selected for possible publication in a
special issue of journals.


Topics of Interest

Submissions of high quality papers describing mature results or on-going
work are invited. Topics for submission include, but are not limited to the
following aspects of sensor networks, ubiquitous, and trustworthy computing:


*       Applications (novel use cases, deployment experience)
*       Algorithms and Protocols (topology, coverage, routing,
        distributed coordination)
*       Data Management and Processing (gathering, storage, fusion,
        dissemination)
*       Deployment, Testing, and Debugging
*       Design and Programming Methodologies
*       Energy management
*       Embedded processors, sensors, and actuators
*       Management aspects (configuration, adaptation, healing)
*       Mobility, Location, and Context
*       Modeling and Performance Evaluation (simulation, complexity
        analysis, user studies)
*       Networking Technologies (ad hoc networks, personal area
        networks)
*       Operating Systems and Middleware
*       Privacy
*       Protocol Design, Modeling, and Implementation Experiences
*       QoS aspects
*       Reliability
*       Security (authentication, access control, intrusion detection
        and tolerance)
*       Social Issues
*       System and Network Architectures
*       Trust (establishment, negotiation, management)
*       User Interface Technologies
