Today’s management systems are unable to cope with the complexity, heterogeneity and automation required by the pervasive computing vision. New paradigms, models and technology need to be developed to allow computer systems manage themselves in accordance with high-level guidance from humans. This workshop seeks to explore the theoretic, technological and organizational challenges in managing ubiquitous communications and application services. The workshop provides a single-track scientific programme containing a blend of keynote presentations from leaders in the research of communications and services management systems, peer-reviewed papers and a small selection of invited presentations. The goal of the workshop is to investigate the state of the art in managing ubiquitous communications and services from a broad perspective. Submissions are invited for original, and previously unpublished research in all aspects of management techniques in ubiquitous communications, including: • Context Aware Self Management and Self Configuration Management • Policy Based Management • Autonomic Communication Management • Wireless and Fixed Network Integrated Management • Management of Smart Spaces and Applications (Smart Home/Office) • Adaptive Service and Network Management • Security, Privacy, and Trust Management in Ubiquitous Communications • Management and Control of Mobile Ad-hoc and Wireless Sensor Networks • Content Oriented Network & Service Management • Distributed Self Management & Collaborative Governance • Context Identification, Retrieval, Prediction and Management • Service and Network Management for Optimised Personalisation • Managing Collaborative Ubicomp Applications • Provisioning and Maintenance of Quality of Service in Ubicomp environments • Knowledge Representation Techniques and Ontologies for Distributed Management Services • User Interaction with Self-Managing UbiComp Systems Workshop Chair: Dirk Pesch, CIT, IRL Scientific Programme Committee: Nazim Agoulmine, Uni d’Evry, FR Owen Conlan, TCD, IRL Kieran Delaney, CIT, IRL Simon Dobson, UCD-Dublin, IRL William Donnelly, WIT, IRL Brendan Jennings, WIT, IRL Martin Klepal, CIT, IRL David Lewis, TCD, IRL Ryusuke Masuoka Kevin Curran, UU, UK Mícheál Ó Foghlú, WIT, IRL Fergus O'Reilly, CIT, IRL Declan O'Sullivan, TCD, IRL Tom Pfeifer, WIT, IRL Roy Sterritt, UU, UK Michael Smirnov, FOKUS, GER Morris Sloman, Imperial College, UK John Strassner, Motorola, USA Sven van der Meer, WIT, IRL Vincent Wade, TCD, IRL Yacine Ghamri-Doudane, IIE-CNAM, FR Hani Hagras Important dates: ================ Submission deadline: February 1st, 2006 (new date) Notification of acceptance: March 1st, 2006 Final manuscript due: March 31st, 2006 Workshop: May 4th and 5th 2006 Papers should be emailed to: MUCS2006(a)cit.ie Papers should be in Springer Verlag LNCS format and be no longer that 10 pages in length -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. David Lewis Knowledge and Data Engineering Group Dave.Lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie Department of Computer Science +353 1 608 2158 Trinity College, Dublin http://www.cs.tcd.ie/Dave.Lewis/ -------------------------------------------------------------- +++++++++ posted to acf-members by "David Lewis" <dave.lewis(a)cs.tcd.ie> +++++++++

Please help to disseminate the CfP to your friends and colleagues who might have interest. For more information, please visit _http://www.ece.northwestern.edu/~haohong/com_magz/index.html_. Thanks. Haohong <<cfp.pdf>> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Call for Papers: IEEE Communications Magazine* *Special Issue on “Advances in Visual Content Analysis and Adaptation for Multimedia Communications”* *Background* Modern multimedia communication applications such as mobile television, video telephony, streaming and gaming over wired and wireless networks have had different economic success and societal impact to-date. Such successes depend, to a large extend, on their abilities to surpass technical challenges related to visual content adaptation and delivery, which rely on solutions provided by visual content analysis. On the other hand, current communications networks consist of channels with various throughputs, quality of services (QoS) and protocols, and heterogeneous terminals with wide range of capabilities, accessibilities and user preferences. The rapidly increasing gap between the richness of multimedia content and the variations of the channels and terminals urges the development of techniques for universal multimedia content access, which heavily relies on the visual analysis tools to understand the data from all perspectives including network conditions, terminal capabilities, coding and transmission efficiencies and user preferences. Therefore, to effectively improve the usability, efficiency and robustness of multimedia communications in general and visual content access, adaptation and delivery in particular, visual analysis and processing methods must be able to provide automatic or semi-automatic solutions for: * High accuracy content segmentation and representation * Adapting or transcoding data for various channels and terminals * Scalability across the visual content * Content-aware robust coding and transmissions *Scope of contributions* The goal of this special issue is to collate and disseminate recent and relevant contributions in the area of visual content analysis including content representation, understanding, access, adaptation, protection and transmission, with focus on their impact on visual communication systems. Tutorial papers are solicited that cover the topics including but not limited to: * Channel-aware visual content adaptation - Visual content repurposing - Visual content transcoding - Visual content protection * Terminal-aware visual content adaptation - Object segmentation and tracking - Model-based and object-based representations - Layered and scalable representations * Visual content access and delivery - Resource-efficient content-aware adaptation and transmission policies - Robust content-based coding and transmissions - Content-adaptive cross-layer system design and optimization * Applications - Video game repurposing for wireless transmission - Video content indexing and retrieval for mobile appliances - Visual analysis for mobile broadcasting *Schedule:* Full article submission: April 1, 2006 Acceptance/rejection/revision: July 1, 2006 Final manuscript due: September 1, 2006 Publication date: January 1, 2007 *Submission of the papers:* For manuscript submission, the authors should follow the IEEE Communications Magazine guidelines under "Information for Authors" at _http://www.comsoc.org/pubs/commag/sub_guidelines.html_ Manuscripts should be submitted through Manuscript Central at _http://commag-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/_.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ISCC06] SIUMI cfp (within IEEE ICDCS'06) Date: Thu, 08 Dec 2005 19:04:08 +0100 From: Paolo Bellavista <pbellavista(a)deis.unibo.it> To: ISCC2005(a)mail.ing.unibo.it Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this Call-for-Papers _________________________________________________________________________ Call for Papers: 2nd International Workshop on Services and Infrastructure for the Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet SIUMI 2006 In conjunction with the 26th Int. Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS'06) Lisbon, Portugal, July 4th, 2006 ( Web site: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/ pdf version of the SIUMI'06 cfp: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/cfp.pdf ) Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the middleware and the applications that should adapt traditional services to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future scenario. The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart. The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging issues. Only a new methodology to produce a synergic design of an integrated and unified middleware can permit the deployment of all viable and available services that make possible to consider new properties for fruition, mainly connected with the new features of context-awareness. Many different provisioning scenarios are on the way, from the possibility of providing non-strict real-time data streaming adapted to very different wireless devices, by taking advantage of caching and multicast wherever possible, to a possibility of creating dynamic and impromptu communities based on common current locality and on presently available heterogeneous devices, by taking into account different resources and energy consumption limitations After the encouraging answer to the first edition, this second workshop intends to offer a renovated opportunity of putting together different experiences by providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to compare and exchange new ideas, research results, experiences, and products about different aspects related to Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: * Distributed platforms * Content delivery architectures * Caching and replication * Peer-to-peer schemes * Context-based services and applications * Middleware and software supports * Mobile-enabled middleware mechanisms * Personalization and transcoding * Mobile code and mobile agent technology * Service deployment and adaptation * Resource discovery algorithms * Performance evaluation * Resource and network monitoring * Security issues * QoS-based protocols and servers * Resource and service management PAPER SUBMISSION SIUMI 2006 invites authors to submit original and unpublished work. Papers must be written in English and should not exceed 6 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Authors should submit a PostScript or PDF file through the submission Web site ( http://lia.deis.unibo.it/siumi/), which will be soon available. Submission implies the acceptance that at least one author will register and present the paper. Accepted papers will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Cost290] CfP IWSOS 2006 Date: Tue, 06 Dec 2005 20:56:56 +0200 From: Yevgeni Koucheryavy <yk(a)cs.tut.fi> To: cost290(a)cs.tut.fi Please apologize in case you receive multiple copies. New Trends in Network Architectures and Services: International Workshop on Self-Organizing Systems (IWSOS 2006) September 18 - 20, 2006 University of Passau, Germany http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/iwsos Prospective technical co-sponsors: EuroNGI, IFIP, IEEE, ACM, GI, IEE, IEICE, KICS Overview: The evolution of the Internet reveals surprising turns and obstacles. Centralized approaches of introducing new services and architectures consistently failed to materialize at large scale. Quality of Service, group communication, or mobility support are only some examples for the difficulty with orchestrated approaches. The success story of the Internet, on the other hand, is strongly linked to decentralization. Robustness to failures or flexibility in introducing new applications such as the World Wide Web or Peer-to-Peer systems have been key momentum to technological advancements and economics. Future networks are envisioned to be highly complex and difficult to manage due to heterogeneity of networks, spontaneous set-up of networks, and the envisioned number of interconnected devices, appliances, and artifacts. The question that poses itself is whether self-organization can be exploited to a larger scale for solving some of the pending problems for such future networks. Self-organization may even play a key architectural role of the future Internet for enhanced flexibility and evolvability. It is the goal of this workshop to bring together leading international and multi-disciplinary researchers to create a visionary forum for inves- tigating the potentials in self-organization and the means to achieve it. Key Note Speaker: * A Panel on "Would self-organized or self-managed networks lead to a better networking world?" * A Works in Progress Session focusing on emerging research * Industrial exhibitions and demonstrations Important Dates: * Paper abstract deadline: March 23rd 2006, 11:59pm CET * Paper submission deadline: April 1st 2006, 11:59pm CET * Notification of acceptance: May 15th 2006 * Camera-ready papers due: June 15th 2006, 11:59pm CET * Author registration deadline: June 15th 2006, 11:59 CET * Early registration deadline: August 1st, 2006 * Hotel reservation cut-off date: August 15th, 2006 * Workshop dates: September 18th - 20th 2006 * Workshop reception and welcome party: September 17th 2006 Steering Committee: * Hermann de Meer, University of Passau, Germany * David Hutchison, Lancaster University, UK * Bernhard Plattner, ETH Zurich, Switzerland * James Sterbenz, University of Kansas, USA Program Chairs: * Hermann De Meer University of Passau Passau, Germany * James Sterbenz University of Kansas Lawrence, KS, USA _______________________________________________ Cost290 mailing list Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi https://mailman.cs.tut.fi/mailman/listinfo/cost290
