The First International Workshop on Networks of Cooperating Objects
CONET 2010
April 12th, 2010 - Stockholm, Sweden
Co-located with the CPS Week 2010
==========================================================================
During the last decade, the continuous improvement and miniaturization
of integrated circuits has led to new types of computing systems.
An emerging trend is the collaboration of miniature devices to
achieve a common goal. Representative examples include wireless
sensor networks, pervasive computing and embedded systems.
Along this trend, the notion of Cooperating Objects collectively
refers to embedded computing devices equipped with communication
as well as sensing or actuation capabilities, able to cooperate
and organize themselves autonomously into networks to achieve a
common task. As such, Cooperating Objects envision a single,
coherent system formed by a wide range of devices, including those
from the areas mentioned above. The complexity germane to the
interaction inside and across networks of Cooperating Objects
presents a rich set of research questions, and entails a wide
range of scientific disciplines, such as networking, software
engineering, and control theory.
CONET 2010 will provide a discussion forum for researchers,
aimed at fostering synergy and convergence of complementary
areas towards the vision of networks of Cooperating Objects.
Work-in-progress systems, provocative ideas, and position papers
paving the road towards such synergy and convergence are
particularly welcome.
Authors are invited to submit papers for presentation at the workshop.
The topics of interest include theoretical and empirical work in, but not limited to:
- Resource management of Cooperating Objects
- Quality-of-Service in networks of Cooperating Objects
- Hardware platforms for Cooperating Objects
- Mobile and distributed sensing
- Hybrid cooperation of static and mobile nodes
- Communication and control of mobile Cooperating Objects
- Distributed control and estimation over networks
- Decentralized algorithms for control over wireless sensor networks
- Decentralized, distributed, and cooperative optimization
- Applications of control of Cooperating Objects
- Real-time aspects of Cooperation Objects
- System software for Cooperating Objects
- Communication support for Cooperating Objects
- Real-world deployments of Cooperating Objects
- Applications of Cooperating Objects to Body Area Networks
- Cooperating Objects in Complex Systems
- Security and Privacy in Cooperating Objects
- Enterprise Integration of Cooperating Objects
- Application of wireless sensor networks on Pervasive computing
- Closed-loop applications of pervasive computing
A paper must be original material that has neither been previously published nor is currently under review by another conference or journal. Work-in-progress papers (max 4 pages) as well as full research papers (max 8 pages) are welcome. The papers should follow a two-column format on 8.5" x 11" pages (including figures, tables, acknowledgments and references). The text should use 10-point type and the margins should be a minimum of 1" top/bottom and 0.75" left/right of each page.
