-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ACF-Members: CFP- "Context Aware Networks" : CANET'05 ; 5 July 2005, Paris, France Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2005 10:34:56 +0000 From: Alex Galis <a.galis(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk> To: : CC: Ahmed Karmouch <karmouch(a)site.uottawa.ca>, Alex Galis <a.galis(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk> Dear All Would you and your colleagues be so kind as to consider the enclosed call for papers (i.e. deadline 25th March 2005) for the International Workshop on Context Aware Networks, Technologies and Applications - CANET'05; 5 July 2005, Paris, France Thank you in advance. Best Regards Alex Galis [My apologies if you receive this more than once] ================================================ International Workshop on Context Aware Networks- Technologies and Applications - CANET'05 www.ee.ucl.ac.uk/~nsg/conferences/context05/ Held in conjunction with 5th International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context, July 5, 2005 - Paris, France http://context-05.org/ Scope ====== Context-aware networking enables new types of applications and services in ambient environments. These applications can help users react positively to unexpected events such as emergency situations, acquire value-added services, receive messages in the most useful and suitable manner, or obtain compensation when planned activities are changed or delayed. Exploiting network-related context information can make mobile communication networks simpler, more efficient, and more powerful. For instance, mobility management can benefit from context information about the current position and direction of a vehicle, which could be provided by a navigation system connected to a vehicular area network, and information about wireless access possibilities in the then-known geographical area to improve its handover operations. Other examples are delaying the transmission of an email over an expensive connection when context information predicts the availability of a cheap hot-spot connection to be reached in the near future. This view of context management differs from the traditional focus on user preferences regarding applications and services; it rather takes a network-centric view: Protocols, not applications, adapt themselves based on context information. The aim of the workshop is to provide a unique opportunity for researchers, software and application developers, and computer network technologists to discuss new developments on the context aware mobile and ambient networks technologies and applications. Relevant topics ---------------- . Papers describing original research, surveys and applications in the following areas are solicited: . Context aware platforms and architecture for Ambient Networks. . Context in Grids systems and architectures. . Context Ontologies for Grids. . Context Identification, Retrieval and Management in Services and Networks . Provisioning, Maintenance and Management of Quality of Context. . Context Ontologies for Ambient Networks. . Context in Peer-to-Peer Networks and Services . Context in Autonomic Communications. . Context aware Self- adapting, Self-configurable, Self-Management Networks and Grids. . Autonomic Context aware communications and systems management. . Programmable Context aware Networks and Services. . Security, Trust and Privacy in Context sensitive Communications. . Context in Content Oriented Network & Service Management. . Context in Sensors Networks and Services. . Implementation and experiences with context aware networking infrastructure and components Important Dates ---------------- Submissions due: 25th March 2005 Acceptance notification: 15th April 2005 Camera-ready papers received: 30th April 2005 Program on line: 5th May 2005 +++++++++ posted to acf-members by Alex Galis <a.galis(a)ee.ucl.ac.uk> +++++++++

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ICEC] International Forum on 'Less is more - Simple Computing in an Age of Complexity' - 27-28 April 2005 Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2005 10:21:46 -0000 From: Marco Combetto <marcomb(a)microsoft.com> To: <icec(a)listserver.tue.nl> Dears ICEC subscribers, This mail is about a call for abstracts that *Microsoft Research Cambridge* is organizing. The deadline for abstracts is the 15 Feb. Best Regards Marco Combetto Research Program Manager External Research Office Microsoft Research Limited mobile +39 348 224 7008 marcomb(a)microsoft.com <mailto:marcomb@microsoft.com> *TITLE:* International Forum on ‘Less is more - Simple Computing in an Age of Complexity’ - 27–28 April 2005 *DESCRIPTION:* OVERVIEW: Computers continue to become smaller, cheaper, more powerful, ubiquitous and more diverse and yet for many computing is still associated with the desktop device. As a consequence, the potential of computing to shape, improve and change the social, cultural and creative fabric of society is limited. This Forum seeks to understand how computing will be able to affect the way we all live, work, learn and play. By thinking about computing for all rather than some, for the old as well as the young, for those in remote locations as well as those centrally located, and by designing for those with needs very different from those of our own, the Forum hopes to help define how computing and computers could become a ‘natural resource’ for any and all, wherever they and whatever they do. Achieving this will require not just a shift in people’s perceptions, of course, but radical changes in the design of computing which the Forum also wants to define: from the WIMP interface to ‘applianceness’, from mains-powered to wind-up, from the office to robotic, from graphical to tangible. CALL FOR PARTECIPATION: We are inviting you to send in an abstract of your paper (maximum 1000 words) for presentation at the Forum. It is required that each accepted paper be presented at the conference by one of its authors. Paper abstracts and papers can be sent online via https://msrcmt.research.microsoft.com/LessIsMore2005/. In case of questions related to the submission of papers and paper abstracts, please mail camlim(a)microsoft.com. Informal proceedings consisting of the accepted paper abstracts will be distributed at the conference. Accepted paper abstracts will be invited after the conference for a full paper to appear in the formal proceedings. These are planned to be published as a volume in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (subject to their approval). All such full papers will be reviewed before being accepted for publication. *Program committee* * Michel Beaudouin-Lafon, Université Paris-Sud – France * Alan Blackwell, University of Cambridge – UK * Luca Chittaro, University of Udine – Italy * Gillian Crampton Smith, Interaction Design Institute Ivrea – Italy * Bill Gaver, Royal College of Art London – UK * Richard Harper, Microsoft Research (Program chair) * Kristina Höök, Swedish Institute of Computer Science – Sweden * Kenton O’Hara, HP Labs – UK * Kenneth Olausson, Interactive Institute – Sweden * Andrew Monk, University of York – UK * Tom Rodden, University of Nottingham – UK * Kurt Schoenmaekers, Microsoft Research * Ken Wood, Microsoft Research (Program chair) URL: http://research.microsoft.com/ero/IEP/CfPapers.aspx _______________________________________________ icec mailing list icec(a)listserver.tue.nl http://listserver.tue.nl/mailman/listinfo/icec

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] [WiTMeMo'05 CFP] International workshop on Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling in conjuction with MobiSys'05 Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2005 12:16:12 -0500 From: papadopo(a)email.unc.edu CC: maria(a)cs.unc.edu *** OUR SINCERE APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE MULTIPLE COPIES*** ***OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Call For Papers ---------------------------------------------------------------------- International workshop on Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling WiTMeMo'05 in conjunction with the 3rd International Conference on Mobile Systems, Applications, and Services (MobiSys'05) June 5, 2005 Seattle, WA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview -------- The rapid deployment of wireless infrastructures in various environments triggers new applications and services that in turn generate a richer set of traces for analysis. There is a need for more realistic models of traffic, mobility, and association patterns. This can be beneficial in capacity planning, administration, and deployment of wireless infrastructures, protocol design for wireless applications and services, and their performance analysis. The Wireless Traffic Measurements and Modeling workshop is intended to serve as a forum for scientists and engineers in academia and industry to exchangeand discuss their experiences and research results about all aspects of measurements and modeling of applications, usage, access, load, and mobility in wireless networks. It will also initiate discussions on how to use these models to improve the performance of wireless networks. Furthermore, it aims in enhancing and accelerating the process of sharing traces, implementations, and test suites. In this workshop, we would like to solicit short, 6 pages, papers that report on experiences obtained from operational wireless experiments in testbeds or the field. We will use the EDAS system for the paper submission. We plan to get industrial sponsorship to support a best paper and award and a keynotespeaker. Along with regular presentations we plan to have speakers and/or panel discussions that encourage more active participation of the attendees. Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to: * Methods for collecting and analyzing measurements in different wireless environments (infrastructures, sensor networks) * Workload characterization and traffic analysis * User mobility modeling * Measurements and predictions of user access over multiple networks * Software tools in support of measurements * Measurement-based inference of network properties (for normal or abnormal behavior, network topology, hot spots) * Design of monitoring systems, sampling methods, and anomaly detection * Temporal and spatial evolution of wireless networks * Evaluation of forecasting algorithms for wireless traffic load * Comparative analysis on different wireless networks * Techniques for improving the repeatability of tests Deadlines --------- Paper submission due -------------March 10, 2005 Notification of acceptance -------- April 10, 2005 Camera-ready papers due ---------- May 6, 2005 Chairs --------- Maria Papadopouli (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) <maria(a)cs.unc.edu> Dina Papagiannaki (Intel Research Cambridge) <dina.papagiannaki(a)intel.com> Program Committee ----------------------- Mary Baker (HP Labs) Suman Banerjee (University of Wisconsin-Madison) Andrew Campbell (Columbia University) Paul Castro (IBM T.J.
