#### Scope: ##########
During the last 20 years the development of wireless networks has been
driven mainly by the demand for more bandwidth. This demand has been
necessitated by the human desire for information and communication.
Hence, wireless networks have been designed to serve mainly Internet
best-effort traffic as well as delay-sensitive voice and video
applications. Besides this, we have also witnessed research into new
network paradigms like Mobile Ad hoc Networks and Wireless Mesh Networks
which serve the same types of traffic in general.
Recently, the vision of an Internet of Things has become more and more a
reality. Wireless sensor networks and Machine-to-Machine networking
connect resource-constrained and likely battery-powered devices such as
sensors and actuators with each other and with control units. For
example, recent years have witnessed the adoption of wireless
sensor-actuator networks as a communication infrastructure for
industrial applications such as process monitoring and control. Open
industrial standards such as WirelessHART and IEEE 802.15.4e have shown
promise through commercial products and system deployments in real-world
industrial environments.However, industrial applications impose new
challenges to wireless network design such as stringent requirements on
reliability, real-time performance, latency of the communication,
security, and networked control, even more stringent than
time-critical best-effort applications like voice over IP. Despite the
already high requirements, the desire is growing to use wireless
communication in even more demanding industrial applications such as
factory automation and motion control.
This workshop will provide an open forum for academic and industrial
researchers to exchange ideas and experiences in this important area.
The focus is on 'soft' real time requirements as well as on 'hard'
real-time requirements potentially with very low latencies. The workshop
cross-cuts the diverse areas associated with CPS Week including
real-time systems (RTAS), wireless sensor networks (IPSN), control
(HSCC), and the integration of them in cyber-physical systems (ICCPS).
We are also soliciting contributions form industrial partners
highlighting case studies, measurements, experiences from applications etc.
In particular, the following topics are of interest (not limiting other
contributions in the considered direction):
* Physical layer design
* Medium access control and interference management
* Real-time scheduling algorithms and analysis
* Routing and transport for guaranteed delay networking
* Theoretical bounds, performance models and evaluation
* Prototypes/ testbeds and implementation aspects of real-time operation
* Application scenarios and requirements
* Challenges, vision and architecture for real-time wireless networks
* Software stacks for hard real-time wireless networking
* Fault-tolerance and redundancy issues
* Control over wireless sensor-actuator networks
* Control and wireless network co-design for cyber-physical systems
* Case studies, measurements and experiences from industrial deployments
#### Dates: ##########
NEW paper submission deadline: January 23rd, 2012
Notification: February 13th, 2012
Camera-Ready Version: February 29th, 2012
#### Submissions and Review Process: ##########
We solicit novel, unpublished papers on all technical areas as described
above.
Each submitted paper has a strict page length of eight, double-column,
single-spaced pages following the IEEE conference style. Papers should
be submitted as PDF via EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=realwin2012
Papers will be reviewed based on novelty, quality and scope. The review
process contains three reviews per paper plus some internal TPC
discussion. Final decisions will be announced afterwards via email.
Accepted are likely to be available in IEEExplore (subject to ongoing
negotiations currently).
