The Westin Lombard Yorktown Center
Chicago, Illinois, USA
Workshop on Sensor Web Enablement (SWE 2010)
CALL FOR PAPERS
As part of
The 2010 International Symposium on Collaborative Technologies and Systems (CTS 2010)
http://cisedu.us/cis/cts/10/main/callForPapers.jsp
Abstract Submission Deadline: December
18, 2009
Paper Submission Deadline: January 18, 2010
SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc's Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standards enable
developers to make all types of sensors, transducers, and sensor data repositories
discoverable, accessible, and useable via the Web. The SWE effort involves OGC
members in developing the global framework of standards and best practices that make
linking diverse sensor related technologies fast and practical. Standards make it
possible for users to assemble sensor systems and components together efficiently; protect
investments; reduce likelihood of dead-end technologies, products or approaches; allow for
future expansion and encourage collaboration between Sensor Web components and
users.
The first elements of the standards began to appear about four years ago in 2005.
While the standards have continued to evolve and mature as they make their way through the
OGC process, various user communities have applied the standards with and without open
source implementations. The purpose of this workshop is to take a broad review of
the SWE standards as well as exchange experiences, present results and concepts on how the
standards might be utilized, extended and enhanced to develop robust, collaborative
systems of sensor systems.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited
to) the following:
- SWE Applications
- SWE Environments
- Sensor Types
- Usage Techniques
- SWE standards and Implementations including Private, Commercial, and Open
Source
- SWE Goals
- SWE Results
- Sensor Web Data Visualization
- Sensor Web Data Uncertainty Management
- Sensor Web Data Management (e.g., Indexing, Caching, Query Processing)
- Sensor Web Data Discovery and Search
- SWE Deployment and Real-world Applications
- SWE Implementations Benchmarks
- SWE Enhancements and Extensions (including use of ontologies, support for
semantic annotations, semantic sensor web or semantic sensor networks, smart sensing,
peer-to-peer computing)
- Workflow Integration and Provenance Management with SWE
- Convergence of GeoWeb, Sensor Web and Social Web
- Interoperable Middleware Architectures for heterogeneous Sensor Networks/Sensor
Web
- Programming Abstraction of Sensor Network Mapping to Complex Scientific
Modeling Domains
- Experiences and Potential Future Directions for this Collaboration Standard
PAPER SUBMISSION
You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above and other
topics related to sensor web enablement. Submitted papers must not have been published or
simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with
authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email
addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6
keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 400 words.
The full manuscript should be at most 10 pages using the two-column IEEE format.
Additional pages will be charged at additional fee. Please include page numbers on
all submissions to make it easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments. Please submit
your abstract via the Microsoft CMT submission system by
December 18, 2009
, and
upload the full paper by the deadline of January 18, 2010
. Electronic (pdf) submissions are encouraged and should be submitted at Microsoft
CMT SWE2010 page (
https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/SWE2010/
). If it is impossible to use electronic submission system, send information by
email [include in Subject: SWE2010] to
allenk@saic.com
and
beebeb@saic.com
.
Consistent with standard practice, each paper will receive a minimum of three
reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, technical
clarity and presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the
authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. Authors of accepted papers
must guarantee that their papers will be registered and presented at the workshop.
Accepted papers will be published in the Symposium proceedings. Instructions for
final manuscript format and requirements will be posted on the CTS 2010 Symposium web site
later. It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and soft
copies and be available at the time of the conference. The proceedings is projected
to be included in the IEEE Digital Library and indexed accordingly.
