Special Issue of the ACM SIGBED Review on the CONET 2012 Workshop
14, Sep, 2012
Following up on the successful CONET Workshop 2012, co-located with the CPSWeek and held in Beijing, China in April 2012, CISTER/INESC-TEC researchers Mário Alves and Nuno Pereira organized and guest-edited a special issue of the ACM SIGBED Review (Volume 9, Number 3, July 2012).
The CONET workshop program included ten high quality papers that were selected after a rigorous reviewing process by the Program Committee, from which eight of them appear in this special issue. The workshop program was complemented by a keynote speech by NSF Career awarded Kamin Whitehouse (University of Virginia, USA) on “A computational approach to energy-efficient buildings” and an industrial talk given by Nic Lane, from the Mobile Sensing Systems Group at Microsoft Research Asia. To wrap up the workshop, a panel including the keynote speaker, Thiemo Voigt (Swedish Institute of Computer Science) and Tarek Abdelzaher (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), discussed the topic “Smart Cities: playground for cooperating objects?”.
The ACM SIGBED review is a peer-reviewed quarterly publication of ACM SIGBED (special interests group on embedded systems). This on-line newsletter provides a dissemination forum for research on embedded computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, embedded software, embedded system architecture, model-based design, distributed real-time middleware, real-time architectures, feedback control, low-power computing, sensor networks, security, and embedded applications. All papers published in the ACM SIGBED review are listed in the ACM Digital Library.
