日本データベース学会会員の皆様、 阪大の原です。 以下のような国際ジャーナルの特集号の論文募集をご案内いたします。 和名では「情報爆発時代におけるアドホック、センサネットワーク上のデータ 管理」となります。 投稿締切は5月30日となっております。 ご投稿をご検討いただけましたら幸いです。 原　隆浩 --------------------------- Call for Papers --------------------------- Special Issue of on Data Management in Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks for the Information-explosion Era International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems (IJCNDS) Guest Co-editors: Sanjay Madria, Missouri University of Science and Technology, USA Takahiro Hara, Osaka University, Japan Call for Papers: Recently ad hoc networks and sensor networks have been designed, developed and applied in many applications such health and cyber infrastructure monitoring, defense against chemical and biological leaks, forest fire etc. Some of these applications generate large amount of data thus, we are in a time referred as "information explosion era". In the information explosion era, managing data in an environment with limitation on energy consumption, bandwidth, connectivity and frequent disconnections, poses many challenging issues. This special issue is to address some of these challenges. Topic Coverage (but not limited to) within Ad hoc and Sensor Network Architecture: - Replication and Caching - In-network Data Aggregation - Data Security - Content Management - Context Aware Computing - Mobile Agents - Query Routing and Processing - Energy-Efficient Data Processing - Predicting Events and Data - Inconsistency and Reliability - Data Streaming - Middleware and Cross layered Architecture - Economic Models for Routing and Computing - Data Indexing - Applications in Health Care and Cyber infrastructure Note for Authors: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by at least three reviewers through a peer review process. The papers which are published in conferences/workshops should have at least 30% extension.
