Call for Papers
3rd
IEEE International Workshop on SmArt COmmunications in NEtwork Technologies
(SaCoNeT-III)

to
be held in conjunction with IEEE ICC 2012 Conference that will be held in Ottawa, Canada, June 11, 2012.

As
continuity of the first and the second edition of SaCoNeT workshop, the scope
of SaCoNeT-III is to deal with the growing overlap between both autonomous
systems and the future generation of network technologies embedded in Internet
and cloud computing for a wide variety of applications (underwater, vehicular,
medical, robotic, etc.). SaCoNet focused on how smart communications has affect
some aspects (protocols, design, equipment, algorithms, paradigm, power, etc.)
for a large family of applications (Healthcare, Medical, Underwater, Vehicular,
Robotic, etc.) using network technologies (Sensor Networks, MaNet, VANET,
etc.). Indeed, autonomous applications embedded in complex configurations and
dynamic environments have rapidly expanded from classical applications where
different modular devices, actuators and sensors interact closely. This has
impacted considerably the control of a given system in a centralized manner.
Current trends are to propose new autonomic architecture schemes that manage
and control future emerging networks: sky of clouds, Internet of things, etc.
Healthcare and wellness applications such as helping elderly people, assisting
dependent persons, habitat monitoring in a smart environment constitute some of
the potential scenarios of convergence between autonomous systems and smart
network technologies. These applications, (which are based on high-level
commands) accomplish some specific tasks, reveal new challenges regarding
mechanic design, portability, acceptability, power support and efficiency,
control theory, etc. In addition to portability and low-power systems, which
are vital challenges that limit substantially the efficiency of any autonomous
system based application; network paradigms should also take into account
issues related to cost, scalability and security. This workshop will highlight
the overlapping of these two domains of autonomous systems and the smart
network technologies devoted for different applications for a large variety of
domains: Healthcare, Medical, Underwater, Vehicular, Robotic, etc. Issues
related to concepts, new technologies, testbeds and trials, and protocols will
elicit particular attention.

Submission
All
submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed and we will select papers based on
their originality, timeliness, significance, and relevance to the workshop. All
accepted papers must be presented and at least on author needs to register for
the paper to be included in the workshop proceedings. Submitted papers should
not be under consideration for publication anywhere else.
?
The
workshop accepts only novel, previously unpublished papers. Prospective authors
are encouraged to submit a 5-page standard IEEE conference style paper to this
workshop (including all text, figures, and references) :

One
additional page may be allowed but with additional publication fee. Accepted
papers must be presented at the workshop. The presenter must register for the
workshop before the deadline for author registration. Failure to register before
the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from the workshop
proceedings and the program.
