日本データベース学会の皆様、 阪大の原です。 以下の通り、「情報爆発時代の無線センサネットワーク技術」特集 号を、Springerが出版するBookシリーズ（Studies in Computational Intelligence）として企画しております。 是非、章のご提案をご検討ください。 提案締切は4月20日となっております。 原 隆浩 ---------------------------------------------------------- Wireless Sensor Network Technologies for Information Explosion Era http://www-nishio.ist.osaka-u.ac.jp/conf/wsentie/ A volume in the book series "Studies in Computational Intelligence" Springer-Verlag http://www.springer.com/series/7092 Editors: Takahiro Hara (Osaka University, Japan) Vladimir I. Zadorozhny (University of Pittsburgh, USA) Erik Buchmann (Universitat Karlsruhe, Germany) Call for Book Chapters: The amount and value of information available due to rapid spread of computers and information technology is exploding. Typical large enterprises have approximately a petabyte of operational data stored in hundreds of data repositories supporting thousands of applications. Data storage volumes grow in excess of 50% annually. This growth is expected to continue due to vast proliferation of Web based systems and the introduction of new sources of data. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) represent one of the most notable examples of such new data sources. In recent few years, various types of WSNs have been deployed and the amount of information generated by wireless sensors increases rapidly. The information explosion requires establishing novel data processing and communication techniques for WSNs. This volume aims to cover both theoretical and practical aspects of related to this challenge, as well as to explore directions for future research enabling efficient utilization of WSNs in the information-explosion era. Topic Coverage (but not limited to) within Ad hoc and Sensor Network Architecture: - Data processing in WSNs - Data aggregation in WSNs - Query processing and routing in WSNs - Applications of data intensive sensor networks - Routing protocol in WSNs - Efficient deployment of large-scale WSNs - Managing intensive data streams over sensor networks - Handling inaccuracy, unreliability and data loss - Energy and time efficient data delivery - Mobile sensor networks - Cross layer approach in WSNs - Application-driven sensor data interrogation - Semantic descriptions of sensors and sensor data - Sharing, annotation, and (distributed) management of sensor data - Data mining and warehousing in WSNs Submission Procedure for Authors: Prospective authors are invited to submit their chapter proposals on or before April 30, 2009. A proposal should be 2-4 page manuscript (extended abstract) clearly describing the objectives, scope of contents, and organization of the proposed chapter. Send soft copies by email to hara@ist.osaka-u.ac.jp. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by May 30, 2009, and will be provided with guidelines for writing their full chapters (7,000 - 10,000 words). The submission due of full chapters will be June 30, 2009. All submitted chapters will be reviewed by the editors of this volume. The volume is schedule to be published by Springger-Verlag in 2009/2010. Important Dates: - Chapter proposal (Extended abstract): April 30, 2009 - Notification of acceptance/rejection/revision: May 30, 2009 - Submission of (revised) full chapter: June 30, 2009 - Final version submission: July 15, 2009 - Publication: 2009/2010 ----------------------------------------------------------
