-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Tccc] MOBIQUITOUS 2006 Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 15:34:19 -0500 From: Prasun Sinha <prasun(a)cse.ohio-state.edu> To: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> MOBIQUITOUS 2006 Sponsored by Create-Net and ICST The Third Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing, Networking and Service http://www.mobiquitous.org July 17 - 21, 2006 San Jose, California, USA In Cooperation with ACM SIGMOBILE Pending Sponsorship: IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Computer Society The combination of mobile and ubiquitous computing is emerging as a promising new paradigm with the goal to provide computing and communication services all the time, everywhere, transparently and invisibly to the user, using devices embedded in the surrounding physical environment. In this context, the communication devices, the objects with which they interact, or both may be mobile. The implementation of such a paradigm requires advances in wireless network technologies and devices, development of infrastructures supporting cognitive environments, and discovery and identification of ubiquitous computing applications and services. The Third Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: networking and services (Mobiquitous-06) will cover all these aspects, providing a forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved in ubiquitous solutions design and deployment will be able to interact exchanging the cross-layer experiences needed to build the overall ubiquitous systems. Areas addressed by the conference include applications, service-oriented computing, middleware, networking, agents, data management and services, all with special focus on mobility and ubiquitous computing. PAPERS: Technical papers describing original, previously unpublished research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, are solicited. The conference is interested in contributions addressing all the areas associated with mobile and ubiquitous architectures, infrastructure, data and services. Technical papers clearly identifying how the specific contributions fit to an overall working solution are particularly of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following feature topics: * Ubiquitous architectures and systems * Wearable computing and personal area networks * Wireless technologies for mobile and ubiquitous (Bluetooth, ZigBee, 802.15.x, WiFi) * Wireless Internet access in ubiquitous systems * Reconfigurability and personalization of wireless networks * Service discovery mechanisms, knowledge discovery, matching and composition mechanisms * Wireless/mobile service management and delivery * Security, privacy and social issues of mobile and ubiquitous systems * Peer-to-peer computing and networking * Emerging industrial/business/scientific scenarios * Multimodal interfaces (speech, video kinetic, tactile) * Smart spaces * Ad hoc and sensor networks * Location-based services and tracking * Context and location aware application * Multimedia encoding and transcoding * Middleware services * Agent technologies in ubiquitous, wearable, and mobile systems * Hardware and software platforms for ubiquitous systems, and testbeds * Context modeling, services and frameworks * Toolkits, development environments, and languages for ubiquitous computing * Rapid prototyping of ubiquitous applications * Ontologies for mobile and ubiquitous computing * Mobile and ubiquitous data management SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS: All paper submissions will be handled electronically (see the conference web page for details). Authors should prepare an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of their full paper. Papers must not exceed 8 pages double column (US Letter size, 8.5 x 11 inches) including text, figures and references. The font size must be at least 10 points. The deadline for submitting the actual paper is February 20, 2006. All deadlines are 11:59PM PST. PUBLICATION: All submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by the international technical program committee. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be proposed for publication in the ACM/Kluwer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) journal. WORKSHOPS: Four workshops will be run in conjunction with the conference. Please see the web site for more information. DEMOS: Proposals for research and industrial demos are solicited. A maximum of 3 pages should be submitted which include a description of the demo and needed equipment. Proposals should be submitted to the Demo Chair by May 1, 2006.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Cost290] ACM/SIGMOBILE REALMAN 2006: Call for Papers Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 13:12:02 +0100 From: Andrea Passarella <andrea.passarella(a)iit.cnr.it> To: cost 290 <Cost290(a)cs.tut.fi> [Our apologies for possible duplicates of this message] ===================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Second International Workshop on Multi-hop Ad hoc Networks: from theory to reality REALMAN 2006 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/realman Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE in conjunction with MobiHoc 2006 jointly organized by University of Cambridge, UK CNR-Institute for Informatics and Telematics, I May 26, 2006 Florence, Italy Ad hoc networking technologies have big potentialities for innovative applications of great impact on our everyday life. To exploit these potentialities, simulation modeling and theoretical analyses have to be complemented by real experiences (e.g., measurements on real prototypes) which provide both a direct evaluation of ad hoc networks and, at the same time, precious information to realistically model these systems. The need for more experimental activities stimulated a new community of researchers combining theoretical research on ad hoc networking with experiences/measurements obtained by implementing ad hoc network prototypes. The aim of REALMAN is to bring together this community. Following the success of the first edition, this workshop constitutes a unique forum for presenting and discussing measurement studies and experiences based on real ad hoc network test-beds and prototypes. Original contributions are solicited, related to systems and protocols *development*, *measurement* and *testing*, in all areas related to ad hoc networking. We encourage authors willing to submit a regular paper to also submit a *demo* proposal. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Ad Hoc Networks Applications * System Prototypes and Experiences * Mobile Ad Hoc Networks * Opportunistic and Delay Tolerant Networks * Sensor Networks * Mesh Networks * Vehicular Networks * Protocols Implementation and Testing * Middleware Platforms for Ad Hoc Networks * Ad Hoc Networking for Pervasive Environments * Situated Autonomic Communications * Location Services * Positioning and Tracking Technologies and Services * Measurement Studies * Mobility Models based on Real Data * Enabling Technologies (802.11, 802.15, etc.) * Experiment-based Social and/or Economic Analysis of Mobile Ad hoc Networks DEMO SESSION A demo session will be held during the workshop, showing real prototypes at work. Demo proposals are highly welcome, and will be evaluated by the Program Committee. An extended abstract (up to three pages) describing the demo will be published in the workshop proceedings. More information on demo-proposal submission can be found at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/realman. PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Papers must not be already under submission for any other publication. Paper submissions for regular papers must be limited to 8 pages including text, figures, references, and appendices; single- or double-column are fine for submissions. The font size used in the text of your submission must not be smaller than 10 points. Papers significantly exceeding the maximum length of 8 pages will be automatically rejected. Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the workshop and present the paper. More information on paper submission instructions can be found at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/realman. SPECIAL ISSUES Distinguished papers will be invited to submit extended versions to high-quality journal. In this regard, we will take into particular consideration papers for which a demo will be accepted for presentation during the workshop.
