-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Juergen Kleinoeder [mailto:Juergen.Kleinoeder@informatik.uni-erlangen.de] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 28. Januar 2004 12:38 An: gifgbs-ls(a)i4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de Betreff: GI-FG Betriebssysteme: Fachgruppentreffen Ulm, Programm und Einladung Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, sehr geehrte Kolleginnen und Kollegen, Herr Hauck hatte Sie im Dezember bzgl. des Treffens der GI/ITG-Fachgruppe Betriebssysteme an der Universitaet Ulm im Maerz angeschrieben. Wir haben zwischenzeitlich eine erfreuliche Zahl von Beitraegen erhalten und ein interessantes Programm fuer das Treffen zusammenstellen koennen. Da Herr Hauck momentan erkrankt ist, moechte ich Sie ueber das Programm informieren und Sie zu dem Fachgruppentreffen - auch wenn Sie selbst evtl. nicht Mitglied der Fachgruppe sind - herzlich einladen. Sollten Sie noch - unabhaengig von Ihrer Teilnahme - Interesse haben, eine Kurzvorstellung - etwa 1/2 Seite - Ihres Lehrstuhls bzw. Ihrer Arbeitsgruppe in den Tagungsband einzubringen, melden Sie sich bitte bei mir oder Herrn Hauck (hauck(a)informatik.uni-ulm.de). Nachdem wir mit dem Band einen moeglichst guten Ueberblick ueber die Betriebssystemaktivitaeten in Deutschland geben moechten, wuerden wir das dann noch beruecksichtigen. Im beigefügten Attachment erhalten Sie die Einladung zum Fruehjahrstreffen 2004 der GI/ITG-Fachgruppe Betriebssysteme mit dem Programm als pdf-Datei. Das Programm, das Anmeldeformular und weitere Informationen zum Frühjahrstreffen 2004 am 4. und 5. Maerz sind ausserdem auf den Web-Seiten unter http://www.betriebssysteme.org/Aktivitaeten/Treffen/2004-Ulm/ zu finden. ======================================== Einladung zum Frühjahrstreffen der GI/ITG-Fachgruppe Betriebssysteme am 04./05. März 2004 in Ulm -------------------- Unser Aufruf zum diesjährigen Frühjahrstreffen der Fachgruppe Betriebssysteme hat erfreulicherweise zu einer ungewöhnlich großen Anzahl von Einreichungen geführt. Wir standen damit vor der Aufgabe, aus 19 Kurzbeiträgen und 12 Langbeiträgen ein Programm zusammenzustellen, das einen möglichst guten Überblick über die Aktivitäten im Bereich Betriebssysteme an Universitäten, Fachhochschulen und in Unternehmen im deutschsprachigen Raum bietet. Prof. Franz Hauck und die Fachgruppenleitung haben hieraus 5 Langbeiträge aus dem Bereich Betriebssysteme ausgewählt, 4 weiteren Langbeiträgen aus dem Bereich Middleware haben wir etwas kürzere Zeitrahmen eingeräumt und 11 Kurzbeiträge sind für die kurze Vorstellung von Lehrstuhl- bzw. Unternehmensaktivitäten vorgesehen. Nach dem Vortragsblöcken am Donnerstag planen wir ein Podium, auf dem voraussichtlich vier Vertreter aus Unternehmen und Universitäten ihre Meinungen über künftige Aktivitäten der Hochschulen im Bereich Forschung und Lehre vorstellen. Die anschließende Diskussion zwischen Podium und den Teilnehmern soll Perspektiven und Ideen für künftige Forschungs- und Kooperationsprojekte aufzeigen und als Einstieg für weitere Gespräche am Abend dienen. Alle eingereichten Beiträge - auch die nicht durch Vortrag vertretenen - werden zu einem Tagungsband zusammengestellt, der dann auch an alle Fachgruppenmitglieder versandt wird. Am Vormittag des 4. März wird zusätzlich zu dem Vortragsprogramm ein Tutorial zum Thema Power-Management in Betriebssystemen angeboten. Wir konnten hierzu Frank Bellosa, derzeit Univ. Karlsruhe, gewinnen. Die Teilnahme an dem Tutorial ist kostenfrei, für die Organisation bitten wir aber um die entsprechenden Angaben auf dem Anmeldeformular. Wir laden Sie herzlich zum diesjährigen Frühjahrstreffen der Fachgruppe nach Ulm ein und würden uns sehr über Ihre Teilnahme freuen!

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] CFP: IEEE Computer Special Issue on Sensor Networks (Note: Deadline extended to Feb 16) Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2004 10:35:24 -0800 From: Mani Srivastava <mbs(a)ee.ucla.edu> To: tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu, SIGMOB(a)ACM.ORG, SIGCOMM-MEMBERS(a)ACM.ORG, MOBICOM(a)ACM.ORG Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. Please note the deadline extension relative to previous postings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CALL FOR PAPERS: IEEE COMPUTER SPECIAL ISSUE ON SENSOR NETWORKS IEEE Computer seeks articles for a special issue on sensor networks, to appear in August 2004 . Guest editors are David Culler from the University of California, Berkeley, Mani Srivastava from the University of California, Los Angeles, and Deborah Estrin from the University of California, Los Angeles. Distributed systems of embedded smart sensors and actuators promise unprecedented capabilities for the instrumentation and monitoring of the physical world including: temperature, vibration, air pressure, chemicals, even voice and video data. Proponents envision a host of novel applications for sensor networks, from earthquake structural failure analysis to rainforest habitat research. The small and many characteristics of sensor networks have fostered research in disciplines that have previously been focused on computing and networking at a much larger scale. This interest is driven by the vision that, like the Internet, large-scale distributed networks of sensors will pervade the world but at a physical, rather than virtual, level. Computer 's special issue will focus on all aspects of the field: hardware, architectures, wireless communication, networking, middleware, application development, applications, and experience. There are opportunities for short and long papers, providing a forum for reporting on both early and mature research. Topics of particular interest include sensor network architectures; sensor node hardware; networking; low-power protocols and services; distributed algorithms; data query, dissemination, routing, and fusion; novel applications and services; application development tools; and deployment experiences. The deadline for papers is 16 February 2004. [Note: This new extended deadline is a hard deadline for us to meet the publishing schedule] Send inquiries to the guest editors at culler(a)eecs.berkeley.edu ,mbs(a)ee.ucla.edu, and destrin(a)cs.ucla.edu . Submission guidelines are available at http://computer.org/computer/author.htm. Submit manuscripts via Manuscript Central at http://cs-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/.

Thank you and we apologize if you received this message more than once. Best Regards, Fahd Al-Bin-Ali Publicity Chair UbiComp 2004 CALL FOR PAPERS UBICOMP 2004 The 6th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing 7-10 September, 2004 Nottingham, UK www.ubicomp.org <http://www.ubicomp.org/> You are invited to contribute original and exciting ideas to UbiComp 2004, the Sixth International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing. UbiComp is the premier venue for presenting research and development achievements in the design, implementation, deployment and evaluation of computing technology that migrates beyond our desktops and becomes increasingly embedded in a wide variety of other objects. Submissions to UbiComp 2004 must be original, unpublished work and may not be simultaneously submitted to any other conference or journal. <http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/>Papers will be included in the Conference Proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) <http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html>. Each conference attendee will receive a printed copy of the proceedings; additional copies can be purchased through Springer-Verlag. The proceedings will also be made available through digital libraries. Submissions must be in the LNCS format; full instructions and templates are available at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html A Conference Supplement, containing extended abstracts for Interactive Posters, Demonstrations, Videos, Doctoral Colloquium papers, and Workshop and Panel descriptions, will be printed and given to conference attendees. Electronic versions of these materials will also be posted on the UbiComp web site. Submissions for these participation categories must use the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format. * * * * *Full papers* For Ubicomp 2004 we are soliciting high quality technical papers that describe original, unpublished research on handheld, mobile or ubiquitous computing. Potential areas of interest include: technologies, methodologies and formalisms to support ubiquitous computing and the development of ubiquitous computing applications (e.g. novel devices, system software, software engineering techniques and interaction methods); reports on experiences of designing, developing, deploying and living with ubiquitous computing systems; and, studies of the wider implications of ubiquitous computing. We are particularly seeking papers appropriate to the interdisciplinary community represented at the UbiComp 2004 conference. Submissions should report concrete, transferable results that contribute to our understanding of ubiquitous computing and help advance the state-of-the-art. Papers will be evaluated on the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the field, technical correctness and presentation. All papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the UbiComp 2004 program committee and by additional members of the ubiquitous computing research community. Papers submitted to UbiComp 2004 must not be under simultaneous review for any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication. Technical papers should be no longer than 18 pages, including an abstract of no more than 100 words, all figures and references, and should be formatted according to the Springer-Verlag LNCS format. In contrast to previous Ubicomp conferences there are no separate categories for long and short papers; all papers will be considered as full papers and should be an appropriate length for their content. Accepted papers will be published in the UbiComp 2004 Proceedings and authors are, of course, required to attend the conference to present their work. UbiComp 2004 submissions should be properly anonymized to facilitate blind reviewing: papers being submitted should not list the authors, affiliations or addresses on the first page -- to preserve formatting, it would be best to leave these sections blank. Author, affiliation and address information should still be filled out on the electronic form for submitting the paper, and final camera-ready copies should have this information included. Authors are also encouraged to take care throughout the entire document to minimize references that may reveal the identity of the authors or institutions. UbiComp 2004 requires electronic submission. Reviewers will be instructed to maintain the confidentiality of all materials for submitted papers throughout the entire reviewing process. Submissions should contain no information that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of publication. Full submission details are available at www.ubicomp.org <http://www.ubicomp.org> *Deadline for Submission*: Papers due midnight GMT on March 12th 2004. *Panels* Panels provide a forum in which to examine innovative, provocative, controversial, or late-breaking issues. The best panels are often structured as a debate with an opportunity for audience participation. We are open to innovative formats including live demonstrations and/or technology competitions. Panel proposals should be no longer than 4 pages in the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format, and should include the panel topic, the names of panelists who have agreed to participate, one paragraph biographical sketches describing each panelists’ expertise, a position statement by each panelist, an overview of the ways in which the position statements relate to each other, and the proposed structure or format of the panel. If supporting technologies are required, proposals should clearly list these. Abstracts of accepted Panel proposals will be published in the Conference Supplement that will be circulated to attendees at the conference. *Further Submission Details to Follow* *Deadline for Submission: **May 7^th 2004* *Videos* Videos are a great way to present innovations in ubiquitous computing, especially for those systems that would be particularly difficult to deploy at the conference for a live demonstration. Authors who are considering submissions in other participation categories are also encouraged to consider submitting formal videos that illustrate their work. Video submissions should be 4 to 8 minutes long. Longer videos will be subject to stricter review criteria. Authors must also submit a short paper abstract with a maximum of 2 pages in the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format, including all figures and references, for each video submission. A panel of international reviewers will review videos for their technical content, interest and relevance to the ubiquitous computing community, communication effectiveness, and production quality. The video program will be playing continuously at the conference and will be published on a DVD+R and distributed to conference attendees. Abstracts of accepted Videos will be published in the Conference Supplement that will be circulated to attendees at the conference. *Further Submission Details to Follow* *Deadline for Submission: **May 7^th 2004* *Workshops* Workshops provide an opportunity to discuss and explore emerging areas of ubiquitous computing research with a group of like-minded researchers and practitioners. Workshops may focus on any aspect of ubiquitous computing, established concerns or new ideas. The goal of the workshop is to share understandings and experiences, to foster research communities, to learn from each other and to envision future directions. Workshop proposals should be no longer than 4 pages in the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format, and should include a summary of no more than 150 words describing the theme(s) of the workshop, a longer description of the workshop activities and goals, the background of the organizer(s), the maximum number of participants, the means of soliciting participation, and the means of selecting participants. Workshops will be held on September 7^th the day before the main conference. Opportunities will be available for the outcome of workshops to be reported to the rest of the UbiComp 2004 conference Abstracts of accepted Workshop proposals will be published in the Conference Supplement that will be circulated to attendees at the conference. *Further Submission Details to Follow* *Deadline for Submission: **May 7^th 2004* *Posters * Posters provide an opportunity for researchers to present work in a more open format where authors interact directly with groups of conference attendees. We especially encourage submission of late-breaking and preliminary results, smaller results not suitable for a full Paper, innovative ideas not yet validated through user studies, student research, and other research best presented in this open format. Poster submissions should include an extended abstract of no longer than 2 pages in the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format, including all figures and references. Submissions may also include a separate description of the poster for review purposes, also limited to two pages; this description is encouraged for posters that have an interactive or visual component that is not easily determined from the abstract. Accepted Poster abstracts will be published in a Conference Supplement that will be circulated to attendees at the conference. *Further Submission Details to Follow* *Deadline for Submission: **June 11^th 2004* *Demonstrations* We seek proposals for demonstrations of ubiquitous computing technologies across the full milieu of everyday life: office, home, street, park, train, automobile, bedroom, bathroom, work, play, desktop, handheld, worn, public, private, community, individual, shared, and personal. We welcome a wide range of submission from scenarios involving innovative solutions of focused tasks as well as playful pursuits. We particularly encourage demonstrations that include participation by conference attendees and provoke discussion about issues within the field of ubiquitous computing. All submissions will be peer-reviewed to ensure a high quality demonstrations program. Research prototypes, provocative concept demonstrations, and commercial products are welcome. However, this forum is not an opportunity for marketing or sales presentations. Presenters must have been directly involved with the development of the system and be able to explain the differentiating and novel contributions of the system. Demonstrations of previously introduced technologies are welcome. *Further Submission Details to Follow* *Deadline for Submission: **June 11^th 2004* *Doctoral Colloquium* The Doctoral Colloquium is a forum in which Ph.D. students can meet and discuss their work with each other and a panel of experienced UbiComp researchers and practitioners. We welcome applicants from a broad range of disciplines and approaches that inform ubiquitous computing, including computer science, engineering, cognitive science, sociology, and related fields. Applicants should be beyond the proposal stage and into their dissertation research. The Colloquium committee will select approximately 10 participants who will be expected to give short, informal presentations of their work during the Colloquium, to be followed by a discussion. Submissions should be no longer than 2 pages including an abstract of no more than 100 words and a description of the work in progress. In addition, a 2-3 paragraph biographical sketch should be supplied. Submissions should be formatted according to the ACM SIGCHI conference publications format. The Doctoral Colloquium will be held on September 7th, the day before the main conference. Doctoral Colloquium papers will be published in the Conference Supplement that will be circulated to attendees at the conference.. *Further Submission Details to Follow* *Deadline for Submission: **June 11^th 2004* *Student volunteers * Student volunteers provide the backbone of any successful conference. Accepted volunteers are expected to work in scheduled sessions during the conference, but will also be given great opportunities to attend the program and socialize. All student volunteers will receive a free registration to the conference (including meals & special events). *SV Chair*: Elaine May Huang, /Georgia// Tech/ *Deadline for Submission: **June 11^th 2004*

NOSSDAV invites submissions on all areas of multimedia, but strongly encourages submissions in newly emerging specialized areas such as networked games and peer-to-peer streaming. NOSSDAV 2004 will be run very much as a workshop with an emphasis on cutting-edge research and lively discussion. Papers grounded in high-quality experimental research based on prototype or real systems, including innovative experimental commercial designs and prototypes, as well as papers proposing new research directions for the community or calling into question existing conventional wisdom are particularly welcome. Given the growth and diversification of the field, a broad view will be taken in deciding what papers are within the scope of the workshop. For instance, papers describing novel ideas in congestion control or application-level multicast that are arguably of interest in the context of multimedia, would be in scope. If you are unsure and wish to check if a paper is within the workshop scope please email the Co-Chairs. ***Student participation is strongly encouraged*** - supported by several student travel grants and registration fee rebates. Submissions should be no longer than 6 pages. The expectation is that papers accepted at the workshop will eventually lead to full-length papers at high-quality conferences or journals. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Networked games * Peer-to-peer multimedia * Broadband streaming media content distribution * 3D multimedia and (networked) immersive environments * Wireless and ad-hoc network multimedia systems * Embedded multimedia devices (e.g., PVRs) * Multimedia security * Internet telephony * Sensory interactive applications * Digital rights management Deadlines: Paper registration deadline - February 23, 2004, (5pm EST) (*firm*) Paper submission deadline - March 1, 2004, (5pm EST) (*firm*) Program Co-Chairs: Venkat Padmanabhan, Microsoft Research (USA) Cormac Sreenan, University College Cork (Ireland) Email: nossdav2004-pcchairs(a)cs.ucc.ie Program Committee: Kevin Almeroth, UC Santa Barbara (USA) Ernst Biersack, Institut Eurecom (France) Phil Chou, Microsoft Research (USA) Christophe Diot, Intel Research (UK) Kevin Jeffay, UNC Chapel Hill (USA) Srinivasan Keshav, University of Waterloo (Canada) Sue Moon, KAIST (Korea) Reza Rejaie, University of Oregon (USA) Henning Schulzrinne, Columbia University (USA) Srinivasan Seshan, CMU (USA) Anees Shaikh, IBM Research (USA) Lars Wolf, TU Braunsch -------------

PODC has historically focused more on a higher level, abstracting away the platform on which the computation takes place. But PODC was covering and contributing algorithms for distributing computing before the Internet platform arrived. The special track on Internet Algorithms will attempt to expand the focus and the community, and bring modern trends on Internet research closer to the PODC community, seeding future areas of research for the years to come. We are soliciting research contributions on the design, specification, and implementation of algorithms for current and future Internet applications. Both theoretical work and practical work that demonstrates fundamental principles of distributed computing in this setting are desired. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, + Peer-to-peer, overlay, and content distribution networks + Analysis of small world networks + Algorithmic mechanism design for distributed systems + Distributed caching protocols + GRID computing + Multicast protocols + Network coding + Compression and coding in distributed systems + Models of fault-tolerance and reliability for Internet networks + Search engines and the Web: crawling and indexing + Data stream algorithms for distributed systems: stream algorithms for network monitoring, handling network traffic, and manipulating network-generated data. The special track is an integral part of PODC. The papers for the special track are to be submitted to PODC, as described in the PODC call for papers. The PODC program committee reflects expertise in the subjects of the special track, as well as in other PODC subjects. For the dates, formats, submission instructions, etc., please see the PODC call for papers (http://www.podc.org/podc2004/cfp.html). _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccc

The guest editors for this special issue are David Simplot-Ryl and Gilles Grimaud, University of Lille, France, and Jean-Jacques Vandewalle, Gemplus Systems Research Labs, France. The ubiquitous sudden increase of new networked devices and the fast proliferation of distributed computing involving all kinds of computing devices create a unique challenge. Innovative solutions are required for the development, implementation and operation of distributed applications in complex IT environments full of diversity and heterogeneity. The concept of 'smart object' is defined as the junction between miniaturization with the development of wireless communications. A large number of applications in daily life enriched can be imagined: from PDA networks to smart space, from wireless smartcard to smart fridges. Smart objects like smartcards, RFID tags, wireless sensors, smart dust, require suitable basic software which takes into account the specificity of smart objects: limited resources, transient communication links, mobile and untrusted environment, etc. These constraints impact in operating system design which represents a huge challenge for a great number of research activities. The goal of this special issue of the International Journal of Computers and Applications by ACTA Press, USA, is to publish original research and review articles in the domains of operating system and networking for smart devices given below. Areas of relevant interest we foresee (but not limited to) include: - Smart devices like smartcards, RFID tags, sensors and smart dusts - Embedded operating system dedicated to smart objects - Mobile and ad hoc networking protocols and service discovery - Design principles and techniques for smart embedded systems - Middleware services for deployment and management of smart objects - Security and safety issues of ubiquitous computing systems - Location-dependent / personalized applications - Wireless sensor networks and group management of sensor nodes Submission and timetable The submission deadline is February 20, 2004. Send papers as .pdf file to David.Simplot(a)lifl.fr.
