System support platforms can significantly affect the widespread and rapid adoption of novel mobile devices, because they influence both functional and non-functional characteristics of the forthcoming mobile applications. In fact, novel support for future mobile computing applications should be capable of reconciling the heterogeneity of low-level system features with application-specific requirements. In addition, it should be capable of managing the dynamic evolution of platforms and application requirements by accommodating novel system features and application requirements efficiently. This workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to foster an exchange of research results and experiences in the area of mobile applications from a system support perspective. The ultimate goal is to envision new trends and ideas about theoretical and practical aspects of designing, implementing, and evaluating future system platforms for next-generation mobile computing applications. Submitted papers must be original work with no substantial overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or conference with proceedings. TOPICS OF INTEREST: Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: - System support infrastructures, services, middleware, and tools; - Supporting functional and non-functional requirements (dependability, resource consumption, portability across heterogeneous devices, hw/sw personalization, QoS); - Runtime and programming language abstractions; - Support for system-, context-, and location-awareness; - Multi-platform solutions and runtime platform interworking; - OS support and integration between runtime platforms and native OS; - Usability, user acceptance and social impact of system support on nomadic end-users, 3rd party developers, and/or device designers and manufactures; - Supporting novel HCI paradigms, programming models, and design methodologies; - Supporting novel user interfaces and novel display (e.g., omni directional 3D displays, power-aware displays) and audio-rendering devices SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Each submission should include either a short or a full position paper including names and contact information of the authors. - Full papers should be at most 8 pages in IEEE proceedings style (two-column, single space, using 10-point font and 1-inch margins) including all figures and references; - Short papers should be at most 5 pages in IEEE proceedings style. Submissions must be made electronically in non-editable PDF or Postscript format by sending an email to fumca2006(a)nokia.com by June 16, 2006. Submission implies the acceptance that at least one author will register to the main conference and present the paper if accepted. The selection process will involve peer reviews and reviews by program committee members. The papers will be selected for the workshop based upon their originality, technical soundness, and relevance to the field of system support for future mobile computing applications. Notification of acceptance will be sent to contact authors by July 24, 2006. Authors of accepted papers will be requested to provide the camera-ready version of the paper by August 8, 2006. All Accepted papers (both full and short papers) will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication elsewhere. A Journal Special Issue will be planned after the Workshop including revised extended versions of MobiWac selected papers. Authors are encouraged to submit papers in postscript or pdf format. Information for paper submission can be found on the MobiWac webpage: http://www.cs.unibo.it/mobiwac2006/ Each submission must be accompanied by the following information: - a short abstract, - a complete list of authors and their affiliations, - a contact person for correspondence, - postal and e-mail addresses For more information, please contact the PC Chair: Luciano Bononi (bononi(a)cs.unibo.it) IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: June 5th, 2006 Notification of Acceptance: July 5th, 2006 Camera Ready version due: TBA ORGANIZING COMMITTEE General Chair: Albert Zomaya, University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia Program Chair: Luciano Bononi University of Bologna, Italy Email: bononi(a)cs.unibo.it Technical Program Committee: Antonio A.F.

[Fwd: [Tccc] Workshop on Networking in Public Transport (WNEPT'06) - Final CFP]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [Tccc] Workshop on Networking in Public Transport (WNEPT'06) - Final CFP Datum: Fri, 5 May 2006 14:50:45 +1000 Von: Lavy Libman <Lavy.Libman(a)nicta.com.au> Organisation: NICTA An: <tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu> Dear colleagues, Final reminder: the submission due date for the workshop is only 10 days away. We look forward to receiving your papers and seeing you at the workshop. ========================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop on Networking in Public Transport (WNEPT 2006) in conjunction with QShine 2006 Jointly sponsored by ICST, Create-Net, and the EU (IST-FET) Waterloo, Ontario, Canada August 10, 2006 http://www.wnept.org Public transport (PT) systems, including buses, taxis, trains, ships and airplanes, are used daily by millions of people worldwide, ranging from regular commuters in metropolitan areas to long-distance business and leisure travellers. The ability to communicate and access information during travel is becoming increasingly crucial to maintain productivity or provide entertainment for PT passengers. However, despite phenomenal advances in mobile wireless networking technologies in recent years, commercial deployments of special networking solutions to support PT passengers remain scarce (except in airplanes). For the most part, mobile end users can only communicate by connecting directly to their individual wireless service providers. This prevailing situation offers a very limited and often inadequate support for the wide range of applications and needs of PT passengers, such as broadcast of multimedia entertainment and travel-related updates, and interactive multiplayer games. Additionally, networking support to PT vehicles is necessary to enable other PT-specific applications that do not directly involve the passengers, such as real-time surveillance, remote telemetry, and management of PT-specific road infrastructure (e.g. traffic lights on priority bus lanes and rail crossings). All of these require the deployment of integrated on-board network solutions to connect between passengers, content/application servers and other vehicle-mounted devices, neighboring vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and the Internet. Moreover, some inherent features of PT, such as the repetitiveness and predictability of routes and timetables, can be used to design specialized network protocols to further improve the quality of service perceived by PT passengers. Authors are invited to submit original full papers on any aspect of public transport networking. Contributions describing theoretical research, protocol design, experiments and measurements, commercial deployments, business models, or position/vision statements are all encouraged. Descriptions of work in progress, test trials, and future work plans are highly appreciated. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Broadband access to trains and airplanes * Mobile routers and network mobility * Intra-vehicle networks * IP and IPv6 mobility support for public transport * Multiple access networks in public transport * Authorization and authentication in public transport * Inter-vehicular communications, VANETs * Intermittent-connectivity and delay-tolerant networks * Protocol design for predictable mobility * Signalling between public transport and roadside infrastructure * Content distribution and on-board caching * Location privacy for public transport passengers * Novel public transport applications and services * Billing and charging for public transport networking * Experimental results and practical deployments Important dates: Paper Submission Deadline: May 15, 2006 Notification: June 16, 2006 Final Version Due: June 30, 2006 For further information and submission instructions, visit http://www.wnept.org . _______________________________________________ Tccc mailing list Tccc(a)cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/tccc
