CALL FOR PAPERS

*2^nd MONAMI SmaRT Workshop*

Workshop on Smart objects Resource managemenT

*26 September 2012*

Hamburg University of Technology, Germany

In the context of Future Networks, the term "smart objects" is used to 
refer to everyday objects of all kinds that are enhanced with 
computational intelligence and the capability to communicate with each 
other and with online services. They are essential elements of 
cyber-physical systems enabling multifaceted applications in fields such 
as logistics, smart buildings, intelligent transport, and smart city 
applications.

The MONAMI SmaRT Workshop is complementary to the main conference. The 
workshop will look into the opportunities that smart objects create for 
infrastructure and infrastructure-less networks and how new services can 
be deployed and managed. Smart objects incorporate monitoring and 
control functions and need to communicate with each other and with 
gateways. In many cases, communication is based on wireless sensor 
networks integrated with an object, such as parts of a building, 
logistic goods, vehicles or environmental sensors and actuators. In 
other cases, communication is based on a hybrid approach where part of 
the network is infrastructure-based and the rest is self-organized.

Managing such smart objects requires algorithms and approaches based, in 
part, on general concepts discussed in MONAMI. However, the workshop 
will go one step further and consider, in particular:
- Energy-efficient, self-organized access and routing schemes for smart 
object systems
- Testbeds and experimental evaluation of services based on smart objects
- Service and application management platforms for a variety of 
applications, e.g. smart cities
- Autonomic network monitoring and management for smart object networks
- Future Internet Architectures with smart objects

Accepted papers of exceptional merit will be considered for inclusion in 
the ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Special Issue 
on Smart Object Applications and Management.

*Paper Submission*
We encourage submissions of high-quality technical papers reporting 
original research that has not been previously published, and is not 
currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Full Papers should not 
exceed *10 pages* in the Springer Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST) format. 
Full paper submission details are available at 
http://mon-ami.org/cfp_smart.shtml

All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three MONAMI TPC 
members, including a Workshop Chair, to ensure high quality and 
relevance to the topics of the workshop. All accepted papers will be 
published in the Springer LNICST series and then be included in major 
article indexing services.

*Important Dates*
Paper Submission Deadline: 15 July 2012 (firm deadline; no extensions 
will be given)
Notification of Acceptance:15 August 2012
Camera Ready Deadline:21 August 2012
Workshop Date:26 September 2012
