20 Oct '14

*********************************************************************************** The 3rd International Workshop on Software Defined Sensor Networks (SDSN 2015) http://cs.cug.edu.cn/sdsn/2015/index.html Tokyo, Japan, March 2-4, 2015 *********************************************************************************** ---------------------- Important Dates ---------------------- - Manuscript Submission: Oct. 31, 2014 - Acceptance Notification: Nov. 15, 2014 - Camera ready: Dec. 1, 2014 - Workshop Dates: Mar. 2-4, 2015 ---------------------- Scope and Overview ---------------------- After a decade of extensive research on application-specific wireless sensor networks, the recent development of information and communication technologies makes it practical to realise software-defined sensor networks (SDSNs), which are able to adapt various application requirements and to fully explore the computation and communication resources. Many emerging technologies such as software defined radio, over-the-air programming, field programmable gate array, cloud computing, etc., are available to realize the vision of SDSNs from a diversity of aspects, from the physical layer to the application layer. However, how to harness the benefits of these technologies towards SDSNs is still in its infancy. Many challenging are still faced and it is significant to tackle them. ---------------------- Topics of Interest ---------------------- The purpose of the 3rd International Workshop on Software-Defined Sensor Networks (SDSN 2015) is to offer a forum for practitioners and researchers from diverse backgrounds to interact and exchange experiences about the design and implementation of SDSNs. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ï¿½ communication and network protocols ï¿½ sensor network applications ï¿½ Internet of things ï¿½ cognitive sensor networks ï¿½ over-the-air programming ï¿½ hardware design and implementation ï¿½ operating systems and resource management ï¿½ awareness computing ï¿½ environment and context modeling ï¿½ middleware systems ï¿½ deployment and configuration ï¿½ programming languages and compilers ï¿½ software engineering for wireless sensor networks ï¿½ deployment and configuration ï¿½ energy efficient protocols ï¿½ prototypes, testbeds, field experiments ï¿½ cloud-assisted wireless sensor network management ï¿½ cloud-assisted data management and analysis ï¿½ context sensing and context-aware computing ï¿½ architecture design and evaluation ï¿½ network function virtualization (NFV) and NFV in sensor networks ---------------------- Paper submission ---------------------- Papers are solicited in the IEEE proceedings format with up to six (6) pages. IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. You can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at the following web page: http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting Papers in PDF format must be submitted via Easy Chair by using the following URL: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sdsn2015.

Talk tomorrow, 12:30: Juan de Pablo
by Ian Foster 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

Should be of interest Computation Institute Presentation Speaker: Juan de Pablo, Institute for Molecular Engineering, University of Chicago Host: Ian Foster Date: October 16, 2014 Time: 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Location: University of Chicago, Searle 240A, 5735 S. Ellis Ave. This talk will be broadcast via Adobe Connect (see below) Multiscale Modeling of Block Polymer Assembly for Nanomanufacturing Abstract: Directed copolymer assembly (DCA) has emerged as a promising alternative for patterning at sub-lithographic length scales. The basic idea is to control the self-assembly of multiblock polymers through the application of external fields, surface patterns, and processing conditions. By employing materials whose characteristic dimensions are smaller than those of canonical features encountered in semiconductor devices, it is possible to integrate self-assembling systems into existing manufacturing processes, thereby increasing resolution at modest expense. Much progress has been made over the past decade, but a number of significant challenges remain. Our recent efforts at the University of Chicago have focused on development of a molecular based, multiscale computational modeling approach aimed at gaining a fundamental understanding of directed copolymer assembly on nanopatterned substrates. This presentation will begin with a brief overview of available theoretical and computational approaches, along with a discussion of their advantages and limitations. That overview will be followed with a description of recent modeling advances that have enabled quantitative descriptions of time-dependent, morphological evolution during thermal annealing and solvent annealing processes. In the latter case, the models allow for a description of the selective, time-dependent swelling (or de-swelling) of distinct domains of the copolymer resist material, and are therefore able to describe the path followed by particular blends of copolymers, homopolymers, and solvents, on their way to metastable or equilibrium assembly. Given the predictive nature of such models, some of our recent efforts have gradually focused on the coupling of molecular modeling and evolutionary optimization algorithms. Through that coupling, a new paradigm is emerging in which computations are used to identify surface patterns and block polymer formulations leading to target morphologies and circuit layouts. This presentation will include a brief description of those efforts. Information: Lunch will be provided This talk will be broadcast to Argonne National Laboratory, TCS Building 240, Room 5172.

To be more accurate, the web site seems to encourage people to vote every 24 hours.

Hi Everyone, Can you simply hit vote on this today (and every day, 24 hours apart if you remember) until October 6? This is something we're trying to win that involved Charlie Catlett's Array of Things project, and something will run in Argonne Today tomorrow as well. Unfortunately the way the voting is set up people can vote every single day, so unless we get big numbers of people voting we don't have as much of a chance to win. Thanks!
