The availability of small, low-cost, and low-power sensors, radios, and microcontrollers has triggered a huge wave of research in networked embedded sensing systems. As a result, different research communities have emerged that work on related aspects, but have slightly different foci. A focus of the sensor network community is on energy-efficient systems and networking solutions. While these aspects are also fundamental for ubiquitous computing, a focus of the latter community is on user interaction. The currently emerging cyber-physical systems community emphasizes the integration of actuation and control. Despite these differences, the realization of the above visions involves a common fundamental challenge: The need for trustworthy computing solutions to deliver secure, private, and reliable computing and communication services.

The aim of the IEEE International Conference on Sensor Networks, Ubiquitous, and Trustworthy Computing (SUTC 2010) is to bring together the above communities to exchange latest results, to join efforts in solving the common challenges, but also to contrast the developments in the different communities. To support this goal, the conference will feature several (serial) tracks devoted to sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, and cyber-physical systems, as well as tracks devoted to common themes such as pervasive services and data management, embedded networking, and trustworthy computing. In addition, the conference features invited talks and panel discussions.

Technical Paper Preparation Instructions

Manuscripts must be written in English and follow the instructions in the Manuscript Formatting and Templates page

Document templates are located at:

Regular Papers should be no longer than eight (8) pages, Demo papers should no longer than two (2) pages.

All paper submissions will be carefully reviewed by at least three experts and reviews will be returned to the author(s) with comments to ensure the high quality of the accepted papers. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the conference. Please only submit original material where copyright of all parts is owned by the authors declared and which is not currently under review elsewhere. Please see the IEEE policies for further information.

Technical Paper Submission Instructions

Only electronic submission will be accepted. Technical paper authors MUST submit their manuscripts through EasyChair. Please follow this link (please register if not an EasyChair user). Manuscripts may only be submitted in PDF format.

A copyright form needs to be submitted upon acceptance of the paper and is not required at this stage.

Note:

1. Every paper accepted for publication in the Proceedings of SUTC 2010 MUST be presented during the conference.

2. Every paper accepted for SUTC 2010 MUST have attached to it at least one registration at the full member/nonmember rate. Thus, for a paper for which all authors are students, one student author will be required to register at the full registration rate.

Special Sessions

Special sessions at sutc2010 are an important modality to supplement the regular program with a focused and in-depth view at a specific field: the special tracks will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in a given area and highlight important research directions in a field of special interest to Semantic Computing. The special sessions at SUTC 2010 are:

Semantic-Based Interoperability

This special session will provide a platform for some of the most representative European research projects that work on novel approaches to semantics-based interoperability in Service-oriented Infrastructures. Targeted projects are for example SOA4All, COIN and other projects on services and software architectures. In particular, we expect contributions that consider semantic interoperability at the level of:
- service composition
- service discovery/matchmaking
- service negotiation
- service adaptation

Organizers: Dr. Elena Simperl, Dr. Federico Facca, Reto Krummenacher

Special Session on Semantic Speech Retrieval

This special session addresses the use of semantic approaches and technologies in spoken-content-based multimedia access. Speech technology is increasingly applied to provide or enhance semantic access to audiovisual content.

Organizers: Joachim Kohler, Franciska de Jong, Wessel Kraaij, Roeland Ordelman
