-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ACM/IFIP EuroPar'2003 - Call for Papers Date: Wed, 29 Jan 2003 01:09:41 -0300 From: Mirela Sechi Moretti Annoni Notare <mirela(a)newsite.com.br> To: <mirela(a)ieee.org> Call for Papers (Submission Deadline: February 9, 2003) Euro-Par 2003 - Topic 15 Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing Klagenfurt, Austria August 26-29, 2003 http://europar-itec.uni-klu.ac.at/ * Description The development of small and powerful computing devices and, simultaneously, of wireless, mobile communication systems offers a great variety of new applications, summarized under the name of Mobile Computing. The phenomenal growth of those mobile computing devices, together with current trends in embedded systems and software, real-time interaction and omnipresent wireless networking fertilises the formation of a Ubiquitous Computing landscape, in which digital environments are aware of the presence of users, sensitive, adaptive and responsive to the users needs, habits and emotions and ubiquitously accessible for the user via natural interaction. This topic solicits papers dealing with the following mobile and ubiquitous computing elements: mobility, ubiquity, awareness, intelligence, and natural interaction. Mobility addresses solutions that help to make time, geographic, media and service boundaries less and less important. Ubiquity refers to a situation in which we are surrounded by a multitude of interconnected embedded systems, which are (mostly) invisible and moved into the background of our surrounding (workplace, building, home, outdoor). Awareness refers to the ability of the system to recognise and localise objects as well as people and their intentions. Intelligence refers to the fact that the digital surrounding is able to adapt itself to the people that live in it, learn from their behaviour, and possibly recognise as well as show emotion. Natural interaction finally refers to advanced modalities like natural speech- and gesture recognition, as well as speech- synthesis, which will allow a much more human-like communication with the digital environment than is possible today. The aim of the topic is to bring together, at Euro-Par 2003, computer scientists an engineers in the areas of wireless networking, mobile computing, and ubiquitous computing in order to present and share their ideas about the design and analysis of ubiquitous computing environments and the challenges imposed by the applications of mobile and ubiquitous computing. * Focus Mobile/wireless computing infrastructure Communication in mobile networks Mobility and QoS management Ad-hoc and personal area networks Media access techniques and terminals Ubiquitous/pervasive computing software architectures Ubiquitous access and context computing Smart devices and smart spaces Intelligent environments Sensors and actuators Positioning/tracking/authentication systems and technologies Mobile/ubiquitous/wearable computing scenarios Location-dependent/personalized wireless applications User interfaces and interaction models * Chairs Global Chair Prof. Max Mühlhäuser FG Telekooperation TU Darmstadt, Germany Email: max(a)informatik.tu-darmstadt.de Vice Chairs Prof. Azzedine Boukerche Department of Computer Sciences University of North Texas, USA Email: boukerche(a)cs.unt.edu Karin Anna Hummel Institute for Computer Science and Business Informatics University of Vienna, Austria Email: karin.hummel(a)univie.ac.at Local Chair Prof. Alois Ferscha Institute for Practical Computer Science, Software Group Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria Email: ferscha(a)soft.uni-linz.ac.at * Euro-Par Mission and Details Euro-Par is well established as the premier annual European conference on all aspects of parallel and distributed computing. The conference normally attracts more than 300 participants coming from universities, research centres and industry. Euro-Par 2003 will represent major themes in the categories of hardware, software, algorithms and applications. In common with previous years, Euro-Par 2003 will be organized as a number of parallel sessions on 19 topics for which papers are solicited. * Submission Details All accepted papers will be available at the conference in the proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. * Submission Key Dates Online submission site open: January 10, 2003 Final date for submission: February 9, 2003 Notification of acceptance: May 1, 2003 Camera ready version: May 25, 2003

The convergence of the telecom, datacom and mobile world has created a multi-service, multi-platform network of the new world: namely mobile wireless Internet. User mobility has created a new dimension in many research areas, including inter network and inter service roaming, mobility management, Quality of Service (QoS), resource management, network architecture and protocols, mobile multimedia applications and services, etc. New wireless network architectures are being proposed to cope with diverse applications, levels of mobility, and traffic types. Advanced mobility management techniques will support seamless IP connection across different networks, and provide end-to-end QoS support. A QoS-enabled multi-service-based high-speed backbone network is required to carry large amounts of packet-switched data for both wireline and wireless access. This issue of J-SAC will be devoted to the advanced architectures, protocols, and applications for wireless mobile Internet, in particular, mobility management, QoS provisioning and the interaction between the two. We seek original, previously unpublished, and completed contributions, not currently under review by another journal. Contributions emphasizing recent advances and new research directions are strongly encouraged. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Network architectures and protocols for wireless Internet * Integration and internetworking of wired and wireless networks * Inter network and inter service roaming solutions * Interoperability in multi-provider access networks * Inter/intra domain QoS protocols and mechanisms * Mobility management, in particular, QoS-aware mobility management * Related standards (3GPP, MWIF, 3G.IP, ETSI, IETF, ...) * Multimedia applications and services for different networks and user terminals * System architecture, protocol stack and reference model Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts in accordance to the IEEE J-SAC format described in the Information for Authors and submit four copies of their manuscript to one of the guest editors. Papers may also be submitted electronically as .pdf files via e-mail.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: Symposium on Wireless, Vehicular and Mobile Commerce (IEEE VTC) Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2003 11:21:03 -0500 (EST) From: Upkar Varshney <uvarshne(a)cis.gsu.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu CC: uvarshney(a)gsu.edu Call for Papers: Deadline Feb. 15, 2003 Wireless, Vehicular and Mobile Commerce: A Symposium at IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (www.vtc2003.org) October 4-9, 2003 Orlando, FL, USA Motivation and Scope With the emergence and wide spread adoption of wireless and mobile networks, devices, and middleware, mobile commerce applications are beginning to receive some interest in research and development community. According to estimates by Gartner Group, in 2004, at least 40% of consumer-to-business e-commerce will be initiated from smart phones. A study from the Wireless Data and Computing Service, a division of Strategy Analytics, reports that the worldwide mobile commerce market may rise to $200 Billion by 2004. The report predicts that transactions via wireless devices will generate about $14 Billion a year. In many European countries and Japan with significant wireless penetration, the mobile commerce market is already taking off and reaching billions of dollars a year. It is to be noted that mobile commerce may require significantly different approaches in design, development, and implementation of applications due to the inherent characteristics of wireless networks and mobile devices. Many interesting and important challenges include design and development of mobile commerce applications, networking requirements, transactions and security issues, business models and strategies. Mobile commerce will also significantly benefit from research in mobile devices, mobile middleware, and wireless network infrastructure. Vehicular technologies and intelligent transportation systems are likely to play a very important role in this emerging area of commerce. The symposium will bring together experts in this field and address significant challenges in mobile commerce from both technology and business application point of views. The symposium will cover several topics including * New m-commerce applications including mobile advertising, mobile financial applications, mobile inventory, proactive service management, wireless re-engineering among others * Requirements of m-commerce applications * Development of mobile commerce applications (new constraints, approaches, interoperability, processing and storage, desirable features) * Vehicular commerce * Use of vehicular technologies in m-commerce * Vehicle to vehicle commerce * Intelligent transportation systems and m-commerce * Emerging vehicular technologies for m-commerce * Infrastructure support from wireless networks (location management, wireless dependability, coverage, roaming, inter-working etc) * Location management support for mobile commerce (indoor vs outdoor, precision, performance and transaction requirements, multiple location technologies) * Location and context awareness * User and location specific service discovery * Devices, middleware, and operating systems support * Security and transactions in mobile commerce (mobile commerce transactions over wireless networks, new and current security paradigms for m-commerce) * Business issues and models for mobile commerce (pricing and new ways of charging, revenue generation and division among carriers and operators * Other emerging and related issues to m-commerce applications and technologies We are currently in the process of negotiating with a journal for a special issue on m-commerce. Some of the best papers from this symposium are likely to be included in the proposed issue. PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors MUST submit a short abstract (approximately 150 words) AND an extended abstract (up to 2 pages). The submission must include the name, complete mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and the email address of the author(s).
