-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Extended Deadline: IEEE BIONETICS 2006 Datum: Mon, 31 Jul 2006 09:18:24 +0200 Von: Falko Dressler <dressler(a)INFORMATIK.UNI-ERLANGEN.DE> Antwort an: Mailing List der GI FG 3.3.1 "Kommunikation und Verteilte Systeme" <KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE> Organisation: University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany An: KUVS-L(a)LISTSERV.UNI-HEIDELBERG.DE Our apologies if you have received multiple copies of this CFP. ***************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS BIONETICS 2006 1st International Conference on Bio inspired Models of Network, Information and Computing Systems http://www.bionetics.org/ Cavalese, Italy, December 11-13, 2006 Technically sponsored by IEEE CIS, IEEE SMC Jointly sponsored by EU(IST-FET), CREATE-NET, ICST *** Submission deadline extended: August 7, 2006 *** ** Papers will be listed on the IEEE Xplore and IEEE digital library ** ***************************************************************** Technology is taking us to a world where myriads of heavily networked devices interact with the physical world in multiple ways, and at multiple scales, from the global Internet scale down to micro- and nano-devices. Many of these devices are highly mobile and autonomous, and must adapt to the surrounding environment in a totally unsupervised way. A fundamental research challenge is the design of robust decentralized computing systems capable of operating under changing environments and noisy input, and yet exhibit the desired behaviour and response time, under constraints such as energy consumption, size, and processing power. These systems should be able to adapt and learn how to react to unforeseen scenarios as well as to display properties comparable to social entities. Biological systems are able to handle many of these challenges with an elegance and efficiency still far beyond current human artifacts. Based on this observation, bio-inspired approaches have been proposed in the past years as a strategy to handle the complexity of such systems. The goal is to obtain methods on how to engineer technical artifacts which have similar high stability and efficiency as biological entities often have. The BIONETICS conference aims at bringing together researchers and scientists from several disciplines in computer science and engineering where bio-inspired methods are investigated. We are soliciting high-quality original papers in the following five areas including but not limited to the following topics: a) Bio-inspired mathematical models, methods and tools - Mathematical models of biological processes - Qualitative assessment of evolutionary algorithms - Multiscale dynamics of emergent properties b) Bio-inspired software - Engineering methods and tools for bio-inspired systems - Bio-inspired service evolution and optimization - Pandemic service deployment strategies c) Bio-inspired security mechanisms - Artificial immune and self-healing systems - Cell, body, population-level security mechanisms - Adaptive and evolving protection mechanisms d) Bio-inspired networks and communication systems - Bio-inspired network algorithms and protocols - Bio-inspired autonomic communication systems - Evolution of network architectures and protocols e) Bio-inspired and bio-based nano-scale communication and information systems - Molecular communication - Biological computing - Nano-scale biologically engineered systems -------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS -------------------------------------------------- Prospective authors should submit full papers with up to 8 pages, or short papers with up to 1 page.

Call For Papers: 3rd IEEE SAINT 2007 Workshop on Next Generation Service Platforms for Future Mobile Systems (SPMS 2007) in conjunction with the 2007 International Symposium on Applications and the Internet (SAINT) Hiroshima, JAPAN, January 15-19, 2007 http://infonet.cse.kyutech.ac.jp/conf/saint07/ Deadline for Submission of Papers: September 22, 2006 Accepted papers will be published by IEEE CS press For more details see the below text or: http://www.docomoeurolabs.de/callforpaper_SAINT_SPMS2007.html Regards, Stefan ARBANOWSKI, FOKUS, Germany Wolfgang KELLERER, DoCoMo Euro-Labs, Germany Masayoshi OHASHI, KDDI, Japan Mitsuru UESUGI, Panasonic, Japan Workshop co-chairs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- 3rd IEEE SAINT 2007 Workshop on Next Generation Service Platforms for Future Mobile Systems (SPMS 2007) (http://infonet.cse.kyutech.ac.jp/conf/saint07/workshops/CFPaper/index.h tml) in conjunction with the 2007 International Symposium on Applications and the Internet (SAINT) Hiroshima, JAPAN, January 15-19, 2007 Theme of the Workshop: The enormous success of the Internet results to a large extent from the flexible and easy to use platform it provides to create innovative services and applications that quickly find acceptance and customers. In parallel to the Internet, mobile communications also has evolved to an integral component in our everyday life providing a growing variety of services. Industry is pushing new standards that allow high data rate multimedia applications as well as seamless communication across heterogeneous radio and network technologies including Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC). The success of the next generation mobile telecommunication systems will again depend on the services and applications that can be provided. These future systems are expected to converge paradigms of traditional mobile telecommunication systems and the Internet protocols and software engineering methods. New paradigms will emerge. For example, the customer acceptance is considered to be widely increased by tailoring services and applications to actual user needs, their preferences and the context a user is in. Another example is Peer-to-Peer (P2P). Peer-to-Peer communication supports customers exchanging their own services and resources among each other (e.g., in communities). Furthermore, applying the Peer-to-Peer paradigm to existing system allows cost saving through reuse of available resources. A well engineered next generation service platform should provide all capabilities to allow innovative services to be created and deployed in short time addressing user needs and operator requirements. Open interfaces allow a chaining of expertise in service provisioning. Semantic technologies may help to structure knowledge about the user's vicinity. Issues to be addressed in the workshop include: - Open Service Architectures - Mobile Service Platforms (in heterogeneous and ubiquitous environments) - Mobile peer to peer networking and applications - Capabilities and features for next generation mobile services (context-awareness, personalization/personal agent, high quality multimedia, information distribution) - Semantic Service Building Blocks (service modelling, service creation, service discovery, service composition, service execution, service management) - Privacy and trust as enabling technologies for service platforms - Service platform prototypes, trials, test beds, and evaluation - Innovative mobile applications and services This Workshop is the best opportunity to address this highly important theme in sufficient depth and breadth. It is intended to share knowledge and exchange ideas to promote new studies a nd research topics in the area of service provisioning in IP-based mobile systems. The workshop is open to contributions from all experts in service technologies from industry and academia, including bodies such as mITF and WWRF, but not being limited to those. The Mobile IT Forum (mITF) and the Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF) are both organizations working towards the next generation of mobile communication systems. Those bodies represent each more than 140 member organizations (including companies, universities, and research institutes). Those bodies have dedicated working groups to the architecture/platform challenge. This workshop will be the unique opportunity to discuss service architecture/platform issues on a highly international level with experts from these bodies. Papers and Author's Kit: Workshop papers should be within 4 pages, no extra page is allowed. The Proceedings of the Symposium and the Workshops will be published, in separated volumes, by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Please follow the instruction on the web below for preparing your Workshop papers. http://infonet.cse.kyutech.ac.jp/conf/saint07/> Author's Kit etc. Paper Submission: Papers should be sent to the Organizers no later than September 22, 2006.

(fwd) Datum: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 23:55:00 -0300 (BRT) Von: Carlos Becker Westphall <westphal(a)inf.ufsc.br> Antwort an: mycolleagues(a)inf.ufsc.br An: mycolleagues(a)inf.ufsc.br 10th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management 21-25 May 2007 University of Federal Armed Forces Munich, Munich, Germany www.ieee-im.org Call for Papers, Panels, Tutorials, Workshops 10th IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management (IM 2007): The Tenth IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Management (IM 2007) will be held 21-25 May 2007 in Munich, Germany. IM 2007 will present the latest technical advances in the area of management, operations and control of networks, networking services, networked applications, and distributed systems. Held in odd-numbered years since 1989 and taking turns with its sibling conference NOMS, IM 2007 will build on the successes of its predecessors and serve as the primary forum for exchange among the research, standards, vendor and user communities in the field of integrated management. The symposium is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 6.6 on Management of Networks and Distributed Systems, and by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Network Operations and Management (CNOM). Integrated management of networked systems is facing new challenges, stemming from a combination of rapidly evolving technologies and an increased scrutiny from corporate customers. At the same time, as IT and network services become more and more ubiquitous, their reliability and performance become more critical for all kinds of enterprises. The resulting demands for improving and verifying service quality must be met in an environment of increasingly distributed and decentralized service provisioning, accelerated service lifecycles, and unprecedented security challenges. Today's IT management issues involve many diverse problems in controlling heterogeneous IT infrastructures, often across organizational boundaries. However, new and difficult challenges are emerging while aligning technical and organizational IT management to business requirements, thus calling for integrating management tools and measures "from bits to business value". IM 2007 will be organized into technical and application sessions, panels, tutorials and workshops. In addition, it will feature an industrial experience track to share practical lessons learned by the user and vendor communities, posters, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and vendor exhibits. In the tradition of previous events, we strive to make the IM 2007 Symposium the highest quality professional event of the year. Paper submissions will undergo a stringent review process implemented by the Technical Program Committee, which includes the most respected experts in the field. We encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results based on experience with integrated management of networks, systems, applications and services. TOPICS OF INTEREST: Topics of interest to IM 2007 include, but are not limited to, the following: Management Paradigms, Theories and Models Management and Virtual Environments Management Standards and Enabling Technologies Operation and Management Functions Service Engineering and Operational Challenges Management of Emerging Networks and Services Organizational Aspects of IT Service Management Autonomic Computing and Self-Management For details, visit http://www.ieee-im.org/2007/.

Obergurgl (Innsbruck), AUSTRIA http://wons07.uibk.ac.at ------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the conference ----------------------- The world of wireless networks in the last few years has definitely turned its attention and focus more on "lightweight" networks, cheap and easily deployed, rather than the traditional, infrastructured cellular networks. The aim is providing ubiquitous connectivity and network centric services, with the important attribute of service provisioning "on demand" with minimal planning and management effort as well as with little dependency on existing network infrastructures. Even in the cellular network world, providers often point out their capacity to offer ad-hoc services that are tailored for a specific event or community, e.g. gaming on cellular networks. On the other extreme, peer2peer systems can provide innovative communication services to a community on ad-hoc networks, requiring almost no infrastructure. Ambient intelligence and ubiquitous computing are also part of this broad vision of "on demand" networking, providing services to users when they need it, albeit the final user might not even be aware if it! WONS is now at its fourth edition, and the community interest is still on the rise, providing a premier forum for high quality papers presentation and lively discussion. For this conference we request submissions of high quality research papers on "wireless on demand networks" that provide novel insights on protocol and network design, modeling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models, practical implementations, service level aspects and Internet integration of wireless networks. Topics related to wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks comprise, but are not limited to: * Architecture and Design * Analysis through simulation and experimental evaluation * Modeling * Internet integration * Social and economic aspects * Pervasive / ubiquitous computing * Localization and mobility management * Security * Energy-efficient protocols and power management * Applications and Service Support * Data dissemination and peer2peer systems Manuscript submissions ---------------------- Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere nor currently be under review by another conference or journal. Authors are invited to submit full papers (8 pages) and short papers (4 pages). Short papers should address future research directions, ongoing work, and visionary, innovative ideas. All papers should be submitted electronically as PDF, according to the IEEE publisher format. The papers will be published in the conference proceedings published by the IEEE.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Image and Video Processing for Disability Datum: Mon, 24 Jul 2006 21:58:02 +0200 Von: IJIVP Alert <ijivp(a)alert.hindawi.com> An: <wolf(a)ibr.cs.tu-bs.de> >>> International Journal of Image and Video Processing Special Issue on Image and Video Processing for Disability Call for Papers New technologies represent a great opportunity for the improvement of life and independent living of the disabled and elder people. Over the last decade, active researches have produced novel algorithms for blind, deaf, mute people or for people with severe motor disabilities. These researches are strongly related with the development of new dedicated systems for human-computer interactions. Whatever the kind of handicap, image processing can provide a significant help for disability compensation to avoid the gap increasing between disabled and nondisabled people with respect to the new technologies. Researches for new systems for disabled people are multidisciplinary research from engineering sciences (computer science, HCI, automatic, electronics, etc.) and human sciences (psychology, cognition, etc.). Here we are focusing on researches involving image and video processing for disability. However, multimodal signals-based systems can be considered. The goal of this special issue is to provide original contributions in the field of image and video processing for disability.

CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment (NIME'07) CCNC 2007 - Satellite Workshop January 11 2007, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society The growing availability of digital contents and the simultaneous cost reductions in storage, processing, and networking is driving the growth of the entertainment technology. While in the past entertainment technology traditionally offered predominantly passive experiences, continual advances in network and computer technologies are providing tools for implementing greater interactivity and for enabling consumers to enjoy more exciting experiences, such as, for example, interactive digital TV, interactive theatre and orchestrated music and sound design. This phenomenon is pulling together an extremely diverse group of experts specializing in different technical areas, such as networking, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, games, animation, multimedia design, human-computer interaction, educational media and software engineering. Even though high-tech entertainment promotes interdisciplinary fusion, yet only the ubiquity of wireless/wired communication is considered suitable for accepting the challenge of building a large interactive environment for the delivery of the maximum entertainment value to millions of consumers worldwide. In this respect, there is a great hope that the wired and wireless may take over this complex scenario for fulfilling the consumer expectations. The third IEEE International Workshop on Networking Issues in Multimedia Entertainment provides an open forum for researchers, engineers and academia to exchange the latest technical information and research findings on next-generation networked multimedia concepts, technologies, systems, and applications for entertainment covering existing deployments, current developments and future evolution. Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas: Technologies for Entertainment: Architectures, Platforms and Protocols for Networked Games Internetworking, Vertical Roaming and Session Handoffs for Entertainment (Internet to WLAN, to 3G/BT/...)
