-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ISCC06] Final CFP: ACM TOIT Special Issue on Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 10:36:41 -0500 From: Qusay H. Mahmoud <qmahmoud(a)cis.uoguelph.ca> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Final Call for Papers ---------------------------------------------- ACM Transactions on Internet Technology http://www.acm.org/toit/soa-middleware-cfp.pdf ---------------------------------------------- Special Issue on ----------------------------------------- Middleware for Service-Oriented Computing ----------------------------------------- Middleware is a distributed software layer that sits above the network operating system and below the application layer and abstracts the heterogeneity of the underlying environment. It provides an integrated distributed environment whose objective is to simplify the task of programming and managing distributed applications, and to provide value-added services such as naming and transactions to enable easier development and integration of applications and services. Middleware is about integration and interoperability of applications and services running on heterogeneous computing and communications devices. The role of middleware will continue to become increasingly important especially in emerging technologies such as mobile- and service-oriented computing and web services, where the integration of different applications and services from different wired and wireless businesses and service providers become increasingly important. Service-oriented computing is based on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which is an architectural style for building software applications that use services available in a network such as the web. It promotes loose coupling between software components so that they can be reused. Applications in SOA are built based on services, which is an implementation of a well-define business functionality, and such services can be consumed by clients in different applications or business processes. SOA provides a level of flexibility that was not possible before in the sense that services are software components with well-defined interfaces that are implementation independent, that services can be dynamically discovered, and composite services can be built from aggregates of other services. Especially applications running on mobile devices can benefit from the flexibility which is provided by SOA. All those benefits, however, raise challenges that need to be addressed by middleware. Middleware will play an essential role in managing and provisioning service-oriented applications. As a result, middleware will be everywhere! The aim of this special issue is be to present most recent research findings on “middleware for service-oriented computing”. We are seeking papers that are original, unpublished and not currently under review by workshops, conferences, or other journals. Possible topics include, but are not limited to the following: Middleware for selection and interaction among services Middleware for dynamic selection and composition of services/applications Middleware for dynamic coordination of services/applications Middleware for context-aware services/applications Middleware for managing services/applications Middleware for provisioning QoS-enabled services/applications Middleware for interoperable services Performance evaluation of middleware for service-oriented computing Submission Guidelines --------------------- All papers must be submitted by the midnight (EST) of December 1, 2005. The page limit is 50 double-spaced pages, with a 12pt font size. Please email your paper in PDF format to papers AT cis.uoguelph.ca. Important Dates --------------- Papers are due: December 1, 2005 Notifications: March 1, 2006 Revised papers: May 1, 2006 Notifications of final acceptance based on Editor-in-Chief’ comments: July 1, 2006 Final papers: September 1, 2006 Publication: First available issue (possibly third or fourth quarter of 2007) Guest Editors ------------- Qusay H.

The current third generation (3G) wireless systems and the next generation (4G) wireless systems in planning support higher bit rates. However, the high error rates and stringent delay constraints in wireless systems are still significant obstacles for these applications and services. On the other hand, the development of more advanced wireless systems provides opportunities for proposing novel wireless multimedia protocols and new applications and services that can take the maximum advantage of the systems. The symposium aims to provide an excellent forum for all experts working in these areas to join together and to discuss various important issues on multimedia over wireless. The timing of this symposium is set such that the ideas that come out of it can affect the evolution of 4G. The papers submitted to this symposium should focus on the state-of-the-art research in various important areas related to emerging technologies and standards on the coding and transmission of multimedia information over wireless networks. We solicit papers covering a variety of topics that include, but not limited to the following subjects: Advanced multimedia coding algorithms Error resilient and error concealment Video quality assessment Rate control for wireless video Scalable and multiple description multimedia coding and transmission Joint source-channel coding Efficient transport protocols for wireless Optimal resource allocation for energy-efficient wireless multimedia Cross-layer multimedia communication system design and optimization Proxy-based systems for video transcoding and content distribution Lightweight video encoding methods based on distributed source coding Quality of Service issues Multimedia processing for wireless sensor networks Wireless multimedia traffic modeling Only original and unpublished paper will be considered.

In addition to inheriting most of the security and privacy problems of the standard networked environment, the special characteristics of the mobile and wireless environments introduce new challenges that have only begun to be studied. It is vital that researchers and developers investigate and address these new challenges before they have a chance to cripple the promise of the mobile wireless future. To that end, the International Workshop on Research Challenges in Mobile and Wireless Security and Privacy will bring together leading researchers and developers in the security and privacy fields to study the special problems and challenges of the mobile and wireless environments. The goal of the workshop is to foster communication not only between the different security and privacy communities, but also between those communities and the distributed systems and information systems communities. Such collaboration is vital to achieve a high degree of security and privacy, without which the use and safety of mobile and wireless computing will be limited. Scope: ---------- The objective of the workshop is to define and establish a common infrastructure of the discipline and to develop a consensus-based document that will provide a foundation for implementation, standardization, and further research. The workshop will identify and define fundamental concepts and techniques, resolve conflicts between certain approaches in the area and provide a common ground for advanced research and development in security and privacy, concentrating on the special challenges of the mobile and wireless environments. The topics that will be addressed include, but are not limited to, the following, all as they pertain to the mobile and wireless environment: * Security issues in wireless LANs * Security issues in wireless Internet * Special security issues for mobile devices * Location privacy * Security issues in ubiquitous and pervasive computing * Security in wireless ad hoc networks * Mobile IP security * Wireless communication security * Trust and privacy issues in mobile environments * New vulnerabilities in wireless and mobile environments * New threats to privacy in wireless and mobile environments * Cryptology in mobile and wireless applications * Denial of service attacks in mobile and wireless environments * Intrusion detection systems for mobile and wireless environments * Security issues in Web services for mobile and wireless environments * Security issues in electronic mail in mobile and wireless environments * Firewalls and VPNs for mobile and wireless environments * Privacy leakage in mobile and wireless environments * Authentication and authorization protocols for mobile and wireless environments * Privacy-enhancing technologies for mobile and wireless environments * Privacy and policy issues in mobile and wireless environments * Access control in mobile and wireless environments * Electronic commerce security for mobile and wireless environments Workshop Format: ------------------- The workshop format will encourage productive interaction among participants. It will consist of the presentation of position papers and invited papers on new developments and current trends, with ample time allocated for group discussions. This format should provide a forum for collaborations to develop among members of the different research and development communities. Attendance will be limited and attendants will be asked to contribute to a consensus-based paper on security and privacy to be published after the workshop. Submission: ------------ Authors are invited to submit position papers discussing issues in the mobile and wireless networks security and privacy that must be addressed to achieve consensus. Position papers that challenge existing ideas in mobile and wireless networks security and privacy with new research, technologies and visionary applications are also encouraged. Position papers should be between 10 and 25 pages in length, and should include the title, author(s), authors' affiliation and an abstract. Submitters should also indicate their willingness to contribute to the final report. Electronic submission is strongly encouraged. If electronic submission is not possible, five (5) hard copies of the paper should be sent. Contact information for both forms of submission is provided below. The accepted papers will be distributed to the participants prior to the workshop and will also appear in print together with the consensus paper after the workshop.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP: IWSAWC 2006 - 6th International Workshop on Smart Appliances and Wearable Computing Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2005 13:28:24 GMT From: Martin Strohbach <strohbach(a)comp.lancs.ac.uk> To: <wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> ************************************************************************ Call for Papers IWSAWC 2006 6th International Workshop on Smart Appliances and Wearable Computing In conjunction with ICDCS 2006 July 4, 2006, Lisboa, Portugal (Submission deadline January 15, 2006) http://ubicomp.lancs.ac.uk/workshops/iwsawc2006 ************************************************************************ Through recent technological development researchers are now able to embed sensing, computation, communication and actuation in personal devices and everyday artefacts giving them the possibility to create large scale systems of interacting smart appliances, physical objects and wearable computers. This penetration of computation in all aspects of everyday life and work requires thorough exploration of new kinds of embedded and smart devices and software infrastructures and architectures that support such large-scale scenarios beyond the lab environment. The diversity of systems, devices, services and applications and their distributed nature raises important questions about collaboration between system components. Appropriate solutions often have to take potential resource limitations of connected devices and appliances into account. Contextual awareness, digital representations of physical system components as well as access methods and processing of distributed information are of specific importance - especially as smart devices and objects along with their services are seamlessly integrated in the real world to support users in their daily living activities. ## Scope: This workshop serves as a forum for the exchange of new findings in collaborative technologies and smart appliances deployed in real world environments. We intend to bring together practitioners from academia as well as industry to present their most recent research in these rapidly moving fields. Technical papers on smart appliances and collaborative technologies are solicited for oral presentation at IWSAWC 2006. Papers reporting new developments in computing with smart devices such as PDAs, wearable computers, and cellular phones as well as new insights in instrumentation of everyday artefacts and their infrastructures will be invited for presentation. Workshop topics include but are not limited to: - Enabling Technologies - Collaboration Concepts - Infrastructure Solutions - Home and Office Appliances - Novel Smart Objects - Portable Devices and Smart Sensors - Wireless-phone Computing - Home Networks and Wearable Networks - Networking Protocols - Security and Privacy Aspects - Wearable Computers and PDAs - Software and Service Architectures - Location and Context-Aware Computing ## Format: Authors of accepted papers will be invited for oral presentation at the workshop. There will also be a poster session provinding an opportunity for researchers to present their planned, on-going or recently-finished work and highlighting recent results in the field of Smart Appliances and Wearable Computing. Presenters are encouraged to show additional demonstrations facilitating the poster. ## Important Dates *********************************************** Submission deadline: January 15, 2006 Notification of acceptance: February 29, 2006 Camera ready papers: March 29, 2006 *********************************************** ## Paper Submission: Technical papers should be submitted via the workshop webpage, not exceed a maximum length of 6 two-column pages and include an abstract of 100-150 words.
