-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CfP] GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch "Energiebe wusste Systeme und Methoden" Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 14:19:39 +0200 From: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-ERLANGEN.DE> Reply-To: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organization: University of Erlangen To: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE !!!Terminverschiebung!!! ============================================================== GI/ITG KuVS Fachgespräch „Energiebewußte Systeme und Methoden“ 11./12. Oktober 2005, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg Aufruf zur Einreichung von Beiträgen ============================================================== Energie ist eine kritische bzw. sogar die kritischste Ressource bei vielen modernen mobilen Rechensystemen und deren Anwendungen vom Laptop über das Mobiltelefon bis hin zu Sensornetzwerken. Energiebewußtsein und energiegewahres Arbeiten sind für mobile Systeme die Grundvoraussetzung. Somit stellt dieses Arbeitsgebiet einen wichtigen Bereich der aktuellen Forschung im Bereich Systemsoftware (Betriebs- und Kommunikationssysteme) dar. Insbesondere entstehen, getrieben durch immer kleinere und mobilere Endgeräte, neue Anwendungsszenarien mit hohen Anforderungen an Verfügbarkeit, Langlebigkeit, Adaptivität und Selbstorganisation. Forschungsgebiete ----------------- Betriebssysteme: Einzig das Betriebssystem kennt alle strukturellen Eigenschaften der darunter liegenden Hardware wie auch der laufenden Anwendungen, die implizit durch die Aktivierung von Hardwarekomponenten Energie verbrauchen. Wegen dieser Vermittlerrolle konzentriert sich die Forschung auf Betriebssystemstrategien, die durch Wissen über die Gesamtheit der internen Abläufe den Energieverbrauch wirksam beeinflussen können. Das Betriebssystem kann dabei die Hardwarekomponenten in den jeweils für das Gesamtsystem optimalen Betriebsmodus versetzen und die Verweildauer in den jeweiligen Betriebsmodi durch eine energiebewußte Aktivitätensteuerung beeinflussen. Ein Betriebsmodus mit reduzierter Energieaufnahme impliziert dabei in der Regel eine reduzierte Geschwindigkeit bzw. eine höhere Zugriffsverzögerung. Rechnernetze: Mobile Netze zeichnen sich durch die Nutzung von Radiowellen als Übertragungskanal aus. Funkübertragung ist bei hohen Datenraten und/oder großen Reichweiten sehr teuer in Bezug auf die benötigt Energie für die Transmission. Basierend auf der eingesetzten Technologie für die Übertragung und den genutzten Protokollen, kann die Anzahl der Sende- und Empfangszeit minimiert werden. Dies stellt einen wesentlichen Beitrag zu energiebewußter Kommunikation dar. Kommunikationsprotokolle: Aufbauend auf den eingesetzten Übertragungstechniken, lassen sich die Protokolle der Datenkommunikation für energiebewußte Funktion anpassen. Sogenanntes Cross-Layer-Design hilft, Verzerrungs- und Störeffekte zwischen den Protokollen der Sicherungs-, Netzwerk- und Transportschicht zu vermeiden bzw. zu minimieren. Neue Kommunikationsparadigmen helfen in hochmobilen Netzen den Kommunikationsaufwand für Statusverwaltung und Selbstorganisation der Netze zu vermeiden. Middleware: Mit der zunehmenden Vernetzung mobiler und eingebetteter Systeme ist das energiebewußte Arbeiten von Basisfunktionalität sogenannter Middleware-Dienste, wie Kommunikation und Vermittlung, unabdingbar. Insbesondere kann auf dieser Schicht nicht isoliert gearbeitet werden, sondern es sind schichtenübergreifende Umsetzungen der Anwendungsanforderungen auf Middleware-Funktionalität, den Mechanismen des zugrunde liegenden Betriebssystems und den Kommunikationsdiensten zu entwickeln. Querschnittsthema aller Forschungsgebiete ist das energiebewußte Arbeiten. Ziel des Fachgesprächs soll es unter anderem sein, Forschungsinhalte zwischen den einzelnen Fachgebieten miteinander zu verknüpfen und auf diesem Weg neue Synergieeffekte zu schaffen, die helfen, gerade die Querschnittsbelange Energieeffizienz und allgemeine Ressourcenverwaltung zu optimieren. Inhalte des Fachgesprächs ------------------------- Unter dem thematischen Schwerpunkt energiebewußte Systeme und Methoden sind Beiträge zu allen relevanten Themengebieten erwünscht. Dazu gehören unter anderem aber nicht ausschließlich: • Betriebssystemunterstützung • Kommunikationsmethoden • Protokollentwurf • Simulationstechniken • Schichtenübergreifende Entwürfe energiebewußter Systeme • Unterstützung von energiebewußtem Arbeiten durch Hardware Beiträge -------- Beiträge sollen als Kurzfassungen (extended abstracts) 2-6 Seiten im Springer LNCS-Format eingereicht werden. Es werden Beiträgen in deutscher und englischer Sprache angenommen. Die angenommenen Beiträge werden als technischer Bericht publiziert. Weitere Informationen werden unter http://www7.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/~dressler/fg-energie/ bereitgestellt. Einreichung als PDF bitte an Falko Dressler (dressler(a)informatik.uni-erlangen.de). ----------------------------------------------- Wichtige Daten: Frist für die Einreichungen: 16.9.2005 Benachrichtigung: 4.10.2005 Tagung: 11./12.10.2005 ----------------------------------------------- Organisation ------------ Dieses Fachgespräch wird von Falko Dressler organisiert. Die Fachgespräche unterstehen einem Leitungsgremium bestehend aus Dr. Falko Dressler (Universität Erlangen), Dr. Christian Becker (Universität Stuttgart), Prof. Dr. Frank Bellosa (Universität Karlsruhe) und Prof. Dr. Dirk Timmermann (Universität Rostock). Aufgrund einer Terminkollision mit der Jahrestagung der GI-Fachgruppe Betriebssysteme haben wir uns entschieden, das Fachgespräch auf Oktober zu verschieben. Dies hat den gleichzeitigen Vorteil der zeitlichen und örtlichen Nähe zum Fachgespräch „Systemsoftware für Pervasive Computing“, welches auch in Erlangen stattfinden wird. -- Dr.-Ing.

K. Edwin **** Submission Deadline --- Oct. 1, 2005 **** ======================================================== Cooperation between devices in wireless networks has been identified as one of the key technology enablers required to facilitate next generation wireless communication systems. Much of the existing research in wireless networking assumes a communication between one sender and one or multiple receiver(s). For reasons of self-interest, users may however allow terminals to engage in cooperative behavior, resulting in improved overall network performance. For cooperation, terminals will connect to each other using a short range communication link and simultaneously being connected to the centralized access point. This configuration allows many forms of cooperation. For this special issue, we distinguish between altruism and cooperation by requiring that cooperation benefit each entity involved. From this perspective, pure relaying is an example of altruism and not cooperation. Cooperation is not limited to a single ISO/OSI protocol layer, but can be addressed across multiple protocol layers. The focus of this call is to solicit novel papers addressing cooperation over all protocol layers from physical to application layer. =============================== Submission and Important Dates Submission deadline 1st October Notification 15th January Final version 15th February Planed Issue 2nd half 2006 Papers should follow the Springer format (11pt, single column, double spaced) and not exceed twenty pages including figures and tables.

Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas of cooperative wireless networks: Architectural Principles Multi-Access Capability Network Coding Radio Access Technologies Cooperative Processing Resource Management Distributed Radio Cooperative Channel Coding Heterogenous Networks Terminal design Self-organizing networks Cognitive Networks Middle-Ware Grid-Computing Source coding for cooperation Cooperating Services =============================== Guest Editors Frank H.P.

September 2005 Location: Paris, France Submission Deadline: 20. June 2005 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP ------------------------------ Computer Games and Collaborative Working Environments - at first glance this appears to be a surprising combination. However, there are several overlaps between these two research areas. The aim of the workshop is to study commonalities and particularities in the design of Computer Games and CSCW systems in their structure and as a learning environment. Nowadays Computer Games are not only used for entertainment purposes but become a serious issue in research and business. Games have long provided a structured environment for quickly learning complex collaborative or cooperative behaviours through play. Computer Games find application in today's working environments as so called 'Serious Games' for training and simulation purposes, and share as a collaborative activity several features and requirements with collaborative working environments. Games may combine successfully traditional aspects of gaming with the anytime, anywhere approach of modern information technology as in pervasive games. The aim of the workshop is to create a mutual understanding of how CSCW systems and Computer Games can benefit from each other in technology-mediated settings such as computer or video games, augmented reality, virtual reality, cross-media, mobile devices, live action role plays, or massively multi-player online role playing games (MMORPG). We are interested in examining structures which both research areas, Computer Games and CSCW systems have in common, and which can be shared in future applications. Join us for a single-day workshop on Computer Games and CSCW and contribute with your position paper. A panel discussion will study in general how CSCW Systems and Computer Games can benefit from each other. It will cover new uses for games, ways of incorporating new methods into traditional CSCW usability testing, and ways of pursuing new goals such as peer or collaborative learning with games. Breakout groups will elaborate on panel topics, and also devise next steps for this interest community. The workshop will be highly interactive, allowing time for interpersonal, small group communication, questions, and discussion. The workshop will bring together researchers, practitioners and designers from several disciplines, including game design and development, communication, psychology, computer science, graphics, visual art, etc. Participants are selected based on submitted position papers. A workshop report will be generated for SIGCHI Bulletin, and workshop participants are invited to submit extended versions of their position papers for publication in the journal Interactive Technology and Smart Education. SUBMISSIONS ----------- Participants will be asked to electronically submit the following: 1. A position paper of no more than six pages (in the ECSCW paper format), which should include either/or: (a) A discussion of interest on collaborative learning in Computer Games. (b) A description of a practical approach in development of Computer Games in a Collaborative Working Environment. (c) Examples or some discussion on lessons learned for CSCW systems by having taken certain approaches to design or evaluation. 2. A profile of the author, as an appendix, consisting of: (a) A short biography (no more than 250 words) (b) The discipline(s) you are situated in (c) A brief description of your relevant work, with references (e.g. URLs) Please submit your position papers to: Ecscw-games-workshop(a)fit.fraunhofer.de IMPORTANT DATES --------------- * 20.
